Why do the backs of my hands sweat so much?

The blood circulation in the body is relatively fast, and symptoms of blood heat will cause frequent sweating in various parts of the body. The backs of your hands also tend to sweat more often because they need to release more excess water from the body. Sweat and urine are both part of the body's metabolism. The reasons for sweating on the back of the hands are quite complicated, and there must be some organ weakness in the human body. Of course, this can be adjusted through diet, so why do the backs of your hands sweat?

(1) Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the back of the hand is where the hand Taiyin lung meridian, hand Shaoyang triple burner meridian, and hand Yangming large intestine meridian run. The back of the hand and head are prone to sweating, which is mostly caused by damp heat in the upper part of the body and excessive phlegm and dampness in the lungs. It is recommended that you take some medicines such as Qingfei Huatan Pills, Sanzi Yangqin Decoction, Yinqiao Powder, etc. to dispel wind and heat, clear the lungs and resolve phlegm. Avoid spicy and greasy food, tobacco and alcohol, do more aerobic exercise, and drinking chrysanthemum or green tea in water can also help clear lung heat. Avoid staying up late and strenuous exercise.

(2) If sweating only occurs on the head and back of the hands, then this is not considered an infectious disease and it is necessary to rule out the possibility that it is caused by nerve inflammation. Because this kind of local sweating is very rare. If a normal person has an infection and fever, he will sweat all over the body. So in your case, you need to go to the neurology department to further check the conduction problems of peripheral nerves. Judging from the symptoms, it is caused by qi deficiency and failure to consolidate the exterior. It is recommended to use Yupingfeng Granules for treatment. In the formula, Astragalus membranaceus nourishes the lungs and replenishes Qi, consolidates the exterior and stops sweating, and is the main medicine. Atractylodes macrocephala replenishes qi and strengthens the spleen. When used together with Astragalus, it can enhance the effect of strengthening the exterior and stopping sweating, so it is a minister drug; Saposhnikovia divaricata can move to the surface of the muscles and disperse wind evil, so it is an adjuvant drug. The combination of various medicines into a prescription can consolidate the exterior and not retain any evil, and eliminate any evil without harming the body. It is very suitable for lung and spleen deficiency, weak skin surface, spontaneous sweating, and qi deficiency colds.

(3) Hyperhidrosis refers to the phenomenon of abnormally increased sweating of the local or whole skin. It is mostly caused by endocrine disorders, hormone disorders or mental factors. Pay attention to improving your lifestyle habits and reducing behaviors that can induce excessive sweating. People with hyperhidrosis caused by mental factors should actively adjust their mentality and try to avoid mental tension, emotional excitement, anger, etc. Go to hospital for treatment if necessary.
