I haven't even done anything,
so why do I feel tired, bloated, and heavy all day long?

After collapsing onto the sofa that day after work, I decided to take serious care of myself.
From a greasy face, a stale mouth, afternoon fatigue, a heavy body, post-meal bloating, and tight-fitting shoes—Jo no longer dismisses these as mere inconveniences of a busy life.

1. I'm only thirty-four; why do I always feel like my battery's at zero after work?

1. I'm only thirty-four; why do I feel like my battery is completely drained after work?

When I got home that day, I dropped my bag on the floor and sank into the sofa. I hadn't cooked dinner yet, and I hadn't replied to my messages, yet I didn't even want to get up to get a glass of water.

My name is Jo, and I’m thirty-four. I used to meet up with friends for dinner after work, but lately, I often just reply, "Let's do it another time; I'm exhausted today."

It’s not about how much manual labor you’ve done, but rather a heavy, listless feeling throughout your entire body. You wake up in the morning feeling groggy, and after lunch, you feel sleepy again; it feels as though you’ve already exhausted all your energy, even though the day is only halfway through.

I kept attributing these feelings to being too busy with work, until other minor issues also started to recur.

2. Oily hair, oily skin, and a sticky sensation in the mouth are just part of it.

2. Greasy hair, oily skin, and a sticky sensation in the mouth are just a part of it.

Sometimes I finish styling my hair in the morning, only to find my roots feeling greasy again by the afternoon. My face gets oily easily, and I find myself packing more and more oil-blotting sheets in my bag.

When chatting with others in close proximity, I become conscious of my breath; that feeling of uncleanliness in my mouth makes mints an essential item to carry.

Shampoo, oil-blotting paper, coffee, mints—I bought a lot of things, hoping to tackle each little nuisance one by one.

But what really bothers me is that my body feels like it's constantly in a state of "stickiness, heaviness, and lethargy." None of these things are major on their own, but together, they make every day feel like an uphill battle.

3. Post-meal bloating, unsatisfactory bowel movements, and shoes and socks feeling tight are also very familiar to me.

3. Post-meal bloating, unsatisfactory bowel movements, and tight shoes and socks are all things I am very familiar with.

After a meal, my stomach sometimes feels stuffed, and I feel the urge to loosen my waistband as soon as I sit down. My appetite isn't particularly large, yet I often feel bloated after eating.

There are also some minor troubles I'm reluctant to talk about: sticky stools that never feel fully evacuated; and by the afternoon after sitting for long periods, my shoes and socks feel tighter than in the morning, and my legs feel heavy.

I began to understand myself from the perspective of dampness and body constitution in traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to fatigue, TCM discussions on excess dampness also involve symptoms such as a heavy sensation in the head and body, facial puffiness, swollen feet, and loose stools.[1]

It turns out it's not just the three things I first thought of. However, these feelings could also have different causes; I shouldn't just diagnose them as "dampness" myself. This time, I want to take a serious look into it before planning a wellness routine that works for me.

4. Learning about Qu Shi Qing has inspired me to incorporate spleen-strengthening and dampness-expelling practices into my daily routine.

I wrote down how I felt throughout the day and also noticed that I often sit for too long and eat dinner very late. Those small troubles are no longer just a casual "I haven't been in a good state lately."

When exploring herbal conditioning options, I came across Qu Shi Qing. The brand focuses on strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness, with a formula described as an improvement upon traditional classic prescriptions.[2]

What I am looking for is a herbal health regimen that fits with my diet, sleep schedule, and daily activities. Therefore, I first look at the ingredients, and then understand the usage and precautions.

I hope this decision comes from an understanding of myself and the product, rather than rushing to place an order just because I saw another slogan.

5. Seven herbal ingredients, making this choice more specific.

5. Seven-herb blend, making this choice more specific.

Looking at the formula, Dampness-Clearing Light contains astragalus, coix seed, jujube, dried ginger, atractylodes, stephania, and reishi mushroom, a total of seven herbs.[2]

Coix seed and jujube are names I am familiar with, and I have also looked into the other ingredients one by one. Official documentation states that the formula contains no animal-derived ingredients.

