In plain terms: your digestion looks a little sluggish, and you may feel "puffy" or "heavy" this week. TCM calls this state "damp." These foods gently support digestion and help shed excess fluid.
Why "clear damp" — the reasoning
You logged your period — cool-natured picks (Job's tears, adzuki) eased back; warm/neutral favored.
Today's picks (3 of 5)
Poria · fú líng
sweet · neutral · spleen / heart / kidney
Chinese yam · shān yào
sweet · neutral · spleen / lung / kidney
Tangerine peel · chén pí
pungent-bitter · warm · spleen / lung
Food matched to today's body
Not generic meal plans. Each pick is reasoned from your constitution, today's signals, and classical TCM food principles.
Where you are now
You're in your premenstrual phase. Readings compare to your usual at this phase — not a flat average.
Damp · this cycle vs typical
Cyclical pattern (2 cycles)
Your damp rises about a week before your period — cyclical, not random.
Eat ahead for this phase
Premenstrual tends toward damp + tension. Leaning in now softens the rise — before it shows up.
✓ Matches today's greasy coating — reinforcing
Based on cycle-phase regulation (tiáo zhōu fǎ) — a classical women's-health method.
Aligned with your cycle phase
Premenstrual, follicular, luteal — your body wants different things at each phase. GingerBee shifts ahead with you.
