What can be steeped in water to drink for removing dampness?

To remove dampness from the body, you can choose one of the following herbal tea remedies: 1. **Dried Tangerine Peel and Poria Tea**: Dried tangerine peel (Chenpi) helps regulate qi, strengthen the spleen, resolve phlegm, and eliminate dampness, while poria (Fuling) promotes diuresis, reduces swelling, drains dampness, and strengthens the spleen. When steeped together as a tea, they work synergistically to fortify the spleen and stomach, transform dampness, and promote urination. However, individuals with qi deficiency should avoid this tea. 2. **Winter Melon and Lotus Leaf Tea**: Winter melon aids in transforming and moving dampness, offering diuretic, dampness-resolving, and anti-edema effects. Lotus leaf contains flavonoids and alkaloids that help activate cells, relieve summer heat, and dispel dampness. When brewed together, this combination enhances the body's transformation and transportation functions, promoting the elimination of dampness. 3. **Corn Silk and Corn Leaf Tea**: Corn silk and corn leaves have properties that resolve dampness, strengthen the spleen, promote urination, reduce swelling, drain dampness, and stop diarrhea. Drinking this tea in moderation helps the body expel excess dampness.
