Traditional Chinese medicine thinks, sweat is the heart fluid and sweat too much can cause qi and blood deficient. There is a record of ancient emperor neijing states that limbs are base of all Yang, which means human limbs are the source of Yang, and the hand is the foundation of the Yang. Abnormal hand sweat, or even cause complications, indicates spleen and stomach problems.

Physicians points out that the hand sweat belongs to the normal physiology phenomenon and can help to heat dissipation, regulate body temperature, nourish skin, and excrete metabolic waste. Abnormal sweating, however, is often associated with spleen and stomach disorders.
