Abstract
Hyperhidrosis is a condition defined by excessive sweating caused by various underlying factors, and it is commonly encountered in clinical practice. It may occur alone or as a symptom associated with other diseases, and is closely linked to the functions of the five organs as well as the metabolism of Qi, blood, and bodily fluids. This article summarizes relevant literature regarding acupuncture treatment for hyperhidrosis, focusing on aspects such as external and internal factors, deficiency and excess conditions, the interplay between nutritive and defensive Qi, Qi and blood dynamics, organ systems, and experiential point selection. Additionally, it discusses initial strategies for point selection, highlighting the importance of syndrome differentiation in clinical practice. The initial step should be to identify the Yin and Yang to understand the fundamental principles, followed by a comprehensive evaluation of symptoms in relation to organ systems, superficial and deep layers, cold and heat conditions, and deficiency and excess. This approach allows for flexible prescribing aimed at harmonizing Yin and Yang.
