Vinegar & Honey Treatment for Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes a person to excessively sweat. Several treatments are available to people suffering from hyperhidrosis. One treatment option is an all-natural mixture of vinegar and honey.

  1. About Hyperhidrosis

    • Most people sweat because the body is trying to cool itself off, but those with hyperhidrosis sweat uncontrollably even when their body temperature does not need stabilizing. An overactive sympathetic nervous system is responsible for hyperhidrosis. The most common form of this condition is palmar hyperhidrosis, which causes sweaty palms.

    Vinegar and Honey Treatment

    • A natural treatment for hyperhidrosis requires a person to consume 2 tsp. honey and 2 tsp. vinegar three times a day. It is believed by some that these two ingredients can keep sweat from excreting from the sweat glands.

    Other Recommendations

    • Taking a bath each day helps to regulate the body's temperature so it doesn't feel the need to cool itself off throughout the day. Drinking more than eight glasses of water a day can also help lower the body's temperature. Because excessive sweat can lead to skin problems, it is suggested that those with hyperhidrosis wear loose clothing and change their socks and shirts a couple of times a day.
