If you’re wondering what the best sweating treatments that are available to you, there really is no one best method, it all depends on your particular case. For some who have a milder case of excessive sweating, a prescription antiperspirant may be enough to control the problem. For others, surgery is a risk they are willing to take to achieve an 80-90% reduction in their sweating. It’s all individual, but here we will go over a few more treatments which you can consider trying out.
Iontophoresis – Out of all the sweating treatments, this is one which has a high success rate, over 80%. It only works for sweating of the hands or feet though. What happens is you place your hands or feet in a shallow pan filled with water, where an electric current is passed through it. The electric current reacts with minerals in the water to form a protective barrier around your skin which works to prevent excess sweat from coming through. This treatment needs to be repeated though every other day initially. Eventually you can work you way up to having it only once a month though.
Out of all the sweating treatments, there is also the possibility of surgery as mentioned previously. The surgery is called ETS Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy, it’s an option you only want to consider if you have an extreme case of sweating as it is very invasive and cannot be reversed. The other thing is complications such as compensatory sweating can develop, where your body begins to sweat more in other areas to make up for not sweating as much in your underarms.
Lastly, there are Botox injections. Botox injections work to intefere with your nerves ability to communicate with the sweat glands. If your nerves cannot tell your sweat glands to produce more sweat, you don’t sweat as much, it’s as simple as that, and the Botox works to disrupt that communication. Botox injections will last for about 6 to 12 months.
Advice for the Excessive Sweater

I wanted to take the time to share some advice for the excessive sweater. I’ve spent most of my life experiencing this problem. It was very embarrassing always being sweaty and my clothing being wet. There isn’t much information out there available to help cure this, but I’ve done some research and learned a lot.
You will want to change the type of material you wear as clothing. Most new clothing today has unnatural fibers. They do not breath at all, leaving your body extremely hot underneath. You will want to get your hands on clothes with fibers that breath. Take for example cotton, you will find that the hot air is able to escape and your body will remain cool and not sweat.
Excess sweaters are typically overweight. It just comes down to basic physics. When you have to move around more weight, you have to expend more energy. This creates heat. As well, your fat will act as insulation and it just makes you even hotter. It is best to start dropping the weight just for your regular health, as well as allowing the body to cool, so you don’t have to sweat all the time.
Next, you need to learn to mentally cool yourself down. Often we get stressed out or nervous and we sweat. If you’re excess sweating, often your nerves are firing all the time. With mediation and other calming techniques you can calm yourself down, so you don’t sweat.
Food plays the biggest role in sweating. Your body reacts to food and you have to make sure you’re not eating the ones that make your body get hot and start to sweat. This could as simple as spicy food, but there are a lot of them out there.
