Sweating...........?
There are several options that attempt to treat axillary hyperhydrosis; some of these methods of approach have proven more successful than others. The first step usually taken is to try a prescribed topical antiperspirant. The powerful chemical found in these prescriptions is aluminum chloride, usually between 20-25 percent in an alcohol solution. The aluminum chloride prevents the sweat from escaping the pores (http://www.sfderm.com/body_undrarm.html)... If the case of hyperhydrosis is heavier than light, the antiperspirant may very well not be effective. There are additional options yet they all come with drawbacks. (http://www.parsec.it/summit/hyper1e.htm)











One of these options that is not extremely convenient for problems in the axillary area is to use a battery-powered electric current under the arms in twenty minute intervals every few days, gradually increasing the time between intervals to every-other week. This procedure is referred to as “iontophoresis.”











Glogau asserts “oral anticholinergic drugs such as glycopyrrolate” (1998, p.817) have been tried by dermatologists to cure hyperhydrosis, yet they have not proven successful. And although psychotherapy may be recommended, it will not usually be an aid to treating primary hyperhydrosis because it has been proven that it is not a psychological disorder. However, secondary hyperhydrosis may be treated successfully by psychotherapy. Primary hyperhydrosis is different from secondary hyperhydrosis in that there is not another disorder linked to hyperhydrosis. Secondary hyperhydrosis is a side effect of another disorder. “Secondary hyperhidrosis can be associated with obesity, menopause, drug use (antidepressants), endocrine disorders (htpoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma), and neurologic conditions involving autonomic dysregulation…” (1998, p.1237). “Alternative therapy including homoeopathy, massage, acupuncture and phytotherapeutic drugs” (http://www.parsec.it/summit/hyper1e.htm) have been used to experiment with many sufferers, yet these remedies have not proven successful.

There are a few surgical options if the above treatments have not alleviated the excess sweating.
Reply:I had the same problem. I try a free sample of secret clinical strength deodorant. It really worked. Go to secret website and try a free sample. It help alot.
Reply:Hyperhidrosis can be caused by food allergies, or a mineral/vitamin deficiency. I had the ETS surgery done, it's very expensive.





I had hyperhidrosis (and a few other symptoms) for many years and went through all the usual treatments. Anticholinergic drugs, applying topical solutions, botox, and ETS surgery. The surgery was most helpful but several years later hyperhidrosis began to return.





Years later I was diagnosed with celiac disease, along with a few food allergies. I eliminated wheat, dairy, and sugar from my diet and stopped all prescriptions. I began taking supplements:





- Vitamin B complex


Contains 50mg of every B vitamin plus Folic Acid


- Mineral complex


Contains Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Zinc, etc.

(This is not the cause of hyperhidrosis but caused my food allergies and mineral/vitamin malabsorption)
