Why is my face sweating so much?

When summer comes, many friends will feel that they sweat more than usual. If you sweat a lot on your face, you should pay attention, because excessive sweating on your face may be caused by hyperactivity of liver yang. It is recommended that you seek medical attention in time.

When you sweat abnormally in these three parts of your body, you should be careful:

1. Excessive sweating in the heart and chest

Frequent sweating on the chest is considered by traditional Chinese medicine to be a sign of disharmony between the spleen and stomach. This indicates that the blood circulation in the body is very slow and oxygen transport is not smooth.

It is more common in people who do mental work. This group of people is often accompanied by mental fatigue, loss of appetite, poor sleep, and frequent dreams. This is caused by excessive thinking and weak heart and spleen. Appropriate exercise, such as jogging, Tai Chi, etc., can relieve stress and regulate the mind and body.

2. Excessive sweating on the forehead and face

The forehead often sweats a lot, which traditional Chinese medicine believes is caused by hyperactivity of liver yang. In addition, the elderly and women who are weak after childbirth may also experience excessive sweating on their heads, which is mostly due to qi deficiency and can be treated according to the principle of tonifying qi.

If the head sweats too much and is accompanied by heavy and weak limbs, stomach bloating, nausea, and a thick, yellow and greasy tongue coating, it is mostly a manifestation of damp heat in the spleen and stomach. At this time, you should pay attention to a light diet and strengthen the spleen and remove dampness.

Recommendation: Try to keep an open mind, get angry less, and get enough sleep, otherwise it is easy to cause yin deficiency and hyperactivity of liver yang.

3. Excessive sweating of the hands and soles of the feet

Excessive sweating in the palms and soles of the feet is generally a sign of discomfort in the spleen, stomach, and intestines. The "Shang Han Ming Theory" points out that "it is mostly caused by dampness in the spleen and stomach, which spreads to the limbs and hands and feet."

Excessive sweating in the palms and soles, accompanied by heat in the palms and soles, dry mouth and throat, etc., is mostly due to yin deficiency and heat, which can be treated with yin-nourishing diet therapy.

Recommendation: For those who sweat excessively, mental and emotional fluctuations and certain food stimulation are obvious triggers of attacks. It is necessary to improve your living habits, get enough sleep, exercise regularly, learn relaxation techniques, and eat less irritating foods such as alcohol, coffee, spicy condiments, etc.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, excessive sweating is often caused by disharmony between the spleen and stomach and heavy dampness. Especially during the dog days of summer, lack of sleep and improper diet will aggravate the damage to the spleen, and the function of transporting water and eliminating moisture will be impaired, leading to increased sweat secretion.
