Methods for removing dampness from the body
Disease description:
During PE class, I couldn't even finish one lap of running before feeling completely exhausted. I went to the school clinic, and the nurse said that I have dampness in my body, which is causing fatigue and low energy. I'd like to know how to remove dampness from the body?

To reduce the cooling properties of vegetables, add scallions and ginger when cooking. Avoid sleeping directly on the floor, as dampness from the ground can easily enter the body and cause pain in the limbs. Exercises such as running, walking, swimming, yoga, and tai chi help activate blood and qi circulation and promote water metabolism. A formula composed of Coix seed, centaury, red adzuki beans, Chinese yam, Poria, and Alisma can be used to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness; these herbs can also be added when cooking rice. Consistently taking dampness-resolving herbs over a long period will effectively clear dampness from the body on an ongoing basis.
