Sweaty palms and soles Homeopathy

Sweaty palms are more properly known as palmar hyperhidrosis, Although the exact cause of sweaty palms is still debated, many experts believe it is caused by a hyperactive sympathetic nervous system, causing the sweat glands in the hands to produce sweat unnecessarily.

Body uses sweat to help regulate temperature to maintain the functioning of the all the organs smoothly. The human body has millions of sweat glands, and more than half of them are found in the hands. When the body gets exhausted – through physical exertion, extreme temperatures, or stress – the sweat glands release sweat to help the body relax and get back to normal temperature range.

People who have severe palmar hyperhidrosis experience sweaty palms even when it is not required while the body is getting relaxed. This can cause severe discomfort and embarrassment and can get in the way of performing certain everyday tasks. Though sweaty palms are treatable through a number of different procedures, there is no complete cure, and most people continue to live with the condition throughout their lives.

In the past, the medical establishment tended to diagnose sweaty palms as a purely psychosomatic illness, but this view is gradually fading. The most common cause of sweaty palms, as well as other types of hyperhidrosis, is an overactive sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system manages all sorts of functions in the body that make up what is commonly termed the fight-or-flight response; this includes the release of a number of chemicals such as adrenaline, increasing heart rate, constricting blood vessels, and of course, sweating. When the sympathetic nervous system malfunctions, certain fight-or-flight responses may be triggered at inappropriate times, as in the case of sweaty palms.
