The common causes of head sweating include excessive heat in the upper Jiao, stagnation of damp-heat in the middle Jiao, etc. Different Chinese herbs should be used to regulate and treat the different causes.
Head sweating needs to be combined with other symptoms to determine the cause. If there is a combination of heart and chest tightness, thirst and face redness, it is mostly due to the exuberance of heat in the upper Jiao, forcing the excretion of fluids, and it is necessary to use traditional Chinese medicines for clearing the heat in the upper Jiao, such as Scutellaria baicalensis and Bamboo leaves, etc., to clear the heat in the upper Jiao.
Chinese medicine practitioners believe that it is better to use light and clear Chinese medicines for treating diseases in the upper focus, so as not to lead the heat downward (to guide the heat evil to walk downward), and the commonly used clearing agents for the upper focus are Yin Qiao San and Sang Ju Drink.
If head sweating is accompanied by body weight and tiredness, stomach and epigastric plumpness (stomach distension and discomfort), it is mostly due to the accumulation of dampness and heat in the middle Jiao (dampness and heat evils accumulate in the body), and dampness and heat evaporation are caused by dampness and heat, and it is necessary to use Chinese medicines that clear dampness and heat in the middle Jiao, such as Huanglian and Huoxiang to clear the dampness and heat in the middle Jiao.
For middle-heat dampness, Chinese medicine practitioners often use the lower method of treatment, through the use of some of the Chinese medicines with certain laxative effect, such as rhubarb, Hovenia, etc. to make the dampness and heat diarrhea, commonly used to clear the middle-heat prescriptions such as Dachengqi Tang, Xiaochengqi Tang, and so on.
If you need to receive Chinese medicine treatment, it is recommended that you go to a regular medical institution and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
