Many female friends have reported that they always sweat on their backs when they sleep at night, and sometimes their pajamas are wet after waking up.

When women sweat while sleeping at night, it is generally called night sweats.

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe that night sweats are a manifestation of kidney deficiency, and that "sweat is the fluid of the heart." If night sweats persist for a long time, the damage to the heart yin is very serious and should be actively treated. Night sweats can be effectively treated with diet therapy (but some people believe that medication is more effective), because night sweats are mostly caused by yin deficiency and internal heat, it is appropriate to eat more foods that have the effects of nourishing yin and cooling blood, reducing fire and moistening dryness, and promoting fluid and quenching thirst. Therefore, you can often eat foods that replenish qi and nourish the kidneys, such as yam (which is a traditional Chinese medicine itself), cashews, animal kidneys, etc., and eat more fresh vegetables that nourish yin and clear heat, so that the secretory function of the sweat glands can be restored firmly on the basis of body health. Avoid eating spicy and warm foods such as pepper, cinnamon, dog meat, mutton, sparrow meat, etc., and do not drink alcohol.

How should patients with night sweats take care of themselves?

1. Bedding, bed boards, pajamas, etc. should be washed or dried frequently to keep them dry, and you should take a bath frequently to reduce the irritation of sweat to the skin.

2. Maintain the traditional sleep pattern of giving equal emphasis to the morning and evening, and taking a nap in the afternoon. As long as you form a routine that suits you, there is no need to force yourself to change it. But the basic needs and basic physiological laws of sleep are the same. Whether you go to bed early and get up early, or go to bed late and get up late, the approximate sleep time and sleep cycle are the same. Also, if you don’t sleep well one night, don’t try to make up for the sleep the next day to avoid creating a vicious cycle.

3. Night sweats can be effectively treated with diet therapy, and you should also pay attention to strengthening exercise, but also pay more attention to rest to prevent excessive fatigue.

4. Good sleeping habits can help you get the best sleep and achieve full rest. Soak your feet in hot water before going to bed, try to stay there for a long time, drink a cup of hot milk, and listen to some light music. This is also very helpful because several acupoints on the soles of the feet have a good effect on kidney deficiency.

5. Appropriately 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.

6. Soothe the disturbed mind: Psychological disturbance is the cause of insomnia for most people. Maintaining a peaceful mind, being tolerant towards others, and leading a positive and optimistic life are extremely beneficial to having a good sleep.
