Sweating on the forehead, also known as excessive forehead sweating, heavy perspiration on the forehead, or profuse sweating on the forehead, is a specific type of perspiration characterized by the overproduction of sweat in the forehead area. This condition can be caused by various factors including heat, stress, physical exertion, or underlying medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism or infections. Sweating is a normal bodily function that helps regulate temperature, but excessive sweating on the forehead can be distressing and uncomfortable, potentially indicating an underlying health issue that needs attention.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), sweating on the forehead is viewed through the concept of patterns of disharmony. Unlike Western medicine, which often focuses on specific physical causes, TCM looks at the underlying imbalances in the body's Qi, Blood, and other vital substances.
Symptoms like sweating on the forehead can arise from various patterns of disharmony, making it crucial to identify the correct pattern before initiating treatment. This holistic approach aims to address the root causes of sweating and restore balance within the body, providing comprehensive relief.
