Sweating can be divided into physiological and pathological categories. Excessive sweating during hot weather or after intense physical activity is typically a physiological phenomenon. There are two common pathological causes of excessive sweating: one is night sweats, which occur unconsciously during deep sleep at night. The other is spontaneous sweating, which happens during the day without exertion, thick clothing, or heat, or even with slight activity, leading to profuse sweating. The main cause of spontaneous sweating is usually physical weakness or recovery from a serious illness. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes it is due to "insufficient lung qi and weak defensive yang." Treatment should follow the principle of "nourishing the lungs, replenishing qi, consolidating the exterior, and nourishing yin." Western ginseng or ginseng can be chewed, or Shengmai San and Yupingfeng Wan can be flexibly adjusted and used.
