1, the cause of sweating
Chinese medicine believes that from the time, place, smell and color of a person sweating, we can see the clues of physical abnormality.
Sweating parts indicate good health.
First, sweating on the forehead is hyperactivity of liver yang.
If the forehead often sweats a lot, Chinese medicine thinks it may be caused by hyperactivity of liver yang. I suggest you go to the hospital to check whether the thyroid hormone secretion is normal, because it is probably caused by excessive thyroid hormone secretion.
Suggestion: Try to keep a peaceful mind and be less angry at ordinary times, especially for women, who need enough sleep every day, otherwise they will be prone to yin deficiency and liver yang. Brewing wolfberry tea every day has the effect of calming the liver.
Second, sweating on the nose is lung qi deficiency.
If the nose is love sweating at ordinary times, it means that the lung qi is insufficient and needs to be recuperated and replenished. From the perspective of western medicine theory, your immunity is mostly low, so you need to improve your immunity.
Suggestion: I suggest you hit your legs with your hands or tools every day. Among them, the key point is to tap and press the left and right sides of the leg many times, because this is the part of your body where the lung meridians are distributed, and the purpose of conditioning the lung meridians can be achieved through such appropriate stimulation.
Third, sweating on the neck is an endocrine disorder.
There are few sweat glands in the neck, so few people sweat on the neck. If your neck often sweats, it may be related to your endocrine disorder.
Suggestion: It is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive hormone examination.
Fourth, sweating in the chest is spleen and stomach disharmony.
If you often sweat in your chest, Chinese medicine says it's spleen and stomach disharmony. Western medicine believes that in this case, the blood circulation in your body is mostly slow and the oxygen delivery is not smooth.
Suggestion: Don't be overly anxious at ordinary times, and don't watch horror movies, so as not to be too scared and hurt your spleen. Eat less greasy, cold food, and usually drink with astragalus and jujube in water, which can relieve symptoms.
2, abnormal sweating conditioning method
To regulate hyperhidrosis, three practical small remedies are recommended.
The first is the most common mulberry leaf, which can be used for spontaneous sweating and night sweats. It is best to pick fresh mulberry leaves in the morning, immediately put them on the tile to dry and crush them, and eat 6 ~ 10g porridge every morning for three days. Mulberry leaves can also be broken to drink porridge, boiled in water or boiled in soup.
The second kind is Lycium barbarum bark, which is the bark of the roots of Lycium barbarum plants. It can clear away heat deficiency and relieve night sweats due to yin deficiency, but it cannot be eaten directly. You can boil water to drink.
The third one is Agrimonia pilosa, which is used to stop bleeding, but now it has many other functions, such as antiperspirant and cough. Take 30 grams of Agrimonia pilosa and drink tea after boiling.
In addition, you can also take some Chinese medicines to improve abnormal sweating symptoms. Half-body sweating caused by qi-blood imbalance can be made into Chaigui decoction with Xiaochaihu and Guizhi decoction, which can soothe the liver and relieve depression, and reconcile the camp and the health. To treat climacteric hyperhidrosis, Danggui Huang Liu Decoction, namely Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Scutellariae Radix, Cortex Phellodendri, Rhizoma Coptidis and Radix Astragali, can be taken to clear away heat and invigorate qi, nourish blood and soothe the liver.
Cancer patients are prone to sweating after chemotherapy, which can be treated with Shengmai Decoction and oyster powder. Shengmaiyin is composed of ginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus and Schisandra chinensis, which is used for deficiency of both qi and yin, wherein ginseng is for invigorating qi, while Ophiopogon japonicus and Schisandra chinensis are for nourishing yin; Muli powder contains floating wheat and ephedra root, which is mainly used to stop sweating.
3. What are the symptoms of hyperhidrosis?
(1) diabetes
Diabetes is characterized by "three more and one less", in which sweating is one of the symptoms. If diabetes is complicated with autonomic neuropathy, you will sweat more, especially in the upper body. Because of the disorder of glucose metabolism, the patient's autonomic nerve function is disordered, and the excitement of sympathetic nerve increases the secretion of sweat glands, resulting in moist skin and hyperhidrosis. High blood sugar leads to an increase in metabolic rate, which is also one of the reasons for hyperhidrosis.
(2) hyperthyroidism
Generally speaking, patients with hyperthyroidism have increased metabolism and increased peripheral blood flow, which will inevitably promote body heat dissipation and cause hyperhidrosis.
(3) pheochromocytoma
The common symptom of pheochromocytoma is profuse sweating, which is paroxysmal and sometimes persistent, but facial flushing or whitening can occur at the same time during paroxysmal attack. There will also be palpitations, hand tremors, cold limbs and so on. However, the onset of this disease is often accompanied by obvious blood pressure increase and headache symptoms caused by it.
(4) Climacteric syndrome
Where is sweating bad for your health?
Climacteric syndrome also has hyperhidrosis. In menopausal women, ovarian function gradually declines, and there may be different degrees of autonomic nerve dysfunction and vasomotor dysfunction, leading to hyperhidrosis.
4. Which part is sweaty?
There are about 3.3 million sweat glands on human skin, from which sweat is secreted. Normal people will unconsciously evaporate about 600 ~ 700 ml of sweat within 24 hours. The main component is 99% water, followed by urea and a small amount of metal ions, lactic acid, chlorine compounds, potassium, sodium and some metabolic wastes. External temperature, mental stress, emotional excitement, and eating spicy and exciting food will all make people sweat. Excessive sweat secretion often makes people uncomfortable or even distressed, such as palmoplantar hyperhidrosis. So where do you sweat?
First, sweating
If you sweat on your head and face, you feel heavy and weak limbs, abdominal distension, thirst, etc. Most of them are food accumulation, which can be alleviated by reducing food intake, eating lightly or taking some digestive drugs.
It is normal for children to have a slight head sweat during sleep, but if they are accompanied by symptoms such as fake sleep, irritability, being easily frightened and thinning hair, they should be diagnosed and treated in time.
In addition, the elderly and women who are weak after delivery will also have hyperhidrosis, which is mostly due to qi deficiency.
Second, sweaty hands and feet.
If hyperhidrosis of hands and feet is accompanied by fever of hands and feet, dry mouth and throat, etc. Most of them are caused by yin deficiency and heat excess.
If sweaty hands and feet are accompanied by abdominal distension and pain, and the stool is blocked, it is mostly heat syndrome, and the stool is stuck in the intestine, you can take laxatives.
