Why do your palms always get sweaty in summer?

Under normal circumstances, sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon. It can help regulate body temperature and moisturize the skin. However, if the hands sweat excessively and cannot be controlled, it will affect people's normal work and life. . People with sweaty palms account for a large proportion of the population, and the proportion of those who develop severe sweating syndrome into "hyperhidrosis syndrome" is probably less than 5%, and this disease causes even greater distress. Some children have sweaty palms and must keep wiping their hands when doing homework to avoid getting their homework books wet. They sweat twice as fast during exams, which affects their exam results; some are even unable to hold hands with others for a long time.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the palms of people with heavy dampness and heat are most likely to sweat, and the reason for this is related to excessive excitability of the sympathetic nervous system. Experts also pointed out that the occurrence of this symptom may be related to genetics and is a problem of human body constitution and has no direct impact on health. Generally speaking, those with moderate to mild palm sweating can eat something that clears away heat and strengthens the spleen. In summer, you should eat more things that clear away heat, relieve heat, and strengthen digestion and spleen, so that you can better resist dampness and heat and reduce the frequency and amount of sweating on your palms. People with moderate to severe palmar hyperhidrosis should choose surgical treatment when the damp-heat removal method fails to achieve good results. However, there are some taboos for surgery. You need to seek the advice of a doctor before choosing and proceed according to your own condition.
