Excessive sweating during normal activities like walking or even sitting when it’s not hot or physically demanding—is known in Ayurveda as “Atisweda”, a type of Pitta-Vata imbalance.

Internal Medications (Take under supervision)

1. Shatavari churna – 1 tsp with milk daily (Pitta shamak) 2. Sutshekhar Ras - 2-0-2 3. Kamdudha Ras - 2-0-2 4. Usheerasava - 10ml- 0- 10ml

External Remedies:- 1. Sandalwood powder paste (Chandan lepa) – Apply on underarms, chest or neck; controls body heat and smell.

2. Rose water spray – Natural coolant for the body and mind.

Panchakarma (If symptoms are severe or chronic):-

1. Virechana (Purgation) – Best for Pitta imbalance; helps flush excess heat. 2. Takradhara (Medicated buttermilk pouring on forehead) – Balances Pitta and calms nerves.

✅ Do: • Eat cooling foods: moong dal, cucumber, watermelon, coconut water. • Use ghee and buttermilk. • Bathe with water boiled with neem, sandalwood, or vetiver. • Practice Sheetali Pranayama (cooling breath)

Please suggest me any one that is lots of thing are there?

Avoid food items with hot potency like non veg , eggs , dry fruits , dahi , too spicy or too salty food items . Along with that see if your sweating worsens post meal or not . If yes , check your blood sugar level . I don’t think you need any medicine for sweating unless it’s too much

HELLO MOHAMMED IIYAS,

Excessive sweating- especially if it happens even when you’re not hot or doing physical activity- is called primary hyperhidrosis. This condition can affect the face, forehead, underarms, upper body, and it often causes embarrassment, anxiety, and nervousness just as you mentioned

In Ayurveda excessive sweating is known as Swedadhikya, and is related to Pitta dosha aggravation and medo dhatu imbalance(fat metabolism). Here’s how to manage it naturally:

1) KAMDUDHA RAS(with mukta)- 1 tab twice daily on en empty stomach with coconut water for 30 days (Badiyanath brand) =cools the body, balances pitta , reduces facial, forehead, and upper body sweating, and calm nervousness

2) ORGANIC INDIAN AMLA CAPSULES= 1 cap in morning =anti oxidant and cooling

3) SANDALWOOD + ROSE WATER PASTE(TOPICAL FOR FACE AND FOREHEAD) -mix 1 tsp sandalwood powder with rose water , apply to forehead and face for 15-20 minutes daily , wash off with cool water =cooling, stops facial sweat, also gives a clean look

VISIBLE RELIEF WITHIN A WEEK. KEEP IT IN FRIDGE FOR EXTRA COOLING

AYURVEDIC DAILY PRACTICES -Abhyanga (oil massage) with coconut oil or sandalwood oil -Takradhara(buttermilk pored on forehead)- helps for forehead sweating and mental calmness -Udwartana- dry powder massage with cooling herbs like sandalwood , lodhra and amalaki

DIET AND LIFESTYLE -Cool foods= cucumber, coconut water, melons, bitter gourd -cow’s milk, ghee, jaggery in moderation -cooling spices= fennel, coriander, mint

AVOID -spicy, fried, sour, salty, and oily food -coffee, tea, alcohol -excess screen time, heat, emotional stress

EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL CALMNESS Since you’re feeling nervous about your sweating, it’s important to manage your mind too -PRANAYAM= cooling breath work like sheetali, Chandra bhedana -MEDITATION= just 10 minutes daily helps balance stress hormones

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Excessive sweating, known in Ayurveda as ‘Atisveda’, can result from an imbalance in the body’s doshas, often Pitta, which governs heat and metabolism. To address this condition, we should focus on calming the Pitta dosha. Begin with dietary changes to counterbalance the heat. Incorporate cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, coconut water, and green leafy vegetables into meals. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods as well as caffeinated beverages which can increase internal heat.

Hydration plays essential role. Drink cool, not cold, water throughout the day, helping maintain body temperature without shocking the system. A sprinkle of cumin or coriander seeds in your water can further soothing Pitta. About 2-3 liters daily works well for most people, adjust slightly upwards in hotter environments.

For herbal aids, consider Amla (Indian Gooseberry), known for its cooling properties. You can find Amla in powdered form, and taking one teaspoon with warm water daily may help. Another supportive herb is Ashwagandha – a teaspoon of its powder with milk or warm water can regulate stress and reduce excessive sweating caused by anxiety.

Lifestyle modifications are also critical, prioritize a Pitta-pacifying routine. Engage in calming activities like yoga, pranayama, or meditation to manage stress. Wear loose, breathable cotton clothes to allow air circulation and reduce sweating discomfort.

Maintaining a regular sleep pattern supports overall balance. Go for a consistent bedtime and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Avoid rigorous exercise during the peak heat hours; mornings or early evenings are preferable to avoid heat buildup.

If your sweating persists or is accompanied by other symptoms like palpitations, it’s wise to consult with healthcare professional to rule out underlying conditions. Seek immediate medical advice if you experience sudden and unexplained sweating along with chest pain or dizziness.

To address excessive sweating, understanding the role of your doshas, specifically pitta dosha, is important. An imbalance in pitta can often lead to increased body heat, thus causing more sweating. Here are some practical steps you can consider, grounded in Siddha-Ayurvedic principles.

