Damp Heat in the Lower Burner  

If there is too much fluid in your body tissues, fungal and other pathogins will flourish, and will be difficult to remove.  We call this condition Internal Dampness

Curing this condition requires eliminating or reducing   Internal Dampness

Common causes of excessive damp include:

Poor digestion Allows excess moisture to remain in the body.
Poor diet.  Excessive consumption of cold foods, raw foods, and dairy products produce damp internal conditions.
Insufficient fire (Internal cold ).  Fire dissipates water.  Without enough metabolic fire to steam off water, damp can accumulate.
