Spleen deficiency can lead to excessive sweating of the head, and generally, if it is mild, there will be no sweating. However, when the condition is severe, it can lead to physical weakness, which in turn causes excessive head sweating. For patients with spleen deficiency, it is also crucial to manage the condition early. Firstly, one can eat more foods that strengthen the spleen, such as Chinese yam and coix seeds, which have spleen-strengthening effects and can be effectively managed. Most importantly, one should avoid excessive fatigue, not rush, maintain a cheerful mood, and ensure good daily routines to achieve good management.

Is excessive sweating due to qi deficiency?

In clinical practice, it is common to see that qi deficiency often leads to excessive sweating, but does excessive sweating always indicate qi deficiency? Not necessarily. There are three reasons for excessive sweating: The first reason is qi deficiency, the second reason is damp-heat, and the third reason is yin deficiency. As you can see, excessive sweating is not always due to qi deficiency; it can also be due to yin deficiency or damp-heat. There is also a condition of excessive sweating due to congenitally active sweat glands, which is not caused by qi deficiency but is instead a hereditary factor. Therefore, excessive sweating is not necessarily always due to qi deficiency.

What is excessive sweating and night sweats?

The causes of excessive sweating and night sweats are often considered to be due to a relatively weak constitution or frequent staying up late.

Mainly, medicines that boost qi and nourish yin, such as ginseng and longan, are used. These can effectively replenish yang and qi and provide effective conditioning.

The difference between hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is generally a disease caused by one's own endocrine imbalance or hormonal levels. The most characteristic symptom of this disease is increased sweating, such as excessive sweating from the armpits, groin, or palms, especially after exercise or staying up late, but there is no abnormal odor. Bromhidrosis is a type of hereditary disease, characterized by excessive sweating from both armpits and a strong odor, which can start showing symptoms from puberty. Bromhidrosis cannot be completely eradicated, while hyperhidrosis can be cured through proper medical treatment. The most common treatment for bromhidrosis is surgical removal of the large sweat glands, which can reduce or alleviate the odor, but cannot eradicate it completely.

What vitamin is lacking in excessive sweating?

Excessive sweating generally occurs and is mostly considered to be caused by a lack of trace elements, such as a deficiency in zinc or calcium. Effective conditioning can initially be achieved through calcium supplementation, for instance, by consuming more foods and fruits like eggs, fish, lean meat, shrimp, rib soup, egg soup, Chinese cabbage, leafy greens, bananas, grapefruits, and oranges. These can greatly help replenish the calcium the body is lacking and contain trace elements that can lead to significant improvements. Regular physical exercise is also necessary, as it can increase the body's resistance and effectively prevent diseases.
