What should I do if I'm sweaty?

You have to find the right cause for the old sweating and then treat it. Here are some guidelines:

Now is the summer, many people will often be a smelly sweat, walk a few steps on the sweat, like just been drenched in rain, a "soup chicken" look, how to see people? Especially for women is "a disaster", before going out carefully dressed makeup melted away, a "ghost face" do not know how many people scared. Summer sometimes really people love and hate, always easy to sweat, which in the end why?

1, sweat hides a little secret

Sweat, a fluid secreted by sweat glands. Due to the external temperature rise, or the body heat production due to increased thermal stimuli caused by sweating is called perceptual sweating. At this time the sweat area is widely distributed, all parts of the body skin, especially the forehead, neck, trunk before and after, waist, back of the hands and forearms and other parts of the most; followed by the neck, side of the trunk and most of the limbs; again for the inner side of the femur and armpit; the least is the palms of the hands and feet.

Sweating centers are located in all parts of the central nervous system, and a normal person unconsciously evaporates about 600-700 ml of water in 24 hours. For an adult weighing 68 kilograms, this is equivalent to 4 kilograms of sweat.

Nervousness, emotional excitement, eating spicy, hot food also cause sweating, if the sweat glands are not functioning properly, when the body is in a state of high fever, can not play the role of secretion of sweat, people will have a high fever, may also cause damage to the heart, brain, liver, kidneys and the blood system, visible sweat glands regulate the importance of human body temperature.

2. Sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon

Under normal circumstances, the human body sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon. Such as summer rarely sweat, blood did not "long open", the body's resistance to wind and cold will be weakened, summer sweating is actually the human body in their own cooling, if you always stay in an air-conditioned environment with little sweat, to the fall and winter are more susceptible to the invasion of evil, easy to catch a cold, cough more than one. Below to recognize a few normal sweat:

1、Warm sweating

In hot weather, sitting still will sweat profusely, which is thermophilic sweating. Thermal sweating is a way of self-regulation of the body's central temperature caused by the rise in external temperature, in which the body radiates heat and regulates body temperature through sweating.

2、Exercise sweating

The human body in the movement of blood vessel expansion, blood circulation accelerated, in the body to consume energy at the same time can produce a lot of heat, the human body through sweating to reduce the body temperature, this belongs to the normal physiological response.

3、Spiritual sweating

Under the influence of nervousness, fear, excitement and other mental factors, nerve impulses are transmitted from the cerebral cortex to the area of the sweat glands, and the concentration of norepinephrine is elevated, leading to a rapid enhancement of secretory and excretory activities of the sweat glands within a short period of time, i.e., mental sweating occurs.

4、Gustatory sweating

It is sweating caused after eating certain irritating foods such as chili peppers, garlic, ginger, cocoa, and coffee.

3, excessive sweating, we have to be vigilant!

If you sweat too much, then you have to be vigilant, may be the body has a problem. Excessive sweating will deplete the gas, injury to the fluid and damage to the heart and blood, a large number of Yang leakage, easy to make people tired and weak, panic and shortness of breath. However, different parts of the sweat, corresponding to the body of different health problems, so we have to "treat the symptoms" Oh!

1. Excessive head sweating

If the head sweats too much and accompanied by heavy limbs, stomach distension, discomfort and want to vomit, body fever, thick and yellowish tongue coating, mostly spleen and stomach have the manifestation of dampness and heat, at this time should pay attention to light diet, smooth bowel movement, spleen and dampness.

If excessive sweating of the head and face occurs after overeating, along with a feeling of bloating in the upper abdomen and thirst, it is mostly due to accumulation of food, which can be relieved by reducing the amount of food eaten and eating a light diet.

In addition, the elderly and postpartum weak women, there will also be excessive sweating in the head, mostly belong to the qi deficiency, can be adjusted according to the principle of qi tonic.

2. Excessive sweating of the hands and feet

Sweaty hands and feet and accompanied by fever, dry mouth and throat, etc., most of the yin deficiency with heat, you can eat some nourishing food, such as Colla Corii Asini, motherwort, angelica, silver fungus, poria, etc..

