Suggestions to cure dampness/phlegm

[Guest guest]

I've been a member here for a while, but haven't posted in a good year.

Sorry....

 

I'm trying to get rid of dampness/phlegm, due to a chi deficiency in my

spleen. The worst part of all of this is that I feel quite lazy

( " heavy " ) and find it difficult remembering things. This is the worst

part of it. I've tried acupuncture and herbs (expensive and long term,

not covered by insurance), and am now doing qigong/chi kung to improve

my organs so they can expell the dampness. This is quite difficult.

I'm doing the " 8 pieces of brocade for health, " if anyone has any

experience with this. I tried finding the version for healing, but

have been unsuccessful.

 

I'm eating all my vegetables and am eliminating sweets and coffee. Any

suggestions as to what to do would be great as far as improving my

organs so they become more self-sufficient. I've had this condition

for a while and am tired of it. Nothing I have done for any length of

time has really helped, and I'm discouraged. Thanks./glenn

Hi, Glenn:

 

Do you know the names of the herbs that you have

taken, or the name of the formula?

 

I've had similar problems but found that having the

correct herbs is key to reducing or eliminating damp.

 

Kind regards, Jack

Hi Glenn:

 

Eliminate dampness!

 

1. Don't think too much. Quiet that darn mind. Don't

research, don't investigate, don't tire yourself out

trying to learn. The brain and the eyes are the two

most expensive organs to run. You have dampness

because you are tured (= sp qi deficiency)

 

2. The bulk of your food should be cooked, baked,

grilled etc.

 

3. Eliminate all refined sugars and artificial

sweeteners AND anything that has a very sweet TASTE

(irrespective of whether it has a " high " sugar content

or not), such as oranges or stevia. You can make do

with mild sweetness only in your life. You'll feel

better.

 

4. Go to sleep early (about 9 or 10), and FORCE

yourself to wake up early (7 am).

 

5. Ejaculate as little as possible.

 

6. Eliminate dairy and breads.

 

7. PER-SIST

 

Those are some main points that hold true for the

vast majority of westerners with dampness issues.

Hi Jack,

I too have some of these problems but I am much better now. What herbs did you

take?

Hi, Tulu:

 

Hugo made some good suggestions, most of which I acted

on years ago.

 

Even so, I found that adopting those practices didn't

solve the problems, they just kept them from

worsening. I still needed to solve the problem.

 

As I live in China, it wasn't that difficult or

expensive to try different formulas, so I tried these:

 

Two Matured Ingredients Decoction (er chen tang)

combined with Stomach Calming Powder (ping wei san)

and Three Seed Filial Devotion Decoction (san zi yang

qin tang).

 

These worked well, but recently my massage therapist

has found a deeply sore spot on my upper thigh, so

I've been taking a formula to address Liver - Kidney

Yin vacuity, and that has been working well.

 

It's important to know what type of damp - phlegm

issues you have in terms of whether damp phlegm more

directly affects the Spleen or Lung.

 

Kind regards, Jack

Where is the spot located?

 

I have one on the upper thigh, partly on the inside (medial) thigh and

parrtly on the front, about 3 inches down from where the leg joins the

trunk of the body.

 

I don't have to massage it to tell it's sore. Sometimes when I'm tired

it hurts to cross my legs.

[Guest guest]

Victoria:

 

On the hip / upper buttock area. The therapist has

been working with that area for two months, and each

week the area feels slightly less sore.

 

My therapist will be taking a long break for Chinese

New Year, so I wanted to find an herbal means of

dealing with the problem in her absence. There seems

to be much improvement.

 

Kind regards, Jack
