What is dampness?
Dampness is a term common to locals, referring to water retention in the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, dampness is an underlying factor that can lead to several other health conditions such as cough, phlegm, joint pains, digestive problems, loss of appetite, acne, and low energy, to name just a few. It is believed that dampness is cause by both external environment, such as the weather, food and drinks, as well as internal conditions &#8211; how our organs function.&nbsp;
How to prevent dampness accumulating in the body?
The best way to avoid dampness from accumulating in the body is to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and exercise.
It may be refreshing to quench your thirst with a cold beverage during the warmer weather, but it may also be the culprit to your respiratory, digestive and joint issues. TCM doctors believe that consuming too much raw and cold food, such as sushi and iced drinks affects the way the spleen functions.
Physical activities, on the other hand, keeps the&nbsp;spleen, kidney and lungs active, keeping the qi&nbsp;in your body to circulate better, improve fluid metabolism and encourages the dampness in the body to be released. If you aren&#8217;t keen on breaking a sweat, sunbathing, saunas and hot baths are also fun, viable options.&nbsp;

Known to locals as&nbsp;leung cha (which translates to &#8220;cooling tea&#8221;), these useful cuppas are known for aiding in balancing the body&#8217;s heat, and are imbued with medicinal properties that work beyond the scope of Western medicine. Below are some top sellers that have long been lauded for their healing capabilities.&nbsp;
