Don’t be afraid of sweating in summer, and don’t create bad psychological implications. Many people mistakenly exaggerate the disadvantages of sweating in summer. In fact, excessive sweating in summer is the body's self-protection function, which is a sign of health. Once a fear of sweating is formed, it will cause an emotional imbalance. Once a small amount occurs, you will be very nervous and think that you will sweat a lot immediately, resulting in psychological sweating. This will only exacerbate excessive sweating. Don’t consider excessive sweating in the summer to be a big problem.

Excessive sweating in summer may be caused by Qi deficiency, so do not take medicine randomly. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Qi deficiency will lead to easy sweating. Once the body's Qi is deficient, it will cause body fluids to leak out and be difficult to consolidate, and the common symptom of excessive sweating will occur. You can eat more qi-tonifying foods, and don’t blindly take some so-called qi-tonifying and health-care drugs. In addition, excessive sweating caused by qi deficiency is very easy to identify. In summer, you will sweat profusely even if you turn on the air conditioner when eating. This symptom is qi deficiency.

Alcohol, spicy food, greasy food, and staying up late are some of the culprits that lead to excessive sweating. Alcohol and spicy food stimulate the body to secrete a large amount of sweat, and the smell of sweat after drinking alcohol or eating barbecue is particularly unpleasant. In addition, staying up late can easily lead to qi deficiency, which is also one of the reasons for excessive sweating.

Exercise more, travel more, and do more activities that can relax your mood. Sweating a lot in summer is due to personal emotional reasons. Sometimes it is because the hot weather is inevitable and irritability is inevitable. Sometimes it is because the body is excited or irritable due to strong hormone secretion in summer. In this case, it is very easy to sweat.
