欠幹勁？以祛濕茶抗春困！
春天到了，煙霧繚繞的景色充滿詩意，但人總是欠缺幹勁、呵欠連連，是作病嗎？中醫理論認為這是人受到天氣潮濕的影響。濕有分外濕、內濕，外濕多與天氣有關，例如香港比較潮濕或常吹冷氣、坐草地或淋雨，都會令我們受外濕的影響。引致內濕多因為不良的飲食習慣，例如經常飲食生冷、嗜甜，或者經常都在滋陰補身，總在湯或糖水中加入花膠、雪耳等膠質重的食物，進食過量也會導致身體聚濕。所以在春天要適量祛濕，但祛濕前要分清自己是寒濕還是濕熱，因為兩種調理方法大不同！

Feel unmotivated? Combat spring fatigue with dampness dispelling tea
Spring has arrived, and the view around us has become more lively and poetic. Yet, some of us may seem to lack enthusiasm and tend to yawn regularly. Is something wrong? From Chinese Medicine perspective, dampness and humidity of the weather can affect our bodies.
There are two types of dampness – internal and external. External dampness is closely associated with the weather. For instance, Hong Kong’s humid weather, or when an individual stays in an air-conditioned environment, sits on grass, or gets wet in the rain. These are examples of how external dampness around us.
As for internal dampness, it is normally caused by unhealthy dietary habits such as eating and drinking raw, cold, and sweet food and beverages.
