Natural Remedies For Hyperhidrosis

Excessive sweating in the armpits, feet and hands is called “hyperhidrosis”.

Do you suffer from hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, especially in summer? So, don’t miss out on this article, where we explain the best natural remedies to fight excessive sweating.

Pay attention to our advice and say goodbye to that heavy sweating!

What is sweating used for?

First of all, it should be understood that the purpose of sweating is to regulate our body temperature. When the skin is a few degrees warmer than normal, the body then begins to sweat to cool it down.

We sweat, for example, when:

• We are too covered,
• The temperature of a room is too high,
• We have a fever
• In broad daylight,
• Ambient temperature exceeds 30 ° C
• During or after sport.

Sweating is a secretion from the glands. That is to say a mixture of water, mineral salts, amino acids and urea.

If we sweat through all the pores, there are areas where the sweat glands concentrate, accumulate and create an abundance of perspiration.

This is why the face, armpits, palms of the hands and the soles of the feet are the places where we sweat the most.

With perspiration, we also filter the blood and get rid of impurities (such as alcohol, fat, tobacco).

Excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis occurs when there is an impairment of the sympathetic nervous system. This increases the need to sweat in order to regulate body temperature.

Many people suffer from this problem, primarily because of the climate. Whether it is summer or there is too much humidity.

Second is the emotional state. So when someone is very nervous, anxious, stressed or depressed, they may sweat more than normal.

If this phenomenon only caused a little sweating in the armpits, it wouldn’t be boring. But everything gets worse when the symptoms are also accompanied by bad smells, irritation, the appearance of yeast infections, etc.
