Why do my hands and feet always sweat? What is the reason?

Some friends may have sweaty hands and feet in their daily life. Generally, this is caused by spleen deficiency or kidney deficiency. The body can be adjusted through dietary adjustments. Friends with slightly more serious conditions can take important medicine to help with treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine studies the causes of sweating hands and feet:

Traditional Chinese medicine experts remind that excessive sweating of hands and feet may be caused by spleen deficiency. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that “all swellings and fullnesses are related to the spleen”. When too much moisture accumulates in the spleen, it can cause excessive sweating. Normal people will excrete sweat out of the body through the skin and other organs, but people with spleen deficiency will have water and moisture not flow through the normal channels, and will sweat through the hands, feet and other parts of the body. This is called abnormal metabolism and is the main cause of foot odor caused by excessive foot sweat. People with damp-heat constitution are also prone to excessive sweating in their hands and feet, but the root cause of both is deficiency of the heart and spleen, weak spleen qi, or damp-heat blocking the middle part of the body.

1. Sweating of hands and feet caused by weak spleen and stomach

Cause: If you eat too much fatty and sweet food and have an irregular diet, your liver fire will be strong and damage your spleen and stomach, which may lead to spleen and stomach weakness. There is also a group of people who are born with a spleen deficiency. When the spleen and stomach functions weaken, dampness and heat will accumulate in the body. Dampness and heat tend to move downward, causing sweating in the hands and feet.

2. Sweating of hands and feet caused by Yin deficiency and blood heat

Cause: Some people sweat in their hands and feet and also have dry mouth, hot hands and feet, dry stools, etc. This is due to yin deficiency and blood heat.
