Why do "wet" disease prefer summer?

TCM talks about "wet" usually includes two meanings: inner wetness and wetness. It is rainy in summer, the temperature is high, and the air humidity is very large. Simply put, this can be understood as outer wet.

"Wet" is Yinxie, which is one of the six sensation. Chinese medicine talks with qi, and the outer wet can cause internal wetness, and the internal and external evils can be combined with evil. This forms a "wet" disease in summer.

Wetness becomes cold and dampness, and humidity becomes hot and humid, and humidity becomes rheumatism. Wetness is under the skin, forming obesity.

Chinese medicine says that "wet" is born in the spleen, that is, spleen is a natural humidity regulator in the body. When the spleen function occurs, such as dizziness and chest tightness (this is the wet resistance upper coke); Severe (this is wet stopping the middle coke); unfavorable urination, not shaped or sticky stools (this is wet injection); limb swelling, joint pain, etc. (this is wet resistance meridians).

How to judge whether you have "internal wet"

The above is the category of "internal wetness". We often recommend some simple methods to determine whether there is "internal wetness" in the body.

When you look at it first: If you feel particularly tired every morning when you get up in the morning, dizziness, you can't afford the spirit, or like wearing wet clothes, you are not refreshing, and you are too lazy to move ... then you can be sure that you have wet body in your body. It's right.

The second is to look at the toilet: After the morning is convenient, you can observe the stool. Is it sticking to the toilet and a box of water is still unclean. In the case of dampness in the body, the color of the stool is green, and the softness does not form, and it always feels unclean.

The third is to look at the wash: before brushing our teeth, we might as well draw a few seconds to look at our tongue in the mirror. "The tongue is the seedlings of the heart, and it is the spleen." The tongue can sensitively reflect our physical condition. The healthy tongue is red and moist, with a layer of tongue coating on the tongue surface, thin and quiet, moderate dry and wet, not slippery or dry. If the tongue coating is white and thick, it looks slippery and humid, it means that there is cold in the body; if the tongue coating is rough or thick, yellow and greasy, it means that there is dampness and heat in the body.

"Inner wetness" may also appear as follows: hair loves oil, face oil is shiny; sleeping saliva, large belly, wet ears, humid pussy and so on.

TCM defense "wet" pay attention to these

The first is to avoid the mouth, that is, we often say that it is cold, such as the commonly reflected in the summer, ice cream, yogurt, ice watermelon, etc., and the second is not to drink too much. In addition, it should be noted that the temperature of the air conditioner should not be too low, and the clothes should be replaced in time when the clothes are humid.

Recently, the domestic new crown pneumonia's epidemic has risen one after another. According to the research of experts in traditional Chinese medicine epidemic in various places, a considerable part of patients with heavy wet evil in the body are more likely to be infected. Our high temperature and humid climate in Chongqing is more significant. Experts have demonstrated that the recommended adult prevention also fully reflects the concept of dampness prevention and prevention, which is worth promoting.
