The So-Called True Causes of Excessive Sweating

Hello out there, this is our first Excessive Sweating Treatment post, so we’ll be gentle, but firm, especially with the following hyperhidrosis editorial.

We found this article on Ezine about the true causes of hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. It’s laughable because such a claim at this stage in the history of hyperhidrosis, is impossible to make…

Excessive sweating is a huge problem experienced by a lot of people around the world. You should know you are not alone. Many confuse causes for normal sweating with the causes for excessive sweating.

The main reason we sweat is to cool our body down to the normal body temperature of about 98 degrees Fahrenheit of 37 degrees Celsius. When we are in exercising or running to catch the bus it is natural to sweat a little. The water from the sweat get cooled down by the wind and out body stays about the normal temperature.

Okay, so the above is just article filler and really, we think everyone on the planet knows we mainly sweat to cool our bodies down.

Normal sweating might be a little problem in some situations, but it is nothing compared to excessive sweating. To a certain degree the causes for excessive sweating is similar to natural or normal causes for sweating. Still a person who struggle with excessive sweating will sweat much more in situations when others only sweat a little. Excessive sweaters will also sweat for almost no reason at all.

Causes of Excessive Sweating Despite what you might believe the real cause for excessive sweating is that excessive sweaters try too hard. It is the products you use to stop sweating that causes excessive sweating.

Okay, here is where our beef with this excessive sweating article starts. There has been no conclusive evidence that any off the shelf products cause more sweating for the majority of users. We have heard of operations for hyperhidrosis or surgeries for excessive sweating having the side effects of increased perspiration in other areas of the body, even sometimes leading to more sweating overall. However, we’ve never heard of antiperspirants having the opposite effect of sweating even more profusely for the most of the users of the antiperspirant. This might be the case for a few people, a small percentage of the time, but for the majority of people suffering from excessive sweating, this is simply not the case.

This might be hard to believe, but it is the bacteria in the shampoos, soaps and deodorants that cause your sweat palms to sweat for no reason at all. The heat under your armpits is the perfect habitant for the bacteria and then the circle starts. When the bacteria starts to live in your armpits you start to shower more, and use more soap and more deodorant. Then more bacteria starts living there and you sweat even more.

Tiny evil germs are using your sweat to breed and take over the sweating world! Actually, that’s an idea for my next movie script about excessive sweating and alien bacteria from Mars, it’s gonna make billions. Seriously, bacteria causing your palms to sweat? It might cause your palms to smell, but what’s causing your sweating is coming from inside your sweaty body and how your body reacts to situations that your brain is experiencing and feeling. Hyperhidrosis is a complicated sweating problem because it involves your nervous system.

Think about this. Have you ever experienced coming home from a 3 day hiking in the mountains or in the forest? You might smell bad but after a couple of days you really do not sweat much any more. You smell bad because you are dirty. But your sweating are slowed down because the bacteria from the soap are not added to your armpits.

Not only can this person not write well, but he or she doesn’t include some key features of the above mention situation. First of all, after a hiking trip, you are out in the elements and experiencing nature, and also exercising regularly while breathing in clean air. All of whichh is good for any health condition, even excessive sweating. There have been many documented cases where a regimen of regular exercise and eating in small portions throughout the day decreases overall hyperhidrosis. Furthermore, while we recommend to anyone to use organic soaps and shampoos, there really is no subsitute for a treatment made for excessive sweating or extreme hyperhidrosis.

I am not Telling You Not to Shower It would be weird not to shower. It would also be weird and smelly not to use any soaps or deodorants to clean you body. If you want to cure the causes for excessive sweating you need to start a cleansing process on you body. You need to get rid of all the old bacteria and start to use products that will keep the bacteria away and make you sweat free. That is the real way to get rid of the causes for excessive sweating.

The cleansing process is not very difficult to follow. You do not need to change what you eat or run 10 miles (or even a half) a day. All you need to do is to change the way you clean you body every day. Get those sweat making bacteria away!

Yeah, sweating making tiny boogey monsters… Bacteria in soap and shampoo, that’s why you sweat so much, yeesh. There are no absolutely certain, universal causes for excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis. There have been only theories and case studies on hyperhidrosis. We recommend trying out a lot of different products while reducing the stress in your life. And again, try exercising regulary and eating small portions, if this doesn’t stop your excessive sweating, at least you’ll be so sexy that people will think you’re glowing instead of sweating excessively.

