According to Chinese medicine, normal sweating regulates body temperature, eliminates waste from the body and regulates the balance of yin and yang in the body. And abnormal sweating occurs when the body’s yin and yang are out of balance and the internal organs are dysfunctional. Therefore, Chinese medicine often judges the condition of the body based on the time, location, amount and characteristics of sweating.
The first thing to do is to rule out whether it is due to disease. In general, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, hypertension, congestive heart failure, hemiplegia spinal trauma, tumors, and tuberculosis can cause abnormal sweating with obvious corresponding symptoms. Of course, more often than not, abnormal sweating without obvious disease symptoms is summarized in the following categories.
Sweating by time of day
One type of sweating is excessive sweating during the day. In the case of inactivity or light activity during the day, sweating often does not stop. These people are often characterized by weakness, low speech, poor appetite, and susceptibility to colds. Chinese medicine considers this to be a manifestation of qi deficiency. Diet options include yam, soy milk, beef and mutton, etc. Chicken stewed with Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng or Astragali can also be used to nourish the organism and relieve qi deficiency. You can also strengthen your body through the movement of soothing and static exercises, such as the practice of Taijiquan, Badaanjin, etc.
The other is sweating at night. Sweating while sleeping and waking up to stop sweating is called “night sweating” in Chinese medicine. These people often have hot hands and feet, irritable heart, red and hot face, and dry mouth and throat. Chinese medicine believes that this is a manifestation of yin deficiency, so you can choose to eat lily and pear to nourish yin, and eat less hot foods such as mutton, onion, onion, ginger and garlic, etc. You can also use sage, maidenhair, schisandra or American ginseng to make water for drinking.
According to the sweating parts
If there is excessive head sweating, if the head and face sweat after overeating, it is mostly accumulation of food, which can be relieved by eating a light diet, or eating some food eliminating medicine; if it is accompanied by heavy and weak limbs, stomach distension and discomfort, body fever, thick and yellow tongue coating, it is a manifestation of damp heat in the spleen and stomach, attention should be paid to a light diet, eating more barley, gravy, red beans, avoiding spices, and moxibustion of acupuncture points such as the foot three li, the middle epigastrium and the heavenly pivot.

If the sweating of the heart of the hands and feet is accompanied by heat in the heart of the hands and feet, dryness of the mouth and throat, etc., it mostly belongs to Yin deficiency with heat; if the sweating of the heart of the hands and feet is accompanied by painful bloating of the abdomen and inability to pass stool, it mostly belongs to the heat evidence of accumulation of feces in the intestines, so you can take laxatives; if the sweating of the heart of the hands and feet is accompanied by dryness of the mouth and swollen gums, etc., it mostly belongs to stomach heat, so you can take Chinese herbs to clear stomach heat, such as Niuhuang Qinggongwan, Qinggong Huanglianwan, etc.
Third, heart and chest sweating, mostly seen in some brain workers, these people are often accompanied by mental lethargy, loss of appetite, poor sleep, dreamy performance, belong to excessive thinking, resulting in heart and spleen deficiency, can often drink astragalus red date water, moxibustion foot three miles, Guan Yuan, Qihai, and through appropriate exercise, such as jogging, taijiquan, eight duanjin, etc.
Identify by smell
Fishy odor: normal sweat has no obvious fishy odor, if the sweat smells fishy, it is mostly related to heat evidence or damp-heat evidence, which is liver heat, and can be consumed through a light diet, or by infusing water with Chinese herbs such as chrysanthemum and inchi.
Sour odor: sweating in large amounts, the smell is sour and rotten.
