自汗者，汗无时而自出也。经曰∶饮食饱甚，汗出于胃。惊而夺精，汗出于心。持重远行，
汗出于肾。疾走恐惧，汗出于肝。摇体劳苦，汗出于脾。又云∶阴虚而阳必辏，则发热而自
汗。阳虚而阴必乘，则发厥而自汗。东垣云∶表虚自汗，秋冬用桂，春夏用黄 。丹溪云∶
汗者心之液也。自汗之症，未有不因心肾俱虚而得之者。巢氏云∶虚劳病若阳气偏虚，则津
液发泄而为汗。天自心为主，阳之藏，火也。阳主气，人身津液，随其阳气所在之处而生，
亦随其火所扰之处而泄，则为自汗矣。治法当用参、 甘温益气之药，使阳气外固，而津液
内藏则汗止矣。若元气虚者，夏月用六君子汤加山药、山茱萸，冬月用加减八味丸、十全大
补汤。血虚者，四物加参、 。有热者，当归六黄汤。气血俱虚者，十全大补汤。心肾虚热
者，六味丸。虚寒者，八味丸。心经血虚者，团参汤。胃经气虚者，六君子汤。饮食劳倦者
，补中益气汤。嗜卧倦怠者，升阳益胃汤。热伤元气者，清燥汤。暑干心胞络者，清暑益气汤
。外伤风邪者，惺惺散。虚劳羸瘦者，人参养荣汤。思虑伤脾者，归脾汤。怒动肝火者，小柴胡汤。
肝经虚热者，加味逍遥散。肝经湿热者，龙胆泻肝汤。泄泻脉微者，人参理中汤。手汗者，
补中益气汤。胸腹汗者，四君子汤。当心一片有汗者，茯苓补中汤。黄汗者，茵陈五苓散。
血汗者，血余散敷之。此皆云汗之大法也，仍推五脏相胜主之。若汗出如油，喘而不休，此为命绝；
柔汗发黄，此为脾绝；汗出不流，如贯珠者，为绝汗；数者并不治。若六阳虚则汗出上至头
、下至项，亦多主难治。

自汗，是指没有特定时间而自然出汗的症状。《内经》说：饮食过饱，汗出于胃；受惊耗伤精气，汗出于心；负重远行，汗出于肾；奔跑恐惧，汗出于肝；身体摇动劳苦，汗出于脾。又说：阴虚则阳气汇聚，导致发热并自汗；阳虚则阴气乘袭，导致四肢厥冷并自汗。李东垣说：表虚自汗，秋冬季节用桂枝（温通卫阳），春夏季节用黄芪（益气固表）。朱丹溪说：汗是心的体液。自汗这一病症，没有不是因为心肾两虚而发生的。巢元方说：虚劳病如果阳气偏虚，津液就会外泄成为汗。天以心为主宰，心是阳气的藏所，属火。阳气主司气化，人体的津液随着阳气所在之处而生，也随着火热扰动之处而泄，这就形成了自汗。治疗方法应当使用人参、甘草等甘温益气药物，使阳气在外得以固护，津液在内得以收藏，汗自然就止住了。如果是元气虚弱的人，夏季用六君子汤加山药、山茱萸，冬季用加减八味丸、十全大补汤。血虚的人，四物汤加人参、黄芪。有热的人，用当归六黄汤。气血都虚的人，用十全大补汤。心肾阴虚内热的人，用六味地黄丸。虚寒的人，用金匮肾气丸（八味丸）。心经血虚的人，用团参汤。胃经气虚的人，用六君子汤。因饮食和劳累过度引起的，用补中益气汤。嗜睡倦怠的，用升阳益胃汤。热邪损伤元气的，用清燥汤。暑邪侵犯心包络的，用清暑益气汤。外伤风邪的，用惺惺散。虚劳消瘦的，用人参养荣汤。思虑伤脾的，用归脾汤。愤怒引发肝火的，用小柴胡汤。肝经虚热的，用加味逍遥散。肝经湿热的，用龙胆泻肝汤。泄泻且脉微弱的，用人参理中汤。手汗多的，用补中益气汤。胸腹部出汗的，用四君子汤。胸口正中一片出汗的，用茯苓补中汤。黄汗的，用茵陈五苓散。血汗的，用血余散外敷。这些都是治疗自汗的大法，但仍需推求五脏相克关系来主治。如果汗出如油，气喘不止，这是命绝之兆；冷汗发黄，这是脾绝之兆；汗出不流动，像串珠一样，这是绝汗；以上几种情况都不治。如果六阳经虚损，则汗出上至头部、下至项部，也多主难治。

**Translation of Classical Chinese to Modern Vernacular**
Self-sweating (Zihan) refers to sweating that occurs spontaneously without a specific time. The *Classic of Internal Medicine* states: After overeating, sweat comes from the Stomach; due to fright consuming essence, sweat comes from the Heart; carrying heavy loads and traveling far, sweat comes from the Kidney; running fast and feeling fear, sweat comes from the Liver; bodily movement causing labor and hardship, sweat comes from the Spleen. It is also said: When Yin is deficient, Yang must gather, leading to fever and self-sweating; when Yang is deficient, Yin must overpower, leading to cold extremities and self-sweating. Li Dongyuan stated: For exterior deficiency self-sweating, use Cinnamon Twig in autumn and winter, and Astragalus in spring and summer. Zhu Danxi stated: Sweat is the fluid of the Heart. There is no case of self-sweating that does not arise from the dual deficiency of the Heart and Kidney. Chao Yuanfang stated: In consumptive diseases, if Yang Qi is predominantly deficient, body fluids will be released as sweat. Heaven regards the Heart as the master; the Heart is the residence of Yang Qi and belongs to Fire. Yang Qi governs Qi transformation; human body fluids are generated where Yang Qi resides and are excreted where Fire disturbs, thus forming self-sweating. The treatment method should employ sweet-warm Qi-tonifying herbs such as Ginseng and Licorice, so that Yang Qi is secured on the exterior and body fluids are stored within, thereby stopping the sweat. If one has deficient Yuan