Excessive sweating
The human body produces an average of 700900 ml of sweat per day. Sweat is a secretion of the sweat glands, which is about 99% water. The rest is sodium chloride, uric acid, ammonia and other substances. We consume constantly, but the amount of sweating is dependent on the heat and increases when we are in an environment with high temperature, during illness (fever), during times of increased physical activity. Excessive sweat is caused by a state of over-activity of the body's sweat tissues and can be divided into 3 main types: generalized sweat covering the skin of the whole body.
Excessive sweating of the legs, hands, face
Sweating can be caused by a number of things. It is a psychological condition that involves swelling of the hands, feet and face, but sometimes it can also be generalized. It occurs suddenly, aggressively, under the influence of emotional stimuli. It mainly affects young people, during puberty, who experience major hormonal changes. It persists until about 25 years of age.
Night sweats
Night sweats are one of many health problems in menopausal women. They occur very often after hot flashes with which they are correlated. They are caused by sudden decreases in estrogen levels, the production of which can decrease by up to 90% within a few years of menopause. It is estimated that about 75% of women struggle with a number of troublesome conditions, the most common of which are heat strokes and night sweats.
Is excessive sweating a disease?
Excessive sweating is usually not a disease, but an alarm signal and a symptom of other diseases, the most serious of which is an advanced form of cancer. Paranoid sweating often occurs without an accompanying fever and is the result of the production by the skin's tumors of pyrogens substances that cause sweating in order to restore body temperature.
Excessive sweating in the home
One of the first products we reach for in situations of excessive sweat production is the so-called antiperspirants. It is a product containing clay chloride which, by forming a gel coating on the skin, sticks to the glands of the skin and thereby restricts the excretion of sweat. Antiperspirant is much more effective than deodorants, but it can irritate the skin. An alternative is home remedies based on herbal remedies that you can drink or go to the bathroom.
It's herbal for sweating
Herbs have been known to humankind for centuries. Their use is very widespread, and herbalists claim that nature has given us a cure in the form of herbs for almost every ailment. It's no different with extreme dizziness. During menopause, to reduce the symptoms of night sweats, herbs such as: two-year-old cloves, charcoal, garnish plums, gallbladder, herbal replacement. Plus, garneish plum is also recommended as an alternative to hormone therapy.
