Many people will sweat profusely in hot weather, especially in love sweating, especially when they can't stand the hot environment.

Why are you so afraid of the heat? Is it easy to sweat when the weather is hot?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that yang is hot and yin is cold. On the contrary, yang deficiency will lead to external cold, while yin deficiency will lead to internal heat. The so-called yin deficiency produces internal heat, which is actually the result of insufficient body fluid and qi and blood. Water does not control fire. A normal human body, yin and yang balance, good health, not suffering from diseases. As the saying goes, yin is peaceful and quiet, and qi is the cure. If the vaginal fluid is insufficient and the deficiency fire gets angry, there will be internal heat transpiration, which is manifested as intolerance of cold and heat, easy sweating, upset and hot, and sweaty hands and feet. In severe cases, there will be symptoms such as sleep sweating, insomnia and dreaminess, difficulty in falling asleep, bone steaming and hot flashes, which will seriously affect your health.

In fact, sweating easily, sweating in the head and neck and excessive sweating are not only related to yin deficiency, but also related to qi deficiency, especially the qi on the lung surface. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that lung governs fur, which includes fur and pores. The lung is full of qi, and the fur has a strong astringent effect. Not only does it not sweat easily, but it is also not easy to catch a cold. Once the lung qi is insufficient and the exterior qi is insufficient, it is still easy to sweat and catch a cold at any time. In addition, because of internal heat transpiration and forced sweating, it is easier to sweat. It is also prone to problems such as laziness, weakness and fatigue.
