Curse for hyperhidrosis are many. Some are good, some are bad and some are just downright ugly. You deserve the best cure so arm yourself with the knowledge that you need. After all, it's your health we're talking about.

Medical Grade Antiperspirants

These are the easiest thing to try. Although you can't buy them in the store, you can get them from your doctor.

Remember, they can be used anywhere on the body and not just the underarms.

Antidepressants

These drugs help a lot of people with hyperhidrosis. If you find that your biggest problems are when you are anxious, afraid or excited, then these drugs can help to control that.

Antichollinergics

These drugs reduce all the secretions in your body. So not just your sweating but also your tears and other secretions.

They do have side effects and your body cannot lose heat quickly so you can get high temperatures if you are not careful but nevertheless, many people rely on them.

Iontophoresis

For those of you who do not like drugs, this could be a better alternative.

It can really only be used for the hands, feet and underarms. During the procedure, a small electric current is delivered to these parts of the body and after 20 minutes the sweat ducts are blocked.

The effects last for around 3 weeks until a new treatment is required.

Surgery

Surgery is always a last resort. There are 2 types of surgery.

The first is liposuction-curettage. This is where the sweat glands are scraped away.

The second is ETS surgery where the nerves are cut. This is highly controversial and carries major side effects!

Natural Methods

If you look at all the above methods, none of them are real "cures". They all address the symptoms, the sweating. But none of them address the imbalance in your sympathetic nervous system which is the true cause.

The human body is very versatile, and a few changes to your lifestyle and the types of food that you eat are enough to restore this balance. These natural methods are safer and more effective than other treatments.
