ABNORMAL SWEATING
Translated by Jin Huide

he following article is based on the translation of

chapters 9-19 of the book Zhong Yi Zheng Zhua
Jian Bie Zhen Duan Xue (The Differentiation and
Diagnosis of Symptoms in Chinese Medicine). Suggested
acupuncture points for each syndrome have been added
by the editor. Part Two of this article will cover sweating
with shivers, absence of sweating, spontaneous sweating, sweating with collapse, yellow sweat and sweating
from the armpits.

NIGHT SWEATING
Sweating that occurs during sleep and stops upon awakening is known as night sweating or robbing sweat.

Differentiation
Heart Blood Xu: night sweating, palpitations, insomnia, pale complexion, shortness of breath, lassitude.
Tongue: pale with a thin coating. Pulse: of the Xu type.
Yin Xu with internal heat: night sweating, afternoon
fever, malar flush, restlessness, heat sensation in the
palms, soles and chest, loss of body weight, irregular
menstruation, nocturnal emission, spontaneous emission. Tongue: red with scanty coating. Pulse: thready
and rapid.
Spleen Xu with retention of dampness: night sweating, headache as if the head were tightly wrapped,
sluggishness of the limbs and body, sticky taste in the
mouth. Tongue: pale with a thin white and sticky coating. Pulse: superficial and slow.
Half-exterior half-interior invasion of pathogenic
factors: night sweating, short duration of disease, alternating chills and fever, bilateral fullness and distention
of the hypochondrium, bitter taste in the mouth, nausea.
Tongue: thin white or yellow coating. Pulse: wiry and
slippery or wiry and rapid.

Discussion and treatment

Night sweating due to Heart Blood Xu and Yin Xu with
internal heat: Both are syndromes of the Xu type, but the
latter manifests with signs of apparent heat. Sweat is the
fluid of the heart. Heart Blood Xu due to overstrain and
stress causes Heart-Qi to float with the result that the
fluid of the Heart cannot be stored but leaks out. Frequent night sweating, palpitations and insomnia are the
result. Deficiency of Qi and blood leads to pallor, shortness of breath, fatigue etc. The treatment principle is to
tonify blood, nourish the Heart and stop sweating. The
recommended formula is Gui Pi Tang with the addition
of Long Gu (Os Draconis), Mu Li (Concha Ostreae) and
Wu Wei Zi (Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis). [Suggested
acupuncture points: Yinxi HE-6, Houxi SI-3, Xinshu BL-

Yin and blood Xu results from loss of blood and
essence, or prolonged cough due to TB. Yin Xu gives rise
to internal heat which makes storage of Yin fluid impossible. This explains the frequent night sweating, afternoon fever, malar flush, restlessness, and heat sensation
in the palms, soles and chest. Deficiency of Yin blood
causes irregular menstruation. Yin Xu leads to hyperactivity of Minister Fire which is the cause of nocturnal and
spontaneous emissions. Deficiency of Yin essence leads
to loss of body weight. A red tongue with scanty coating
and a thready and rapid pulse are both signs of Yin Xu
with internal heat. The treatment principle is to nourish
Yin, subdue fire and stop sweating. The recommended
formula is Dang Gui Liu Huang Tang with the addition of
Nu Dao Gen (Radix Oryzae Glutinosae) and Fu Xiao Mai
(Semen Tritici Aestevi Levis). [Suggested acupuncture
points: Yinxi HE-6, Fuliu KID-7, Rangu KID-2, Shenshu
BL-23.]
Night sweating due to Spleen Xu with retention of
dampness and that due to half-exterior half interior
invasion by pathogenic factors: Both are syndromes of
the excess type. The former results from excess consumption of raw, cold, greasy or sweet food, alcohol or
irregular food intake, which damage the Spleen and
Stomach. Spleen Xu results in impaired transportation
and transformation and the production of turbid dampness. The dampness thus produced blocks Qi from its
normal ascending and descending, causing frequent
night sweating accompanied by headache as if the head
were tightly wrapped, sluggishness of the limbs and
body, poor appetite, a sticky taste in the mouth etc. The
treatment principle is to resolve dampness, harmonise
the middle jiao and promote smooth circulation of Qi.
The recommended formula is Huo Po Xia Ling Tang
minus Xing Ren (Semen Pruni Armeniacae), Zhu Ling
(Sclerotium Polypori Umbellati), Dan Dou Chi (Semen
Sojae Praeparatum) and Ze Xie (Rhizoma Alismatis Plantago-aquaticae), but with the addition of Nu Dao Gen
(Radix Oryzae Glutinosae), Cang Zhu (Rhizoma
Atractylodis) and Chen Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae).
[Suggested acupuncture points: Xiangu ST-43, Pishu BL20, Taibai SP-3, Guanmen ST-22, Fuliu KID-7.]
Night sweating due to half-exterior half interior invasion by pathogenic factors occurs at the initial and middle stages of febrile disease. If the pathogenic factors on
the body surface fail to be eliminated they will be transmitted inwards to the Shaoyang and remain between the
exterior and the interior. The contention between the
anti-pathogenic Qi of the body and the pathogenic factor
forces out body fluid, thus causing sweating during

