What is Hyperhydrosis?

Hyperhydrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive and unpredictable sweating, even in cool weather or while resting. The sweating is abnormal and occurs in excess of what the body requires for regulating body temperature.

Symptoms

Excessive sweating or wetness beyond the body's normal temperature-regulating requirement
Sweating that may occur unpredictably, even during rest or in cool weather
Sweating focused in specific areas such as the palms, armpits, and feet in primary or focal hyperhydrosis
Generalized sweating across the body when linked to an underlying medical condition
Emotional and physical discomfort caused by persistent wetness

Causes

Sweating is the body's natural response to warm weather, exercise, or strong emotional reactions such as nervousness, anger, embarrassment, or fear.
Hyperhydrosis does not depend on these common triggers and is more often associated with overactive sweat glands.
Primary or focal hyperhydrosis affects particular areas such as the palms, armpits, and feet. It is found to distress about 2%-3% of the population, and doctors generally credit it to genes running in the family.
Secondary hyperhydrosis occurs when excessive sweating is due to another medical condition and the entire body suffers from undue sweating.
Conditions associated with secondary hyperhydrosis may include anxiety conditions, acromegaly, cancer, carcinoid syndrome, certain substances of abuse and medication, heart diseases, lung diseases, menopause, tuberculosis, Parkinson's disease, etc.

Who can get affected?

This disorder affects both sexes and all races indiscriminately. In a few cases it is noticed in childhood, but more often it is prevalent in the age group of 25-64 years.

Homeopathic Treatment Approach

Though hyperhydrosis does not pose any life-endangering threat, it certainly calls for treatment because it can lead to great emotional and physical discomfort. Homeopathy concentrates on the root cause and offers excellent remedies for hyperhydrosis.

Chamomilla

It is indicated with nervousness, irritability, over-sensitivity, and an excitable temperament. Sweating increases when one feels angry or is exposed to heat, especially in the late evening and before midnight.

Opium

It is indicated with less vitality and body energy, especially in old age. Even slight warmth and stimulants may lead to incessant perspiration. Sleep is also troubled and not satisfactory.

Causticum

People prescribed this remedy are usually melancholic in temperament and are more susceptible to respiratory and urinary tract disorders. They may experience excessive perspiration when stepping into a warm room from fresh air, and sudden cold air can also leave them sweating profusely.
