Chinese medicine has a profound understanding of night sweats for a long time, which was called "sleeping sweat" in Huangdi Neijing, a book written in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. "Sleeping" means sleeping, and there is an idiom called "forgetting to sleep and eat", which means not sleeping and forgetting to eat. Obviously, "sleeping sweat" means sweating while sleeping. In the Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage, vividly named people sweating in their sleep with "night sweats" in the book synopsis of the golden chamber. Since then, doctors of all ages have used some names. Up to now, both doctors and people in other industries know what kind of symptoms night sweats are.
Some patients suffer from night sweats as soon as they fall asleep, some sleep until midnight, and some just close their eyes for a while. The amount of sweat is very different. According to the clinical manifestations of night sweats, it can be divided into three types: light, medium and heavy.
Most patients with mild night sweats are prone to sweat when they fall asleep deeply, or at 5 o'clock in the morning or before waking up1~ 2 hours, and the amount of sweat is small. Only when they wake up, they feel a little sweaty all over the body or some parts of the body, and no sweat is released again after waking up. Generally not accompanied by uncomfortable feeling.
Most patients with medium-sized night sweats can sweat out soon after falling asleep, or even make their sleeping clothes wet. When they wake up, they stop sweating. After wiping the sweat on their bodies, they will stop sweating when they fall asleep again. In this type of night sweats, patients often feel hot and sweaty, and sometimes feel dry mouth and throat after waking up.
Patients with severe night sweats are prone to sweat. Soon after falling asleep or when I just close my eyes and am about to fall asleep, there will be a lot of sweat pouring out at night, and I can wake up after sweating, and the sweat can converge instantly after waking up. You can sweat again when you fall asleep. Sweating is large, and the sweat often has a light salty taste, or it is mixed with sweat and odor at the same time. Sweat can even make the bedding wet, and you can't sleep well unless you change your sleeping clothes several times a night. Some severe patients can make the bedding wet, and when the bedding is thin or the mat is used, sweat can print sweat marks on the bed board. These patients are often accompanied by obvious feeling of baking, and their mood is also irritable. They are thirsty after sweating and like cold water. Usually, it may be accompanied by low fever or hot flashes, five-upset fever, red cheekbones, dizziness, emaciation, fatigue, dark urine, less urine and dry stool.
Light and medium night sweats will not do much harm to the body, but patients with severe night sweats will often worsen their condition for a long time and develop into "symptoms", which seriously threatens their health and life safety.
Night sweats are a common clinical symptom, especially those who have suffered from various chronic diseases for a long time and are weak.

Night sweats and food therapy
Traditional Chinese medicine can be divided into "moving sweat" and "static sweat". Sweating caused by weather and environment belongs to static sweating, which is equivalent to passive sweating. Many abnormal static sweating needs attention, such as spontaneous sweating and night sweats. Some people will sweat on their forehearts and backs when they are not hot or exercising, and they are prone to fatigue, colds and palpitations, especially afraid of wind and cold. This is called spontaneous sweating, which is a manifestation of qi deficiency. Sweating as soon as you fall asleep at night is called night sweat, which is a manifestation of yin deficiency. Different parts of sweating can reflect a person's physical condition. Excessive sweating on the forehead and face is a manifestation of stagnation and excessive internal heat, which is easy to be agitated, bitter in mouth and yellow in urine; Sweating in front of the heart and back is due to heart qi deficiency, which is easy to palpitation, insomnia, dreaminess and forgetfulness.

For example, Materia Medica from the New says that it "protects the lungs and benefits the kidneys." "The Test of Medicinal Properties" also says: "Cordyceps is secret and lean, and it is specially designed to fill the life door." "Little Knowledge of the Orange Garden" also said: "Soak several spats with wine to cure the pain between the waist and knees, which is beneficial to the kidney." Anyone with kidney deficiency is best to stew with 4 grams of Fulinmen Cordyceps sinensis containing more amino acids and meat such as lean pork, chicken or duck.

