What should you do if you have humidity in the thigh area and damp-heat in the lower jiao? Today, I will share with you 6 traditional Chinese herbal remedies to help you “sweep away” damp-heat and feel relaxed all over.
So, what is the lower jiao? Besides humidity in the thigh area, what other symptoms might we experience?
Firstly, the lower jiao refers to the lower part of our body, including everything from our lower abdomen downwards, encompassing 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 on the lower body, and excessive sweating in the thigh area, these may all be related to damp-heat in the lower jiao.
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, the affected organs, and teach you the correct methods for adjustment.
The first point is that damp-heat descends, meaning that the damp-heat qi in our body moves downwards and settles in the lower jiao. What symptoms might we experience at this time?
Some people may experience cloudy urine, and during urination, they may feel a stinging sensation in the urethra, along with a heavy feeling in the body, a lack of desire to move, and increased thirst and dryness. Their complexion may appear red, and the tongue may be yellow and thick with a red body. At this time, we can consider using Ba Zheng San (Eight Correcting Powder) to clear the damp-heat in the lower jiao.
The second point is damp-heat in the liver channel. Some may wonder how the liver, which belongs to the middle jiao, can cause damp-heat in the lower jiao. This is because the liver channel runs through the lower part of the body, especially around the groin and thigh area.
So when you notice that your thigh area is always sweaty and damp, and sometimes your white clothes are stained yellow, along with a short temper, irritability, dizziness, and pain in the sides, with a bitter taste in the mouth, a red tongue, and yellow coating, this may indicate damp-heat in the liver channel. We can consider using Long Dan Cao Pian (Gentian Liver-Draining Pills) to clear the damp-heat in the lower jiao.
The third point is damp-heat in the large intestine. If you often feel anal itching and want to scratch in a private place, and experience difficulty during bowel movements due to sticky stools, along with abdominal pain and bloating, and a burning sensation in the anus, sometimes even with anal bleeding, this may indicate damp-heat in the large intestine. We can consider using Ge Gen Qin Lian Pian (Pueraria and Scutellaria Tablets) to clear the damp-heat in the large intestine.
The fourth point 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 jiao, kidney yin deficiency can also present as damp-heat in the lower jiao.
If you often have yellow and short urine, excessive sweating in the thigh area, and feel a burning sensation during urination, along with lower back pain, fatigue, insomnia, and night sweats, with red cheekbones, this may indicate kidney yin deficiency leading to damp-heat in the lower jiao. We can consider using Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan (Anemarrhena and Rehmannia Pills) to nourish yin and tonify the kidneys while clearing internal heat.
The fifth point is spleen deficiency with excessive dampness leading to downward movement of damp-heat. If our spleen and stomach are weak and cannot transform and transport excess moisture, this moisture can easily combine with the heat in the lower jiao, forming damp-heat.
What symptoms might such a person experience? They may have damp-heat in the lower jiao, but after taking damp-heat clearing medications, the effects are not very noticeable, and they may experience decreased appetite, abdominal bloating, stomach pain, difficulty eating, loose stools, and diarrhea. At this time, we need to clear the damp-heat while also tonifying the spleen and transforming dampness. We can consider using Er Miao Wan (Two Marvels Pills) to clear damp-heat, combined with Xiang Sha Liu Jun Wan (Aromatic Sand Six Gentlemen Pills) to tonify the spleen and transform dampness.
These are the common causes of damp-heat in the lower jiao shared by Dr. Liu. See which one you belong to. If you cannot determine it yourself, it is not advisable to use medications indiscriminately to avoid harming your body.
