When a person sweats more than the normal, it is called excessive sweating or Hyperhidrosis. It can be the result of any illness or it can be just because of too much of activity in your nervous system. Below are given some tips to reduce excessive sweating.
Firstly, consult a doctor to know the exact cause of excessive sweating. The information would determine the ways of your treatment.
Natural remedies like honey and sage tea are very helpful to reduce sweating. Then, you can apply some topical lotions and antiperspirants on the affected parts. Oral medications like anticholinergics help to lessen the sweat release as they restrain the stimulation of your sweat glands. But it is not effective on focal sweating. Electric stimulation is also advised, especially for the sweaty feet or hands. Then there are Botox injections and surgeries like Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy, Axillary Suction Curettage and Lumbar Sympathectomy.
But all these, apart from the natural ones can have side effects. So, consult a doctor before trying them.
