What causes excessive sweating of hair

Some friends will find that their hair easily feels wet, which is caused by excessive sweating on the scalp. This reason may be caused by night sweats or kidney deficiency. If the situation occurs frequently, it is recommended that you conduct a detailed examination first to see the specific cause.

1. Spontaneous sweating

Frequent sweating that is not caused by hot weather, taking diaphoretics or other stimuli is called "spontaneous sweating". Spontaneous sweating is mostly caused by weak lung qi, weak Wei Yang, and leakage of body fluids, and is therefore often accompanied by symptoms of Yang qi deficiency such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and chills. It is more common in children with rickets and patients with hyperthyroidism.

2. Night sweats

You sweat when you fall asleep and stop sweating when you wake up. Night sweats are mostly caused by Yin deficiency. Yin deficiency leads to Yang hyperactivity. Yin cannot control Yang, and body fluid turns into sweat. Therefore, it is often accompanied by symptoms such as fever in the five parts of the body, insomnia, and dry mouth and throat. Common in patients with infiltrative stage of pulmonary tuberculosis.

3. War sweat

That is, sweating followed by whole body shivering is a manifestation of the struggle between good and evil during the process of febrile disease. If the fever subsides after sweating, the pulse becomes calm and the body becomes cool, it means that the evil has gone away and the body is at peace, and the vital energy has recovered, which is a good phenomenon. If the limbs become cold and the patient becomes restless after sweating, it means that the body's health cannot overcome the negative energy and that the body's health becomes weaker, which is a serious symptom. War sweats are common in the early and middle stages of various infectious diseases.

4. Stop sweating

It refers to a critical condition, when the vital energy is weak and the Yang energy is about to be exhausted, the patient will sweat profusely and is often accompanied by critical symptoms such as rapid breathing, cold limbs, weak pulse, and sometimes absent pulse. It is a sign that the Yang energy is about to be exhausted and is more common in patients with heart failure and collapse.
