How to regulate the female phlegm-damp constitution

Traditional Chinese medicine divides human physical constitution into nine types, and phlegm-dampness constitution is one of them. Damp phlegm refers to waste products caused by poor metabolism, including phlegm discharged from the respiratory system. If damp phlegm accumulates in the body for a long time, it is very easy to develop a phlegm-damp constitution. For women, it is very bad if they have a phlegm-damp constitution, because when the damp phlegm reaches the whole body along with blood and qi, it may cause obesity or fat around the waist, and greasy and oily skin, cough with phlegm, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and sticky throat. Let's discuss the treatment of women's phlegm-damp constitution below.
