Disease description:
I experience hot flashes and sweating, and I must take a thorough shower every night, otherwise I would be smelly from the sweat. However, this phenomenon occurs several times a day. How can hot flashes and excessive sweating be treated?

The treatment of hot flashes and sweating requires a comprehensive approach. Below is a summary of recommended treatment strategies:
1. Dietary adjustment: Increase consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits, eggs, soy products, and dairy products, which are rich in vitamins, proteins, and calcium. Reduce intake of spicy, greasy, high-sugar, and high-fat foods. These dietary changes help regulate the body's yin-yang balance and alleviate symptoms of hot flashes.
2. Regular exercise: Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking, jogging, or yoga, to promote blood circulation, strengthen physical fitness, and improve the body's ability to adapt to and regulate body temperature.
3. Herbal regulation: According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory, hot flashes and sweating are often caused by internal heat due to yin deficiency. Regulation with Chinese herbs that nourish yin, reduce internal heat, and strengthen the body's resistance may be considered, such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Rehmannia Six) or Mai Wei Di Huang Wan (Rehmannia Six with Ophiopogon). However, specific herbal prescriptions should be determined by a TCM physician based on individual conditions.
Please note that individualized treatment plans should be developed by a qualified physician according to each patient's specific condition.
