What causes sweating all over the body?

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, sweating all over the body may be caused by actual heat, or it may be caused by spontaneous sweating (involuntary sweating during the day, aggravated by sweating with slight movement) or night sweating (abnormal sweating after going to sleep, and sweating stops after waking up), and so on. 1. Actual heat: People with dampness-heat will force sweat out of the body due to heavy dampness and actual heat in the body, leading to sweating all over the body. This kind of people are usually strong, and also accompanied by symptoms such as bitter mouth, bad breath, dry stools, and yellow and greasy tongue. 2. Self-sweating: Self-sweating is involuntary sweating during the day, and sweating is more when you move a little. It is usually caused by qi deficiency, as qi is insufficient to fix (consolidate) sweat, thus the phenomenon of sweating occurs all over the body. 3. Night sweating: Night sweating is sweating during sleep at night, which usually stops when you wake up. It is usually caused by a deficiency of yin qi, which leads to excessive yang qi, thus leading to sweating all over the body. There are many other causes of generalized sweating, and if the sweating is more serious, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
