Excessive sweating is a health condition that many people suffer from. It is also known as over sweating, profuse sweating as well as extreme sweating and in medical terms is called Hyperhidrosis.

Excessive sweating is something that millions of people suffer from daily and sometimes, something as simple as moving from one room to the other room, can cause a person to sweat uncontrollably. For some people who suffer from excessive sweating, it has become such a problem that they are forced to resort to drastic methods such as surgery or strong medications, to resolve their problems.

Of course this is not always the case, and not all people who suffer from an excessive sweating problem need to use these methods. These people can instead use other methods which are also readily available such as herbal treatments and other holistic remedies. These can include such things as homeopathy, acupuncture and ayurveda.

Not everyone likes to use these types of "exotic" treatments, and for these individuals treatment for their over sweating problem can be found in the arms of more conventional medications and remedies. To find out what these are, you might first want to consult with your physician. You will then be able to get a better picture of what your options are for dealing with the problem of excessive sweating.

Of course, although these methods don't always work, especially if excessive sweating runs in your family, you can try to control, or rather change, your diet. Sometimes dietary habits can have a larger impact on your body functions than you even realize. Another thing that you might want to look into, and which can also sometimes have a good reaction, is changing your lifestyle somewhat.

More to the point, try to stay as stress free as possible since stress can also bring about excessive sweating. Just think back to the last stress filled situation that you were in, were you not sweating profusely, even though you might not have realized it at the time?

Stress and anxiety-induced over sweating can be controlled more easily than you think, and if you feel that you need help in dealing with this aspect of your life, you can even seek the help of a trained and qualified therapist.

You can of course use commercially available antiperspirants and things, but with the case of excessive sweating these might just not be strong enough to deal with your problem.

Or as mentioned earlier, if your excessive sweating problems are all genetic and passed down to you through your family tree, then help might still be at hand. Ask other members of your family what they did to control their excessive sweating problems. You might find that the answer is lying within your reach!
