Yang acting on Yin
Sweat is a body fluid, therfore is Yin
When the Wei Qi opens the cou li, the intersticies, and goes out into the exterior, it carries the sweat out.
Normal Sweat harmonizes the Ying and Wei
Lose fluid, lose qi.
Qi seals the exterior, to contain sweat, so to contain sweat needs qi.
If weak in Qi, sweats easily, losing Qi, making sweat easier.
Wind-cold will bind the Wei Qi, thus stopping sweat
Damp will bind the Wei Qi
