How to Stop Sweaty Palms

The condition of sweaty palms is also known as palmar hyperhidrosis. If you have this condition then it might be highly embarrassing, perhaps even detrimental to your success - but the most important thing for you to know is that you are not alone, and there are remedies for excessive sweating.

There is a lot of information out there about how to stop sweaty palms, making it hard to know just what the right way of going about it is. The truth is that there is no one, miracle cure that's going to work for everyone - but there are a number of different things you can try.

For armpits there are superficial treatments like underarm sweat pads, but none are available for your palms. This Hub is going to discuss a number of ways that you may be able to help your problem. Remember, everyone's body is different, but it is worth trying what you can as a way of helping you to feel confident in yourself once again.

Firstly, I am going to start with a number of home, hyperhidrosis natural remedies that could help you. None are guaranteed to work, but the good news is that they are a cheap and easy way to attempt to stop sweaty palms and overactive sweat glands before resorting to expensive surgery.

1. Tomato

One remedy states that you should wash your hands in a sink full of water that has been mixed with a cup of tomato juice. Apparently this can help to slow down the sweat coming from your palms - you can even do this for your whole body if you sweat too much in other areas.

2. Exfoliation

You should always try to exfoliate your skin. There are a number of products to help you do this, including special exfoliating soaps that include rough material.

3. Bicarbonate of Soda

This is an ingredient used in many different home remedies. It works best when you massage it onto your hands for five minutes and wash it off. Why? It can act as a natural deodorant.

4. Apple Cider Vinegar

This is another popular home remedy ingredient. Many people have claimed that this can reduce sweating, by bathing your hands in a mixture for around 5 minutes. However, you should be careful as it could also irritate your skin.

The home remedies above are not guaranteed to stop sweaty palms, or other conditions such as menopause sweating or excessive sweating armpits, and if they don't work for you then you might have to try some other treatment options.

1. Special Cream

There are a number of creams available designed to stop your palms sweating. There have been mixed results claimed from these creams, but they could be worth a try.

2. Botox

This is popularly used as a way of stopping sweat, but it can be expensive and many people do not feel comfortable with the fact that they're injecting toxic substances into their body.

3. ETS Surgery

This is an expensive treatment option, and works by burning out sweat glands responsible for your problems. The main risk with this kind of treatment is that you could experience compensatory sweating in other areas of the body including under the arms, in the face, the feet and other places.

4. Iontophoresis

This is becoming a more and more popular option for excessive sweating and involves an electric current causing a chemical reaction that can help to stop your sweating. This process will need to be repeated regularly to ensure it keeps working.

It is possible to stop sweaty palms as well as other forms such as sweaty arm pits,but you should realise that it may take a few different treatments before you find the one that really works for you.
