Why is my head sweating all the time?

Sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon, but the amount of sweating is also scientifically based. We can sweat anywhere on our body, but the most common place is the head. However, sometimes the weather doesn’t feel hot, but some people keep sweating on their heads. Why? In traditional Chinese medicine, excessive sweating is not a good thing and may even be related to certain diseases, so it is best to learn more about it and see a doctor first.

What medicine is good for sweating on the head?

1. If you sweat a lot when you are not exercising, it is a manifestation of hedyohidrosis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi deficiency causes spontaneous sweating, and spontaneous sweating refers to increased sweating while awake. Sweating a lot during sleep and stopping sweating after waking up is called night sweats, which are caused by Yin deficiency.

2. Spontaneous sweating (sweating when awake), with the main sweating sites being the head and trunk, accompanied by mental fatigue, decreased appetite, loose stools, clear and long urination, general weakness, shortness of breath and laziness to speak, sallow complexion and thin muscles, and cold hands and feet, is a sign of Qi deficiency.

3. Excessive sweating on the head indicates yang deficiency. The head is the meeting point of all yang, with the most yang energy, so its consolidating power should be the strongest. However, if you sweat on your head but have no or little sweat on your whole body, it only means that your Yang Qi is weak.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sweating on the head is mostly caused by kidney yang deficiency, and needs to be treated by tonifying kidney yang. Some medicines such as Wu Zi Yan Zong Wan or Jingui Shen Qi Wan can be used, which have certain effects and generally the condition can gradually improve.

5. In daily life, be careful not to eat too much raw or cold food, do not stay up late, get enough sleep, and exercise moderately. At night, you should soak your feet in warm water until your body sweats slightly to expel the dampness and coldness in your body. Try to eat more warm and nourishing foods, such as jujube, beef, yam, honey, Poria cocos, etc., which can strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and nourish blood. Drink more water and eat less high-fat foods.

1. Hypoglycemia

There are many causes of hypoglycemia, and excessive sympathetic nerve excitement is the main manifestation during an attack.

As a result, the patient may experience symptoms such as pale face, cold sweats, and tremors in the hands and feet.

Fear of heat and excessive sweating are one of the main characteristics of this disease. At the same time, it is also accompanied by symptoms such as mental tension, personality changes, difficulty falling asleep, and suspicion.

Diabetes patients often suffer from abnormal sweating due to the combined autonomic nervous system dysfunction. If you also have typical symptoms of diabetes, such as increased appetite, increased drinking, increased urination and weight loss, it is recommended to have blood sugar and urine sugar tests.
