Night sweats are kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency


Empowering you to live healthier.
Night sweats are usually caused by kidney yin deficiency.
Because kidney yang deficiency causes excessive yin qi in the body, it is not conducive to promoting blood circulation, so night sweats do not occur. Kidney yin deficiency causes a large consumption of yin qi in the body, and yang qi content increases, which easily causes vigorous yang qi, which will cause accelerated blood circulation in the body and stimulate sweat gland secretion, resulting in night sweats. Patients will also be accompanied by dry oropharynx, memory loss, soreness of waist and knees, cold limbs, dry stools and other manifestations.
Patients can follow the doctor's advice to apply Zuo Gui Wan, Da Bu Yin Wan, Liu Wei Di Huang Wan and other drugs to relieve symptoms.
