Where Sweat Comes From, Illness May Follow! Sweating is a normal bodily function, but if you sweat excessively in these three areas, it could be a warning sign from your body!

In Traditional Chinese Medicine consultations, there is a saying: "First ask about chills and fever, second ask about sweating." This means that when there is an issue with your body, it can be reflected through abnormal sweating. Next, Dr. Li will explain which parts of the body may be affected by these types of abnormal sweating.

First, Excessive Sweating All Over the Body

This includes the head, hands, feet, as well as the chest and back, often accompanied by symptoms such as heart palpitations, insomnia, easy waking, and general weakness. These manifestations are commonly referred to as spontaneous sweating, mostly caused by dual deficiency of qi and yin. In such cases, one may consider Renshen Guben Wan to achieve the effects of boosting qi, nourishing yin, and replenishing qi to generate fluids.

Second, Excessive Sweating in the Groin Area

This may be due to damp-heat in the liver meridian, possibly accompanied by symptoms such as itching and dampness in the lower body, dark urine, painful urination, and sticky stools. In this situation, one may consider Longdan Xiegan Wan to clear damp-heat from the liver meridian.

Third, frequent sweating on the back

Moreover, experiencing a pronounced fear of cold after sweating may indicate kidney yang deficiency. Individuals in this condition often exhibit symptoms such as increased nocturia, cold extremities, and soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees. At this point, it is advisable to consider treatments such as Yougui Wan based on syndrome differentiation, aiming to warm and tonify kidney yang, promote qi absorption, and transform fluids, thereby preventing qi sinking.
