How to treat hyperhidrosis at home

Sweat is a normal and natural occurrence. If the human body ceases to excrete fluid, it will receive a heat stroke. The skin is covered with droplets of moisture in sports, due to stress and heat. In summer, the body of a healthy person produces from 0.5 to 1 liter of sweat, in winter a little less. But if the feet and palms never dry, and T-shirts in the back and armpits get wet in a matter of minutes, we can talk about hyperhidrosis.

First step: diagnosis

Increased sweating occurs due to the intake of certain drugs:

• physostigmine;
• aspirin;
• pilocarpine;
• analgesics;
• insulin;
• cholinergic agents.

If the medicine was prescribed by a doctor, you should consult with him and reduce the dosage or choose another option. The reason is not in the preparations? A person needs a detailed examination,for hyperhidrosis can signal such serious diseases as:

• diabetes;
• prolonged depression;
• malignant or benign growths;
• hypoglycemia;
• endocrine disorders, accompanied by hormonal disruptions;
• tuberculosis;
• chronic inflammation.

Excessive sweating indicates the presence of a latent infection, such as a staphylococcal or streptococcal bacillus. The problem arises due to genetic disorders or damage to the central nervous system. Hyperhidrosis is observed in patients with vascular dystonia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

It is not possible to start treatment of hyperhidrosis if its cause is unknown.Traditional methods and pharmaceutical preparations can only harm the body and worsen the work of the sweat glands.

Change in diet

Stimulate perspiration hot drinks and food. Soups and jellies need to be cooled to room temperature. Black tea and coffee is desirable not to use. They contain caffeine, because of which the pressure rises, heartbeat quickens and hyperhidrosis appears.

The sympathetic nervous system responsible for the work of the sweat glands activates:

• chilli;
• pork;
• garlic;
• alcohol;
• chocolate;
• spicy ketchup;
• coriander;
• sweet soda;
• ginger and black or allspice;
• salt;
• energy drinks.

The reaction appears 30–50 minutes after consuming the stimulating product. It is recommended to avoid fast carbohydrates, because of which the insulin level rises sharply, as well as to reduce the consumption of dishes that are high in protein.

Patients with hyperhidrosis should enter buckwheat porridge and parsley, carrots and kohlrabi into the diet. Useful figs and lettuce, yeast and distilled water without gas. Coffee and tea are replaced with herbal decoctions.With frequent stress brew chamomile or mint. Bad mood and nervousness are treated with valerian root or motherwort.

Reduce the amount of dairy products. Instead of cottage cheese and kefir consume more fresh fruits and berries. They strengthen the immune system, weakened by infections, improve the condition of the intestines and sweat glands. Many vitamins are found in salads and stews from vegetables and greens.

Fasting with hyperhidrosis is contraindicated. Any diet - this is stress, which leads to increased sweating. Pharmaceutical vitamin complexes are recommended in the autumn. They will support the body, weakened by viruses and low temperatures.

Clothing and hygiene rules

T-shirts and blouses from synthetics are contraindicated. The material does not allow air to pass through, and the skin must breathe, otherwise irritation will occur and the sweat glands will not work. In case of hyperhidrosis, tight clothes should be avoided, only cotton and other natural fabrics should be worn.

It is important to maintain hygiene and take a shower or bath twice a day. Armpits, palms and feet sing more often, and the skin between the fingers is rubbed with lotions or herbal decoctions.Water procedures clean sweat glands from dirt and normalize their work. It is better to take a cool or contrast shower, which narrows the pores and reduces the amount of sweat.

Conventional deodorants are replaced with antiperspirants, which contain aluminum chloride. The substance reacts with the protein of the skin and narrows the sweat tubules. It does not clog, as deodorants do, but only reduces the amount of excreted fluid.

There are special antiperspirants designed for people with hyperhidrosis:

• Dry drive;
• Approved;
• Drisol.

Means are expensive, but they eliminate sweating and odor for several weeks. Antiperspirants do not use for too long, otherwise irritation will appear on the skin.

Folk remedies for external use

Natural remedies are used in the initial and middle stages of hyperhidrosis. Herbs soothe and constrict the sweat glands, but folk compositions should be used regularly and at least 2-3 months.