JOURNAL OF CHINESE MEDICINE NUMBER 38 JANUARY 1992

sleep, accompanied by alternating chills and fever, fullness and distention in the hypochondrium, bitter taste in
the mouth, etc. The treatment principle is to harmonise
Shaoyang. The recommended formula is Xiao Chai Hu
Tang minus Dang Shen (Radix Codonopsis Pilosulae)
and Da Zao (Fructus Zizyphi Jujubae), but with the
addition of Huang Lian (Rhizoma Coptidis) and Bi Tao
Gan (Semen Persicae). [Suggested acupuncture points:
Dazhui DU-14, Taodao DU-13, Jianshi P-5, Yanglingquan
GB-34, Qiuxu GB-40, Fuliu KID-7.]
Notes: The Complete Works of Jingyue states: Night
sweating ... can be Yin or Yang in nature. It is not correct
to say that night sweating must be the result of deficiency
of Yin. Thus it is necessary to clarify if night sweating is
caused by internal injury or invasion of external pathogenic factors. The former condition is mostly of the
deficiency type whilst the latter is mostly of the excess
type. Syndromes of mixed deficiency and excess are also
seen, although deficiency type is the more common. Of
the latter type, deficiency of both Qi and Yin may also be
seen.

ONE-SIDED SWEATING
One-sided sweating refers to sweating from either the
left or right side of the body. This condition was first
referred to in the Neijing which said: One-sided sweating dries up one side of the body. It is often present in
windstroke and diseases caused by hypofunction of the
zangfu. Sweating from the upper or lower halves of the
body is not included in this discussion.

Differentiation
Qi and Blood Xu: one-sided sweating, lassitude, dislike of speaking, pale complexion, dizziness, blurred
vision, numbness of the hands and feet. Tongue: pale
with white coating. Pulse: thready and weak.
Invasion by cold damp: one-sided sweating, spastic
pain of the muscles and tendons, restricted movement of
the joints, heaviness of the body and limbs, in severe
cases difficulty in turning the body. Tongue: white sticky
coating. Pulse: weak and superficial, or slow.
Disharmony between Ying and Wei: one-sided sweating, fever, headache, aversion to wind. Tongue: white
and moist coating. Pulse: slow and weak.

Discussion and treatment

One-sided sweating due to Qi and Blood Xu: this
results from overstrain and stress, malnourishment following prolonged illness or excessive loss of blood.
Deficiency of Qi and blood results in their inability to
circulate throughout the whole of the body thus causing
sweating on one side accompanied by signs and symptoms of Qi and Blood Xu such as pallor, fatigue, numbness of the hands and feet etc. The treatment principle is
to tonify both Qi and blood. The recommended formula
is Ren Shen Yang Rong Tang. [Suggested acupuncture
points: Qihai REN-6, Geshu BL-17, Ganshu BL-18, Pishu
BL-20, unilateral Quchi L.I.-11, Hegu L.I.-4, Zusanli ST36, Xiangu ST-43.]
One-sided sweating due to invasion by cold damp:
invasion of the channels and collaterals of one side of the
body by external pathogenic cold-damp blocks the cir-

culation of Qi and Blood and prevents the pores from

opening and closing normally thus causing sweating
from the affected side. The accompanying symptoms
and signs include spastic pain of the muscles and tendons, restricted movement of the joints, heavy body and
limbs etc. The treatment principle is to warm and disperse cold-damp, activate blood circulation and remove
obstruction from the collaterals. The recommended formula is Zhuo Bi Tang with the addition of Xi Xin (Herba
Asari cum Radice) and Zhi Chuan Wu (Radix Aconiti
Praeparatae); or Xiao Huo Luo Dan. [Suggested acupuncture points: Sanyinjiao SP-6, Yinlingquan SP-9, unilateral Jianyu L.I.-15, Quchi L.I.-11, Hegu L.I.-4, Biguan ST31, Zusanli ST-36, Jiexi ST-41.]
One-sided sweating due to disharmony between Ying
and Wei: this results from exposure to pathogenic wind
or overstrain or stress causing disturbance of Qi and
blood. Disharmony between Ying and Wei leads to onesided sweating with accompanying symptoms and signs
such as fever, headache and aversion to wind. When due
to overstress and strain, fever may not be present but
there may be discomfort and a restricted movement of
muscles and tendons all over the body. The treatment
principle is to harmonise Ying and Wei. The recommended formula is Gui Zhi Tang. [Suggested acupuncture points: Dazhui DU-14, Fengmen BL-12, Hegu L.I.-4,
Waiguan SJ-5.]
Notes: One-sided sweating is the result of imbalance of
Qi and blood in their circulation on the two sides of the
body. The pathogenesis is either blockage by pathogenic
factors or deficiency of Qi and blood. It should be pointed
out that if one-sided sweating occurs in patients over the
age of 50 they should receive prompt treatment, avoid
exposure to wind and rest well in order to prevent
windstroke.

