Hello Prajwal, could you provide more information about your overall health, lifestyle, and diet? Do you experience excessive sweating in specific areas, like underarms, palms, or feet, or is it all over your body? Have you noticed any other symptoms such as fatigue, changes in appetite, or digestive issues, which could be related to your sweating? It would also be helpful to know if you’ve had any tests for hormonal imbalances, thyroid function, or metabolic conditions. Stress and emotional factors can also contribute to sweating, so knowing about your stress levels and daily routine could provide further insights into the cause.

Hey Prajjwal, it sounds like you're dealing with a classic case of excessive sweating, known in Ayurveda as Swedadhikya. In Ayurveda, sweat regulation is primarily influenced by the Pitta dosha, so an imbalance here can lead to excessive perspiration. Here are some practical insights and recommendations to help manage this condition. First, look at your diet, since diet significant impact Pitta. Cooling, hydrating foods can help balance excess heat in the body. Consider incorporating more fruits like watermelon, pears, or coconut water into your daily routine. Avoiding spicy and oily foods can make a difference—these tend to aggravate Pitta. Also, keep yourself well-hydrated; just pure water, herbal teas like mint or coriander are excellent choices. Next, lifestyle adjustments are important too. Regular exercise is great, but do try to do it during the cooler parts of the day, early morning or late evening to prevent overheating. Practicing Pranayama and meditation can also assist in reducing stress, another trigger for sweating. Activities like moon salutation (Chandranamaskar) are particularly cooling for your body and mind. Herbs can offer some support as well. Neem, amla, and sandalwood are a few excellent for cooling the body and maintaining skin health. Try applying a sandalwood paste on the body it can reduce odour and cool things down. Neem leaf powder can also be added to your baths to naturally combat unpleasant smells and help reduce sweating. Wear loose, cotton clothing because it allows your skin to breathe and reduces sweat accumulation. Furthermore, do check in with a healthcare professional if the condition persists or worsens. Excessive sweating at times could be a sign of underlying medical conditions that need attention. So if things don’t improve with these adjustments, definitely seek out medical advice promptly. Hope these approaches bring you some relief, Remember, consistency is key.
