Evening heat sensation, medically known as a feeling of heat, is characterized by an unusual warmth experienced predominantly in the evenings. This symptom is often described as an overwhelming sense of heat or warmth in the body, which tends to intensify as the day progresses. While it can be a standalone condition, evening heat sensation is commonly associated with underlying health issues and can significantly impact an individual's comfort and well-being.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), evening heat sensation is viewed through the lens of balance and harmony within the body's energy systems. Unlike Western medicine, which might attribute this symptom to hormonal changes or metabolic issues, TCM considers it a manifestation of internal disharmony. Identifying the right pattern of disharmony is crucial for effective treatment.
