Damp-Heat Constitution
Warmth combined with heaviness or oiliness.
What this pattern means
Damp-heat combines traditional signs of warmth with heaviness, stickiness or oiliness. People may notice oily skin, inflamed spots, a bitter taste or darker urine. Painful, persistent or rapidly changing symptoms require ordinary medical assessment rather than constitution-based self-treatment.
