Let's talk about the health things of Lichun
Fan Letter】Hello dear doctor! I've recently found myself sweating easily, especially in the summer or when I'm emotional, which bothers me. I've heard that it's related to physique, so how do you check what kind of sweaty constitution you belong to? Hope to get your guidance and help.
Popular science answers] Dear fans, hello! Thank you very much for your email. Sweaty constitution is usually related to three constitutions, namely qi deficiency constitution, yin deficiency constitution, and damp heat constitution. Below, I will introduce the characteristics of each of these three constitutions and how to conduct self-examination.
1.Qi deficiency constitution: People with qi deficiency constitution often feel tired and weak, speak in a low voice, sweat more after exercise, and feel that their physical strength decreases significantly after sweating. In addition, they may also experience symptoms such as paleness, shortness of breath, and loss of appetite. If you find that you have these characteristics, you may have a qi deficiency constitution.
2.Yin deficiency constitution: People with yin deficiency constitution are prone to symptoms such as dry mouth, bitter mouth, dry throat, and dry eyes, as well as irritability and poor sleep quality at night. Their sweating is mostly due to a lack of yin fluid, which leads to a high level of yang energy, and they are prone to sweating at night or when they are emotional. If you have these symptoms, you may have a yin deficiency constitution.
3.Damp-heat constitution: People with damp-heat constitution often feel heavy, easily fatigued, greasy, and prone to acne on the face. They sweat a lot, especially on their head and back, and have a foul smell. In addition, people with a damp and hot constitution may also have digestive problems such as constipation or diarrhea. If you have these characteristics, you may have a damp heat constitution.
I can give you some advice on these three types of sweat types:
1.Qi deficiency physique: It is recommended that you pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, and do some gentle exercises, such as tai chi, yoga, etc., to help enhance your physique. In terms of diet, eat more foods that nourish qi and blood, such as red dates, longan, beef, etc.
2.Yin deficiency constitution: It is recommended that you maintain sufficient water intake and eat more foods that nourish yin and reduce fire, such as white fungus, wolfberry, chrysanthemum, etc. At the same time, avoid overexertion and emotional agitation, and maintain a good work and rest routine.
3.Damp and hot constitution: It is recommended that you eat a light diet and eat more foods that promote dampness and heat, such as red beans, barley, bitter gourd, etc. At the same time, increasing the amount of exercise appropriately helps to expel moisture from the body.
Finally, I would like to remind you that if you are unsure about your constitution, or if your sweating problem seriously affects your daily life, it is recommended that you go to the hospital and seek the help of a professional doctor in order to get a more accurate diagnosis and**. We hope you find this information helpful and wish you good health!
