What is the reason for cold sweating in the lower limbs

The health condition of a person's body can be discovered by looking at his or her behavior in daily life. A normal and healthy person is in very good physical condition, is not prone to disease, and it can be seen that the person has a good physique. But if a person is prone to abnormal situations, such as feeling cold and sweating easily in normal weather conditions. This indicates that the body is weak, so what is the reason for cold and sweaty lower limbs?

Yang deficiency is a term in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It refers to the pathological phenomena of deficiency of Yang Qi in the body, decreased or weakened function, decreased metabolic activity, low body reactivity, and insufficient Yang heat. Yang Qi has the function of warming the limbs and internal organs. If Yang is deficient, the body's functions will be impaired and signs of deficiency and cold will easily appear. Common ones include stomach yang deficiency, spleen yang deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, etc. The main symptoms of yang deficiency are fear of cold, cold limbs, pale complexion, loose stools, clear and long urine, and a deep, weak pulse.

Causes and pathogenesis: congenital deficiency and weak constitution; irregular sexual intercourse and depletion of kidney qi; excessive fatigue, which depletes vital energy and injures the body and qi; excessive emotions, which damage the internal organs and may not recover over time; irregular diet, which damages the spleen and stomach, and cannot transform and produce essence, resulting in qi and blood deficiency, which cannot be harmonized in the five internal organs internally, and cannot be distributed to the six bowels externally, leading to gradual deficiency of both the inside and the outside; irregular living habits, excessive work and rest, which damage the mind and body, and deplete qi and blood; exogenous six evils, which are delayed and not treated, and the external evils enter the interior, damaging the internal organs, which will deplete vital energy over time and may not recover; failure to recuperate after a serious illness. It is nothing more than two factors: nature and nurture.

Clinical manifestations

1. Fear of cold and cold limbs are the main symptoms of yang deficiency. Yang Energy is like the sun in nature. If Yang Energy is insufficient, the internal environment will be in a "cold" state.

2. Undigested food refers to undigested food mixed in the stool. The ancients had a vivid metaphor to describe the occurrence of this phenomenon. The digestion of food is like cooking raw rice into cooked rice, the stomach is like the pot for cooking, and the yang energy is like the fire for cooking. Without "fire", rice cannot be cooked into "rice". Therefore, when the Yang Qi is insufficient, the food that enters the stomach cannot be well "roasted" (digested) and is directly discharged from the intestines.

3. Lack of spirit and insufficient Yang energy cause the decline of cellular vital activities, resulting in lethargy and laziness.

4. The tongue is pale and fat, or has tooth marks. The consumption and metabolism of water in the body depends on the transpiration of Yang Qi. If the Yang Qi is weak and the water is insufficiently consumed by evaporation, excess water will accumulate in the body, causing an enlarged tongue. The tongue is enlarged and has tooth marks due to being squeezed by the teeth.

5. The pulse is deep, thin and weak. It indicates that the Yang Qi is insufficient and cannot stimulate the arteries.
