How to treat excessive sweating

Excessive sweating can be treated by medication and non-medication methods. However, since there are more causes of excessive sweating, such as lung qi deficiency, kidney yin deficiency, heart blood deficiency, etc., the specific treatment needs to be chosen according to the cause. 1. Lung qi deficiency: It often causes localized or half-body excessive sweating, aggravated by slight exertion. It can be treated by physical therapy methods such as moxibustion, acupuncture, cupping, etc., and can also be treated with the proprietary Chinese medicine Yu Ping Feng Granules. 2. Kidney Yin deficiency: often causes night sweating (abnormal sweating after going to sleep and stopping after waking up). It can be treated by consuming sweet, cool and moisturizing foods that nourish yin and promote the production of body fluid, keeping a good mindset and avoiding overwork, and also by using proprietary Chinese medicines such as Liouweidihuang Pill and Maiwei Dihuang Pill. 3. Deficiency of the heart’s blood: this often causes spontaneous sweating (involuntary sweating during the day, aggravated by the slightest movement of sweating) or night sweating. It can be treated by consuming foods that nourish the blood and the heart, taking rest and avoiding late nights, and using Chinese medicines such as Gui Spleen Pills. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination when sweating excessively, to clarify the cause of the disease, and to carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner.
