What are the methods of TCM to treat sweating?

Excessive sweating refers to the phenomenon of vigorous sweat secretion when people are sleeping or inactive. This phenomenon is abnormal and needs to be treated. This phenomenon is more likely to occur in people with weak bodies or infants and young children. Therefore, it is more harmful. Generally, sweating can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Let’s take a look at the methods of traditional Chinese medicine to treat sweating.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a disease called hyperhidrosis. Some people do not sweat easily. Firstly, their skin is relatively dense. Secondly, it means that their body regulation system is weaker than that of ordinary people. Not sweating or sweating infrequently will bring a greater burden to the liver, and their detoxification ability will be worse than that of ordinary people.

Sweat is a form of human body's yin fluid. Excessive consumption will lead to yin deficiency and blood deficiency, and will also have a negative impact on the heart. Therefore, if you sweat too much, you should replenish water and salt in time.

Quiet sweating manifests as spontaneous sweating, night sweats, etc. Some people will sweat profusely after walking a few steps. This is called spontaneous sweating. This group of people can be treated with Astragalus. Night sweats refer to abnormal sweating after falling asleep, which is especially common in menopausal women. It is usually caused by yang deficiency and liver deficiency, which manifests as poor spleen and stomach. This type of people can usually use glutinous rice root boiled water or Liuwei Dihuang Pills for conditioning.

The above is an explanation of the method of treating sweating with traditional Chinese medicine. I hope everyone can understand that sweating is mostly a manifestation of internal deficiency, and treating internal deficiency happens to be the strength of traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, it is better to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat sweating. People with similar symptoms can try this method.
