How do you get rid of dampness in TCM?
Acupuncture can help us eliminate the dampness in the body by helping promote circulation as well as supporting the body's digestion center (spleen and stomach in Chinese medicine). The heat from moxibustion can also help to dry dampness.
What causes dampness in TCM?
Dampness arises from the body being affected in several ways. It can be due to either a problem arising from the inability of the digestive system to transport fluids, or from the body being overwhelmed by external damp from the environment (damp weather, damp living conditions, damp-producing foods).
What does dampness mean in TCM?
Dampness is an imbalance arising from having too much moisture/water trapped in the body. You can see it as a little bit like water retention but not entirely and not exactly. It is a condition that you get when your body didn't have the optimal condition to remove the excessive water in the body.
What is wind damp in TCM?
Damp Wind has effects similar to those of the common cold, with sore limbs, listlessness, nausea, anorexia, and diarrhea and can cause diseases like arthritis. An Endogenous Wind attacks the liver and causes dizziness, spasms, convulsions and even coma.
What emotion is connected to the spleen?
Worry is the emotion of the spleen/stomach/pancreas network, organs associated with the earth element. Too much pensiveness, worrying and insecurity can weaken our ability to digest – simply knot the energy. When we are worried to a state of anxiety, we find it hard to digest and accept a situation or life event.
How do you drain dampness from your body?
In addition, sunbathing and exercising are great ways to get rid of dampness because sweating can enhance spleen, kidney and lung function as well as provide qi for the body. This gives the organs more energy to work, resulting in better fluid metabolism.
How long does it take to clear dampness?
"It depends on how severe your symptoms are. But people with mild dampness and dryness will notice a benefit within 4 weeks, while people with more severe symptoms may need 6 months," Dr. Blakeway says.
What causes phlegm in TCM?
“Phlegm” is mainly produced by a challenged digestive system (Spleen in TCM). It can either be because the Spleen is inherently weak or because we bombard it with too many heavy dietary factors; dairy, wheat, sugar, overconsumption of cold/raw food, and deep fried/greasy food being the largest culprits.
