Women are all puffy because of too much stuff in their bodies

Women with heavy dampness, weak limbs, laziness and listlessness, loose and inelastic skin, swollen limbs, and tooth marks on the edge of the tongue. I'm not trying to discourage you, but generally women with this condition are more likely to gain weight than others, or it would be more appropriate to describe them as puffy or edema.

Women with heavy dampness and puffiness will gain weight even if they drink water. If you want to get rid of dampness, you must strengthen your spleen. Those who have some knowledge of Chinese medicine know that the spleen is responsible for transporting and transforming water and moisture. If the spleen is not functioning properly, the water in the body cannot be transported and transformed smoothly. The water in the body cannot be metabolized normally and is retained in the body, increasing the dampness of the body. To remove dampness and strengthen the spleen, you must choose products that can dry dampness, transform dampness, and penetrate dampness. Here are three basic prescriptions:

(1) Sijunzi Decoction: An ancient prescription based on four basic Chinese medicinal herbs: ginseng (or codonopsis), atractylodes, poria, and licorice. It replenishes Qi and strengthens the spleen, and is suitable for all symptoms of spleen deficiency.

(2) Shenling Baizhu San: This prescription is based on Sijunzi Decoction with the addition of Chinese yam, lotus seeds, white hyacinth bean, coix seed, amomum villosum, and platycodon. This prescription strengthens the spleen and replenishes Qi and is a commonly used prescription for treating spleen deficiency and dampness.

(3) Red bean and coix seed tea: 10g Euryale ferox, 10g coix seed, 10g red bean, 5g purslane, 3g loblolly leaf, 3g sophora japonica seed, and 3g green tea. Put it in a casserole, add water and boil, boil over high heat for 5 minutes, then simmer over low heat for 1 hour. Brewing takes time, so if you want convenience, you can choose tea bags, one tea bag at a time, which is healthy and hygienic. Red bean and coix seed tea can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and is a very good medicinal food.
