Hello everyone, I am Dr. Li! Moisture has the characteristics of being heavy, sticky, and tends to descend, and it can flow throughout the body, damaging various organs. Therefore, we have a saying called "Moisture causes all kinds of diseases in the body", which is the reason. Today, we will talk about how Zhang Zhongjing, the medical sage, solves the different situations of dampness in the spleen, stomach, lungs, kidneys, and joints.

The first type is dampness in the spleen.

The characteristic of the spleen is to prefer dryness to dampness, so when there is moisture in the body, the first thing to do is to invade the spleen, affecting its ability to transport food and water. As a result, the moisture will become more and more severe. This type of person has weak and heavy limbs, chest tightness and shortness of breath, poor appetite, and loose and unformed stools,You can refer to Zhang Zhongjing's Baizhu Fuling Houpu Tang,It can strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, promote water infiltration, and is suitable for people with dampness trapped in the spleen.

The second type is dampness in the stomach.

When dampness stops in the intestines and stomach, we may experience bitter and bad breath, bloating and stomach pain, fear of cold in the chest and abdomen, indigestion of food, rumbling of the stomach, and sticky stools. This is often due to spleen and stomach deficiency and cold,You can refer to Zhang Zhongjing's Li Zhong Tang,It has a good effect on strengthening the spleen and stomach, warming and dispersing cold, and has a good effect on this damp evil in the stomach.

The third type is dampness in the lungs.

The lungs have a hundred meridians, so dampness can easily affect the lungs. This type of person may experience coughing, phlegm accumulation, chest tightness, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Common clinical diseases include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, acute and chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, allergic rhinitis, and so on. As long as the syndrome differentiation belongs to the type of dampness obstructing the lungs,You can try Zhang Zhongjing's Little Green Dragon Soup.

The fourth type is dampness in the kidneys.

Dampness is a yin evil that can easily damage yang qi, especially kidney yang. This type of person may experience insufficient kidney yang, inability to evaporate and vaporize water, frequent urination, incomplete urination, frequent nocturia, and some may also experience systemic edema and bloating of the chest and abdomen,You can refer to Zhang Zhongjing's Wuling Powder,It has a good effect of warming yang and promoting diuresis.

Finally, wet in the joints.

When dampness stays in the meridians and joints of the limbs, it can cause numbness, soreness, and pain in the limbs, as well as swelling and pain in the joints that cannot be bent or extended. Want to clear the dampness from the joints,You can refer to licorice and aconite soup,Zhang Zhongjing only used three herbs, namely, walking on the outside and inside, warming yang and unblocking collaterals, dispelling dampness and relieving pain, which have a good effect on the dampness hidden in the joints.
