Looking to stop sweating hands? It can be quite a nuisance especially in social situations where you're frequently shaking hands.
If you sweat excessively from your hands, chances are you have a condition known as Palmar Hyperhidrosis.
Palmar Hyperhidrosis is one of the most common forms of excessive sweating and over 8 million people around the world suffer from this.
So what can you do to prevent the embarrassment in social situations? Here are a few things you can try: Firstly, get a gel based antiperspirant.
These are a little hard to find in stores but they can definitely be found online.
This sure beats rubbing a antiperspirant stick over your hands and is one of the best ways to stop sweating hands.
Another thing you can do is to practice Yoga.
A lot of the times this type of Hyperhidrosis is the cause of anxiety and taking up Yoga can help teach you how to be more relaxed on a daily basis.
Take up daily Yoga classes and practice deep slow breathing to keep your anxiety levels under control, and subsequently your sweating.
Lastly, if you want to stop sweating hands from driving you crazy, you can opt for Botox injections.
What happens here is you will have Botox injected into several points on the palm of your hand.
The Botox will work to interfere with your sympathetic nervous system communicating with your sweat glands.
You see your nerves are what signal your sweat glands to sweat in the first place, so by introducing Botox, you are in essence scrambling that signal and thus reducing how much you sweat.
This works in over 80% of cases to drastically reduce Palmar Hyperhidrosis, however it is costly and you will need to repeat this every 6-12 months.
