How to get rid of excessive moisture?

With the current living standard, people like to drink cold water, iced drinks, and eat meat, which causes the body to accumulate more and more moisture. If the moisture in the body continues for a long time and cannot be discharged, it will be harmful to the body and cause certain diseases. Many people also know that too much moisture is bad for the body, and they have been trying to discharge the moisture, but the wrong methods will only cause the moisture to accumulate more and more. So, how can the excessive moisture be discharged?

It is rainy in this season and the humidity in the air is high. Moisture can easily enter the body, causing dampness in the body and causing some diseases. Therefore, special attention should be paid to preventing moisture from entering the body in spring. In traditional Chinese medicine, dampness seems to be the "root of all evil." Among the "six evil spirits" that cause disease, wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire, dampness has the greatest range of damage.
