What Are Some Causes of Sweating?

Sweating is an adaptation in life. The nerve that controls the sweat glands is the autonomic nerve. Sweating centers vary from animal to animal, some in the spinal cord and some in the lower thalamus (thermostatic sweating).

"Sweating therapy" is the earliest and most widely used treatment method in the motherland. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "fever sweating" not only passes through the channels and moves the whole organs, improves the spirit and restores physical strength, but also has the function of regulating nerves and expanding. The surrounding small blood vessels improve the microcirculation system and promote the function of the human internal organs and internal organs, so that internal evils are discharged with evaporated sweat.

Sweating is a physiological function of the human body to excrete and regulate body temperature. However, if the way of sweating changes the amount, color and smell of sweat, it can be used as a precursor to some diseases and should be paid attention to. The following is an explanation of some common sweating phenomena from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine:

98 to 99% of the components in a drop of sweat are mainly water. The specific gravity of the tourmaline sweat steaming room is between 1.002 and 1.003, and the pH value is 4.2 to 7.5. NaCl is about 300 mg / 100 ml.

1 to 2% is a small amount of urea, lactic acid, fatty acids and so on.

Sweat is the fluid secreted by sweat glands. Sweating caused by thermal stimuli due to an increase in outside air temperature or an increase in heat production in the body is called perspiration. At this time, the sweating area is widely distributed, and the skin of all parts of the body, especially the forehead, neck, front and back of the trunk, waist, back of the hand and forearm, is the most; second is the neck, the side of the trunk and most of the limbs; again the inner side of the thigh and the underarms ; At least palms and feet. Strains also cause sweating. Sweating centers are distributed in various parts of the central nervous system. Normal people unknowingly evaporate about 600 to 700 milliliters of water within 24 hours.

Sweating is divided into active and passive. The so-called passive sweating refers to sweating due to sultry weather and irritable mood. This kind of sweating is not good for the human body. On the contrary, active sweating is called active sweating. It helps maintain the body's temperature and emits heat, which is good for people's physical and mental health.

The role of sweat is to regulate body temperature. When you think about it, the human body is really like a precise machine. If you don't sweat, it's bad. When you exercise, blood circulation speeds up, your body temperature rises, and your body temperature drops. When it s cold, the sweat glands and pores contract, and you do nt sweat any more to prevent body temperature from being lost.

Sweat is the "air conditioner" of our body. According to Chinese medicine, sweating is necessary in summer. Sweating is a type of detoxification. There are two ways of detoxification: one is to urinate and the other is to sweat. Sweating is the most effective detox method. Only summer can sweat naturally in all seasons, which will help the body's metabolism, and benefit the balance of meridians and the health of the immune system. If you do nt sweat for a long time, your skin will not breathe for a long time, and in the end it will cause a lot of disorders of the human metabolic system, and the detoxification function of this skin will be transferred to the kidneys and liver.
