Disease description:

Frequently staying up late often leads to insomnia and red eyes. I suspect this might be due to excessive dampness in the body. What are the signs of excessive internal dampness?

Symptoms of excessive dampness in the body include heavy limbs, abdominal bloating, sticky stools, or watery diarrhea. Patients are advised to engage in regular physical activity, maintain a light diet, consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid staying up late. Treatment may include taking traditional Chinese herbs that eliminate dampness. Spleen and stomach deficiency can also present typical signs of excessive dampness; dampness affects the health of the spleen and stomach, leading to symptoms such as stomachache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
