What to do about humidity and heat in the lower body? Today, I will share with you 6 Chinese patent medicines that can help you “sweep away” damp-heat and make you feel refreshed.
What is damp-heat in the lower body? Besides humidity in the groin area, what other symptoms might we experience?
First, the lower body refers to the lower part of our body, including everything from our lower abdomen down, which encompasses organs such as the kidneys, bladder, and large intestine.
Therefore, when we experience symptoms such as anal itching, urinary tract infections, loose and red stools, rashes in the lower body, and excessive sweating in the groin area, it may be related to damp-heat in the lower body.
So how do we clear this damp-heat? Today, Dr. Liu will help you analyze the pattern to determine the cause of the damp-heat, which organ is affected, and teach you the correct methods for adjustment.
The first is damp-heat descending, which means that the damp-heat qi in our body is moving downwards and settling in our lower body. What symptoms might we experience at this time?
Some people may experience cloudy urine, and during urination, there may be a stinging sensation in the urethra, along with a feeling of heaviness in the body, a lack of desire to move, and a tendency to feel thirsty and dry. The complexion may appear red, the tongue coating may be yellow and thick, and the tongue itself may be very red. At this time, we can consider using Ba Zheng San (Eight Correcting Powder) to clear the damp-heat in the lower body.
The second is liver channel damp-heat. Some may wonder, since the liver is part of the middle jiao, how can it lead to damp-heat in the lower body? This is because the liver channel runs through the lower part of our body, especially around the groin and upper thigh area.
So when you notice that your groin area is always sweaty and damp, and sometimes your white clothing is stained yellow, along with a tendency to be irritable and easily angered, you may also experience dizziness and pain in the sides of your ribs, a bitter taste in the mouth, a red tongue, and a yellow tongue coating. At this time, it may be liver channel damp-heat, and we can consider using Long Dan Cao Pian (Gentian Liver-Draining Pills) to clear the damp-heat in the lower body.
The third is large intestine damp-heat. If you often feel anal itching and want to find a private place to scratch, and if your bowel movements are not smooth due to sticky stools, requiring great effort to defecate, with abdominal pain and bloating, and a burning sensation in the anus, sometimes even with anal bleeding, it may be large intestine damp-heat. We can consider using Ge Gen Qin Lian Pian (Pueraria and Scutellaria Tablets) to clear the damp-heat from the large intestine.
The fourth is kidney yin deficiency leading to internal heat. Traditional Chinese medicine often states that yin deficiency leads to heat. Kidney yin deficiency can easily lead to internal heat, and since the kidneys and bladder are interrelated, located in the lower body, kidney yin deficiency can also present as damp-heat in the lower body.
If you often have yellow and short urine, excessive sweating in the groin area, and sometimes feel a burning sensation during urination, along with lower back pain, leg weakness, fatigue, insomnia, and night sweats, with red cheekbones, it may be kidney yin deficiency leading to damp-heat in the lower body. We can consider using Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan (Anemarrhena and Rehmannia Pills) to nourish yin, tonify the kidneys, and clear internal heat.
The fifth is spleen deficiency with excessive dampness leading to descending damp-heat. If our spleen and stomach are weak and cannot transport excess moisture out of the body, this moisture can easily combine with the heat in the lower body, forming damp-heat.
What symptoms might such a person experience? They may have damp-heat in the lower body, but after taking damp-heat clearing medicines, the effects are not very noticeable, and their appetite may decrease, leading to abdominal bloating, stomach pain, and difficulty eating, with loose stools and a tendency to diarrhea. At this time, we need to clear the damp-heat while also strengthening the spleen and transforming dampness. We can consider using Er Miao Wan (Two Marvels Pills) to clear damp-heat, along with Xiang Sha Liu Jun Wan (Aromatic Sand Six Gentlemen Pills) to strengthen the spleen and transform dampness.
These are the common causes of damp-heat in the lower body shared by Dr. Liu. See which one you belong to. If you cannot determine it yourself, it is not advisable to use medication casually to avoid harming your body.
