Excessive sweating

Other Names:
Hyperhidrosis
Excessive perspiration
Spontaneous sweating
Nature:

In Chinese medicine, spontaneous sweating indicates that protective qi is not properly regulating the pores and that there may be a pattern of deficient yang or deficient qi.

Incidence:

Hyperhidrosis, an overactivity of the sweat glands whose cause is unknown, makes people sweat so profusely that they are often humiliated at school or work. Their clothes may be drenched with sweat at normal room temperature. Sweaty palms prevent them from shaking hands comfortably, gripping a tool securely or working normally at a keyboard.
