(Spontaneous Sweating and Night Sweating in Cold Damage)
Yuzhen (GB9), (see entry for Eye Pain.) treats excessive sweating. (From *Mingtang Jing*) Geshu (BL17), (see entry for Phlegm.) treats sweating. Yinqiao Mai, treats sweating in women. (From *Shilei Jing*) Yinqiao and other vessels, (see entry for Abdominal Pain.) govern sweating. (From *Qianjin Fang*) Feiyang (BL58), Yongquan (KI1), Hanyan (GB7), Houding (DU19) govern neck and nape pain and sweating in Li Jie disease (painful joints). Kunlun (BL60) governs excessive sweating in malaria. (From *Qianjin Fang*) Ran Gu (KI2) governs sweating in warm malaria. Fuli u (KI7) treats bone-steaming cold and heat, with continuous dripping sweat. (From *Tongren Shuxue Zhenjiu Tujing*) Dacun (LR1) treats heart pain accompanied by sweating. (See entry for Acute Hernia) Quepen (ST12) treats sweating. (See entry for Scrofula) Zhongfu (LU1) treats wind-induced sweating. (See entry for Lung Qi) Shaoshang (LU11) treats sweating with aversion to cold. (See entry for Frequent Belching) Chongyang (ST42) governs sweating. (See entry for Malaria) Moxibustion treats night sweats caused by heat in the palms and soles. (See entry for Consumption/Lao)
Musou San (Oyster Shell Powder) treats night sweats occurring upon falling asleep and headache due to wind deficiency. Calcined yellow oyster shell (*Concha Ostreae*), Atractylodis Rhizoma (*Baizhu*), and Saposhnikoviae Radix (*Fangfeng*), each three liang, are taken with wine, one fangcun bi (a measure of volume) at a time, twice daily. This formula stops sweating; none surpasses it. It is effective for all types of profuse sweating, with recovery within three days. This formula is recorded in *Qianjin Fang*. *Ben Shi Fang* states: if there is aversion to wind, double the amount of Fangfeng; if there is qi deficiency, add Baizhu; if there is facial swelling, add Oyster Shell. This represents an augmentation of the formula. Musou San is also used to treat continuous night sweats due to consumption deficiency. The prescription consists of equal parts of Oyster Shell (*Concha Ostreae*), Ephedrae Radix et Caulis root part? (Note: Original text says 麻黄根, which is Ephedrae Herba Radix or specifically the root of Ephedra, here translated as Radix Ephedrae), and Astragali Radix (*Huangqi*), ground into powder. Take two qian, decoct with one jin of water until seven-tenths remain, and take warm. I have used these with verified efficacy, so I append them here. (*Ben Shi Fang* contains two additional formulas.)
Lieque (LU7), Quchi (LI11) govern irritability and heart oppression in febrile diseases, preceded by heat in the arms and body, convulsions, tightly closed lips, flaring nostrils, and bead-like sweating under the eyes. (From *Qianjin Fang*) Chuzhong (EX-UE3?), Zhuanzhu (BL2), Zhengying (GB17), Shangguan (ST3 - Note: Text says 上管, likely typo for 上关), Quepen (ST12), Zhongfu (LU1) govern sweating with alternating chills and fever. Chengjiang (CV24) governs continuous sweating and epistaxis. Baihui (DU20) governs sweating with vomiting and spasms. Dada (SP3) governs sweating in febrile diseases, syncope with clear/cold feet. *Waitai Mi Yao* states instead: no sweating, syncope, cold hands and feet. Fuli u (KI7) governs restlessness from chills and fever, continuous sweating, and wind counterflow causing limb edema.
In cases of febrile disease with irritability, cold feet, and profuse sweating, first puncture Ran Gu (KI2), then Taixi (KI3) and the arterial pulse between the big toe (Yinbai SP1). All should be treated with the tonifying method first. Lieque (LU7), (see entry for Edema) Feishu (BL13), Xinshu (BL15) govern sweating. (See entry for Wind Stroke)
Spontaneous sweating in cold damage is considered a yin syndrome. Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) is the best treatment. I have repeatedly instructed people to take it with verified results. If there is only slight sweating on the forehead or sweating limited to the upper section of the body, it is most appropriate to decoct and take Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria). (See *Jisheng Fang*). A folk song states: "When epidemic disease causes sweat like water, it is termed damp-warmth in theory. Burn old bamboo fans to ash, mix with soup, and the effect is beyond words." The reasoning is quite sound, and the medicine is indeed usable. (For excessive sweating, some practitioners use their own experience: moxibustion on Xinshu (BL15) and taking Zhenxin Dan (Heart-Calming Pill) are both effective.)
