Health for All says
Sweating in the head is a common physiological phenomenon, but if it is too frequent or too pronounced, it can be a sign of some internal problem in the body. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, head sweating is mostly caused by three major reasons: fire, deficiency, and dampness and heat. This article will give you a detailed introduction to these three reasons and the corresponding treatment methods.
First of all, excessive sweating caused by fire refers to the excessive heat inside the body, which leads to an increase in body temperature, which in turn affects the normal secretion and excretion of sweat. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that prolonged depression, anxiety, overwork, irregular lifestyle habits, etc. may lead to fire and increase sweating in the head. Such people should try to stay comfortable psychologically and emotionally, and usually do more soothing exercises, such as yoga, walking, etc., and can also appropriately eat foods rich in fire-reducing effects, such as bitter gourd, chrysanthemum tea, etc.
Secondly, excessive sweating caused by deficiency is due to the lack of qi and blood in the human body, which causes the heat of the head to be unable to dissipate effectively, thus triggering the symptoms of sweating in the head. Such people should pay attention to maintaining adequate rest and sleep, and properly carry out qigong exercises, such as Tai Chi and Wufowl Opera, to help adjust the balance of yin and yang in the body. You can usually eat more foods that replenish qi and blood, such as red dates, black fungus, etc., and you can also try to take traditional Chinese medicine that has the effect of nourishing qi and nourishing yin, such as ginseng, yellow essence, etc.
Finally, excessive sweating caused by damp heat is caused by excessive moisture in the body, which causes a disturbance in the sweating function of the head. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people with a damp and hot constitution usually have symptoms such as yellow and greasy tongue coating, bitter and dry mouth, easy tiredness and discomfort. Such people should try to stay away from damp, spicy and greasy food, keep a light diet, and drink more tea, such as green tea, chrysanthemum tea, etc., which can play a role in clearing heat and dehumidifying. In addition, you can also properly carry out some dampness drainage**, such as aromatherapy**, moxibustion, etc., to help improve dampness and heat physique.
In general, excessive sweating of the head is generally caused by factors such as fire, deficiency, dampness and heat, and the specific conditioning method needs to be adjusted according to your own physique. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that maintaining mental balance, active exercise, dietary conditioning, and the use of appropriate Chinese medicine** can all play a certain role in improvement. If the symptoms of excessive sweating of the head persist or are accompanied by other physical discomforts, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly to clarify** and accordingly** according to the doctor's advice**.
