Hello, everyone, I'm Dr. Wang. We often say, "Where sweat comes from, illness follows," and this couldn't be more true. Today, I want to discuss how to use Chinese patent medicines for targeted regulation based on sweating in different areas.

First, let's talk about frequent neck sweating. Some friends often sweat around the neck, and it feels sticky and very uncomfortable. In fact, this is a manifestation of lung qi deficiency. Usually, they may also experience shortness of breath, feeling breathless with slight exertion; palpitations, a sense of uneasiness in the chest; weak coughing with a faint voice; pale complexion, lacking color; and overall fatigue, lacking energy for anything. In such cases, we need to tonify qi and secure the exterior to stop sweating, and Yupingfeng Powder can be considered for regulation.

Let's talk about excessive sweating under the arms again. Some people constantly sweat under their armpits, and the sweat is yellowish in color and has an unpleasant odor. According to traditional Chinese medicine, "When there is pathogenic qi in the liver, it lingers in both armpits." Frequent sweating in the armpits is often caused by excessive liver fire. When liver fire is excessive, the body is prone to various problems. In such cases, we need to clear liver fire. Gentian Liver-Draining Decoction is a good option to help reduce liver fire.

For friends who sweat excessively on the head. Some people break out in a sweat all over their head as soon as they eat, soaking their hair. This is mostly caused by excessive stomach fire. In daily life, they may also feel a burning sensation in the stomach, with a scorching pain; they may experience dry mouth and bad breath, with a strong odor when they speak; their appetite may be particularly strong, always feeling unsatisfied; and they may suffer from constipation, going days without a bowel movement. In such cases, we need to clear stomach fire and purge heat. Bezoar Stomach-Clearing Pill can come in handy to clear the fire from the stomach.

Finally, let's discuss sweating on the back. Some friends sweat excessively on their back, and after sweating, they feel chilly and are particularly afraid of the cold. At the same time, they may experience fatigue, soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, feeling weak when walking; their memory may decline, often forgetting things; and they may frequently get up at night with excessive nighttime urination. This is mostly due to kidney yang deficiency. Kidney yang is like the body's "little stove"—if kidney yang is deficient, the body cannot stay warm. In such cases, warming and tonifying kidney yang is particularly important. Cinnamon and Aconite Rehmannia Decoction can help warm and tonify kidney yang, allowing the body to regain its warmth.

Everyone, have you all remembered? In the future, if you encounter these sweating issues, you'll know how to regulate them! Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes treatment based on pattern differentiation, using different formulas for different symptoms to ensure the medicine effectively treats the illness. If you have similar conditions, the first step is to examine your tongue coating. Send me a photo of your tongue coating and describe your symptoms, and I’ll provide a free pattern differentiation to determine the general direction for regulation.
