In daily life, many people have a phlegm-damp constitution. How much do you know about this condition? What are the symptoms of phlegm-damp constitution? I believe everyone is eager to learn more, so let’s take a closer look at these aspects, hoping to be of help to everyone.
What are the manifestations of phlegm-damp constitution, and how to self-check?
1. Regularly check your tongue. If the tongue coating is relatively white and there are teeth marks on both sides of the tongue, it indicates that there is a problem in the body, and timely examination and proper treatment are needed.
2. If you often dislike drinking water, it indicates that there is a problem in the body. Also, frequently check the color of your lips; if they are pale, timely treatment is necessary.
3. If the body is generally in an obese state, with a soft and greasy abdomen that leaves a dent when pressed, and if the facial skin is oily or the complexion is dark yellow, with puffy eyelids and frequent drowsiness, these all indicate that there is a problem in the body.
4. Observe your bowel movements. If you have frequent, loose stools and often wake up at night to urinate, averaging 3-4 times a day, this also indicates a phlegm-damp constitution.
5. If you often feel drowsy, have cold hands and feet, and produce a lot of phlegm, along with gastrointestinal discomfort or joint pain, these phenomena require vigilance.
6. If you frequently experience emotional agitation, irritability, forgetfulness, and a tendency to overeat and be inactive, along with prolonged drowsiness, these phenomena may indicate a problem in the body, and you should check promptly.
7. When phlegm-damp constitution occurs, it can easily lead to complications such as bleeding, stroke, coronary heart disease, and joint pain, often accompanied by tinnitus.