SWEATING FROM THE HEAD

Sweating from the head includes sweating from the face.
This can occur in normal individuals, for example some
people may sweat from the face and head whilst eating
and some children may sweat from the head whilst
sleeping. If there are no other symptoms and signs,
sweating from the head is not regarded as pathological.

Differentiation
Retention of damp-heat: sweating from the head and
face, dysuria, yellow body and sclera, aversion to cold,
fever. Tongue: yellow sticky coating. Pulse: weak, superficial and rapid.
Yang-Xu: profuse sweating from the head and face,
pale complexion, cold limbs, shortness of breath, aversion to cold, lassitude. Tongue: pale and tender. Pulse: of
the Xu type.

Discussion and treatment

Sweating from the head due to retention of damp-heat:
pathogenic damp transforms to heat inside the body,
and damp and heat combine to rise along the channels,
thus forcing the body fluid to be expelled from the body
as sweating from the head and face. Retention of dampness in the Bladder impairs its function of separating the
clear and the turbid resulting in dysuria. Invasion of the

31 31

JOURNAL OF CHINESE MEDICINE NUMBER 38 JANUARY 1992

Liver and Gallbladder by damp-heat causes bile to spread

to the muscles and skin resulting in yellowness of the
body and sclera. Retention of damp-heat in the body also
leads to disharmony between the Ying and Wei with
such symptoms as aversion to cold and fever. A yellow
and sticky tongue coating and a weak, superficial and
rapid pulse are signs of excess of damp-heat. The treatment principle is to clear damp-heat. The recommended
formula is Yin Chen Wu Ling San. [Suggested acupuncture points: Dazhui DU-14, Zhiyang DU-9, Danshu BL19, Yanglingquan GB-34, Yinlingquan SP-9, Sanyinjiao
SP-6, Fuliu KID-7.]
Sweating from the head due to Yang Xu: this is a
syndrome of the Xu type resulting from prolonged illness, childbirth or old age. Weakness of the body surface
with leakage of body fluid leads to profuse sweating
from the head and face. Yang Xu leads to deficiency of
Yin Blood resulting in inability of Blood to nourish the
face and hence pallor. Yang cannot warm the surface of
the body resulting in aversion to cold and cold limbs.
Shortness of breath, lassitude, a pale and tender tongue
and a weak deficient pulse are all caused by deficiency of
Yang Qi. The treatment principle is to warm Yang,
benefit Qi, consolidate the body surface and stop sweating. The recommended formula is Qi Fu Tang with the
addition of Hong Shen (Radix Ginseng), Long Gu (Os
Draconis) and Mu Li (Concha Ostreae). [Suggested acupuncture points: Rangu KID-2, Qihai REN-6, Guanyuan
REN-4, Zusanli ST-36, Fuliu KID-7.]
Notes: Sweating from the head can also be seen in
dysuria with excessive vomiting and Shaoyang syndromes. Particular attention should be paid to sweating
from the head in elderly patients who are seriously ill
with shortness of breath and signs of collapse of Yang.

SWEATING FROM THE CHEST

Sweating from the chest is also known as sweating from
the Heart.

Differentiation
Heart and Spleen Qi Xu: sweating from the chest, pale
complexion, shortness of breath, lassitude, palpitations,
poor memory, loose stools. Tongue: pale and tender.
Pulse: of the Xu type.
Heart and Kidney Yin Xu: sweating from the chest,
restlessness, insomnia, palpitations, poor memory, dizziness, tinnitus, dryness of the throat and tongue, soreness and weakness of the lower back and knees, dreamdisturbed sleep, nocturnal emission, tidal fever, deep
yellow and scanty urine. Tongue: red with scanty coating. Pulse: thready and rapid.

