【汗出有因】流汗模式反映身體狀況
流汗的日與夜
根據中醫理論，汗水是津液所化，正常出汗是人體調節體溫的方式，夏天天氣熱或做運動後出汗，出汗增加都是正常的表現。但如果靜止時無故出汗，或者睡著時出汗，就代表身體機能出現問題了。
日頭大汗淋漓？
解說：
在日間無故出汗，即使天氣不是特別炎熱仍然流汗不止，少量勞動後出汗量更多。中醫稱之為「自汗」，原因多是氣虛。肺氣虛的人容易氣喘、低聲說話、經常反覆感冒、做事提不起勁等。由於肺氣不足，皮膚毛孔不夠緊緻導致汗流而出，應避免進食生冷寒涼及辛辣食物。
睡醒時發現大汗淋漓？
解說：
睡眠時出汗，醒來卻止，謂之「盜汗」，多出現於陰虛火旺的人身上。由於虛火內生，熱逼汗外洩引致睡眠時出汗。這類人多數面色泛紅，口渴等。應避免進食辛辣及燥熱食物，多吃滋陰生津食物。

Day and Night Sweating
According to Chinese medicine theory, sweat is a product of fluids in the body, and sweating is a form of body regulation. During hot weather or after exercising, increased sweating is very normal. But if you are sweating without reason while you are still, or sweating while you are sleeping, then it represents that there is an issue with the body.
Sweating profusely during the day?
If you have unexplained sweating during the day without reason, then you likely have qi deficiency. Those with lung qi deficiency are prone with shortness of breath, usually speaks in low volume, seem to have a cold/flu all the time, and generally fatigued. Due to the insufficient lung qi, the pores on skin is not tight enough which lead to unexplained sweating. People with this condition should avoid cold/raw or spicy foods.
Sweating in your sleep?
Night sweats usually happen to hose with yin deficiency. As the asthenic heat is active, the heat forces the sweat out during sleep. This is usually accompanied by red complexion and thirst. Avoid spicy or dry heat foods, try to have more foods that nourish yin and promote fluid production.
