Bite-Size Chinese Medicine

Quick notes mostly about fitting old-world wisdom into a modern American life.

Dampness makes everything worse

Muscle and joint pain, headaches, fatigue, digestion, depression and anxiety, asthma, allergies, and a whole lot more.

Everything gets worse and more difficult when there’s dampness in the environment - as after a rainy period or during an early spring thaw.

The dampness seeps into the muscles. If it’s a cold dampness, it sinks down to the bones - all the worse.

Dampness is heavy, sticky, stubborn. It blocks the flow of Qi.

Everything relies on the flow of Qi.
