Common manifestations of excessive dampness in the body include:
1. Abnormal bowel movements: Stools are often sticky, poorly formed, and difficult to flush—this is a typical sign of dampness affecting gastrointestinal function.
2. Thick tongue coating: The tongue may exhibit a thick, yellowish or white greasy coating, which is a visible indication of internal dampness.
3. Poor mental state: Persistent fatigue, dizziness, heaviness in the head, excessive sleepiness, and possibly reduced memory.
4. Oily skin: Skin tends to be excessively oily, often accompanied by acne and enlarged pores.
5. Joint pain: Excessive dampness can lead to soreness, heaviness, and stiffness in the joints, with limited flexibility and movement.
