Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) classifies sweating after waking up in the morning as Yin deficiency, Zhengqi weakness, kidney deficiency and other syndromes, and commonly used formulas include Angelica Six Yellow Soup, Jade Screen Fung San, and Six Flavors of the Earth Pill. It should be chosen according to the symptoms.
1. Angelica Six Horns Soup: its main effects are clearing deficiency heat, nourishing yin and diarrhea, and generating fluids and restraining sweat. The key herb in the formula is Angelica sinensis, which can treat blood deficiency and yellowish color, yin deficiency and fire, etc. It has the effect of nourishing yin and astringing the lungs (astringing the lung qi) for patients who sweat after waking up early.
It should not be used when fever and night sweating are accompanied by symptoms of weakness of the spleen and stomach such as poor appetite and loose stools.
2. Yupingfeng San: its main effect is to benefit the qi and consolidate the surface to stop sweating (stop sweating by consolidating the surface of the muscle), etc. It is suitable for sweating caused by deficiency of the spleen and lung qi, and deficiency of the wei qi (insufficient positive qi to defend the surface of the human body), which is caused by deficiency of the surface and spontaneous sweating (due to the weakness of the surface of the body and the frequent sweating of the body naturally).
3. Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (六味地黄丸): its main effect is to nourish yin and tonify the kidney, and is suitable for kidney yin deficiency, tidal fever (a burst of heat, feeling that the heat is penetrating from inside the bone to the outside), and night sweating and seminal emission. The key herb in its formula is Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata, which can treat kidney yin deficiency and yin deficiency and fire. This formula should not be used by patients with Yang deficiency.
Patients who need treatment should go to regular medical institutions and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