Qi, use Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) with Dioscorea and Cornus in summer, and Jia Jian Ba Wei Wan (Modified Eight-Ingredient Pill) or Shi Quan Da Bu Tang (Ten Significant Great Tonifying Decoction) in winter. For blood deficiency, use Si Wu Tang (Four Substance Decoction) plus Ginseng and Astragalus. For those with heat, use Dang Gui Liu Huang Tang (Angelica Six Yellow Decoction). For dual Qi and Blood deficiency, use Shi Quan Da Bu Tang (Ten Significant Great Tonifying Decoction). For Heart and Kidney Yin deficiency with internal heat, use Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill). For deficiency-cold, use Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan (Kidney Qi Pill from the Golden Cabinet, also known as Ba Wei Wan). For Heart channel blood deficiency, use Tuan Shen Tang. For Stomach channel Qi deficiency, use Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction). For cases caused by diet and fatigue, use Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction). For lethargy and fatigue, use Sheng Yang Yi Wei Tang (Raise Yang and Benefit the Stomach Decoction). For heat damaging Yuan Qi, use Qing Zao Tang (Clear Dryness Decoction). For Summerheat invading the Pericardium collateral, use Qing Shu Yi Qi Tang (Clear Summerheat and Augment Qi Decoction). For external wind pathogen invasion, use Xing Xing San. For consumptive emaciation, use Ren Shen Yang Rong Tang (Ginseng Nourishing Courage Decoction). For worry injuring the Spleen, use Gui Pi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction). For anger stirring Liver Fire, use Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction). For Liver channel deficiency heat, use Jia Xiao Yao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder). For Liver channel damp-heat, use Long Dan Xie Gan Tang (Gentian Drain the Liver Decoction). For diarrhea with faint pulse, use Ren Shen Li Zhong Tang (Ginseng Regulate the Middle Decoction). For excessive hand sweating, use Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction). For chest and abdominal sweating, use Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction). For sweating only on the center of the chest, use Fu Ling Bu Zhong Tang (Poria Tonify the Middle Decoction). For yellow sweat, use Yin Chen Wu Ling San (Artemisia Five Porias Powder). For bloody sweat, apply Xue Yu San (Hair Remains Powder) externally. These are the general principles for treating sweating, but one must still deduce the controlling relationships among the Five Zang organs for primary treatment. If sweat flows like oil and panting does not cease, this indicates the end of life; if cold sweat turns yellow, this indicates the end of the Spleen; if sweat does not flow and resembles beads strung together, this is "Jue Han" (Extinction Sweat); none of these are treatable. If the six Yang channels are deficient, sweat may rise to the head and descend to the neck, which also mostly indicates difficult-to-treat conditions.
