Moisture is divided into internal dampness and external dampness, as well as damp cold and damp heat

The so-called dampness is a theoretical concept in Chinese medicine. From the perspective of pathogenesis, we can divide moisture into external dampness and internal dampness; In addition, dampness can also be combined with other evil qi to form cold dampness and hot dampness. There is an essential difference between them.

1. The difference between external dampness and internal dampness The so-called external dampness is caused by people living in a relatively humid environment for a long time, or often being exposed to rain. In addition to this, if a person is constantly engaged in some work that comes into contact with water, it can also cause the human body to produce symptoms of external dampness. It is closely related to the external environment in which people live.

Internal dampness is caused by the abnormal transport of water and liquid in the human body. If a person is often sedentary at work, excessive mental work, and irregular diet and rest, it will cause internal dampness. It is related to some lifestyle habits and eating habits of the human body.

2. The difference between cold and dampness and heat and dampness When there is dampness in the human body, and at the same time, it encounters the invasion of cold evil, at this time, the dampness will evolve into cold and dampness. Cold and dampness are generally the following symptoms. The face of the person is blue, dark, has bad breath, cold sweat, and often has symptoms of abdominal pain, swollen ankles, etc.

And when there is moisture in the human body, and at the same time the human body suffers from heat, then the moisture will become hot and damp. This phenomenon is very common in the summer in the south. When the human body is hot and damp, it will make people feel very hot and out of breath.

At the same time, the generation of dampness and heat may also be related to the living environment and eating habits of people. Generally speaking, people who are often in a hot and humid environment and have a spicy diet are prone to damp heat.

3. How to judge dampnessIf you want to see if you have dampness in your body, you can judge from the following perspectives:

1) From the perspective of a person's state of getting up, if a person still feels very sleepy when it is time to get up, he can't get up, and his calves are sore and heavy.

2) From the perspective of tongue coating, if the tongue coating is thin and white, not dry or wet, not slippery or dry, then the body has no moisture; If the tongue coating is too white and too thick, and it looks very moist and slippery, it means that there is cold and dampness in the human body.

Damp heat is the damp heat that occurs when the damp evil is depressed for a long time, or the damp evil meets the heat evil, and the symptoms include redness, swelling, and pain in the joints of the limbs. Cold and dampness are caused by the interweaving of dampness and cold, which is manifested by swollen joints of the limbs, sticky mouth, loose stools, fear of cold and warmth in the stomach, and thin and white tongue.

Internal dampness is caused by eating raw and cold food, which causes excessive moisture in the body, while external dampness is caused by a cold and damp environment. People with damp cold tend to feel cold and people with damp heat feel irritable, people with damp cold often have gastrointestinal disorders, and people with damp heat have poor bowel movements.

Internal dampness refers to the imbalance of the spleen and stomach, which causes excessive moisture to be produced within the human body. External dampness refers to the invasion of external moisture into the human body. The difference between damp cold and damp heat is mainly the perception of temperature, the former is afraid of cold, and the latter is afraid of heat.

There are two ways of dampness in the human body, which is what Chinese medicine saysInside and outside

What is External Wetness?

External humidity is usually caused by a humid climateTraditional Chinese medicine believes that qi can be induced by each other, and after being in a humid environment for a long time, the body feels this sticky qi, and after a long time, the qi in the body also becomes sluggish, and gradually forms dampness.

What is internal dampness?

Internal dampness is endogenous water in the human body, mainly related to the spleen。Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the metabolism of water and fluid in the human body is mainly carried out by the spleen, and if there is a problem with the spleen, the water in the body cannot be transported normally, and the parts where the water is retained for a long time will have symptoms.

Internal dampness is mostly caused by impaired spleen function due to improper diet, lack of exercise, etc

Symptoms such as abdominal distension and abdominal pain, chest tightness, loss of appetite, unformed stools, nausea and vomiting, edema and lack of urine may occur.
