Waking up in the morning with hot flashes and sweating is usually seen in patients with yin deficiency, which can be regulated through diet and medication.
1. Diet: hot flashes and sweating are generally a manifestation of yin deficiency, so do not eat spicy, warm and dry food in the diet, eat some nourishing yin and moistening dryness (nourishing yin essence, clearing away the heat), fresh fruits and vegetables to promote the production of fluids and quench the thirst, such as tomatoes, fungus and watermelon and so on.
2. Medications: Nourishing yin and moistening dryness are the mainstay of medications, and different therapeutic medications should be chosen according to different presenting symptoms. For the Yin deficiency type, Zhi Bai Di Huang Pills can be chosen to nourish the kidney and nourish Yin, while for the Damp-Heat type, Ginseng Ling Bai Zhu San can be chosen to strengthen the spleen and relieve dampness to reduce heat.
In addition, appropriate exercise can promote the smooth flow of tendons and veins, improve the function of the heart and lungs, and enhance the body’s ability to resist external evils. Also pay attention to rest and don’t stay up late.
Please take medication under the guidance of a professional doctor, and do not take medication on your own.
