Stop Excessive Sweating. Causes And Remedies For Excess Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

There are many different home remedies for excessive sweating, many of which are common sense, such as wearing natural fabrics that let the skin breathe (such as cotton) as opposed to synthetic materials that result in excessive perspiration. Such man-made fabrics are polyester, polyblends, nylon and acetate which don’t let the fabric breathe. Anyone suffering from profuse sweating would do well to simply avoid wearing clothes made from such fabrics.

Learning some mechanisms for coping with stress and anxiety, such as breathing techniques, can help you feel less tense and nervous which will decrease the amount you sweat. With practise, you should be able to reduce the perspiration levels, which will generate a positive feedback loop because you’ll be worrying less about sweating, which will mean you’re more relaxed and sweat less.

Making sure you bathe frequently will ensure your pores are clean and will remove the bacteria that cause bad odours. By drying your skin well, you’ll deprive any remaining bacteria of a damp environment to grow in, which will prolong the time before body odour develops.

Avoid stimulants of the sympathetic nervous system, such as caffeine, alcohol and spices. Simply staying away from such chemicals will ensure your body isn’t producing more sweat than it would normally. It’s thought that zinc may help decrease sweating and body odour, so eating whole grains and nuts as part of a balanced diet may be beneficial. Another thing to try is sage tea, which some people claim helps reduce excessive sweating.

We advise that, before getting surgery or taking any medication, anyone thinking about getting treatment for uncontrollable sweating should consider natural treatments and remedies first. We recommend the ebook, “Stop Sweating and Start Living” by Mike Ramsay as a introduction to hyperhidrosis and what you can do to control your sweating naturally and cheaply.

BOTOX®, a trademark of Allergan Inc, or Botulinum toxin, is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

Originally used to treat crossed-eyes and uncontrollable eye blinking, it has become famous for its use as an anti-wrinkle treatment. However, in July 2004, BOTOX® was granted approval in the United States for the treatment of severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating) that is inadequately managed with topical agents (anti-perspirants). The product is administered in small injections to reduce sweat gland activity by blocking the overactive nerve impulses in the armpits that trigger excessive glandular activity (sweating).

Although we wouldn’t recommend turning to BOTOX® immediately upon diagnosis with hyperhidrosis, it seems to be an effective solution for people who don’t see relief when using natural treatments and remedies.

Is it possible to cure excessive sweating with hypnosis?

Well, let’s look at the facts. Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is caused by the over-excitation of the sympathetic nervous system. Basically, normal people sweat when they’re anxious or nervous. In hyperhidrosis, that sweating is amplified because the nervous system is over-sensitive to any kind of stimulus.

What if, instead of treating the problem at the sweat-gland level, with anti-perspirants, ionophoresis or surgery, we treated the problem at the source… where the nervous system gets the incorrect signal to sweat. That’s what hypnosis does. It directly affects the way your nervous system reacts to reduce the nerve signals that cause the sweat glands to produce sweat. Hypnotism is well suited to solving this problem, because it’s well known to help people regulate similar responses, such as stopping smoking, losing weight and decreasing anxiety.

Sweating is a natural reaction of the body to over-heating. When you exercise hard or stay in a hot environment for a long time, your body will produce sweat to cool you down. We also sweat when anxious or nervous and it’s thought that this is the system that causes hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) when it’s over-sensitive. Sweat is mainly just salts dissolved in water. As the water evaporates into the atmosphere, it cools you down. That’s why a hot, humid atmosphere feels so much worse than a hot, dry atmosphere… because sweat easily evaporates in a dry atmosphere, but can’t in the humid environment which leaves you feeling hot, drenched in sweat and uncomfortable.

To prevent sweating, most people reach for an anti-perspirant. The anti-perspirant will contain an active ingredient (usually a form of aluminum… either chloride or bromide) that stops the sweat glands from working. Unlike deoderants, which only tackle the smell associated with sweat, anti-perspirants will acutally stop you sweating. People with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) may need stronger concentrations of the active ingredients to achieve the same levels of sweat reduction, but the principle is the same.

The anti-perspirant (aluminum chloride) is applied topically to a small area of the body… usually the armpits, feet or hands. The aluminum chloride is then absorbed into the cells surrounding the sweat ducts as aluminum ions, which causes the cells to swell to maintain a correct salt balance. The swelling of the nearby cells causes the sweat glands to be constricted and reduces the sweat that can leave the sweat duct.

Eventually, the swelling effect subsides as the cells return to osmotic balance, and sweat starts to be released from the sweat glands again. For this reason, antiperspirants are applied regularly to the areas where sweat reduction is needed. People who suffer from excessive sweating may either need to apply a low-concentration anti perspirant more often, or use a strong concentration anti-perspirant (such as Anhydrol-Forte or Driclor). Other brand name anti-perspirants are CertainDri, an over-the-counter anti-perspirant that offers protection for up to 72 hours, Drysol, a prescription anti-perspirant you wear at night and then wash off in the morning, Odaban, Mitchum and Perspirex.

There are several different methods of treating hyperhidrosis, some of which are easy to implement, and some are more invasive/expensive.

Let’s look at a simple method… treating hyperhidrosis with aluminum chloride antiperspirants.

Basically, an antiperspirant is not the same as a deoderant. One combats sweating, the other combats smell. Most antiperspirants are low-grade versions used to treat every-day sweating. People with hyperhidrosis should look for antiperspirants containing aluminium chloride, a much stronger sweat blocker. You can use aluminium chloride anti-perspirants on your armpits, palms, soles and even on your face as long as you avoid your eye area. Aluminium chloride anti-perspirants can be bought at a pharmacists or obtained with a prescription in the UK. In the USA, they are probably available in most drug stores.

You need to apply the antiperspirant to clean, dry skin, preferably at night when sweat glands are less active. Use the antiperspirant every other day, and be sure to wash the area before applying the anti-perspirant. You can use the aluminum chloride antiperspirant for as long as you need, although after you see an improvement you should be able to only re-apply it once every one or two weeks. Doing that should help keep the excessive sweating under control.
