Dampness in the human body can be treated with medications that strengthen the stomach, invigorate the spleen, and promote digestion. For dampness located in the lower jiao, diuretic methods are generally used. Non-pharmacological therapies such as gua sha and cupping also have certain therapeutic effects on dampness. Additionally, acupuncture at points known for draining dampness and strengthening the spleen—such as Zusanli (ST36), Fenglong (ST40), Tianshu (ST25), and Zhongwan (CV12)—can help eliminate and expel dampness.
