Sweating in the middle of the night in winter can be considered as a physiological factor, the quilt cover is too thick; or considered as a pathological factor, for night sweating (abnormal sweating after going to sleep, waking up sweating stops).
1. Physiological factors: If it is physiological factors, you only need to cover less blankets when you go to bed, and there is no serious situation, so you don’t need to worry too much.
2. Pathological factors: Night sweating is a disease in which sweating occurs during sleep and stops on its own when you wake up. It is mostly due to the weakness of long-time illness and the lack of solidity of lung and guard, resulting in abnormal sweat excretion; or due to emotional discomfort (emotional unhappiness), liver qi stagnation (poor qi and blood transportation of the liver and depression), abnormal sweat excretion; or due to the addiction to spicy and oily products, resulting in liver fire or dampness and heat, and the leakage of fluids.
Under the guidance of a doctor, medicines can be used to treat the symptoms. If it is caused by the lack of solidity of the lung guards, the treatment should be to benefit the qi and solidify the surface, which can be treated with Yu Ping Feng San; if it is caused by the deficiency of yin and fire (deficiency of yin and essence in the body, resulting in the exuberance of deficiency fire), the treatment should be to nourish yin and reduce fire (nourish yin and essence and reduce the fire), which can be treated by adding and subtracting angelica and six huang soup.
