How To Sweat Less

This article will give information on how to sweat less including causes of excessive sweating.

The correct name for the disorder of excessive sweating is called: Hyperhidrosis. There are two types - focal and general. Focal hyperhidrosis occurs in a specific place of the body e.g. the hands, while general hyperhidrosis happens over the whole of the body.

The causes of excessive sweating are mainly genetic but it can be due to illnesses, obesity, puberty, endocrine problems, a warm climate, diet, strenuous activities and abnormalities of the nerves. There are a variety of causes. If your parents have had excessive sweating then genetics are most likely the cause.

The main and most effective way of curing hyperhidrosis is surgery - a procedure called 'endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy', but surgery can be costly and inconvenient.

There are a wide range of alternative methods such as lotions, gels, pills and electronic devices that can be used.
