Q. I sweat too much and feel exhausted when I exercise. Why is that?

A.

Rather than just your constitution, it is likely that your body's 'energy efficiency' has decreased. When the body's ability to maintain an optimal temperature weakens, you may experience excessive sweating and rapid exhaustion. From a TKM perspective, it is essential to examine the flow of Qi and the condition of your internal organs.

📝 Detailed Answer

Excessive sweating accompanied by fatigue often occurs not because of a simple lack of stamina, but because the body's 'regulatory switch' is not functioning properly. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this can be analyzed through three primary causes: 1. Qi Deficiency (氣虛): A general lack of vital energy. Specifically, when the 'Wei Qi' (defensive energy) that controls the opening and closing of pores on the skin surface is weakened, sweat leaks out uncontrollably. Since energy is escaping, you become exhausted quickly. 2. Phlegm-Fluid Retention (痰飮): The accumulation of unnecessary metabolic waste in the body. When these waste products are not properly discharged, the body feels heavy, and even slight movement can strain the heart, leading to shortness of breath and excessive sweating. 3. Spleen Deficiency (脾虛): A weakened digestive system. When the Spleen's ability to convert food into energy decreases, you lack the necessary 'fuel' for exercise, causing you to feel 'drained' or 'burned out' rapidly. Ultimately, the goal is to restore the energy efficiency that suits your specific body type. Rather than pushing yourself through intense exercise, I recommend first identifying where your energy is leaking. If you visit the clinic, I will conduct a thorough examination to provide a tailored treatment plan.