If accompanied by abdominal distension and pain, fecal impassability, mostly belongs to the intestinal dry constipation caused by dampness and heat, at this time you can eat some moist stomach and intestinal food, such as yam, ginseng, atractylodes macrocephala, pericarpium; if accompanied by a dry mouth, swollen gums, etc., belongs to the stomach heat, you can cook peas and rice porridge together to regulate.

3. Excessive sweating in the heart and chest

4. Sweating all over the body

If there is profuse sweating, thirst, dizziness, chest tightness, nausea, panic, weakness of limbs, ringing in the ears, lack of concentration, and elevated body temperature, it is generally a precursor to heat stroke. It is recommended to stay hydrated and take a break in a cool place. Do not wait until you are thirsty to drink water, thirst indicates that the body is already very dehydrated.

5, sweating strange shape may predict the disease

If the sweat gives off the smell of urine, it can also leave crystals on the skin when it dries, commonly seen in patients with uremia.

Sweat with a peculiar fishy odor is most often seen in cirrhosis of the liver.

There's also sweat wafting out the scent, a common sign in diabetics.

If the sweat appears yellow, it is mostly caused by the high concentration of a substance called bilirubin in the blood, which is mainly seen in liver and gallbladder diseases, such as acute and chronic hepatitis, cholecystitis, cirrhosis of the liver, and so on. In addition, excessive consumption of fruits and vegetables such as carrots, oranges, mandarin oranges, etc., can also appear temporary yellow sweat.

White sweat from Chinese medicine, white belongs to the lungs, lung color is exposed now white sweat, mostly due to heart and lung yang deficiency, often associated with cardiopulmonary function weakness. Sometimes, severe pain (such as stomach pain) can also cause white sweat.

If the sweat appears red, it is mostly related to endocrine dysfunction, or it may be that a part of the body is bleeding. However, taking chemical agents such as potassium iodide can also result in red sweat.

Also if the sweat turns greenish, it suggests that there is bile leakage, such as in acute septic cholangitis.

4, health sweating has a trick

Whether it's sweat from the heat or sweat from the sauna, these are superficial sweats, not active sweats. And exercise is the real deep surface layer of sweat, that is to say, let a person sweat from the inside out, is the active sweat. This sweat is the body's self-regulation, sweating not only makes people feel very comfortable, there are a variety of benefits, such as the elimination of toxins, control blood pressure, promote digestion, skin care and beauty, weight loss ......

1、Drink hot water and hot porridge before exercise

Drink a cup of hot water or hot porridge before exercise, so that the pores into the state of will be open, and then exercise for a period of time, you can let all the pores open. But after exercise must not immediately blow air conditioning, fan or take a cool shower, to be patient and wait for the sweat to subside.

2, skillfully use ginger to promote sweating

Ginger not only warms the spleen and stomach, but also walks the table to open the sweat hole. People who often work in air-conditioned environments can insist on drinking ginger water, such as tea with ginger slices in water, ginger and red date water, etc., to promote sweating.

3. Sit quietly for an hour

Regularly turn off the air conditioning and sit quietly for an hour each day to develop your body's ability to actively sweat.

I'm a TCM doctor who sweats more to give my opinion.

Excessive sweating, in the view of Chinese medicine, needs to be viewed dialectically. Overall it is divided into deficiency and reality.

ischemia

The common more sweaty deficiency conditions are. Yin deficiency, Qi deficiency, and Yang deficiency.

Yin deficiency sweating, often after falling asleep, is also called night sweats. It is more common in the elderly and children, and tends to occur at night after falling asleep. These people tend to sleep poorly, a easily irritable, accompanied by symptoms of yin deficiency, dry mouth and thirst, and so on.



Qi deficiency sweating, such people are sweating, usually more common in the daytime, sweating at every turn, a little movement. And after sweating afraid of the wind, usually very easy to catch a cold. This kind of sweating is generally dominated by sweating all over the body. Usually, they are lazy, easy to get tired, and don't like to exercise.



sweating due to a deficiency in yang (TCM)

Sweating in Yang deficiency tends to sweat in the extremities. That is, sweaty hands and feet. This person also has a characteristic, is usually more afraid of cold, the colder the hands and feet sweat more. And the more sweaty hands and feet the more cold hands and feet.

concrete evidence

The so-called solid evidence is the heavier evil in the body, with phlegm and heat or stagnant blood.

