Our spleen governs our digestive system, helps to transform food into new Qi (energy) and blood, as well as regulates the transport of fluids in the body. Poor diet and lifestyle such as prolonged stress, overworking, and high or frequent intake of raw, cold, greasy, and spicy foods can weaken our spleen. This in turn impedes fluid distribution and removal of waste from the body, leading to the accumulation of dampness (excess moisture) in the body.

In TCM, dampness is commonly associated with edema (water retention); phlegm in the lungs; loose stools or diarrhea; stomach distension; achy joints and limbs; gout; excess weight gain; fatty deposits build-up in the arteries; eczema flare-up; susceptibility to acne; oily skin; cysts; excessive vaginal discharge; a vaginal yeast infection; sinus infections, etc.

Dampness can also combine with heat and lead to damp-heat syndrome. This can be contributed by an unhealthy diet—such as consuming excessive alcohol, deep-fried, spicy, or greasy foods—or prolonged exposure to the summer heat. Signs of damp-heat include loose stools with blood or mucus; cloudy deep yellow urine; burning sensation during urination; red tongue with thick yellow coating; nausea; heaviness of the body and limbs.
