Sweating is a physiological phenomenon of the human body. Hot weather, wearing too thick clothes, eating warm food, singing hot soup, hot porridge, emotional excitement, labor, exercise, etc., can make people sweat, which is a normal phenomenon. There is a kind of sweating is very "strange", that is, in the absence of heat, environmental changes and other external factors, and did not take drugs or labor, exercise, but in a more peaceful state, the body naturally sweating. This kind of sweating is called self-sweating.

Self-sweating, the root cause of kidney yang deficiency

Before exploring the root cause of self-sweating, let's take a look at the mechanism of sweating. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine - Qin Wen, yin and yang," said: "blocked in the yin is called sweat." Sweating requires the fulfillment of two conditions: one is yang, or heat, and the other is yin, or water. There is heat added to the water, causing the water vapor to evaporate, drain out through the pores, and condense into droplets on the skin, which is the process of sweating. This is equivalent to putting a pot on the stove, the pot poured into the cold water, if the fire is not under, the water will not have any change; if the bottom of the pot under the burning of a slight small fire pot of water will slowly become water vapor evaporation.

Sweat is part of the body fluid. The structure of the human body is very complex, although there is Yang Qi role in the Yin water, vaporization gasification, but the human body in order to maintain normal function, the body will find ways to keep these vaporized fluid. This is equivalent to adding a lid to the pot, so that the fluid will not just be drained out. This "lid" is the human Wei Qi.

If you have been using a small fire to slowly boil water, the vaporization of fluids will be a continuous slow process, fluids will not be easily discharged out of the body, unless the "fire" is too strong to open the lid of the pot, or the "lid" itself is a problem. Usually, the yin and yang in the human body are relatively calm, and the "lid" is relatively strong, so the above situation will not occur. However, if there is a hole in the "lid", as long as the fire in the body is a little bit bigger, the sweat will flow out by itself. This situation is self-sweat.

The "lid" is also known as Wei Qi, which is generated by the operation of the kidneys, spleen and lungs, and needs to be stimulated by the kidneys, the spleen and stomach, the lungs of the transmission **** with the completion. The kidney is the origin of the innate, is a fire, all of the body's visceral functions are dependent on the warmth and support of the kidney Yang, Wei Qi is no exception. If the kidney is weak and weakened, Wei Qi can not be generated properly, resulting in the skin and muscle surface is not solid; the spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, water and grain essence need to be transported by the spleen, the kidney is weak and weakened to "support" the work of the spleen, so that the qi and blood biochemistry is insufficient, the tissues and organs can not be well nourished there is no power to work well, so the role of out of the Wei Qi is weaker and more broken, and the place of the The most important thing to remember is that you can't resist the overflow of sweat.

Therefore, the regulation of self-sweat, in addition to convergence of sweat to stop sweating, but also from the kidney theory of treatment, warm Yang solid surface.

Benefiting the qi and solidifying the surface to stop sweating, astragalus to help

In terms of qi tonic medicine, astragalus is the first. Astragalus can replenish the middle, solid surface to stop sweating, its solid surface effect is no less than the ginseng, and its nature is more gentle than ginseng, complementary but not dry. In Chinese medicine, commonly used oyster powder, Yu Ping Feng San to treat Yang deficiency self-sweating, which are not missing astragalus.

Astragalus and epiphyllum soup is also commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat spontaneous sweating of Yang deficiency. Take raw astragalus, made from epiphyllum, ginger, red dates, decocted with water.

Astragalus benefits the qi and strengthens the epidermis, appendicitis warms the yang and supports the guards, ginger and jujubes harmonize the camp and guards.
