What causes excessive sweating in summer

Sweating a lot in summer is a normal phenomenon. Because the weather is hot in summer, people will sweat naturally. However, it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by physical weakness or after a serious illness, such as kidney deficiency or spleen deficiency.

1. The main reason for spontaneous sweating is physical weakness or after a serious illness. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is caused by "insufficient lung qi and weak Wei Yang". The treatment should be based on the principle of "tonifying the lungs and replenishing Qi, consolidating the exterior and nourishing Yin". You can choose to take Buzhong Yiqi Pills and Shengmai Drink to nourish the soil and produce gold, replenish qi and restrain sweat, or chew American ginseng and ginseng, etc. You can also choose Shengmai Powder and Yupingfeng Pills with modifications.

2. Sweat gland secretion is closely related to exercise intensity: the general rule is that the greater the exercise intensity, the more sweat you excrete. Because as the intensity of exercise increases, muscle activity becomes more intense and more heat is produced. In order to maintain normal body temperature, the human body must increase sweating to dissipate excess heat. Therefore, the greater the intensity of exercise, the more sweating will inevitably increase.

3. The amount of sweating is first related to individual differences: As we all know, sweat comes from the secretion of sweat glands, and the number of sweat glands is extremely large. Millions of sweat glands can be roughly divided into two categories: one is the small sweat glands, which are widely distributed under the skin all over the body, with an average of about 300 per square centimeter, and a total of about 2.3 million in the body. When exercising or the external temperature rises, the human body mainly relies on these sweat glands to sweat. Physiologists call this type of sweating thermal sweating. The other type is the apocrine sweat glands, which are distributed under the skin in the armpits, nipples, vulva and other parts.

4. When people are frightened, excited or humiliated, this gland mainly sweats. Physiologists call this type of sweating neurogenic sweating. Physiological studies have found that the number of small glands and large glands varies not only between genders, but also between individuals. Therefore, under the same conditions, some people sweat more and some people sweat less. In addition, individual differences are also reflected in the amount of body fluids. Some people have more body fluids and sweat more when exercising; some people have less body fluids and sweat less when exercising. The amount of body fluid often depends on the body fat content. Because adipose tissue contains relatively less water, fat people have relatively less body fluid than thin people.
