Sweaty palms

May 15, 2020

most people who get sweaty palms a lot don't have a health problem. but there is a medical condition called hyperhidrosis (pronounced: hye-pur-hye-droe-sis) that can cause a person's palms, feet, armpits, and other parts of the body to sweat heavily.

hyperhidrosis usually begins around puberty. if a person has hyperhidrosis, a number of things can trigger the sweating, including alcohol, certain drugs, hormones, spicy foods, stress, and diseases like diabetes.

the good news about hyperhidrosis is that doctors have several different options for treating it. these include prescription solutions that a person applies to the skin and in-office electrical treatments.

antiperspirants are commonly associated with underarm sweating, but these are also effective for stopping perspiration in different areas of the body, including the hands. baking soda is a quick and inexpensive way to reduce sweaty hands. most people have a box of baking soda in their kitchen or bathroom. if you have hyperhidrosis, organic apple cider vinegar can keep your sweaty palms dry by balancing ph levels in your body. you can wipe your palms with apple cider vinegar.
