7 ways to help you look good

　　Women who are cold, especially in autumn and winter, often experience excessive moisture. The most obvious manifestation of excessive moisture in women is acne on their faces. Heavy moisture can cause a woman's endocrine imbalance, causing her skin to no longer be fair. At the same time, if women with dampness are not treated in time, they will develop a series of gynecological diseases, such as dysmenorrhea and vaginitis.

　　So how can we tell whether there is moisture in our body? Experts remind us that we can judge whether there is moisture in our body based on the feeling after getting up, the color of tongue coating, stool and other conditions. If you don't stay up late but still feel tired and sleepy after getting up every morning, it may be a sign that you have moisture in your body. In addition, sticky and unclean stools are also related to moisture in the body. Furthermore, a light red tongue, sticky, rough or yellow tongue coating also indicates that there is dampness in the body.

　　How to get rid of moisture? 7 tips to stop acne

　　1. Soak your feet with mugwort leaves to remove dampness

　　Foot soaking with mugwort leaves has the effect of repelling cold. Mugwort is an extremely yang medicine. Soaking feet with moxa leaf water can effectively dispel deficiency fire and cold fire, and can treat oral ulcers, sore throat, periodontitis, gingivitis, otitis media and other diseases. For patients with severe cold and dampness, it is okay to soak their feet in moxa leaf water once a week, but they must stop eating cold food while soaking their feet in moxa leaf water.

　　In summer, using moxa to soak your feet can effectively prevent or treat colds, fevers and other symptoms caused by long-term air conditioning. However, experts remind that mugwort leaves are bitter substances and generally have a cooling effect. They can reduce fire, especially liver fire. "People who are physically weak and have insufficient Qi and blood are recommended to drink a bowl of red date and longan soup before soaking their feet to replenish the energy that may be lost in the body." Soaking your feet in mugwort leaves is good for your health, but you shouldn’t soak your feet often. It is understood that foot soaking with mugwort leaves can lead down the deficiency fire and cold fire, which will cause Qi and blood deficiency in the head and face, resulting in insufficient blood supply. Instead, it will cause dizziness, headaches, and emotional changes.

　　2. Massage three acupoints to remove dampness

　　The acupuncture points located in the three depressions of the body are the dehumidification outlets of the human body.

　　The Weizhong point in the knee socket is located at the center point of the leg socket. There is an acupoint here called Weizhong point, which runs along the bladder meridian. The bladder meridian is the largest detoxification and dehumidification channel in the human body, and Weizhong point is the sewage outlet on this channel. If it is not smooth and the moisture cannot be discharged, it may lead to arthritis, low back pain and other diseases. Therefore, you can usually massage this acupoint, stirring or tapping it no less than 36 times each time.

　　The Quchi point of the cubital fossa is located at the lateral end of the cubital crease. When the elbow is bent, at the midpoint of the line connecting the Chize point and the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, the damp and turbid air from the large intestine meridian gathers here. It is commonly used in modern times to treat frozen shoulder, hypertension, influenza, tonsillitis, goiter, acute gastroenteritis, pharyngitis, etc. You can tap continuously on the elbow fossa for about 5 minutes until you feel soreness and swelling.

　　The Jiquan point in the armpit is located at the top of the armpit, where the axillary artery pulses. It is an important acupuncture point on the heart meridian. It can remove fire poison from the heart. It should be massaged or stirred frequently, usually no less than 36 times, at least twice a day, to clear the meridians. It can also regulate sleep and relieve palpitations and chest tightness.

　　3. Get enough sleep

　　From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, not getting enough sleep is a symptom of spleen deficiency. A good night's sleep can make our body lighter. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sleep and wakefulness are the result of the alternation of yin and yang. The Ziwu hour is the time when yin and yang alternate, and it is also the time when the human body's meridian Qi "unifies yin" and "unifies yang". At this time, yin energy is at its strongest and yang energy is weak, which is when the liver meridian circulates; sleeping at midnight can best nourish yin, and the sleep effect is also the best. Noon hour refers to 11:00-1:00 am, when Yang Qi is at its strongest and Yin Qi is weak. This is the time when Qi and blood flow into the heart meridian; sleeping at noon is beneficial to the human body in nourishing Yang. Therefore, although it is recommended to go to bed late and get up early, the sleeping time at night should not exceed 23:00, and it is advisable to take a "nap" between 11:00 and 1:00 noon. Taking a good nap at noon will help the yin and yang flow smoothly.

　　4. Avoid living in humid places

　　If you live in a low-lying and humid place with high temperatures, high humidity, and lack of ventilation in the summer, your body will accumulate a lot of hot and humid air if this continues for a long time. To prevent heat and humidity, the living environment must be ventilated and dry. Doors and windows should not be closed in winter. Windows should be opened every day for ventilation.

　　5. Exercise more to remove dampness

　　Be more active at ordinary times. Even if you are not currently exercising, you should do more housework or other physical activities to create opportunities for your body to move as much as possible. Sweating allows water trapped in the body to be expelled from the body. It is necessary to twist and move every day and develop the habit of sweating. Such as running, playing ball, riding a bicycle, or even simple stretching exercises, etc., can eliminate dampness.

　　6. Avoid blowing the air conditioner right after exercise

　　In summer, during exercise, your body will inevitably heat up and sweat. Some people like to run to the air conditioner to cool down immediately after exercising. This approach is often prone to moisture. Because during exercise, the pores of the human body will open and dissipate heat. When suddenly exposed to cold, the pores will shrink, and the heat and sweat cannot be emitted, and remain in the body, forming moisture, which in turn causes physical discomfort.

　　7. Eat less sweets, raw and cold foods

　　Don't eat food that hurts your spleen and stomach in such a humid environment. Such as cold food, cold drinks, etc. People who like to eat sweets must also refrain from eating sweets, because "sweetness makes us wet". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that raw and cold foods or ice products will stagnate the digestion and absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract and should not be consumed in unlimited amounts. For example, lettuce salad, watermelon, Chinese cabbage, bitter melon, etc., it is best to add onions, ginger or garlic when cooking to reduce the cold nature of vegetables.

　　Traditional Chinese medicine pays great attention to balance. A healthy body must not allow excessive moisture to occur. If a woman has excessive moisture, she must adjust it back.
