Beat the heat, drain the damp: why Chinese youth are turning to TCM
Chinese youth are increasingly adopting traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practices like 'qushi' (eliminating dampness) to combat summer fatigue, oily skin, and low energy. The concept of 'dampness,' rooted in the Huangdi Neijing, a foundational TCM text, has evolved into a viral wellness trend involving remedies such as cupping and herbal foot treatments.