Discussion and treatment

Both syndromes are of the Xu type but have a different
aetiology and pathogenesis.
Heart and Spleen Qi Xu results from overthinking,
irregular food intake and overstrain and stress. This can
further lead to deficiency of Yang in the chest and
weakness of Wei Qi, resulting in leakage of body fluid.
The treatment principle is to tonify the Heart and Spleen,
consolidate the body surface and stop sweating. The

3232

recommended formula is Gui Pi Tang with the addition

of Long Gu (Os Draconis) and Mu Li (Concha Ostreae).
[Suggested acupuncture points: Yinxi HE-6, Xinshu BL15, Gaohuangshu BL-43, Pishu BL-20, Taiyuan LU-9,
Shanzhong REN-17.]
Heart and Kidney Yin Xu results from constitutional
deficiency of Yin blood, damage to Yin following a
prolonged illness, excessive loss of blood or overthinking.
Deficiency of Yin fails to embrace Yang on the one hand
and causes internal heat on the other. The result is
leakage of body fluid. The treatment principle is to tonify
the Heart and Kidney. The recommended formulas are
modified Bu Xin Tang and Liu Wei Di Huang Wan. [Suggested acupuncture points: Yinxi HE-6, Fuliu KID-7,
Zhaohai KID-6, Xinshu BL-15, Shenshu BL-23, Lingxu
KID-24.]

SWEATING FROM THE HANDS

AND FEET
Sweating from the hands and feet is described in Concise
Exposition on Exogenous Febrile Diseases (1156 AD):
The Stomach dominates the four limbs. Sweating from
the hands and feet is a sign of Yangming syndrome. All
the syndromes described involve disharmony of the
Spleen and Stomach. Yangming Fu organ syndrome
with accumulation of dry faeces in the Large Intestine is
not discussed, however, since sweating from the hands
and feet is not a key sign of this syndrome.

Differentiation
Damp-heat in the Spleen and Stomach: sweating from
the hands and feet, uncomfortable sensation in the chest
and epigastrium, anorexia, sluggishness of the body,
deep yellow and scanty urine. Tongue: yellow and sticky
coating. Pulse: weak, superficial and rapid or weak
superficial and slippery.
Spleen and Stomach Qi Xu: sweating from the hands
and feet, lassitude, shortness of breath, dislike of speaking, cold limbs, reduced appetite, loose stools. Tongue:
pale with white coating. Pulse: weak deficient.
Spleen and Stomach Yin Xu: sweating from the hands
and feet, dryness of the mouth and throat which is more
pronounced during sleep, poor appetite despite feeling
hungry, possibly dry heaves and belching, irregular
stools. Tongue: red with scanty coating. Pulse: thready
and rapid.

Discussion and treatment

Sweating from the hands and feet due to damp-heat in
the Spleen and Stomach: the Stomach receives food
while the Spleen dominates the four limbs and governs
the transportation and transformation of food and body
fluid. Overstrain and stress damage the Spleen and
impair its function of transportation and transformation
resulting in retention of pathogenic dampness in the
middle jiao which transforms to heat. Damp and heat act
on the fluid in the Stomach, forcing it out to the four
limbs to manifest as sweating from the hands and feet.
Retention of damp in the middle jiao gives rise to discomfort in the chest and epigastrium and sluggishness of
the body. Descent of damp-heat to the Bladder produces
deep yellow and scanty urine. Upward movement of

JOURNAL OF CHINESE MEDICINE NUMBER 38 JANUARY 1992

damp-heat gives rise to a yellow and sticky tongue

coating. The treatment principle is to clear heat, dry
dampness and harmonise the middle jiao. The recommended formulae are modified Lian Po Yin and Wei Ling
Tang. [Suggested acupuncture points: Taibai SP-3, Pishu
BL-20, Sanyinjiao SP-6, Yinlingquan SP-9, Laogong P-8,
Jiexi ST-41.]
Sweating from the hands and feet due to Qi or Yin Xu
of the Spleen and Stomach. Both are Xu syndromes but
with different aetiology and pathology. Spleen and Stomach Qi Xu results from irregular food intake or overstrain
and stress which damages Spleen and Stomach Qi. As a
result the function of transporting body fluid is impaired
which allows fluid to flow to the hands and feet causing
sweating. Qi Xu gives rise to lassitude, shortness of
breath and dislike of speaking. In prolonged cases Qi Xu
gives rise to Yang Xu causing cold limbs. The treatment
principle is to tonify Spleen Qi. The recommended formula is modified Shen Ling Bai Zhu San. [Suggested
acupuncture points: Zusanli ST-36, Jiexi ST-41, Hegu
L.I.-4, Zhongwan REN-12, Taibai SP-3, Pishu BL-20.
Yin-Xu of the Spleen and Stomach results from damage
to Yin from febrile disease, or heat deriving from
overconsumption of pungent, hot and spicy food. YinXu gives rise to internal heat which disturbs Yin fluid,
compelling it to leak from the hands and feet. The
treatment principle is to nourish Stomach Yin and the
recommended formula is modified Sha Shen Mai Dong
Tang. [Suggested acupuncture points: Laogong P-8,
Yongquan KID-1, Zhongwan REN-12, Youmen KID-21,
Lianquan REN-23, Zusanli ST-36.]
Note: Sweating from the hands and feet most commonly
manifests as a Xu syndrome. In prolonged cases both Qi
and blood become deficient and the treatment principle
is therefore to tonify both Qi and blood.
