Stop The Sweat

Some people wish to try herbal remedies to attempt to fix hyperhidrosis in an attempt to stay away from synthetic drugs and what is perceived as “risky” surgery.

Do They Work?

Few studies have been done on herbal remedies to cure excessive sweating. The medical establishment and even sufferers themselves tend to have a very poor view of herbal remedies and do not believe that they have any significant effect.

While they may reduce a little sweating, they are generally regarded as not being very useful for hyperhidrosis sufferers whose sweating is frankly otherwise uncontrollable.

Nevertheless, if you wish to investigate possible herbal remedies then these are some that have been suggested:

St. John’s Wort
Kava Kava
Chamomile
Valerian
Silica
Chinese herb tea
Fumitory
Wild Indigo
Chebulic Myrobalan
Neem Bark
Indian Barberry
Neem Seed

Also, it is advised to stay away from some herbs which will increase body heat and metabolism. These include ginseng, yohimbe and ephedra to name just three.