When heat is more prevalent in the body, the whole body will sweat, which is most often seen when there is a high fever.

body heat from dampness

There is a kind of sweating that is in the body that is heavy with dampness.

This kind of sweating tends to be that the head, neck, and above tend to sweat a lot. In the theory of typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases, the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing said that this kind of sweating is characterized by 'but the head sweating, Qi neck and still'.

Based on the description of your out your sweating, I think it falls into this category. People in this category usually sweat easily, often when it's hot as well.

Such a body is like the human body is like a steamer, heat can not be emitted, all to the head.

I have come across some of these patients who at the same time sweat easily, that is, they have a lot of hair head oil facial oil as well.



To treat this kind of sweating, you need to get rid of this dampness.

Specific treatments include: Artemisia capillaris soup, Ephedra and forsythia soup, and so on. Of course, the specific use of medication depends on the individual details such as the tongue, constitution, age and so on.

It is possible that there is a deficiency of qi. According to Chinese medicine, if there is a deficiency of qi, the fluid will not be consolidated, and sweat also belongs to the category of fluid, therefore, a deficiency of qi causes sweat to be unconstrained and easy to perspire. It can be regulated by adding or subtracting the tonifying medium and benefiting qi soup.

Normal sweating, possibly due to participation inCaused by physical exercise, eating hot foods, or cold or warm weather factors.



Unusual sweating, mostlyCaused by internal weakness in the internal organs.

For example, people with kidney yin deficiency are particularly "sweaty". Yin deficiency will lead to the body of false fire up, the qi does not solidify the fluid, often sweating. Therefore, you can eat some nourishing yin and kidney food, such as black sesame, wolfberry, angelica, jujube, etc. to nourish the qi and sweat.

In addition, liver yang deficiency can also make the liver fire caused by "love sweating", the symptoms of the red tongue, red eyes, swelling and pain, two ribs fever. You can take some Chinese medicines to remove liver fire, or drink some chrysanthemum, dandelion, peppermint tea to clear heat and relieve the surface, stop sweating and fix the fluid.

In addition, some infectious diseases can also cause "love sweating", such as tuberculosis patients due to lung deficiency, it is easy to appear at night when sleeping "night sweating" phenomenon, need to pay special attention to, and timely treatment of the symptoms.

Sweating itself is a way to regulate body temperature, heat dissipation, such as labor, exercise, emotional excitement, nervousness after sweating is very normal, so sweating is a very normal performance. Fat people due to more body fat, not easy to dissipate heat, sweating is more powerful. Chinese medicine believes that sweating is also his reason, there are individual differences between people, such as fat some people will be more sweat, thin some people will sweat less, which are normal categories. Sweating must be distinguished from physiological sweating or pathological sweating, pathological sweating is the cause of hyperhidrosis in general is a central nervous system dysfunction performance. Chinese medicine is how to think of each person sweating: medicine for sweating is categorized, there are self-sweating, night sweating, head sweating, half-body sweating, hand, foot and heart sweating, etc., the most common or self-sweating and night sweating. The so-called spontaneous sweating is sweating for no reason, involuntary sweating, usually in the daytime is not hot and there is no exercise environment. Night sweats are medically recognized as sweating that occurs at night when you fall asleep and stops when you wake up. Of course, there are many other cases of sweating that are categorized.

Generally overweight people, due to the weight of their own factors, as well as the body's endocrine double effect, only the kind of metabolic increase, only to appear the performance of the body sweating.

Advice: That is a very normal reaction of the heavy body of the crowd, to improve that abnormal performance, first of all should control weight, increase physical exercise, slowly improve the physical quality, sweating can be controlled.

Summer weather is hot, is the sweaty season. Normal people in hot climatic conditions or engaged in physical exercise, physical labor when sweating, are normal physiological phenomena. Sweat for the heart fluid, blood in the water seeping out of the veins for the fluid, fluid through the vaporization of yang qi from the coupling sweat hole discharge, that is, sweat. Normal sweat has the role of regulating body temperature, moisturize the skin, discharge moisture and harmful substances, appropriate sweating on the body has certain benefits, so the summer long time in the low air-conditioned environment is harmful to the human body. However, excessive sweating can also lead to the first death of yin (sweat more depletion of fluid) after the death of yang (body yang with sweat dissipation) of the pathological phenomenon.

