Do you ever feel constantly tired and weak, have a dry and bitter mouth, or even experience symptoms like eczema and itchy skin, feeling restless and sleepy all the time? This may be related to excessive dampness in your body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that factors such as humid climates and meat consumption are sources of dampness, and excessive dampness can easily damage Yang energy. So, how do you know if you have dampness in your body?

　　How to detect excess moisture in the body? Pay attention to four aspects.

　　1. Living environment:

　　Some people live in humid environments, which makes them more prone to developing a constitution with excessive dampness. Dampness is easy to penetrate, so if the humidity in your living environment is high, it is very easy for it to enter the body, causing dampness to accumulate in the body.

　　2. Skin eczema:

　　If you have persistent small bumps on your skin that don't improve and are itchy, it's likely eczema caused by dampness. While regular ointments might relieve the itching, they don't address the root cause and require careful treatment.

　　3. Overweight:

　　Many people with excessive dampness in their bodies also experience obesity, and some may even suffer from constipation, sometimes going three days without a bowel movement. All of these factors can lead to weight gain. Once the dampness is removed and the intestines become healthy, the weight will gradually reach a normal level.

　　4. Observe the body

　　Besides the situations mentioned above, we can also judge by the state of our morning stool. If your stool is often unformed and sticks to the toilet, it is closely related to dampness. In addition, we can also judge by looking at the tongue coating while brushing our teeth. If there is severe damp heat in the body, the tongue coating will appear thick and yellow.

　　Excessive dampness is a problem that most modern people find difficult to avoid. When the body is affected by natural laws or unhealthy lifestyle habits, it can lead to various discomforts. Some people suffer from deficiency and cold, others from heat, and still others from excessive dampness. Different constitutions manifest in different ways. The four main aspects mentioned above are all related to dampness invading the body; pay attention to them.