Causes of night sweats in children
Night sweats can be divided into physiological and pathological, and all the causes and diseases that affect the body's thermoregulatory center and increase the excitability of sympathetic nerves can cause night sweats in children. As parents, children should be carefully observed and judged after comprehensive analysis, and drugs should not be taken blindly to avoid adverse consequences.
Night sweats physiological night sweats
In childhood, the skin is very tender, contains more water, is rich in capillaries, has vigorous metabolism, and the autonomic nerve regulation function is not perfect, so it is easy to sweat during activities. If children have too much activity before going to sleep, the functional metabolism of various organs in the body is active, which can increase the body's heat production. During sleep, skin blood vessels dilate, sweat glands secrete more and sweat profusely, which is beneficial to heat dissipation. Secondly, eating before going to bed can enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, increase the secretion of gastric juice and sweat glands, which can cause children to sweat more after falling asleep, especially within the first 2 hours of falling asleep. In addition, if the indoor temperature is too high, or the quilt cover is too thick, or when using electric blankets, it can cause sweating during sleep.
Night sweats pathological night sweats
Some children sweat more than midnight after falling asleep, which is often caused by low blood calcium. Low calcium can easily increase the excitability of sympathetic nerve, just like turning on the "faucet" of sweat gland, which is especially common in children with rickets. However, night sweats are not unique manifestations of rickets. We should make a comprehensive analysis according to the feeding situation and outdoor activities of children, and also check blood calcium, blood phosphorus and wrist X-ray films to determine whether children have active rickets.
Menopausal night sweats diet conditioning
Night sweats are one of the common symptoms of menopausal women, which often make menopausal women particularly embarrassed and even cause insomnia at night. Therefore, menopausal women must take some measures to alleviate the symptoms of menopausal night sweats. Besides routine treatment, what can menopausal night sweats eat to alleviate them?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fruits are moist and rich in juice, and they have many functions such as tonifying deficiency, nourishing yin, promoting fluid production, relieving restlessness, promoting digestion and appetizing. Regular moderate consumption can nourish yin, reduce fire, promote fluid production and quench thirst, replenish deficiency and strengthen body resistance, which is a good food therapy for menopausal night sweats. Modern research also believes that the nutrients in fruits mainly include vitamins, inorganic salts, organic acids, sugar and so on. Therefore, menopausal women with night sweats should eat more cool and nourishing fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon, pear, citrus, orange, apple, persimmon, loofah, lily, tomato, fresh lotus root, tremella, lotus seed and turtle, and avoid spicy and irritating products.
What does menopausal night sweats eat? Here are three therapeutic prescriptions, which you can choose according to your own situation:
1.6 grams of bird's nest, 9 grams of tremella, and appropriate amount of ice water. Soak bird's nest and tremella in hot water, wash them, add rock sugar, stew them in water and take them. Every morning and evening 1 time, continuous service10 ~15 days.
2. Fresh lily1000g, lotus root powder 500g, and proper amount of sugar. Wash lily, dry it in the sun or oven, grind it into powder, and bottle it tightly for later use. Lily powder and lotus root powder 1 spoon each, add 2 ~ 3 spoons of cold water to make it thin, then soak it in boiling water, add sugar and mix well, and take it twice a day, and take it 1 month.
3. 300g of fresh lily, female duck 1 bird (about1500g), and appropriate amount of yellow wine, fine salt and white wine. Slaughter the live duck, after washing, put the washed lily into the duck's viscera, pour 2 spoons of yellow wine, sprinkle with fine salt 1 spoon, finally put the duck's head into the abdomen, tie the duck with white thread, and steam it over high fire until the duck is crisp and rotten. Eat on an empty stomach before meals 1 small bowl twice a day.
What diseases may it be?
Night sweats hyperthyroidism
Due to hyperthyroidism, excessive thyroxine is secreted, and the metabolic rate is increased, which is characterized by increased nerve excitability. Excessive excitement of sympathetic nerves may lead to fear of heat, excessive sweating, and night sweats.
Night sweats and diabetes
The main cause of hyperhidrosis in diabetic patients is autonomic nerve dysfunction and sympathetic nerve excitation, which leads to increased sweat gland secretion; Secondly, the increased metabolic rate of blood sugar is also one of the reasons for hyperhidrosis in diabetic patients.
Night sweat tuberculosis
Night sweat is one of the symptoms of tuberculosis poisoning, which is the result of autonomic nervous system dysfunction caused by the stimulation of the central nervous system by the toxin of tuberculosis and its metabolites.
Night sweat tumor
Night sweats are also one of the common symptoms of tumor patients.
Night sweats and others
In addition, hypertension, menopausal syndrome, hypoglycemia, systemic lupus erythematosus, endocarditis and other diseases, as well as postoperative physical weakness, mental stress, psychological stress and other factors may cause night sweats. However, most night sweats are caused by autonomic nerve dysfunction, and its pathogenesis is mainly caused by abnormal excitement of sympathetic nerve.
Menopausal night sweats are a common phenomenon, which is explained by the argument of western medicine because of the coming of menopause, which leads to the disorder of endocrine and autonomic nerve function. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is explained as internal heat due to yin deficiency, hyperactivity of deficiency yang and fluid instability. Therefore, nourishing yin is the main treatment. Although menopausal night sweats are a normal phenomenon, they still need treatment if they seriously affect daily life.
Hyperhidrosis (sweating and night sweats)
Hyperhidrosis is a medical term for excessive sweating, that is, the human body sweats abnormally much, and some patients still have low fever or are afraid of the wind. Although some systemic diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, obesity, diabetes and tuberculosis, can cause hyperhidrosis, most hyperhidrosis is caused by autonomic nerve disorder, and its pathogenesis is mainly caused by abnormal excitement of sympathetic nerve. If the patient has made various tests and there is no problem, it can be determined that it is caused by autonomic nerve disorder.
Chinese medicine diet therapy Shashen rabbit meat soup: this soup nourishes yin, benefits qi and stops sweating. 20g of Radix Adenophorae, 20g of Polygonatum odoratum, 4g of Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, 200g of rabbit meat (slightly roasted), and making soup.
Mulberry tea: this tea nourishes yin and stops sweating. 20g of mulberry seeds, 0g of Schisandra chinensis15g, and 45g of glutinous rice root, and decocted with water instead of tea.
Self-maintenance
Chinese medicine believes that "sweat is the heart fluid". If night sweats persist for a long time, the heart yin is very damaged and should be actively treated. At the same time of treatment, we should pay special attention to self-care. There are mainly the following points:
(1) At the same time of drug treatment, we should strengthen necessary physical exercise, develop regular living habits, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest.
(2) In terms of diet, it is necessary to explore the rules of diet avoidance that are beneficial or harmful to one's own illness and syndrome, and carry out diet therapy and recuperation that is most suitable for one's own. Patients with yin deficiency, blood heat and hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency should abstain from spicy hot food, do not drink alcohol, and eat more fresh vegetables for nourishing yin and clearing heat, so that the secretion function of sweat glands can be firmly restored on the basis of body health [1]? .
(3) When conditions permit, properly adjust the temperature and humidity of the living environment. For example, the living environment of people with yin deficiency and blood heat should be slightly cooler.
(4) Patients' bedding, bedding, pajamas, etc. should be removed and washed or aired frequently to keep dry, and should take a bath frequently to reduce the irritation of sweat to the skin.
(5) Family members of patients with severe night sweats and long-term bed rest should pay special attention to strengthening nursing to avoid bedsores. Also pay attention to observe the patient's complexion, consciousness and sweating, and report to the doctor in time if there are any special changes.

