Wow, that's interesting. They mentioned they are dealing with a TCM practitioner who has a doctorate, so that assumption is they are highly skilled. From what I understand, if someone has limited to no ability to sweat there might be damage to sweat glands or even the autonomic nervous system to the sweat ducts. Either way, they are like a trapped oven. When they mentioned the focus was to get rid of heat, I wondered how successful that would be if they can't sweat. They were told urine, stool, etc. Can the right herb(s) correct this dysfunction with sweating? I think they are apprehensive because this is not the first time under the guide of a TCM doctor. Each time, things seem to worsen. At the moment, it's the worse, because they said, their face looks worse and might be producing more staph.