In the past, I would only look for the words "dampness-clearing," but this time, I started to look carefully at what I was choosing.

Knowing the ingredients, understanding the labels, and learning when to consult a doctor first have made me feel more secure about this daily routine.

6. You won't be able to keep it up unless you don't have to boil or brew it every day.

6. You don't need to brew or steep it every day; that’s the only way you’ll be able to keep it up.

My schedule is already full, and I don't want to take on another project that is difficult to complete.

Qu Shi Qing comes in capsule form, requiring no boiling or brewing. The official recommended daily usage is one capsule, twice daily, taken with warm water after meals; please refer to the packaging for exact instructions.[2]

After understanding the precautions and confirming that it was suitable for my situation, I started taking it after meals while also establishing a routine of regular eating, resting, and getting up to move around.

Start with an arrangement that is easy to remember and achievable, so that this regimen doesn't just stop at the first day.

7. After starting the treatment, the greasiness and stickiness in the morning have reduced a bit.

During this period of taking Qu Shi Qing and adjusting my lifestyle, I continued to record my physical state in the mornings and afternoons. Gradually, I, as the character in the story, began to notice some changes in how my body felt.

When styling my hair in the morning, my roots no longer feel constantly greasy; and by the afternoon, I don't feel the need to keep using blotting paper on my face like I used to.

What made me happy first was that the feeling of "having just cleaned up, only for it to get sticky and oily again" decreased a little. The unpleasant sensation in my mouth no longer occupies my attention the way it used to.

I still maintain my daily scalp and oral hygiene routine, but when I get ready to head out, I finally don't have to spend half my time on damage control.

8. Afternoons no longer feel like a power outage; I still have the energy to do the things I love after work.

8. My afternoons no longer feel like a power outage; I still have the energy to do the things I love after work.

In the past, after finishing lunch, I often just wanted to rely on a cup of coffee to power through the rest of my work. Sitting in front of the computer, my shoulders and legs would always feel heavy.

After consistently following the herbal regimen and getting my diet, sleep, and physical activity back on track, I started to feel: I don't feel as groggy in the afternoon as I used to, and that overall sense of heaviness has lessened a bit.

When a colleague asks me a question, I can listen attentively before clearly articulating my thoughts. When friends invite me out after work, I no longer reflexively reply, "I'm too tired today."

During this period of adjusting my life, the improvement I look forward to is very practical: at the end of the day, I still have a little energy and strength left for myself.

9. My stomach feels less bloated after meals, and it's more comfortable to put on my shoes in the afternoon.

Later, I wrote in my notes: After dinner today, my waist didn't feel as bloated as before; when I sat down, I didn't need to rush to loosen my clothes.

The bowel movements feel smoother than before, and the feeling of heaviness and swelling in my legs has lessened slightly. By the afternoon, my shoes didn't feel as tight as they usually do.

After lunch, I enjoy going for a walk; after work, when I pass by shops I like, I'm in the mood to stop and browse.

The phase of taking "Qu Shi Qing" along with lifestyle adjustments has made the physical sensations I’m seeking to reclaim more concrete: a little less bloating, a little less heaviness in my legs, and a little more freedom of movement.

10. During the dinner party, I finally turned my attention back to the conversation and laughter.

Once again, I went out for a meal with friends, and I didn't worry beforehand about whether my tone might make people uncomfortable, nor did I start worrying halfway through about my stomach bloating up again.

During this period of adjusting my lifestyle, the feelings of a fuzzy mouth, afternoon lethargy, and post-meal bloating have gradually begun to fade. I continue to maintain good oral care, and I have not neglected the parts that require check-ups.

What I love most is feeling less sticky, bloated, and heavy, with more energy to enjoy life. When a friend says something funny, I can actually relax and laugh.

For the "me" in the story, taking Qu Shi Qing combined with daily adjustments isn't just about resolving a minor annoyance; it's about reclaiming that feeling of being lighter, refreshed, and at ease throughout the day.
