Methods for eliminating dampness
Disease description:
My belly is quite large, and my colleagues said it might be due to dampness in the body. What are the ways to remove dampness?
There are various methods for eliminating dampness, including dietary adjustments, increased physical activity, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapies. Diet should be light, avoiding excessive intake of greasy and sweet foods, while increasing consumption of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains to promote the elimination of internal dampness. Appropriate exercise can enhance metabolism and accelerate the removal of dampness; activities such as yoga, tai chi, and jogging are excellent choices. Additionally, TCM treatments like cupping, moxibustion, and acupuncture are effective in dispelling dampness by unblocking meridians and improving circulation of qi and blood. Moreover, maintaining a dry and well-ventilated living environment and avoiding damp conditions are also important measures for reducing dampness.