First, focus on a pitta-pacifying diet. Incorporate more cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens into your meals. Avoid spicy, oily, and overly salty foods that can aggravate pitta. Coconut water can also be a good option to help cool down your system and reduce sweating.

Additionally, herbal remedies like Amla (Indian gooseberry) and Neem can assist in cooling the body. You can try taking Amla in powder form twice daily with water. Neem juice, taken in moderate amounts, can help purify the blood and balance pitta.

Besides dietary adjustments, maintaining a regular routine of yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) can be beneficial. Start with cooling practices like Sheetali or Sheetkari pranayama. They help regulate body temperature and reduce stress, which can further control sweating.

Apply a paste of sandalwood powder mixed with rose water on your face and areas prone to sweating. It has cooling properties and can offer temporary relief from sweating.

It’s crucial not to completely stop sweating, as it is a natural way for the body to regulate temperature and detoxify. However, if these measures do not help and the sweating remains severe, it might be necessary to consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying condition.

Finally, ensure you’re wearing lightweight, breathable fabrics, preferably made of cotton, which help in allowing your skin to breathe and minimize sweating. These steps will collectively help to manage your condition more effectively.

Hi Mohammed Ilyas,

Excessive sweating—especially from the face, forehead, underarms, and upper body—without much exertion is known in Ayurveda as Atisveda. This is often linked to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, and sometimes Vata when there is also anxiety or nervousness involved.

Let’s address it naturally and safely using Ayurvedic medicines, lifestyle, and some daily habits.

Medication:

1.Mukta Shukti Bhasma Calms excessive Pitta, reduces internal heat. Dose: 125 mg (approx. 1 pinch) with honey or cold milk once a day.

2.Kamdudha Ras (with Mukta) Classical remedy for Pitta, acidity, and nervous sweating. Dose: 1 tablet twice daily after meals with water or cold milk.

3.Ashwagandha Tablet or Churna Reduces anxiety, nervousness, and stress-related sweating. Dose: 1 tablet or ½ tsp powder with warm milk at bedtime.

4.Sutshekhar Ras (optional) If there’s also indigestion, acidity, or burning sensations. Dose: 1 tablet once a day after lunch.

Diet Tips to Reduce Sweating:

Avoid: Spicy, oily, salty, fried food, onion, garlic, caffeine. Eat: Cooling foods – cucumber, coconut water, pomegranate, buttermilk, and rice. Drink coriander seed water: Soak 1 tsp overnight, boil in morning, drink daily.

Thank You!

​Excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, is considered in Ayurveda to be a condition often linked to an imbalance of the Pitta dosha. Pitta is associated with fire and heat, and when it is aggravated, it can lead to increased body heat and, consequently, excessive sweating.

​Ayurvedic solutions focus on cooling the body, pacifying the Pitta dosha, and addressing the root cause through diet, lifestyle changes, and herbal remedies.
​Immediate and External Solutions ​While Ayurveda emphasizes a holistic approach, some remedies can provide quick relief for the areas you mentioned (face, forehead, underarms, and upper body).

​Sandalwood Paste: This is one of the most popular and effective Ayurvedic remedies for cooling the skin. Sandalwood (Chandana) has a cooling property that can help control sweating and has a natural fragrance. Mix sandalwood powder with a little rose water to make a paste and apply it to your forehead, face, and underarms.

​Rose Water: Rose water is a natural astringent and coolant. You can apply it directly to your face and upper body with a cotton ball or spritz it on throughout the day to feel refreshed.

​Herbal Bath: Adding certain herbs to your bathwater can help. Try adding a few drops of vetiver oil or rose water, or even a paste of sandalwood or neem powder to your bath to get a cooling and cleansing effect.

​Ushira (Vetiver): This herb is a well-known antiperspirant and coolant in Ayurveda. You can find it in oil form to apply to your skin, or a powder that can be made into a paste.

​Dietary and Lifestyle Solutions ​To address the underlying cause according to Ayurveda, you need to focus on pacifying Pitta.

​Cooling Foods: Incorporate more cooling foods into your diet. This includes fruits like watermelon, cucumber, and grapes; vegetables like leafy greens and gourds; and cooling spices like fennel and coriander.

​Avoid Pitta-Aggravating Foods: Reduce or avoid foods that increase heat in the body. This includes spicy, sour, and fermented foods, as well as caffeine and alcohol.

​Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. You can also infuse your water with cooling herbs like mint, fennel, or coriander. Coconut water and buttermilk are also excellent for balancing Pitta.

​Stress Management: Since stress and anxiety can aggravate Pitta and trigger sweating, practicing relaxation techniques is crucial. Incorporate daily meditation, deep breathing exercises (pranayama), or gentle yoga to calm your nervous system. ​Clothing: As with any form of treatment, wearing loose-fitting, breathable clothes made from natural fibers like cotton is recommended.

​Internal Herbal Remedies ​For a more lasting solution, an Ayurvedic practitioner might recommend internal herbal remedies. These should be taken under the guidance of a qualified expert.
​Herbal Supplements: Herbs like Shatavari, Amla (Indian gooseberry), and Sariva are often used to balance Pitta and reduce excessive sweating. Ushira and Mustaka are also commonly recommended
