You’re supposed to
“break a sweat” – Not drown in it!
The beautiful, endless cycle of nature is one we see year after year.
Can you feel it?
Days are getting longer, the weather’s getting warmer, it feels like there’s a vibrant energy in the air…
All the signs that Summer’s shining through!
But as temperatures hit those higher digits, a beautiful day can feel like a serious scorcher.
Thankfully our body has a natural way to keep itself cool – with a sweat!
Sweating is how our body regulates its temperature. When we feel hot, we sweat. The moisture on our skin evaporates, cooling us down in the process.
However, how much we sweat is more than an indicator of how hot we are.
It’s also an excellent measure of your protective Qi’s strength!
This defensive energy, also known as “Wei Qi”, flows beneath the surface of our skin through channels known as striae.
The primary purpose of our Wei Qi is to defend us from external threats that seek to invade the body.
It also has the secondary tasks of warming the skin and muscles, as well as regulating our bodies sweating functions to keep us cool.
When our Wei Qi is strong, our bodies have firm and normal control over our sweating.
However, if weakness and deficiency are affecting our defensive energy, it becomes more difficult to maintain.
As a result, we lose the ability to consolidate the exterior regions of our body. This can cause us to sweat spontaneously and excessively.
Due to the lack of protective Qi, individuals with spontaneous sweating are exposed, and easily prone, to attack from invading illness.
The Lungs Command our Exterior Guard
Our Wei Qi is propelled throughout the body, and it’s strength is nourished through the function of our Lungs.
As it’s restored, our bodies can begin to reclaim control over our exterior and return balance to excessive sweating and compromised immunity caused by a lack of Wei Qi.
