Sweat Patterns — A Classical Self-Assessment Guide

Sweat patterns — when, where, how much, what quality — reveal substantial pattern information in classical Chinese medicine. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang (Traditional Chinese Medicine) uses sweat differentiation as part of comprehensive assessment and teaches patients to observe their own patterns.

Common Symptom Pattern

  • ✓ New spontaneous daytime sweating
  • ✓ New night sweating
  • ✓ Localised sweating pattern
  • ✓ Associated constitutional features

Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic operates from Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton (Mid West WA). Dr. Yang is AHPRA-registered with HICAPS on-the-spot health-fund rebates. We work alongside your GP and specialists — never as a replacement for medical care.