**Case Records**
A four-year-old child suffered from self-sweating due to fright, with no pulse palpable at the left Guan position, causing family concern. I said: The Liver governs fright; this is a congenital insufficiency of Liver Qi. Due to fright, Qi scatters, and the pulse must manifest at the arm and wrist. Palpating at the end of the Chi position, I indeed felt it. Using Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) and Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill), the pulse returned to its original position after half a year. Pulses appearing between the Hegu points were all caused by fright since childhood.
A five-year-old child suffered from self-sweating and fever due to fright, presenting all deficiency symptoms, with a short pulse at the right Cun position, indicating further injury to Stomach Qi. I used Du Shen Tang (Single Ginseng Decoction) for over a month, then used Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction), assisted by Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) and Jia Di Huang Tang (Modified Rehmannia Decoction), resulting in recovery after half a year.
A child with self-sweating had straight eyes, stiff neck, and dizziness. I diagnosed it as excess heat in the Liver channel, first using Chai Hu Zhi Zi San (Bupleurum and Gardenia Powder), followed by Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill), leading to recovery. Later, due to fright causing self-sweating, teeth grinding, and yawning, it was attributed to deficiency heat in the Liver channel generating wind, treated with Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) and Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) for cure. Subsequently, another fright caused self-sweating, palpitations, red face, and fever, all belonging to Liver channel deficiency heat, cured with Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill).
A child with self-sweating, blue-green complexion, irritability, frequent urination, sleep startles, and occasional convulsions with straight eyes was diagnosed with Liver fire and dry blood generating wind. First, Jia Si Wu Tang (Modified Four Substance Decoction) and Jia Xiao Yao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) were given alternately for four doses each, gradually improving symptoms, followed by Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) and Gardenia for cure.
A child with self-sweating and night sweats, cervical lymph node swelling, and frequent blinking was diagnosed with concurrent Liver and Spleen malnutrition syndrome (Gan disease). Treated with Si Wei Fei Er Wan (Four-Ingredient Fattening Children Pill) and Da Wu Yi Tang (Greater Wormwood Decoction) for cure. Later, after every food stagnation causing fever, bloody stool, and self-sweating, WU Wei Yi Gong San (Five-Ingredient Extraordinary Function Powder) plus Cimicifuga and Bupleurum gradually improved the condition, followed by Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) for cure.
A fourteen-year-old girl with self-sweating, alternating chills and fever, and early menstruation was diagnosed with Liver fire and blood heat. Treated with Jia Xiao Yao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) and Di Huang Wan (Rehmannia Pill) for cure. Later, due to anger causing continuous menstruation, self-sweating, and night sweats, she was first treated with Jia Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Modified Minor Bupleurum Decoction), then Jia Xiao Yao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) for recovery.
A child with self-sweating, crying, fever, thirst, drinking water, convulsions, and sleeping on back was diagnosed with excess heat in the Heart channel, treated with Dao Chi San (Guide Out Redness Powder) for cure. Later, self-sweating, fever, desire for hot drinks, weak convulsions, fright, teeth grinding, side-sleeping, and red face indicated deficiency heat in the Heart channel, cured with Fu Ling Bu Xin Tang (Poria Tonify Heart Decoction).
A child with self-sweating and aversion to wind stopped sweating using Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) plus stir-fried floating wheat. Due to food stagnation causing vomiting and diarrhea, Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) cured it, followed by Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction), Angelica, and floating wheat to stop sweating. During smallpox eruption, self-sweating and night sweats were treated with Shi Quan Da Bu Tang (Ten Significant Great Tonifying Decoction) for smallpox resolution. Later, wind-induced cough with self-sweating and abdominal distension led me to diagnose dual Spleen and Lung deficiency, recommending Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) and Platycodon. Confused by others' advice, the patient first took exterior-releasing agents, worsening panting and night sweats. I used Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction), Schisandra, and roasted ginger. After four doses with no effect, I added five qian of Ginseng and one qian of roasted ginger per dose, slightly stopping symptoms, and cured after three more doses.
Shi Quan Da Bu Tang (Ten Significant Great Tonifying Decoction) treats various deficiencies, self-sweating, anorexia, and periodic tidal fever.
