(Attachment: Yin Sweat, Foot Sweat)
This syndrome belongs to Yin deficiency and blood weakness, where Yang steams the Yin compartment causing fluid to exit, known as night sweating (Dao Han). However, when Yin is deficient, Yang tends to encroach, and Yang fire takes advantage, so one sweats profusely during sleep but stops upon waking, unlike spontaneous sweating which is constant. The pulse is deficient, fine, and slightly soggy. It is appropriate to nourish Yin, clear fire, consolidate the interstices, and strengthen Kidney Water.
