Increased vaginal discharge in spring
As spring awakens and all things come to life, it's a time for Yang energy to flourish. The weather is humid, and if the vital essence (Jing Qi) hidden within the body is insufficient, it can easily lead to dampness becoming trapped inside. Women with excessive dampness are prone to abnormal vaginal discharge, most commonly an increase in discharge, or even cloudy discharge.
Vaginal discharge is a normal vaginal secretion, usually colorless, odorless, and resembling egg white. During ovulation, the amount of discharge will be relatively higher.
The humid climate in spring can easily lead to dampness accumulating in the body. If those with spleen or kidney deficiency are unable to expel excess water and dampness from the body, it can easily lead to phlegm-dampness, where moisture descends, causing an increase in vaginal discharge. Excessive vaginal discharge is often caused by excessive dampness in the body.
To alleviate excessive vaginal discharge, it is recommended to refer to last week's article. First, drink coix seed and adzuki bean tea or dried tangerine peel and Poria tea based on your body constitution to strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness. Then, use 10g of white peony root, 5g of licorice root, and 5g of Poria cocos. Wash the ingredients and steep them in hot water for 20 minutes before drinking. This tea can help dispel dampness and astringe excessive vaginal discharge.
White peony root is bitter and sour in taste, slightly cold in nature, and enters the liver and spleen meridians. It nourishes blood, regulates menstruation, calms the liver, relieves pain, and astringes Yin to stop sweating.
Licorice root is sweet in taste, neutral in nature, and enters the heart, lung, spleen, and stomach meridians. It tonifies the spleen and boosts Qi, clears heat and detoxifies, and expels phlegm and stops coughing.
Poria cocos is sweet in taste, neutral in nature, and enters the heart and spleen meridians. It strengthens the spleen and calms the mind, and tonifies the spleen and benefits the heart.
Those with excessive vaginal discharge should reduce their intake of sweet and cold foods to avoid the accumulation of dampness. They should also avoid wearing tight, non-breathable pants to reduce the chance of bacterial growth.