    I am a long distance runner, and I sweat profusely.
    I have learned how to eat certain foods and drink while I’m running to maintina my electrolites to some degree.
    But, when I run marathons, I end up with muscle cramps, and I’m convinced it’s because I’m sweating so much that I can’t replace my electroytes and nutrients fast enough.
    What can I do to slow this sweating down?
    My running buddy, hardly sweats at all after 15 miles, and I’m soaking wet.
    I understand there are differences in each human body make up, but I want to run some good marathons.
    My muscles and are more then capable but, “I think” if I can slow down the excessively excessive sweating things should be different.
    Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

    I would love to hear a reply to above question. I run marathons as well and lose five to six pounds while still pumping in over 90 oz. of water/gatorade/sport drinks during the 3 1/2 hour race. I sweat so badly that recently after just a seven miles my shoes are sloshing because my socks are soaked. I have got to figure out this issue because I am having the same problem at mile 16 and it makes the last ten miles very ugly. Any suggestions for keeping my feet dry are welcome. Any suggestions for reducing the sweat overall is welcome

    Me too. I run in a group of 30+ people and everyone knows me for wringing out my shirt at mile 3. I too slosh in my shoes by mile 11. At San Diego Rock N Roll ‘07, I started squishing in my shoes at by 6! 20.2 miles of misery. Help us!

    About two years ago I started to sweat excessively. I don’t know why, but it just started.

    It totally sucks to have dinner plate size sweat marks under your arms when you feel confident.

    I tried so many things; increased exercise, gave up coffee, consulted a doctor, tried different products to reduce sweating – nothing worked.

    Then I stopped using soap, and wham within a few days the sweating just dropped right off to what i’d call normal levels.

    I now use a body wash product, use spray on anti-persperant so don’t smell at all :-)

    I’ve just stopped using soap.

    I think there is something to the article you describe. I’m not suggesting it is the answer for everyone but it certainly worked for me.

    Only reason I’ve commented is because I know how much this can impact your life.

    Cheers.

    I have mentioned, that the people who suffer from overweight usually have problems with excessive sweating. That’s why I am absolutely shure that all those treatments are worthless. You have to do something about your diet first.

    I have to say, I have used a lot of other face creams and the PURE ALOE face treatment from the Made from Earth skin care is the only cream that makes my face softer, glowy and dewy after a few weeks use.

    I’ve been using the pure aloe face treatment for a couple of years now and I always notice that if I switch to a different cream (often when I run out of the Pure Aloe Treatment), I always can tell the difference..my skin gets dry/tired looking. Also noticed more pimples.. When I apply the Pure Aloe on my skin, it is always noticeable smoother, tighter and almost translucent looking. My rosacea also subsides and I have a more even skin tone. No marketing ploy here. Just have a great experience using this cream. Also, just to note, this cream is not made to reduce wrinkles, but more to prevent them. If you already have wrinkles, you can’t expect miracles that they would go away using this product. …from the Made from Earth product line and highly recommended.

    That’s why its always good to start using this product early to prevent signs of aging (sun spots, laugh lines, freckles, etc..)…

    I have been using PROPANTHELINE – 2 TABLETS by mouth -15mg each tablet. I do not take them with water. I wait at least one half hour before drinking any coffee…this has helped me deal with excessive sweating of my hands and feet. As an educator, administrator, minister, I can not begin to tell you the relief I experience in having a positive experience this has been for me. Depending on the intensity of the day…sometimes I would take two tablets in late afternoon to deal with late meetings etc. At first I was taking six tablets a day…and with water. By not taking water in the morning with the tablets I have solved the problem. I’d strongly recommend this alternative solutions to those suffering from hyperhidrosis. Jack Kennevan. I’d appreciate a response. Thanks.

    It is difficult to imagine the social awkwardness and embarrassment that this condition can cause. Excessive underarm sweating may find it difficult to negotiate everyday social situations that require them to mingle closely with others. For most sufferers the constant anxiety regarding too much underarm sweat can affect not only their personal and social lives but their professional lives as well. Typically these people tend to possess low self-esteem and prefer to remain isolated from their peers. If any of you has this condition, better see a doctor promptly.
