Some people feel that their hands and feet sweat easily, especially when they are nervous. Some people can even find sweat dripping like water drops, especially in summer, which naturally makes people feel particularly uncomfortable. So why do people have this phenomenon, and what measures should be taken to improve it after this symptom appears?
Sweating on hands and feet (cause of hyperhidrosis):
If people can't sleep and don't sweat much, they often sweat much more than normal people. Therefore, we are often called hyperhidrosis of hands and feet in clinic, and also called localized hyperhidrosis in medicine. It usually happens to young people with large emotional fluctuations, and of course there are genetic factors. Some people have sweaty hands and feet since childhood. Western medicine thinks it is caused by excessive tension of sympathetic nerve, while Chinese medicine thinks it is caused by dysfunction of spleen and stomach.
Diet conditioning:
If you have sweaty hands and feet, you should first correct some of your living habits. You must get enough sleep and take part in physical exercise properly, but you should eat some foods that clear away heat and strengthen the spleen, such as water bamboo, cabbage, bitter gourd and wax gourd, and avoid some irritating foods, such as wine, coffee and spicy food.
Drug therapy:
Local hyperhidrosis is usually treated with vitamins and oryzanol. If the amount of sweating is really large, then we can also take anti-acetylcholine drugs such as atropine or propofol. Diazepam and anti-acetylcholine drugs have certain adverse reactions, so people can't take it for a long time. In fact, while taking western medicine, we should also take some Chinese medicine appropriately.
Acupuncture treatment:
Chinese medicine treatment can also be combined with acupuncture treatment, which can make nerves more stable, help people regulate endocrine and achieve the purpose of inhibiting sweat gland secretion.
In fact, there is no specific treatment for hyperhidrosis of hands and feet. Usually, everyone must have enough patience. As long as the treatment continues, the disease will be well relieved. Sweating on hands and feet is mainly caused by excessive tension of sympathetic nerve or dysfunction of spleen and stomach. First of all, we should do a good job in diet conditioning. The effects of drug treatment and acupuncture treatment are actually very significant.
