Sweating all the time. What's wrong?

Sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon, which can regulate people's body temperature, especially in hot summer, sweating can dissipate heat and reduce heatstroke. Chinese medicine believes that sweat is the water discharged from sweat pores by evaporation of body fluid by yang. Physiological hyperhidrosis can be seen when the weather is hot, the room temperature is too high, the clothes mattress is too thick or the spirit is tense. It is not normal to sweat too much without the above situation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this kind of hyperhidrosis is caused by deficiency, so it is called "deficiency sweat". The main symptom of "sweating deficiency" is abnormal sweating all over the body or locally. Among them, if you often sweat during the day, people who are aggravated by a little activity are called spontaneous sweating; If you sweat when you sleep, you wake up with night sweats. Spontaneous sweating and night sweats are common in internal medicine and pediatric diseases, and their pathology is imbalance of yin and yang, with unstable causes and disharmony between camp and health. It may also be caused by congenital endowment deficiency, acquired spleen and stomach imbalance or malnutrition after illness. No matter spontaneous sweating or night sweats, they are not affected by external environmental factors.

As the name implies, "deficiency sweating" is more common in deficiency syndrome. It can occur alone or in the course of many diseases. "Sweat is the essence of the heart". If the patient sweats too much or sweats spontaneously or night sweats for too long, it will lead to the symptoms of yin-yang imbalance such as exhaustion of vital energy, mental fatigue, pale face, weakness of limbs, loss of appetite, easy catching a cold, sleeping and dreaming, which will damage the physical and mental health of the human body and even induce other diseases.
