Is moisture's nemesis licorice?

Licorice is sweet and

mild in taste, and

returns to the heart, lung and spleen meridians. It can replenish qi, moisten the lungs and relieve cough, clear away heat and detoxify. It is often used for spleen deficiency fatigue, heart palpitations, drug and food poisoning, etc., to improve spleen function, so that it can transport the body's water and help the body expel excess moisture.

Patients with excessive moisture can take acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping and other traditional Chinese medicine therapy methods to promote the body moisture discharge, thus improving discomfort.
