Most people only sweat then they are hot or have been participating in some physical exertion such as sorts and some people are lucky in the sense that they usually only sweat when they have a fever. Unfortunately for some people, this normal sweating is not the case and they suffer from more severe excessive sweating from their head or other areas of the body and they suffer on a daily basis. There is a name for this condition, it is known as hyperhidrosis. It can be a humiliating experience and cause people anxiety and stress and sometimes even depression.
There are many possible causes of head sweating. Sweating itself is a normal process of the human body which is done to regulate and maintain a good body temperature. Hyperactivity of the sweat glands will cause you to sweat more even during normal situations where as if your sweat glands are not hyperactive then you will usually not sweat under these circumstances at all. Menopause, obesity, thyroid problems, alcoholism and other problems such as after effects of medications may cause this profuse sweating. Some people are genetically predisposed to this condition also.
A good first step to take when determining the cause of your excessive head sweating is to try and think back to when you began experiencing the sweating. If you’ve always had it for as long as you can remember then speak with your family members to see if any other family members have also experienced this condition. If you have a weight issue such as obesity then it’s likely that this is the cause. Some medications taken to treat other medical conditions may also be the cause of your excessive sweating.
There are many different treatments available for this condition but the effectiveness of the treatment really depends on what is causing the sweating and also some treatments may have varying levels of effectiveness from person to person. If the cause of the sweating is something which is easily identified such as obesity the first step in treating the sweating is treating the obesity. This may be difficult and may take time but you will be greatly improving your health as well as reducing or even stopping your excessive sweating. Sage tea extracts and also apple cider vinegars have also been shown to be effective in reducing excessive sweating.
B Vitamins and Iodine are good for a healthy functioning thyroid. People suffering from thyroid problems should try other natural supplements such as seaweeds, blue green algae and also spirulina. Primrose oil can also provide some benefits for your thyroid function.
To replace the fluids which are lost from your body as a result of your excessive head sweating you need to keep well hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Although some people choose to, it’s not really the best idea to use antiperspirants on your head and face as the skin on your head and face is often more sensitive than the skin on the rest of your body. Our minds can influence how our bodies function much more than we give it credit for, some relaxation such as meditation may do wonders for your condition.
