Night sweats, medically termed as nocturnal hyperhidrosis, are episodes of excessive sweating occurring during sleep. This condition is not merely related to an overheated sleeping environment but is often indicative of underlying health issues.
Night sweats can be a symptom of various medical conditions, ranging from infections to hormonal imbalances. They can disrupt sleep and significantly impact the quality of life. Understanding their cause is crucial for effective management and treatment.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches night sweats from a holistic perspective, seeing them as a manifestation of internal imbalances. In TCM, night sweats are often associated with Deficiencies or disharmonies in the body's Yin or Yang energies.
TCM practitioners focus on identifying the underlying disharmony and restoring balance through a combination of herbal treatments, acupuncture, and lifestyle modifications. This approach underscores TCM’s emphasis on treating the individual as a whole, rather than merely addressing the symptoms.
