Hello, In Ayurveda, generalized hyperhidrosis is often categorized as Atisveda, primarily attributed to an imbalance of Pitta Dosha and Meda Dhatu (fat tissue). The focus is on cooling the body, purifying the blood, and balancing the sweat-regulating channels (Svedavaha Srotas). Cause: Excess internal heat (Ushna) and vitiated Pitta. Management: Stambhana (blocking excess flow) and Pitta-shamaka (heat-reducing) therapies. Lifestyle: Avoid spicy, sour, and fermented foods. Prioritize hydration with Vetiver (Khus) infused water. 1. Chandanasava A classical fermented preparation with Sandalwood as the primary ingredient. It acts as a potent coolant to reduce internal body temperature and excessive perspiration. Dose: 20 ml mixed with an equal amount of lukewarm water, twice daily after food. 2. Pravala Bhasma (Capsule/Tablet form) Prepared from Coral, this is a natural source of calcium that pacifies Pitta and regulates the sweat glands. Dose: 250 mg (usually 1 tablet/capsule) twice daily with water or honey. 3. Usheerasava Contains Usheera (Vetiver), which is renowned for its deodorant and cooling properties. It specifically targets the Meda Dhatu to control generalized sweating. Dose: 15 ml to 20 ml with equal water, twice daily after meals. 4. Eladi Choornam (External Application) A fragrant herbal powder used for Udvartana (dry powder massage). It helps cleanse the pores and reduce body odor associated with hyperhidrosis. Dose: Mix with water or buttermilk to form a paste; apply over the body 20 minutes before bathing.
