Why is half of the body sweating?

Sweating is a human need to dissipate heat. However, excessive sweating is not normal. People with qi deficiency love to sweat, not only when it is hot. Even in the autumn and winter, they will sweat after a little activity. They also always feel tired and easily catch colds. This is due to qi deficiency. Is it Yin deficiency or Yang deficiency?

If you sweat profusely after a little movement during the day, it is spontaneous sweating. That is, frequent sweating not caused by hot weather, taking sweat-inducing drugs or other stimuli is called "spontaneous sweating". This type of condition belongs to Yang deficiency. Spontaneous sweating is mostly caused by weak lung Qi, weak Wei Yang and fluid leakage. Therefore, it is often accompanied by symptoms of Yang deficiency such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath and chills. It is more common in children with rickets and patients with hyperthyroidism.

If you sweat all over your body just after falling asleep at night, it is a sign of yin deficiency. Night sweats are mostly caused by Yin deficiency. Yin deficiency leads to Yang hyperactivity. Yin cannot control Yang, and body fluid turns into sweat. Therefore, it is often accompanied by symptoms such as fever in the five parts of the body, insomnia, and dry mouth and throat. Common in patients with infiltrative stage of pulmonary tuberculosis.
