How to manage dampness and internal heat in the body

The regulation of dampness accumulation and excessive internal heat can be approached from multiple aspects to ensure the body achieves a balanced state. 1. Dietary Regulation: Avoid consuming spicy, greasy, raw, cold, and sweet foods that tend to generate dampness and internal heat. It is recommended to consume foods that clear internal heat and strengthen the spleen to remove dampness, such as mung beans, bitter melon, coix seed, and Chinese yam. A bland diet combined with thorough chewing and slow eating can aid in expelling dampness. 2. Pharmacological Therapy: Traditional Chinese patent medicines or herbal decoctions that clear heat, drain dampness, strengthen the spleen, and eliminate dampness can be selected, such as Shen Ling Bai Zhu San (Powder of Gentiana and Other Herbs) and Long Dan Xie Gan Wan (Gentiana Liver-Clearing Pill). These medications can alleviate symptoms of excessive internal heat and dampness accumulation. 3. Lifestyle Adjustments: Maintain good indoor air circulation and avoid excessively damp environments. Engage actively in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming to enhance metabolic function, which aids in the elimination of dampness. Patients with concerns should seek timely medical consultation.
