What is Dampness in TCM

In TCM, Dampness is a condition where the body holds too much moisture, like a swamp. It makes you feel heavy, sluggish, and bloated. Dampness can come from eating too many cold, greasy, or sweet foods, or living in a humid environment. It can affect digestion, cause skin issues, and create a feeling of tiredness or brain fog.

Common Signs of Dampness:

• Bloating and poor digestion
• Sticky or loose stools
• Brain fog and difficulty concentrating

• Excess mucus or phlegm

How to Reduce Dampness:
