Many people experience sweaty palms and feet. If you are young and healthy and have a normal amount of sweat, then sweaty hands and feet are a normal physiological response.

　　However, excessive sweating of the palms and feet may indicate a health problem that requires timely treatment. Before proceeding, do you understand the causes of excessive sweating in your hands and feet? Understanding the causes of sweating will help you make informed decisions.

　　1. Qi and blood deficiency:

　　Excessive sweating in the palms can be caused by insufficient blood and qi. This is often manifested in the summer when the palms sweat, while the hands and feet are cold in the winter. Patients with this condition can benefit from consuming more blood-nourishing and qi-tonifying soups, such as a decoction of angelica and astragalus, which can be drunk 4-5 times a month.

　　2. The liver or kidneys are relatively weak:

　　People with this constitution are prone to sweaty palms, a condition commonly known as yin deficiency with excessive internal heat. Symptoms often include hot, sweaty palms, dry throat, weakness in the limbs, and sometimes lower back pain. Treatment involves taking Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan or Liu Wei Di Huang Wan as adjunctive therapy to clear heat and detoxify, nourish yin and tonify the kidneys, and replenish qi.

　　3. Weak spleen and stomach function:

　　Some children also experience sweaty palms, usually due to improper diet or weak spleen and stomach function. Symptoms often include hot palms, loss of appetite, and digestive disorders. In this case, children should not be given blood-tonifying medications; the best treatment is massage.

　　4. Chronic kidney disease:

　　This condition can sometimes cause sweaty palms, which is more common in women. It may also be accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and lower back pain, requiring timely treatment.

　　5. Pulmonary tuberculosis:

　　This type of condition can also cause sweaty hands and feet, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as cough, fatigue, and lethargy. A medical examination is necessary; laboratory tests can usually identify the cause, and then appropriate medication can be prescribed for treatment.

　　6. Sweating of the hands and legs:

　　When someone has hand and foot hyperhidrosis, they will naturally exhibit obvious symptoms of excessive sweating in their hands and feet. They sweat very little overall, almost exclusively in their hands and feet. Especially in the summer, while others are drenched in sweat, people with hand and foot hyperhidrosis sweat very little or nothing at all, but their hands and feet sweat profusely, requiring constant wiping.
