Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the cause of yellow sweat is that the human body sweats and soaks in water without stopping sweating, and water immediately invades from sweat pores, so the yang is stagnant, the water is wet, and it turns into heat. In the case of spleen deficiency, damp heat is steamed inside and vented to the skin, which leads to excellent sweating and clothing and quilt.
Clinically, the etiology of yellow sweat is complicated, and the course of disease ranges from 1-3 months to 1-3 years. In addition to yellow sweat, it can also be accompanied by body heat and aversion to wind, edema of head, face and limbs, soreness of waist and legs, chills of lower limbs, and dysuria. The treatment focuses on dispersing Yang Qi, so that Yang Qi can reach, damp heat can be discharged, and yellow sweat can be stopped. Sini Powder (Radix Bupleuri, Radix Paeoniae, Fructus Aurantii Immaturus and Radix Glycyrrhizae) can be used to soothe the liver and relieve depression, and promote Yang Qi. In addition, clothes and quilts dyed by yellow sweat should be soaked in cold water before washing, and should not be washed and ironed with hot water.
