Are your hands always clammy and gross? Are sweaty
palms making your hand shakes embarrassing? Do you sweat excessively even when
there is no need to? Is excessive sweating affecting your ability to perform
routine tasks or socialize with people? Do you think your feet keep sweating in
shoes even when it is freezing cold outside? Are you ready to get rid of nasty
foot odor quickly and conveniently? If your answer to these questions is yes
then you have come to the right place. In this article we will share with you
some really effective ways to beat excessive sweating.
Sweating is a healthy process through which your
body not only maintains its normal temperature but also excretes toxic wastes
and water soluble minerals. But excessive sweating is an embarrassing condition
that affects the sufferer’s personal, professional as well as social life.
Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is a medical
condition in which the sufferer’s sweat glands become overactive and start
producing sweat even when there is no need to. It is a very widespread problem,
affecting over seven million people in the United States alone. According to
the International Hyperhidrosis Society, about one third of the world’s
population is suffering from excessive sweating problem. This condition can
affect any specific part or parts of your body, but palms of hands and soles of
feet are most commonly affected by this condition, since they contain maximum
concentration of sweat glands.
While there is no known cure for
sweaty hands, barring surgical procedures, there are a number of non-invasive
medical treatments that can help curb the moisture and improve the condition.
There are a lot of tried and tested DIY natural remedies as well that people
have been using since ancient times to treat sweaty hands.
Natural remedies for hyperhidrosis:
Given below are some quick fixes
that offer lasting relief from heavy perspiration in hands and feet.
· Soak your feet in tea:
Soaking hands or
feet in tea is one of the most effective natural remedies for reducing
palmoplanter hyperhidrosis. Boil five tea bags in a quart of water for about 10
minutes. Then allow the water to cool to room temperature. Now soak your hands
in this solution for 25 to 30 minutes every night. You will notice a
significant improvement in condition within a few weeks.
· Rub alcohol on your hands:
Another
extremely effective remedy for sweaty hands is rubbing alcohol on your palms.
This will not only cleans your hands but also absorb the moisture, leaving your
hands cool and dry. Rubbing alcohol on palms is quite and effective treatment
but it may leave your skin a little itchy. So be careful and notice any changes
to your skin. Discontinue use of alcohol immediately if you feel itchiness,
rash or redness.
· Baking Soda for sweaty armpits:
If you sweat
abnormally in the armpits, baking soda may be the right choice for you. Sprinkle
some baking soda or cornstarch on your underarms after you have applied your
usual deodorant. This will help absorb surplus sweat and count down the number
of odor-causing bacteria.
Botox Injections:
These natural remedies are really
effective, but they often prove to be ineffective in case of hyperhidrosis.
Another downside of natural remedies for excessive sweating is that they only
mask up the sweat and do not treat the actual cause of the problem. Forget to
soak your feet in tea once or don’t rub alcohol on your hands and you will be
dripping like anything. If you are really looking for a solution to curb excessive
sweating, then you need a treatment that addresses the internal cause of sweating
– hyperactive sweat glands. One medical treatment that really works on all
parts of body sweating abnormally is Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis.
Botulinum toxin, the same
neurotoxin that eliminates facial wrinkles and creases, has also shown
tremendous results when used for treating excessive sweating. Before
administering Botox, your clinician will perform starch test to determine
whether you are really a candidate for Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis or
not. After determining your candidacy, the doctor will inject Botox at 8 to 10
evenly distributed places on the treatment site. The toxin sticks itself to the
nerve endings responsible for taking signals from brain to the sweat glands,
and works by temporarily blocking chemical signals that tell the sweat glands
to produce sweat. When the glands do not receive message to produce sweat, they
automatically stop secreting less liquid and you feel dry in the treated areas.
These injections provide instant
relief and the effects generally last for up to six months. However, the
longevity of effectiveness more or less depends on the severity of the problem,
the technique used and the age of the patient.
