What causes sweaty palms? Causes of sweaty palms

In life, many people have the problem of sweating palms, but they don’t understand what is going on? Some people are not fat, but their palms sweat easily. What is the reason for this? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sweating can promote metabolism and excrete toxins from the body, but if there is abnormal sweating, you should pay attention. Let’s look at the causes of sweaty palms.

Causes of sweaty palms

First of all, we need to rule out whether it is caused by disease. Generally speaking, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, hypertension, congestive heart failure, hemiplegia, spinal trauma, tumors, tuberculosis, etc. can cause abnormal sweating and be accompanied by obvious corresponding symptoms. In this case, it is necessary to control the condition promptly and then the excessive sweating can be resolved. Of course, in most cases there is abnormal sweating without obvious symptoms of disease, which can be summarized as follows.

According to the time of sweating: one is excessive sweating during the day. Regardless of winter or summer, sweating often occurs during the day when there is no activity or only slight activity. These people often have characteristics such as physical weakness, low voice, poor appetite, and susceptibility to colds. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is a manifestation of qi deficiency. This type of people can choose yam, soy milk, beef and mutton, etc. They can also stew chicken or bone marrow with Codonopsis pilosula or Astragalus to nourish the body and relieve qi deficiency. You can also improve your physical fitness through soothing movements and a combination of dynamic and static exercises, such as practicing Tai Chi and Ba Duan Jin.

Another is night sweating. Sweating while sleeping and stopping sweating when waking up is called "night sweats" in traditional Chinese medicine. These people often have symptoms such as hot palms and feet, irritability, red and hot face, and dry mouth and throat, which Chinese medicine believes are manifestations of yin deficiency. This type of people can choose yin-nourishing foods such as lily and pear, eat less hot foods such as mutton, onion, onion, ginger, garlic, etc., and they can also drink water soaked with Adenophora, Ophiopogon japonicus, Schisandra chinensis or American ginseng.

According to the location of sweating: one is excessive sweating on the head. If excessive sweating occurs on the head and face after overeating, and at the same time you feel bloating in the upper abdomen, thirst, and don't want to eat, it is mostly food accumulation, which can be relieved by reducing the amount of food intake, eating a light diet, or taking some digestive medicine; if accompanied by heavy and weak limbs, stomach bloating and discomfort, nausea, fever, thick and yellow greasy tongue coating, it is a manifestation of damp heat in the spleen and stomach, and you should pay attention to a light diet. It is normal for children to have slight sweat on their heads while sleeping; however, if accompanied by restless sleep, restlessness, easy fright, thinning hair, etc., timely diagnosis and treatment is required. In addition, the elderly and women who are weak after childbirth may also experience excessive sweating on their heads, which is mostly due to qi deficiency.
