The head is sweating but the body is not

Sweating on the head but not on the body generally indicates abnormal gland function. To check the function of sweat glands, you must go to a regular hospital and have a regular examination. If the sweat gland function is normal, you should consider whether it is caused by cold and dampness. Furthermore, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, cold and dampness will cause qi deficiency, so you should pay more attention to diet adjustment, eat more foods that warm the spleen and stomach, and avoid spicy foods. Let me explain the specific situation below.

It is very likely that the symptoms are caused by abnormal gland function. Of course, the possibility of excessive sweating through the pores under the scalp cannot be ruled out. Further investigation of the hormone and gland conditions is needed. It is recommended that you first have a gland examination, especially a six-item hormone examination, to observe the changes in hormones. Of course, you should also pay attention to proper vitamin supplementation in your diet.

Considering that the pain is caused by cold and dampness, qi deficiency and superficial deficiency, the treatment should focus on strengthening the exterior, clearing dampness and warming the body. It is recommended to go to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to take Chinese medicine for conditioning. At the same time, you can do acupuncture, physical therapy, massage and other treatments. You can also use Chinese patent medicines for treatment. Commonly used medicines include Tongluo Chubi Pills and Fangfeng Tongsheng Powder. At the same time, you should pay attention to avoid cold wind, exercise more, and eat more warm and spicy foods.

Cold and dampness is a disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold and dampness include two aspects: exogenous cold and dampness and endogenous cold and dampness. Exogenous cold and dampness: Exogenous cold and dampness evil qi obstructs the circulation of Qi and blood. Endogenous cold and dampness: Cold and dampness are trapped inside the body and damage the spleen yang, or spleen and kidney yang are deficient and cold and dampness stagnate inside the body.

The common symptoms of exogenous cold and dampness are pain in joints, tendons and bones; the common symptoms of endogenous cold and dampness are fear of cold, cold limbs, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or edema.

1. When cold and dampness stay in the meridians and joints, you should use drugs that can eliminate rheumatism and dredge the meridians. Most Chinese medicinal vines have this effect; different Chinese medicinal materials should be selected according to the differences between the upper and lower limbs of the body. For example, Notopterygium wilfordii is generally used for the upper limbs, while Duhuo is mostly used for the lower limbs.

2. When cold and dampness evil stays in the internal organs, you should choose dampness-removing or dampness-drying drugs that can enter the internal organs. Such as Patchouli, Tangerine Peel, Pinellia, Magnolia Officinalis, etc.

3. The use of medicine to treat cold and dampness also depends on the specific cause of the cold and dampness. Cold and dampness are divided into external dampness and internal dampness. External dampness is mostly due to cold and dampness of the six exogenous evils; internal dampness is mostly due to insufficient yang energy in the internal organs, especially internal dampness caused by yang deficiency of the spleen and kidneys. External dampness should be eliminated, while internal dampness should be warmed and replenished to the yang energy of the internal organs.
