Rainy weather again in the UK? ☔
In Chinese medicine, damp and humid weather is associated with what we call "external Dampness". Many people notice they feel heavier, more sluggish, puffier, or simply less energetic during prolonged periods of wet weather.
There may be a modern explanation too. Higher humidity can encourage mould and dust mites, which may aggravate sensitive noses and skin. Damp conditions can also contribute to irritation between the toes and fingers.
In this video, I share 4 simple ways I personally recommend for staying comfortable during damp weather:
☔ Reduce indoor humidity
🏃 Keep your circulation moving
🫚 Try fresh ginger tea
🌽 Try corn silk tea
