One side of the head is sweating and the other side is not sweating

I don't know if you have ever encountered this situation: one side of your head sweats while the other side doesn't. Many people don’t pay attention to this problem when they discover it. In fact, this situation is caused by excessive sweating. Generally speaking, partial sweating means sweating on half of the body, which means that one side of the body sweats while the other side does not sweat. If you sweat partially or on half of your body, you are very likely to have a stroke, so you should be cautious.

Commonly known as "half-body sweat". It can be found on the left or right side, upper or lower body. They are all caused by wind-phlegm or rheumatism blocking the meridians, or insufficient nutrition and defense, or disharmony of Qi and blood. It is more common in patients with rheumatism or hemiplegia. If an elderly person sweats profusely, it may be a precursor to a stroke.

Hemihidrosis refers to excessive sweating on one half of the body while the other half has no sweat or very little sweat. It is mostly caused by insufficient Qi and blood blocking the meridians, and is common in young people with hypertension, encephalopathy, stroke, hemiplegia, paraplegia, etc.

Condition analysis: partial sweating is often related to meridian blockage.

Suggestions: This situation can usually be treated with Chinese medicine. It can also be combined with massage therapy. The diet should be light.
