Hello everyone, I'm Tachibana! Now it is the "poisonous May" of the lunar calendar, and it is the rainy season, and there is more rainy weather in the southern region, which is easy to make "moisture" entangled, and the whole person is uncomfortable, simply put: can't wake up, can't move, can't pull, can't eat. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of nurture, and the spleen is the main transport, transporting water and dampness. Excessive dampness in the body will lead to the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, so that the dampness cannot be discharged, so that it will remain in the body and form dampness.
Recently, these small problems in the body may be caused by the dampness of the spleen and stomach, so we must get rid of the dampness in the body, otherwise no matter how many supplements we eat, it will not help. As the old saying goes: a thousand cold is easy to get rid of, but a wet one is hard to go! Dampness is also known as the "evil of all evils", but don't worry, dampness also has a "nemesis", it can not only strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach, but also help you easily sweep away the dampness, so that you can spend the summer comfortably. This amazing ingredient is just that – ginger!
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, ginger has the effects of dissipating cold in warmth, relieving surface sweating, strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach. It can promote blood circulation, speed up metabolism, and help the body remove excess water and toxins, thereby effectively reducing the discomfort caused by moisture. For middle-aged and elderly people, due to the gradual decline of physical functions, they are more susceptible to the invasion of moisture. Consuming ginger twice a week can not only improve the problem of moisture, but also strengthen the body's immunity, improve resistance, and make you healthier and more comfortable in the summer.
Next, I will introduce you to the way to eat ginger with other foods, which can not only effectively dispel dampness, but also strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach, nourish the lungs and blood, and improve immunity.
