If night sweats occur after soaking in a hot spring and going to sleep, this may be closely related to qi deficiency or kidney deficiency. When there is a deficiency of qi and blood in the body, the bodily fluids consumed during hot spring bathing may further aggravate symptoms of qi deficiency, impairing the body's ability to retain internal fluids during rest, thus leading to night sweats. In addition, night sweats can also be a manifestation of kidney deficiency; the accelerated blood circulation and increased body temperature during hot spring bathing may further exacerbate sweating. Therefore, for such conditions, it is recommended to seek timely assistance from traditional Chinese medicine, undergoing professional diagnosis and treatment to restore the body's balance and health.
