Hyperhidrosis-Excessive Sweating
Those who suffer from excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis know very well that
how embarrassing is it. If not embarrassing, excess sweating causes discomfort to
them. This article will give you some natural home and herbal remedies for
excessive sweating. However, before knowing these excess sweating natural
remedies, it is good to understand it and know the causes for excessive sweating
(hyperhidrosis) so that you can choose the best remedy for your type of
hyperhidrosis.
Understanding Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Just sweating more than other people when it's hot or when physical
exertion is undertaken, it is not hyperhidrosis. It is just variations in
levels of sweating. However, if there is excessive sweating without a
good reason- like sweating even in mild temperatures or without being
stressed physically or mentally- it can be a sign of hyperhidrosis.
There are two types of excessive sweating "hyperhidrosis"- primary
hyperhidrosis (localized hyperhidrosis) and secondary hyperhidrosis

2. (generalized hyperhidrosis). The primary hyperhidrosis is the medical
condition itself while in secondary hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating is
caused by some other medical condition or medication.
In primary hyperhidrosis, excess sweating is localized such as in the
armpits, on the palms, face or on the feet, etc. There are different
medical names for this. Axillary hyperhidrosis refers to excess sweating
of the armpits and Palmoplantar hyperhidrosis means sweating of the
soles of the feet or the palms. In most of the cases of secondary
hyperhidrosis, generally the whole body sweats excessively.
Causes of Excessive Sweating
Primary hyperhidrosis though is a medical condition; it is not a sign of disease. It is
also called focal or localized as it only affects particular parts of the body like
underarms, groin, head, face, hands, or feet. This type of hyperhidrosis possibly is
a result of a minor malfunction in the nervous system. Sometimes this
is genetic too.
Secondary or generalized hyperhidrosis causes whole body to sweat. It is caused
by many factors including health condition, medications etc. Some of the common
causes of generalized excessive sweating of the body include:
• Menopause
• Pregnancy
• Thyroid
• Diabetes
• Alcoholism
• Infectious diseases such as tuberculosis
• Parkinson's disease
• Rheumatoid arthritis
