The causes of dampness include either poor spleen and stomach function leading to retention of dampness in the body, or overeating, or an inappropriate diet that causes weight gain and excessive internal dampness. Additionally, dampness may also arise due to certain illnesses, such as invasion by external pathogens or internal disharmony. Dampness is very common in clinical practice.
