3 Ways To Treat Sweaty Hands
Many people suffer with excessive, uncontrollable sweating in the palms of the hands.
This is a condition called palmar hyperhidrosis
and is caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system.
If your body is under mental or physical stress, the nervous system activates these sweat glands.
Excessive sweating can also occur on the feet, underarms and groin areas
because these areas have a larger amount of eccrine sweat glands beneath the skin.
Sweaty palms can be very embarrassing, but can also make hand work difficult
such as writing for example.
In today's video I'm going to cover the top 3 ways to treat sweaty hands and hyperhidrosis naturally.

1. Vitamin B1 The most powerful
remedy for sweaty palms is Vitamin B1.
As I mentioned earlier, overactive sweat glands in your hands are triggered
when the sympathetic nervous system is overburdened by stress.
Many people live in a constant state of stress, anxiety and tension which puts
the body into fight/flight mode, which then triggers sweaty palms, feet and armpits.
Vitamin B1 is the key nutrient that your body needs to turn off the stress response,
by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
If you wish you may take a powerful supplement called benfotiamine,
which is a fat soluble version of Vitamin B1.
This penetrates deep into the nerve cells and helps to turn off the fight/flight mechanism,
and therefore stop your hands from sweating more than they should.
You can also get B1 from eating nutritional yeast, beef liver, eggs and sunflower seeds.
2. Iontophoresis The second treatment is called iontophoresis.
There is also a simple medical treatment where you
sit with both hands in a shallow tray filled with tap water mixed with a teaspoon of sea salt.
The machine sends a small electrical current around
7-10Ma through the water which can help to turn off overactive sweat glands.
This treatment usually takes around 10-20 minutes depending on which machine is used,
and can stop the hands from over sweating for 3-4 days.
Electrically charged ions from the water
gently go into the eccrine glands to stop them from over sweating.
In some people the treatment is not strong enough,
in which case a doctor can prescribe a stronger liquid
called glycopyrrolate which can also be added to the water in this machine for fast results.
3. Baking Soda Last but not least is baking soda
Baking soda is an alkaline powder which has thousands of different uses
and is an excellent remedy for sweating.
Simply mix 2 teaspoons of baking soda with a little water to create a paste. Rub this
paste over your hands and palms, massaging in for about 5 minutes and then wash your hands.
The alkaline nature of sodium bicarbonate acts as a natural deodorant and can also prevent odours
by counteracting certain bacteria that live on the skin.
This is why is commonly added to natural deodorants and products.
