There are several ways to eliminate dampness from the body. The first method is through diet, the second is exercise, and the third is medication. Specifically, your diet should be light—minimize oil, fat, sugar, and protein intake, as a light diet helps reduce dampness in the body. Engage in moderate physical activity every day, especially aerobic exercises such as yoga, jogging, or brisk walking for 45 to 120 minutes regularly. Sweating helps expel internal dampness, and weight loss also brings many benefits. Medications can also be used to remove dampness. Commonly used dampness-resolving formulas include Shen Ling Bai Zhu San and Chai Hu Shu Gan San, which help relieve spleen constraint and eliminate dampness.
