Why do I tend to sweat excessively when its hot?
Excessive sweating may be related to weakness of yang energy in one's constitution. Additionally, a strong stomach fire can also lead to excessive sweating. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this may also be associated with hyperactivity of liver yang, weakened immune system, or insufficient lung qi. Besides rest and strengthening one's health, if the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention and receive treatment through relevant medications.
1. If there is excessive sweating on the head, it may be due to weakness of yang energy or a strong stomach fire.
2. Abnormal sweating on the forehead may be caused by hyperactivity of liver yang.
3. Abnormal sweating from the nose may be due to weakened immune system and insufficient lung qi. It is recommended to eat more spleen-nourishing foods.
4. Abnormal sweating on the neck may be caused by endocrine imbalance or damp-heat in the body, leading to obstruction of qi flow. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables.
Patients can take Huangqi Granules or Oyster Shell Powder orally for symptomatic treatment. While taking medication, patients should consume nutritious and easy-to-digest foods, especially those that nourish qi deficiency. They can boil water with Huangqi, Goji berries, and Schisandra berries for consumption. Alongside medication, patients should consume more fruits and vegetables while avoiding spicy, stimulating foods and high-cholesterol foods. It is also recommended that patients exercise moderately to strengthen their bodies and improve their immune function.
