Hello everyone Many people as soon as summer arrivesSlight activity leads to profuse sweating, often feeling chest tightness, shortness of breath, and palpitations at noon and in the afternoon, and restless sleep at night. The dog days of summer are even more unbearable, and these discomforts become more pronounced.You might think it's just the hot weather, but from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, it could be a deficiency of both qi and yin.
Shengmai Yin is a simple formula consisting of just three herbsGinseng greatly tonifies the original qi, Ophiopogon nourishes heart yin, Schisandra restrains sweating and secures heart qiThe combination of these three herbs can replenish qi, nourish yin, stop sweating, and promote fluid production.

Shengmai Yin replenishes qi and yin, restores the heart meridian, and calms the mind, leading to natural improvement in sleep.。
It can regulate abnormal sweating.Qi deficiency fails to secure and control, leading to spontaneous sweating during the day and lack of energy; Yin deficiency generates internal heat, and at night, deficient fire forces body fluids outward, resulting in night sweats. Shengmai Yin both replenishes Qi to secure the exterior and stops daytime sweating, while nourishing Yin and astringing sweat to stop nighttime sweating.。
