Traditional Chinese medicine believes that excessive sweating, phlegm, and urination can actually damage the body's vital energy. This is because sweat, phlegm, and urine all originate from the yin fluids transformed by the vital energy of the internal organs. Once these three are excreted excessively, they can easily deplete the vital energy of the organs. Today, I will explain this in detail

However, it is important to note that traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. Since each individual has a different constitution and varying complexities of syndromes, it is crucial not to blindly apply treatments on one's own. Always use them under the guidance of a professional physician based on syndrome differentiation.
