Excessive sweating can not only be an embarrassment, but it also leads to having a very uncomfortable feeling. Excessive sweating, in fact, is a medical condition and is termed hyperhidrosis. When there is excessive sweating over the entire body and not just the chest, upper torso and back, it is called generalized hyperhidrosis. Excessive sweating on specific parts is called focal hyperhidrosis. The normal events that leave a person perspiring are physical exertion and exposure to heat. The medical conditions associated with high perspiration include fever, thyroid gland dysfunction, tuberculosis, and menopause. In some persons, emotional factors like anxiety and fear play a leading role. When excessive sweating is associated with bad odor, it is referred to as bromhidrosis. Homeopathic medicines for excessive sweating are completely safe and treat the problem for good.
Homeopathic Medicines for Excessive Sweating
Persons suffering from increased or excessive sweating can hugely benefit from the use of natural Homeopathic medicines. Those suffering from excessive sweating are in the habit of using antiperspirants to tackle the problem. But this is just a temporary, short-term measure and is not a treatment at all. It just suppresses the problem. Natural remedies for excessive sweating, on the other hand, ensure that the problem is eradicated from its root. With the use of the most suitable medicines, excessive sweating can be properly treated. While selecting the medicine which works best for each individual, the site of increased sweat, its association with bad smell and the causative factor are given high importance. Along with these symptoms, the constitutional features — both physical and mental symptoms — are also given equal importance to prescribe the most efficient remedy for each individual.
1. Calcarea Carb: For Excessive Sweating on Scalp
Calcarea Carb is the top natural remedy for profuse sweating on the scalp. The persons who can greatly benefit from the use of Calcarea Carb have high perspiration on the scalp. Even while sleeping, there is profuse sweating on the scalp, leaving the pillow extremely wet. Calcarea Carb helps in controlling the sweat of scalp. Apart from excessive sweat on the scalp, a few constitutional symptoms for selecting Calcarea Carb are sensitivity to cold air and the extreme desire for boiled eggs. A few persons needing Calcarea Carb may have a craving for strange things like chalk, lime, and pencils. Calcarea Carb is also the ideal medicine when excessive sweating has an accompanying symptom: chronic constipation.
2. Silicea: For Excessive Sweating on Feet, Hands and Armpits
Various natural medicines are effective in controlling excessive sweating on hands, feet, and armpits, but Silicea tops the list. Silicea is a very beneficial remedy for controlling sweat of feet, hands and armpits. The sweat is extremely offensive in character. In a few persons, the sweat on the feet has a sour or putrid odour. Silicea is also of great help for persons who have excessive sweating on hands, posing a difficulty in writing and grasping objects. It is also the most appropriate remedy for foul smelling sweat in armpits.
3. Psorinum and Sulphur: For Excessive Sweating on Entire Body
Both Psorinum and Sulphur are the ideal natural remedies for hyperhidrosis with highly offensive odour. Psorinum is very beneficial for persons who cannot tolerate cold air even in hot weather. Sulphur, on the other hand, is best suited for persons who have excessive sweating and are sensitive to heat. Such a person cannot tolerate a hot environment. They also have excessive heat in palms, soles and head with increased sweating. Hot and cold sensitivity remains the basic feature for selecting one out of these two remedies for excessive sweating over the whole body. After selecting the ideal remedy, the worst cases of offensive sweating can be treated.

Hi Dr.
I am dealing with a condition of excessive sweating on my scalp while eating any type of salty/hot/spicy food. Even when it’s not so hot or spicy then also I face extreme sweating on my entire head. It’s so much in excess that I have to use a hand towel to clean the sweat several times while eating. This is so irritating and embarassing, specially when I am outside from home.
Earlier couple of year backs I tried some homeopathy medicines and got some relief but again it seems to be increased over the time. Is there a solution of treatment for this issue?
Thanks,
Nitin Jain

नमस्कार डॉक्टर साहब।
मुझे खाना खाते समय पसीना आता है, जो कि सिर पर अधिक आता है, फिर चेहरे पर आता है, भयंकर सर्दी में भी आता है, सामान्य खाने से भी आता है। दूध या चाय के साथ खाने पर नहीं आता है। कृपया उपचार बताए। यह कही रक्तचाप बढ़े होने का अनुमान तो नहीं है क्या। मेरी उम्र 64 वर्ष है। 2003 में बायपास सर्जरी हो चुकी है।
Hi Dr. Sharma,
Hope things are good at your end.
I would like to know if homeopathy can treat my condition of extreme sweating.
I do not sweat much on my hands or my feet. However, I do sweat a lot on my face , neck, chest and back, armpits and genital area for any kind of short duration physical activity like dancing, within minutes. During dance practices for any program, I will be the only one drenched. During hot weather, I sweat easily in the above areas. When I get excited , you can see me perspiring very quickly. Most of the time, I’m embarrassed but try not to show it or limit myself. During any physical activity, sweating starts within a few seconds whether it is the scalp or face or the rest of the body, not much sweat on hands or feet though.
Is there anything in homeopathy that can help me, please advise.
Thanks,
Asha
