The impact and treatment of excessive sweating in summer on health

Sweating is a common thing in summer, but excessive sweating in summer is not a good thing. Traditional Chinese medicine points out that sweating in different parts of the body reflects different health conditions. So in summer, what are the symptoms of excessive sweating in the armpits, palms, soles of feet, back and other parts? How to regulate it? Please see the analysis below!

1. Excessive sweating under the armpits

1. Symptoms reflected: Qi deficiency.

2. Conditioning method: move less to replenish qi.

3. Causes and treatment methods: There are many apocrine glands in the armpits, so there is more sweat. But if the sweat secretion is too vigorous, it is mostly because the diameter of the sweat glands is too large, which usually occurs in men. If a girl sweats a lot under her armpits, it may be due to qi deficiency, which is often accompanied by shortness of breath, fatigue, and dizziness. Men with enlarged sweat glands can go to the hospital for laser treatment, or maintain a light diet to avoid strong odors. Ladies with qi deficiency are advised not to do extensive exercise in the summer, but to focus on slow and quiet exercise and eat more yam to replenish qi.

2. Excessive sweating in the palms and soles of feet

1. Symptoms reflected: heavy dampness and heat.

2. Conditioning method: Eat more bitter and melon.

3. Causes and treatment methods: Sweating on the palms and soles of feet indicates heavy dampness and heat. People with severe dampness and heat usually have sticky stools, dry and bitter mouth, and love to drink water. In this case, we need to remove heat, eliminate dampness and strengthen the spleen. Eat more foods that clear away heat, relieve summer heat, remove dampness and strengthen the spleen, such as bitter foods such as bitter melon and chicory, melons such as cucumber, watermelon, and winter melon, and spleen-strengthening foods such as coix seed, yam, and shiitake mushrooms.

3. Excessive sweating on the back

1. Symptoms reflected: deficiency of both Yin and Yang.

2. Conditioning method: nourish yin and warm yang.

Massaging the Shenshu points on both sides of the waist every day can help nourish the kidneys and nourish Yin, while warming Yang emphasizes warming and supplementing, and eating foods such as red dates, longan, and black fungus often.
