When dampness first attacks the body, the patient may feel dizzy and heavy, as if wrapped in a piece of cloth; the body may feel heavy, the limbs may feel heavy, and the whole body may feel uncomfortable, as if a heavy object is attached to the body. In addition, there will be symptoms of dampness such as fever, slight fear of cold and wind, and clear runny nose. Removing dampness and strengthening the spleen are the most popular topics for women and middle-aged and elderly people in winter.

2. Joints. If the joints have been eroded in the body, certain symptoms will appear in the joints, some qi and blood will not flow smoothly, and there will be soreness and heaviness in the joints of the limbs, and difficulty in flexing and extending the joints.

3. Digestive effect. Dampness disturbs the spleen and affects its normal function of transporting and transforming food, which can cause symptoms such as chest tightness, abdominal distension, poor appetite, decreased food intake, and unformed food. When "internal dampness" occurs due to poor spleen function, there are often symptoms of qi deficiency and dampness, such as a tasteless and sticky mouth, thirst without wanting to drink water, fatigue and listlessness.

4. Urine, vaginal discharge and stool will also appear to be loose. Women and middle-aged and elderly people should pay special attention to this issue! Another characteristic of dampness is that it tends to "tend downward", easily injuring the area below the waist. Chinese medicine can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness. Characteristics such as turbid urine, loose stools, excessive vaginal discharge in women, and vaginal itching are relatively classic.

5. Tongue coating. A thick and greasy tongue coating is a classic manifestation of dampness, which often manifests itself before the body shows obvious pathological conditions. The most accurate way to look at the tongue coating is in the early morning when you just wake up.

6. The stool is unformed. If you have loose stools for a long time, it must be that there is moisture eroding your body. After defecation, there is always something stuck on the toilet that is difficult to flush down. This is also a manifestation of dampness because dampness has the characteristics of stickiness. For people with dampness in their bodies, one piece of paper is not enough after defecation, and they need to use more pieces.
