Postpartum excessive sweating, a common occurrence after childbirth, involves abnormal and profuse perspiration. This condition, experienced by many new mothers, typically occurs at night and can be intense enough to disrupt sleep. It's a natural part of the body's adjustment process following the significant hormonal and physiological changes of childbirth.
Traditional Chinese Medicine interprets postpartum excessive sweating as an imbalance in the body's energy system following childbirth. TCM views this symptom as an indication of underlying disharmony within the body, often related to the body's Qi (vital energy) and Yin (the passive principle).
According to TCM, harmonizing and nurturing the body’s energies after childbirth is crucial for a mother's recovery and well-being.
