Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sweat is vaginal fluid, and the human body will sweat when the yang is transpiration. Therefore, Neijing has a summary theory of "Yang plus Yin to sweat out". Spontaneous sweating and night sweats are more common in physical weakness, postpartum, postoperative and various chronic diseases. Long-term abnormal sweating will aggravate the loss of qi, blood, yin and yang, induce and aggravate diseases, so timely symptomatic treatment is needed.
