Sweaty palms and feet - #2622

Allison

I’ve been dealing with excessive sweating on my palms and feet for years now. It’s embarrassing and makes daily tasks difficult. I’m looking for Ayurvedic treatments for sweaty palms and feet that address the root cause. Are there specific herbs, oils, or therapies that help reduce this problem? I’ve tried talcum powders and antiperspirants, but they only offer temporary relief. Does Ayurveda attribute sweaty palms and feet to a specific dosha imbalance, like Pitta? Would detox treatments or dietary changes help? If anyone has used Ayurvedic remedies for this, please share what worked and how long it took to see results.

Excessive sweating on the palms and feet is often linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha in Ayurveda, which is associated with heat and metabolism. To address this, Ayurvedic remedies focus on cooling the body and calming Pitta. Herbs like Guduchi, Amla, Neem, and Shatavari are known to help balance Pitta, while oils such as coconut or sandalwood oil can soothe the skin. Detox therapies like Abhyanga (oil massage) and Shirodhara (oil stream on the forehead) can also aid in reducing sweating. Dietary changes, including avoiding spicy or oily foods and incorporating cooling foods like cucumbers and coconut water, can further help balance internal heat. Stress management techniques like meditation are also beneficial. While results may take time, consistent Ayurvedic treatments can lead to a gradual reduction in sweating over time

Sweaty palms and feet, there's a discomforting issue you've been facing, right? Hmm, Ayurveda does indeed see this condition often related to an imbalance in Pitta dosha. Pitta governs heat, metabolism, and transformations in the body, so when it's aggravated, well, excessive sweating can sometimes be a sign. First, let's tackle this with a detox, which is called panchakarma in Ayurveda. You might benefit from virechana, a purgation therapy that helps to remove excess Pitta from the digestive tract. But hey, don't try this at home, okay? Seriously, it's best done under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner. Diet, yes, this is important too. Try cooling foods and avoid spicy, oily, or fried items. Incorporate more cucumber, cilantro, and mint in your meals. Drink coconut water regularly – it's not only refreshing but also cools the body down. Also, watch your caffeine intake, since it tends to heat things up, you know what I mean? 😊 As for herbs, Amla (Indian gooseberry) works wonders due to its cooling properties. Make a juice with it or just take it in powdered form. If you're open to oils, try using sandalwood oil. Applying it to palms and feet can have a calming and cooling effect – remember to do it gently. Now, Ashwagandha might surprise you. Though it’s generally known for reducing stress, it helps balance the nervous system too. When stress is in check, sweat is less of a foe. Results? They won't be overnight, let me be upfront about that. You might start feeling differences within a few weeks, or maybe a couple of months. Patience and consistency are your best allies. Hey, try pranayama or yoga practices geared toward cooling the body, like Chandra Bhedana and Sheetali breathing – they can help in managing sweating too, over time. Stay mindful of stress levels because, often, that's trickier than anything else! 😊 If things don't improve, pls consult an Ayurvedic physician or even your regular doctor.
