What is the good Chinese medicine remedy for spontaneous sweating and night sweats?

It is normal for people to sweat when it is hot. If they stop sweating, there might be a problem. For some men, due to kidney deficiency, they often experience night sweats, which requires timely treatment. Generally speaking, regulating the body to solve the above problems is mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine, so the question is, what are the good Chinese medicine prescriptions for spontaneous sweating and night sweats?

It is normal for people to sweat a little in the hot summer, when exercising and eating, and sweating can help regulate body temperature and eliminate metabolic waste and garbage in the body.

However, if you often sweat a lot, even profusely, when you are in a quiet state or while sleeping, and some people also have symptoms such as lack of energy and loss of appetite, this is a pathological condition.

For those who suffer from chronic sweating, different situations should be distinguished and treated accordingly. If the main symptom is spontaneous sweating (sweating when awake), and the main areas of sweating are the head and trunk, and are accompanied by mental fatigue, decreased appetite, loose stools, clear and long urine, general weakness, shortness of breath and laziness to speak, sallow complexion and thin muscles, it is Qi deficiency, and the treatment should be to invigorate Qi, strengthen the exterior and stop sweating. Choose 15 to 20 grams each of raw Astragalus, Pseudostellaria, stir-fried Atractylodes, stir-fried Saposhnikovia, floating wheat, and calcined oyster, and decoct in water for oral administration. For mild cases, you can simply take fried floating wheat and soak it in water as a substitute for tea for treatment.

This is Yin deficiency, and the treatment should be to clear away heat, nourish Yin and restrain sweat. Choose 10-15 grams each of raw rehmannia, white peony, schisandra chinensis, rehmannia root bark, ophiopogon japonicus, and anemarrhena asphodeloides, decocted in water and taken orally.

There are also some patients who suffer from chronic sweating, who have symptoms of both qi deficiency and yin deficiency, which is qi and yin deficiency. The treatment should be to tonify qi and consolidate the exterior, nourish yin and restrain sweat. Choose 15 to 30 grams each of Prince ginseng, raw astragalus, white peony, Schisandra chinensis, floating wheat, and calcined oyster, decocted in water and taken orally. No matter what kind of sweating it is, as long as it is treated properly and the medication is used reasonably, it will have a good effect.
