There is a saying in Chinese medicine that “strange diseases are caused by phlegm”. Note that the “phlegm” mentioned here is not the “phlegm” in the general concept, but refers to the abnormal accumulation of body fluids, which is a pathological product; “damp” refers to the improper operation of the digestive system, which affects the flow of water in the body. Out of control, body fluids stop gathering and form internal dampness.
Simply put, phlegm-damp is the accumulation of too much water in the body that cannot be metabolized normally. Modern people have bad living habits, like drinking cold beer, blowing air-conditioning fans, staying up late, taking a shower and going to bed very late.
