What to eat to stop sweating

Sweating is a normal physiological reaction of human beings. Sweating can better excrete toxins from the body and enhance the body's metabolism. Especially in summer, you will sweat a lot every day, and your body will smell bad and feel sticky. Moreover, sweating can cause problems such as eczema and prickly heat. Some people really don't like this sticky feeling and try to find ways to avoid sweating. So what can you eat to stop sweating?

Treat sweating: Don’t drink cold tea, take warm tonic instead

Whether it is spontaneous sweating or night sweats, the root cause is internal deficiency. Many Guangzhou people always think that sweating in summer is all due to humidity and heat, so they drink a lot of herbal tea for fear of getting a sore throat. Experts warn that this can easily attack the spleen and stomach, making the deficiency symptoms worse. In fact, Guangdong people live in air-conditioned rooms for a long time in the summer and lack exercise. The physical constitution of many people has changed to yang deficiency. Appropriate warming and tonic will not cause heat, but help regulate the balance of yin and yang in the body.

The following therapeutic soups are recommended, but please note that they should be drunk when warm and avoid cold drinks which will damage the spleen and stomach.

●Beiqi Dazao Water

Boil 20-30 grams of Astragalus membranaceus, 6 jujubes (if they are red dates, the seeds must be removed), and 20 grams of floating wheat in water and take it frequently to replenish qi, promote the production of body fluids, and reduce sweating.

●Rice water

Fry the rice in a pan until golden brown, then add water to cook. It warms the middle and strengthens the spleen, and is especially effective for women with weak constitution. The folk custom of women drinking fried rice water during the confinement period is also based on this reason.

●Ginseng and lean meat water

Ginseng stewed with lean meat can nourish the middle, replenish qi and strengthen the spleen. If the patient suffers from both Qi and Yin deficiency, American ginseng can be added; if the patient suffers from Yang deficiency, Korean ginseng can be used. Especially for women who are weak after childbirth, after the lochia is discharged, they can use Korean ginseng, donkey-hide gelatin, deer antler and other products that can replenish qi and blood.

●Sweat-removing soup

Floating wheat or glutinous rice roots have the effect of astringing sweat, and jujubes can be interchanged with longan meat, and adding lean meat can make it a health soup; or add rock sugar or honey to drink.

Sweating on the forehead - Hyperactivity of liver yang

If you often sweat a lot on your forehead, Chinese medicine believes that it may be caused by hyperactivity of liver yang.

Suggestion: Try to keep a peaceful mood, get angry less often, and get enough sleep, otherwise it is easy to cause Yin deficiency and hyperactivity of liver Yang. Drinking wolfberry tea every day has the effect of calming the liver.

Sweating nose – insufficient lung qi

If your nose is always sweating, it means that your lung qi is insufficient and you need to regulate and replenish qi. Western medicine believes that this is a sign of low immunity and that immunity needs to be improved.

Recommendation: Tap your legs with both hands every day and press the left and right sides of your legs, because this is where the lung meridian of the human body is located. Through tapping and stimulation, it can play a role in regulating the lung meridian.

Neck sweating - endocrine disorders

There are few sweat glands on the neck, so few people sweat on the neck. If your neck sweats frequently, it may be related to endocrine disorders throughout your body.

Recommendation: It is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive hormone test.

Sweating on the chest - disharmony between spleen and stomach

If your chest sweats frequently, Chinese medicine believes that this is a sign of disharmony between the spleen and stomach, indicating that blood circulation in the body is very slow and oxygen transport is not smooth.
