Is there a relationship between dampness and stagnation?” CheckCheckCin: In Cantonese, the two words that represent dampness and stagnation are ‘sap zai’, which also means nuisance or hassle. From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, dampness and stagnation are indeed related. The body relies on the spleen and stomach to circulate fluid and dampness, so when these organs fail to function optimally, stagnation can occur. Symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, appetite loss, and abdominal gassiness would then emerge. Individual with these symptoms should eat more meals but in a smaller quantity, and avoid consuming heavily seasoned, fried, oily, and sticky foods, as well as those with high satiety. Alternatively, you can try drinking this tea to improve your appetite and soothe the circulation of the qi. Calamansi and dried citrus peel tea Effects: promotes qi and stimulates appetite.
