Sweating Palms and Soles - #7799
For the past few months, I’ve been struggling with excessive sweating on my palms and soles, and I’m looking for Ayurvedic remedies to address this issue. It’s not only uncomfortable but also impacts my daily life, especially during social interactions. I’d like to understand more about how Ayurveda explains and treats sweating palms and soles. From what I’ve read, this condition could be linked to an imbalance in pitta dosha, which governs heat and sweat production in the body. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs or formulations that help reduce excessive sweating? For example, I’ve heard about the use of Shatavari, Ashwagandha, and Chandanasava—how effective are these remedies, and how should they be taken? I’ve also come across mentions of external applications like sandalwood paste, aloe vera gel, or herbal powders to reduce sweat and provide a cooling effect. Are these effective for palms and soles, and how often should they be applied? Another question I have is about dietary and lifestyle adjustments. Does Ayurveda recommend avoiding spicy, oily, or acidic foods to reduce pitta aggravation? Are there cooling foods or drinks that can help balance the dosha and prevent excessive sweating? Lastly, are there specific yoga practices or pranayama techniques that help manage sweating palms and soles by calming the nervous system and balancing internal heat? If anyone has dealt with this condition and used Ayurvedic remedies successfully, I’d love to hear your story. What worked best for you, and how long did it take to notice results?
