Causes and Treatment of Sweaty Hands and Feet
Sweating is the body’s natural response to increased temperature. However, when the hands and feet are always sweaty, it can cause shame. Excessive sweating is also referred to as hyperhidrosis and it is a condition that approximately 1 to 2 percent of the world’s population lives with. People who have sweaty hands and feet are often embarrassed to go out in public. For years, doctors have underestimated the seriousness of this condition.
What are some of the most common causes of sweaty hands and feet?
Health researchers have found that most people who suffer from sweaty palms and feet (hyperhidrosis) have a family history of it. People who have anxiety are also more likely to suffer from this condition. Obesity, hyperthyroidism, infections and diabetes may also play a role in the development of hyperhidrosis. Additionally, there has also been evidence to suggest that a diet that is high in sugar, caffeine and spicy foods can lead to the development of hyperhidrosis.
What are some natural ways of treating excessive sweating in the hands and the feet?
People who are overweight sweat more because the extra weight puts a strain on their bodies. There has been evidence to suggest that losing just a few pounds can help stop excessive sweating. Anxiety is one of the many causes of hyperhidrosis and some health experts believe that eating more B vitamins can help calm the body. B vitamins are found in poultry, milk, fruits, vegetables and grains. Calcium and magnesium are also believed to have a calming effect on the body.
There are numerous over-the-counter antiperspirants that can help correct this problem. These antiperspirants contain aluminum chloride, which is a compound that helps prevent excessive sweating. Additionally, sweating in the feet can be caused by a condition called athlete’s foot. Over-the-counter products are also available to treat this condition.
When Should I See My Doctor About this Condition?
People who have tried home remedies and changing their lifestyle should consult with their doctors. A doctor can prescribe antiperspirant that is stronger than many of the over-the-counter ones. It is also important to note that sweaty hands and feet can indicate a serious health condition such as diabetes and an over-active thyroid. Those conditions will need to be treated before the excessive sweating can be alleviated.
A person can also elect to have surgery as a last resort. Many doctors are reluctant to perform this type of surgery because there are potential risks. However, this type of surgery is minimally invasive, so the risk of complications is relatively low. This surgery is performed by cutting the nerves that relay messages to the sweat glands. Many people have had their lives changed for the better after having this surgery.
But most people do not want to undergo surgery. If you are one of them, I highly recommend having a look at one ebook that has already helped thousands of people suffering from excessive sweating to get rid of this condition naturally. The ebook is called:
