“It’s cold, so it must be a noise maker”
That Thought Can Be Dangerous in Hyperhidrosis
Knowing your hyperhidrosis constitution
will change the direction of your treatment
hello.
I’m Dr. Sangchul Hwang
researching and treating autonomic nerves.
There’s a phrase I hear a lot in the clinic.
“Mr. Director, I’m cold.
I think that’s why it’s the noise.”
Well, they’re not entirely wrong.
But
It’s half right, and half wrong,which can be a pretty dangerous misconception.
Especially if you suffer from hyperhidrosis.
especially those who suffer from hyperhidrosis,
and it can really push them away
I’ve seen it so many times.
If you guess wrong,
hyperhidrosis becomes more severe
These days, the internet and social media
“Foods that are good for noisemakers”,
“foods for noisy people” and “herbs you shouldn’t take when you’re sweating”.
The problem is that this information
is thatit doesn’t assume an ‘accurate constitutional diagnosis’
diagnosis.
Just Because You’re Cold
weak digestion
sweating.
Just the Noisemakers and the Loudmouths
If you choose herbs or supplements
hyperhidrosis is not reduced,
they often make it more complicated.
Even with the same hyperhidrosis,
Noisy and quiet people are completely different
Hyperhidrosis may seem like a single condition,
there are two completely different directionsin Chinese medicine.
Noise-induced hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis in Noisemakers
the power to create energy,
or “engine” that produces energy.
Metabolism drops and
and stamina is easily exhausted.
The body is unable to balance itself and sweats it out.
That’s why you often hear me say this.
“I feel energized when I sweat.”
“I feel more tired after I sweat.”
In this case,
a blanket approach to sweat suppression
can make you weaker.
ichthyophilic hyperhidrosis
In contrast, hyperhidrosis in small people
metabolically active,
and often occurs in a state of demonstration where heat is directed upward.
Overheating
hyperhidrosis is an overreactive hyperhidrosis in which the body tries to sweat it out.
These are the people who
Sweating and not feeling very energized,
and are often accompanied by a feeling of heat in the face, scalp, and upper body
often accompanied by sweating.
In other words,
say, “I’m sweating a lot”
the source and direction of that sweat is completely different.
So Am I a Noisemaker or a Loudmouth?
Here are some of my favorite
“practical constitutional distinction hints” that I actually refer to in my practice.
Faces and facial expressions
Small people
have a relatively slender face shape
a sharp jawline
and often appear sensitive.
Noisemakers are
overall soft
soft eyes and facial expressions
and often give the impression of being relaxed.
Digestive function

Noisemakers are

Body shape
Small children

heat and tension are often centered in the shoulders and chest.
Noisy people are

hips, and thighs.
However,
all of these are just tendencies
It’s very dangerous to make judgments based on body type or one symptom alone.
“I thought it was a noisemaker and ate astragalus”
The most common mistakes
It’s actually something I hear a lot in the clinic.
“I couldn’t digest, I was cold.
I ate astragalus because I thought it was a noisemaker.”
Herbs like astragalus and cinnamon
protect the chi of the noisemaker
and help control perspiration.
But if you use it the same way for a small person,
the heat will rise higher.
increased sweating
headache, hot flashes, and heart palpitations.
The problem isn’t the medicine,
the wrong choice for your constitution.
Constitution is not a solo endeavor
Constitution is not
“cold” or “feverish”.
Balancing the Autonomic Nervous System
Digestive function
Emotional Response Patterns
Metabolic Direction
It’s all intertwined together.
So you may have a rash, a pimple, or a bump
without a professional examination
without a professional diagnosis
is the most dangerous way to start treating hyperhidrosis.
Let’s summarize
Just because you have a weak digestion doesn’t mean you’re a noisemaker.
Just because you sweat a lot doesn’t mean you’re a slob.
Even the same hyperhidrosis
can cause, respond to, and be treated differently depending on your body type.
When you know your constitution
your body is much less volatile
and much easier to treat.

If You’re Suffering from Hyperhidrosis
don’t judge yourself,
and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