The questioner describes that only the head and face sweat a lot, the other parts of the body do not sweat, is generally considered to be the stomach heat on the steam or damp-heat depression and vaporization of the evidence. The combination of burning pain in the stomach and epigastric region, nausea and acid reflux, constipation or hot and smelly stools, thirst for cold drinks, overeating and good hunger, gums ulceration and bleeding, etc. is the stomach heat upward steaming, the foot yangming gastric meridian to go to the head and face, gastric heat through the meridian upward steaming, there will be sweaty head and face, exercise or eat the gastric heat intensified, and therefore the sweating will be exacerbated. If there is a combination of head and body weight, body heat not Yang, anorexia, chest and epigastric congestion, urination is unfavorable in the middle Jiao damp-heat condensation, damp-heat Yu steam, fluid up over the head and face sweating.

If the stomach heat on the steam, suggest that the questioner to change the sleeping habits, go to bed early and get up early, so as not to stay up late caused by fire; to drink more water, do not be afraid of sweating and less water, you can drink some lemonade or chrysanthemum tea, bitter tea, etc.; eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, eat less spicy stimulation, deep-fried and barbecued food. Drugs can be used to regulate the large Chengqi Tang plus subtractions, Huanglian clear stomach pill, clear stomach powder, and so on. If it is damp-heat and steam head sweat, in addition to pay attention to diet and do not drink alcohol, you can use gentian diarrhea liver soup with subtractions or SANREN TANG with subtractions to adjust the evidence.

Hyperhidrosis, belonging to the sympathetic nervous disorder, simply put, the sympathetic nerve control sweating, parasympathetic nerve control sweating, sympathetic nerve over-excitement, will be sweating, this disease may you have seen a lot of departments have no results. In fact, this disease belongs to the category of pain, the people do not know, through the sympathetic nervous system nerve block or radio frequency can regulate the balance of the sympathetic nervous system, I hope you find the right doctor.

Sweat is divided into three kinds, one is normal sweating, without treatment. Secondly, the body can not be fixed and sweat, this belongs to the false sweat, to take traditional Chinese medicine to stop sweating. Third, the internal heat forced sweat out, this is the internal heat evil, need to take Chinese medicine to clear the heat, heat clear sweat from stopping.

In summer, many people know that sweating a lot, sweat is salty, so more salt supplementation, in fact, may not be. Sweating, not only to appropriate more salt, but also to supplement protein, vitamin C, potassium, B vitamins, calcium, zinc and so on. When the heat is often poor appetite, the body's gastrointestinal vitality becomes poor, food intake is therefore reduced, especially for fatty foods can not interest. In this kind of weather should pay special attention to adjust the diet, especially to supplement protein. This is because the absorption rate of protein in the body decreases in hot weather, while the breakdown rate increases, which means that our body is more susceptible to protein deficiency. For example, make sure you have 1 cup of yogurt/milk, 1 egg per day, plus a portion of soy products or a bowl of soy porridge, and often eat lean meat and fish cooked fresh. The body loses a lot of protein through sweating, and there is also an increase in protein breakdown in the body. Sweating will also lose a lot of water, minerals, vitamins and so on. Appropriate to eat sour fruits, such as tomatoes, dates, grapes, hawthorn, lemon, strawberries, umeboshi, pineapple, mango, kiwi, etc., can play a convergence of sweating to produce the role of the body to prevent excessive sweating and exhaustion and injury to the yin. And these fruits are generally high in water content, to a certain extent, can also play a role in hydration. Easy to sweat may also be due to the body heavy moisture caused by the body, so the diet should also focus on dampness. Winter melon, watermelon, red beans, mung beans, barley have a very good effect on dampness, sweaty people can also be appropriate to eat. With the sweat excretion of calcium and potassium, if not timely supplementation, the human body will feel fatigue and weakness. Therefore, sweaty people should eat more soy products and dairy products and other calcium-containing foods, as well as potatoes and mushrooms and other potassium-rich foods. It should be reminded that the high temperature in summer, the body's metabolic rate accelerated, protein and calorie consumption increased; on the other hand, the hot weather affects people's appetite. Therefore, do not simply eat vegetables and fruits in the summer, but not properly supplemented with protein and high-calorie foods, which can easily lead to a decline in physical fitness, triggering colds, rhinitis, memory loss and other discomforts.
