In Singapore’s hot and humid climate, many people experience health issues related to “dampness” in the body, a common concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Dampness can manifest as heaviness, fatigue, bloating, phlegm, water retention, or sluggish digestion. Left untreated, it may weaken the spleen and affect the body’s ability to transform and transport fluids, leading to chronic health problems.
At Regis Wellness TCM Clinic, we provide TCM dampness treatments that target both the symptoms and the root cause. Using herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, and lifestyle & dietary guidance, our experienced TCMPB-registered physicians help patients clear dampness, strengthen the spleen, and restore vitality.
What is Dampness in TCM?
In TCM theory, dampness is a pathogenic factor caused by external and internal influences.
- External Dampness often comes from living in a humid environment, overexposure to air-conditioning, or getting caught in the rain.
- Internal Dampness is commonly linked to poor digestion, excessive intake of oily, sweet, or cold foods, or a weakened spleen function.
When dampness accumulates, it obstructs the flow of Qi and blood, causing heaviness, swelling, and sluggishness in the body.
Common Symptoms of Dampness
You may be experiencing dampness if you have:
- Persistent fatigue or heaviness in the body
- Bloating, poor appetite, or sluggish digestion
- Loose stools or diarrhoea
- Water retention or swelling in the legs and joints
- Excessive phlegm, sinus congestion, or post-nasal drip
- A coated, greasy tongue and a heavy sensation in the head
- Difficulty concentrating or “brain fog”
TCM Treatments for Dampness
1. Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine are customised to expel dampness, strengthen the spleen, and improve digestion.
2. Acupuncture
TCM Acupuncture stimulates acupoints to regulate the spleen and stomach, improve fluid metabolism, and promote the elimination of dampness from the body.
3. Cupping & Gua Sha
TCM cupping and gua sha therapies help improve circulation, relieve heaviness, and release damp stagnation, especially for patients with body aches and sluggishness.
4. Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a gentle warming therapy helps to strengthen Yang energy, supporting the spleen and reducing dampness-related fatigue and digestive issues.
5. Dietary & Lifestyle Guidance
Our TCM physicians also provide personalised advice on food and lifestyle choices to prevent dampness buildup. Avoiding cold, oily, and sweet foods, and incorporating warming, spleen-strengthening foods can support long-term recovery.

Dampness Concerns in Singapore
Due to Singapore’s humid weather and widespread use of air-conditioning, dampness-related health issues are particularly common. Many patients experience bloating, phlegm, fatigue, or recurring sinus problems without realising these may be linked to dampness.
High-stress lifestyles and modern diets rich in fried foods, sugary drinks, and cold beverages can further weaken the spleen, making Singaporeans more prone to internal dampness. TCM provides a natural way to restore balance and support long-term wellness.
