Excessive sweating can be regulated by improving lifestyle and taking medicines that benefit qi and consolidate the surface, nourish yin and astringent sweating (to stop sweating by replenishing fluids).
1. Improve lifestyle: Normal people tend to sweat easily when eating spicy food, hot climate, emotional excitement, physical activity, and over-thickness of clothing, which is a normal physiological phenomenon that can be regulated by resting, regulating diet, reducing clothing, and moderating emotions and moods.
2. Enhancement of qi and consolidation of the surface: If yang qi is deficient and the surface of the muscle is not consolidated, excessive sweating can be seen, which can be treated with Yu Ping Feng San. Astragalus in this formula is sweet and warm, which can replenish the qi of the spleen and lungs internally, and stabilize the surface to stop sweating externally (to stop sweating by consolidating the surface of the muscle). Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae strengthens the spleen and strengthens the qi, which helps astragalus to strengthen the qi and strengthen the epidermis. Fangfeng disperses wind and defends against evils by going to the exterior. The combination has the effect of benefiting Qi and consolidating the exterior.
3. Nourishing Yin and restraining sweating: If there is Yin deficiency and internal heat, steam and fluid leakage, excessive sweating can also be seen, which can be treated with Angelica Six Horns Soup. The combination has the effect of nourishing yin and reducing fire.
The adverse effects of the above drugs are not clear. If symptoms of excessive sweating occur, one should go to the hospital to find out the cause and choose a suitable treatment plan, rather than taking medication by oneself to avoid delaying the condition. Acupuncture and tuina can also be used.
