What’s wrong with a woman’s sweaty neck when she sleeps?

A woman’s neck sweating in her sleep may be caused by the prevalence of heat in the upper jiao and the accumulation of dampness and heat in the middle jiao (dampness and heat evils accumulate with each other in the body). Chinese medicine believes that the human head and face, including the neck is a part of the body’s yang qi, known as the body’s upper jiao. When you sleep, it is the time when Yang energy enters Yin. If Yang energy is strong in the Upper Jiao, the phenomenon of excessive sweating in the neck will occur when Yang energy forces the fluids during sleep. Excessive heat in the Upper Jiao will also be accompanied by sore throat, mouth and tongue sores, dry mouth and thirst, and tooth pain. Chinese medicine believes that if there is an accumulation of dampness and heat in the middle jiao, the dampness and heat will also vaporize upwards, especially when sleeping, the relationship between yin and yang is out of balance, and yang qi enters into yin will aggravate the dampness and heat and lead to the phenomenon of excessive sweating in the neck. Middle Jiao damp-heat accumulation of people, there will also be acid reflux, belching (hiccups), heartburn in the stomach, loss of appetite, chest tightness, stool odor and other symptoms. If a woman sleeps always neck sweat more, it is recommended to seek medical attention, follow the doctor’s instructions for examination and treatment, to avoid delaying the condition.