Through the above nonsense, we know that the treatment of night sweats is divided into different situations, and we know that there are too many TCM syndromes of night sweats, and some professionals still make mistakes from time to time, which is even more difficult for the majority of netizens. Next, the author tries to make a comprehensive analysis from the following aspects: the level of different types of clinical incidence, the size of indications of various treatments and prescriptions, and the presence or absence of harm if they are not symptomatic, and draws a conclusion, which is like the 1 scheme, the 2 nd scheme and the 3 rd scheme that are common in movies. It is planned to act according to plan 1. If the situation changes, it will act according to plan 2, and so on. So what does the change here mean? It is "hiding traitors alone", and I will emphasize it in detail after each prescription. That is to say, you should have chosen 1 scheme, but by comparing the contents, you find that you have several situations consistent with what I emphasized, which means that the situation has changed, and the second scheme of the bank is like this. The purpose of this paper is to make the complicated situation as clear as possible through a little space. However, the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, and the author has a poor knowledge. If you can't check it, please don't be surprised, just throw a brick to attract jade.

Those who are deficient in yang can't be consolidated, and those who are deficient in yin can't accept it, so they must be good at night sweats. "

When it comes to night sweats due to yin deficiency, the Danggui Liuhuang Decoction, which most doctors think of, was said by Cheng Guozhang in Medical Mind Enlightenment in Qing Dynasty: "Danggui Liuhuang Decoction used in ancient times is too cold for people with yin deficiency, and the yin is already weak and it hurts their yang more. How can it be intact?" It is very reasonable. Chinese medicine has a saying that "minor illnesses regulate qi and blood, while serious illnesses regulate yin and yang", so it is easy to start from the big picture when looking at the illness. This prescription mainly benefits yin, and does not forget to support yang and subdue yang. Yin deficiency must reach yang, and yin and yang must be reconciled, and its syndrome must be cured. This prescription should not be cold, take care of yin and yang, and use it carefully. It can be said that anyone who suffers from night sweats due to yin deficiency without other problems such as phlegm heat and blood stasis will have great effect.
