自汗者，汗自出，属阳虚，宜玉屏风散加牡蛎、浮小麦之类以实补表阳；盗汗者，身睡
而汗出，醒而汗收，属阴虚，宜当归六黄汤以补阴清火。然阴阳有互根之理，有阳虚而治其

当归六黄汤，治疗阴虚发热导致的盗汗。
药材组成：当归、生地黄、熟地黄、黄芩、黄连、黄柏、甘草（各一钱五分），炙黄芪（三钱）。
用法：用水煎煮后服用。
参附汤，治疗肾气虚损不足引起的自汗等症状。
药材组成：人参（一两）、附子（五钱）。
用法：用水煎煮。
芪附汤，治疗卫阳虚弱导致的自汗，即在前方（参附汤）的基础上，用炙黄芪一两替换人参。
术附汤，治疗脾阳虚弱兼夹湿邪导致的自汗，即在前方（芪附汤）的基础上，用白术一两替换人参。
自汗，是指汗液自行流出，属于阳气虚弱，适宜使用玉屏风散加牡蛎、浮小麦等药物来固表补益阳气；盗汗，是指睡眠时出汗，醒来后汗止，属于阴液亏虚，适宜使用当归六黄汤来滋阴降火。然而阴阳之间存在互根互用的道理，有因阳虚而治其阴的情况，也有因阴虚而治其阳的情况，这些不可不知道。另外，汗为心之液，适宜补益心脏，以人参养荣汤为主方。津液由肾脏主宰，适宜补益肾脏，以左归饮、右归饮、六味丸、八味丸为主方。总之，汗液的排泄以元气为枢机，如果出现大汗淋漓且身体冰冷，必须使用六味回阳饮，并将人参用量增加至一两左右，才可以挽回生机。伤寒病误用发汗法，导致上焦津液干枯，必然牵引肾水上泛外溢，像水涌出一样，名为亡阳证，必须使用真武汤来救治，因为这个方剂中茯苓用于镇摄水气，佐以附子来回阳救逆。
出汗且伴有气喘，出汗且脉象微弱欲绝，出汗且身体疼痛，出汗且头发湿润直至头顶，出汗如油，出汗如珠，凡是见到这类症状，都不可随意用药。
脉象：适宜出现阴脉，如果脉象逐渐缓和则为吉兆；忌讳出现阳脉，如果兼见短、涩、促、结、代、散、革等脉象则难以治疗。

Danggui Liu Huang Tang (Angelica Sinensis and Six Yellow Decoction) treats night sweats caused by Yin deficiency with fever.
Ingredients: Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis), Sheng Di Huang (Rhizoma Rehmanniae Recens), Shu Di Huang (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix), Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Huang Bai (Phellodendri Cortex), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (each 1.5 qian), Zhi Huang Qi (Astragali Radix, honey-fried) (3 qian).
Usage: Decoct in water and take orally.
Shen Fu Tang (Ginseng and Aconite Decoction) treats spontaneous sweating and other symptoms due to Kidney Qi deficiency.
Ingredients: Ren Shen (Panacis Ginseng Radix) (1 liang), Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) (5 qian).
Usage: Decoct in water.
Qi Fu Tang (Astragalus and Aconite Decoction) treats spontaneous sweating due to Wei Yang (Defensive Yang) deficiency. It is the previous formula (Shen Fu Tang) with Zhi Huang Qi (Astragali Radix, honey-fried, 1 liang) replacing Ren Shen (Panacis Ginseng Radix).
Zhu Fu Tang (Atractylodes and Aconite Decoction) treats spontaneous sweating accompanied by dampness due to Spleen Yang deficiency. It is the previous formula (Qi Fu Tang) with Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 1 liang) replacing Ren Shen (Panacis Ginseng Radix).
Spontaneous sweating refers to sweat flowing out spontaneously; it belongs to Yang deficiency. It is suitable to use Yupingfeng San (Jade Windscreen Powder) plus Mu Li (Ostreae Concha) and Fu Xiao Mai (Tritici Levis Fructus) to consolidate the exterior and tonify Yang Qi. Night sweats refer to sweating during sleep and stopping upon waking; it belongs to Yin deficiency. It is suitable to use Danggui Liu Huang Tang (Angelica Sinensis and Six Yellow Decoction) to tonify Yin and clear fire. However, there is a principle of mutual root between Yin and Yang. There are cases where Yang deficiency is treated by addressing Yin, and cases where Yin deficiency is treated by addressing Yang; these must be known. Furthermore, sweat is the fluid of the Heart. It is suitable to tonify the Heart, using Renshen Yangrong Tang (Ginseng and Nourishing Vigor Decoction) as the primary formula. Fluids are governed by the Kidney. It is suitable to tonify the Kidney, using Zuogui Yin (Left Restoring Decoction), Yougui Yin (Right Restoring Decoction), Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia), and Bawei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill with Cinnamon and Dogwood) as primary formulas. In summary, the excretion of sweat takes Yuan Qi (Original Qi) as its pivot. If there is profuse sweating accompanied by cold limbs, Liuwei Huiyang Yin (Six-Ingredient Decoction to Restore Yang) must be used, increasing the dosage of Ren Shen (Panacis Ginseng Radix) to approximately 1 liang, to salvage the condition. If Shaoyang disease (Cold Damage) is mistakenly induced to sweat, causing dryness of fluids in the Upper Jiao (Upper Burner), it will inevitably draw Kidney Water upward and overflow outward, resembling gushing water. This is named Wang Yang (Collapse of Yang) and must be rescued with Zhenwu Tang (True Warrior Decoction). This is because Fuling (Poria) in this decoction stabilizes water, assisted by Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) to restore Yang.
Sweating accompanied by panting, sweating accompanied by pulse disappearance, sweating accompanied by body pain, sweating with hair moistening up to the vertex, sweating like oil, sweating like pearls—whenever such signs appear, one must not administer medication recklessly.
Pulse: Yin pulses are favorable; if they gradually become slow and relaxed, it is auspicious. Yang pulses are unfavorable; if accompanied by short, choppy, rapid, knotted, intermittent, scattered, or leather pulses, it is difficult to treat.
Yupingfeng San (Jade Windscreen Powder)

Usage: Decoct in water and take orally.

Usage: Decoct in water and take orally.
Note: For cases of collapse of Yang due to sweating, replace Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) with Fuling (Poria) and add one Wu Mei (Mume Fructus).
External Treatment Method: Grind Wu Bei Zi (Galla Chinensis) into powder, mix with saliva to form pills, and apply to the umbilicus. (Males use female saliva; females use male saliva.) Seal externally with a plaster to prevent Qi leakage; it stops after one night.
