Stop Sweating

Stop Sweating
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating.
Palmar Hyperhidrosis is th term for sweaty hands and is the
most common form of all sweating types. Excessive sweating
is caused by an over activity of the sympathetic nervous
system.

A sweating problem is most often uncontrollable,
uncomfortable, and irregular. In Someone that suffers from
hyperhidrosis, often their bodies have surpassed the body's
normal needs for thermal regulation.

It is not possible for most people to just become
accustomed and deal with profuse sweating. A sweating
problem can sometimes have sever physiological effects
including but not limited to dehydration and skin
infections, severe body odors and clammy cold hands. It can
also wreak havoc on someone emotionally making most social,
academic and business interactions very uncomfortable.
Daily chores such as showering twice daily, changing shirts
and socks throughout the day, applying deodorant constantly
or wearing dress shields sometimes become impossible to
follow. Because of the latest research and progress in
medication and awareness there are many more treatments
available stop sweating and lessen the effects
Hyperhidrosis has on its sufferers.

Treatments include: antiperspirants, botox, surgery and
even alternative natural remedies which are very popular
because they are inexpensive, all natural and non
intrusive. They also do not pose the side effects that
medication and surgery carry. Underarm sweating can
sometimes be controlled with over the counter
antiperspirants. However, more severe cases may need
prescription strength products. Antiperspirants that have
aluminum chloride hexahydrate work the best and are
recommended.

Depending on the severity of your sweating problem you may
need to apply the antiperspirant twice daily. Most users
report relief within a week. After the initial period when
relief is experienced some can take the application down to
just once daily or every other day.

Many times a side product of severe sweating is unpleasant
odor. When showering try using antibacterial soap which
removes the bacteria and yeast that builds up in damp areas
causing the odor. Although extreme sometimes shaving for a
man of the underarm or other area may also help with the
odor. A deodorant will not help to curb the sweating but
will mask the odor. Antiperspirants will clog the sweat
ducts in essence blocking the sweat from coming out.

3 Simple Tips To Stop Sweating
