The Common Herb That Reduces Excessive Sweat

Could an ordinary common kitchen herb really reduce excessive sweat?
Hyperhidrosis sufferers reading this will certainly hope so.
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating far beyond what the
body needs to do to control body temperature. It results in moisture laying on
the surface of the skin instead of evaporating like it normally would. Some
sufferers have problems with grip because of near-permananet wet hands and
others need to have several changes of clothing each day. It usually affects
the hands and feet but can extend to other parts of the body including the
head, trunk and under arms.
Treatment is limited to Iontophoresis (using electric currents to disrupt
the sweat glands), Botox injections and a surgical procedure called endoscopic
thoracic sympathectomy (ETS)whereby the nerves serving the sweat glands are
blocked or cut. None of these treatments are without risks and all are very
expensive. Their effectiveness also seems to vary from patient to patient and
and horror stories are common - particularly relating to the surgical option
(which requires each lung to be collapsed in turn in order to reach the nerves
in the chest cavity).
Clearly then, the prospect of a totally natural, risk-free treatment
involving an inexpensive kitchen herb will be greated heartily by anyone with
an excessive sweat problem - particularly when the herb in question has
actually been medically proven.
The treatment, tested by a group of researchers at the School
of Medicine, Isfahan University of
Medical Sciences in Iran,
is a simple “tea" solution made from the dried leaves of a common herb, and
water.
In the medical study, thirty-five patients (18 men and 17 women, aged 8-49
years) who had been diagnosed with either palmar or plantar (hand or foot)
hyperhidrosis were given the treatments three times a day for six weeks.
The solution was simply applied to the skin (they didn't drink it) where
excessive sweating was a problem. After six weeks of this treatment the people
in the study who received the tea experienced significantly more relief from
their sweating than the people who were given a placebo.
In fact, the solution was shown to reduce sweating in the hands, feet and
under arms by as much as 37% as a result of the herb's astringent properties.
These are the directions if you want to make the solution at home...
Use three spoonfuls of dried leaves mixed with 250 ml (8.5 ounces) of room
temperature water and leave to steep for 24 to 48 hours.
After straining, the resulting solution can be applied to underarms, hands
or feet. The researchers also suggest a further treatment for plantar
hyperhidrosis which affects the soles of the feet. They recommend a dry powder
of the herb, placed in the shoes. The powder can be made by grinding dried
leaves with an electronic or hand mill.
The solution or powder should be applied to the problem area three times a
day and the area should be completely dried before application.

Helen, I've just received an email from searchwarp to say that someone had entered a response to this article. I'm really sorry you've had this inconvenience. We have had problems with many orders over the last few months due to situations beyond my control but I'm now getting towards the end of a huge back-log of orders. It's possible that yours has got lost along the way because I can't find your name in my Paypal records. I am happy to refund you straight away if you please email me your date of purchase (and preferably Paypal receipt) to the email address on my website. (I'm not allowed to put the email here). Once again, I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience you've been caused.

i do not have any money so i cant buy the tea from you, please can you just put the answer on the article:)
Can I use common tea that is commonly sell on local stores?
I believe the herb he is refering to is sage. I was told about it previously and i have been trying to get my hands on some since.Hope this helps :)p.s i was told it can be drank or eaten or use topically as a solution .
A most interesting article Rob, herbs are the best way to cure most common ailments. Could one put sage in an ordinary teabag or is this herb and mixure that has to be prepared in a pharmacy?Although I am not a sufferer I think anything that helps people is fantastic. Thanks for your advice, I will endeavor to pass it on to those that would be interested in the product.Elfreda
