Why do women sweat so much?

When the temperature rises in summer, it is easy to sweat. Sweating is a normal phenomenon, but some sweating is pathological due to certain physiological differences between men and women. Therefore, the causes of sweating are different. Generally speaking, the more common ones are weak spleen and stomach, insufficient diet and kidney deficiency. Let’s take a look at why women sweat so much.

(1) Weak spleen and stomach: The basic substances for the production of blood mainly come from the essence of water and grain produced by the spleen and stomach. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says: The middle burner receives qi and takes juice, which changes and turns red, and is called blood. "The Standards of Diagnosis and Treatment" says: The spleen and stomach are the father of qi and blood. A strong spleen and stomach function can transform the essence of food and water into Qi and blood. If one has an irregular diet or has liver and gallbladder diseases that affect the spleen and stomach, the spleen and stomach functions will be weakened, the essence will be insufficient, and there will be no source of metabolism, which will lead to blood deficiency over time. Blood deficiency can further cause dysfunction of other organs.

(2) Insufficient diet: The internal organs of the human body are nourished by Qi, blood, and body fluids, which are produced by the essence of water and grain. Yu Chang of the Qing Dynasty said in "Medical Laws": Eating more can produce blood, while eating less can not produce blood. If the amount of food consumed is insufficient and hunger occurs for a long time, the production of Qi and blood will be blocked, which will inevitably lead to blood deficiency. In addition, although the food intake is sufficient, if one is too picky about food, there will also be a lack of raw materials for blood production, resulting in insufficient biochemical sources, blood deficiency, and other diseases.

(3) Excessive blood loss: Excessive blood loss due to trauma, menorrhagia, or other chronic blood loss syndromes can all cause blood deficiency syndrome. In addition, due to bleeding, blood stasis will occur over time and the blood vessels will be blocked, which will cause rebleeding on the one hand and affect the production of new blood on the other hand, thereby aggravating blood deficiency.

(4) Kidney deficiency: The kidney stores essence, essence produces marrow, and essence and marrow can be transformed into blood. Insufficient congenital endowment, malnutrition and excessive sexual intercourse can all lead to kidney deficiency, and kidney deficiency leads to less essence, and lack of essence leads to blood deficiency.

(5) Overwork: Serious illness or prolonged illness consumes vital energy, or excessive sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, and bleeding damage yang energy and yin fluid; vigorous work consumes energy and damages qi and blood, which over time leads to qi deficiency and blood deficiency; excessive mental work can easily lead to the hidden consumption of yin blood and deficiency of heart blood, all of which can lead to blood deficiency.

Many female friends love to sweat, but they can never find the reason. The reasons why women sweat a lot have been summarized above. You can use the process of elimination to find the reasons from above. Since women have menstruation every month, it has a relatively large impact on their bodies. If you eat some blood-enriching foods appropriately, the sweating condition will be relieved.
