手足汗是局部汗的一種,指手足部出汗而其他部分无汗或汗出不明显,症见手足尤其两腕关节至五指端、两踝关节至五趾端部位经常潮湿多汗,甚者汗流如注,影响日常工作和生活,临床并不少见。笔者临证以脾胃为核心辨证治疗,或攻下实热、荡涤燥结,或健运脾胃、化湿泄热,取得一定疗效。兹介绍如下。
1 中医对手足汗的认识
中医学对手足多汗症的论述较早见于《伤寒论·辨阳明病脉证并治》“阳明病,脉迟……手足濈然汗出者,此大便已硬也,大承气汤主之”,而手足多汗症的病名最早见于金·成无己《伤寒明理论·手足汗》“四肢者,诸阳之本,而胃主四肢,手足汗出者,阳明之证也。阳经邪热,传并阳明,则手足为之汗出”。脾主四肢、皮肤,故历代医家认为手足汗出主要应责之脾胃。
1.1 阳明热盛
阳明热盛,津液受伤,未遍身汗出,仅能从阳明所主的四肢旁达,故见手足汗出。《伤寒论·辨阳明病脉证并治》有“二阳并病,太阳证罢,但发潮热,手足漐漐汗出,大便难而谵语者,下之则愈,宜大承气汤”。可见,手足出汗是燥屎内结的主要指征,是阳明腑证的主症,肠胃燥实热结,津为热迫,应于手足。而太阳病、少阳病一般无手足汗出。
