Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond physiological needs, resulting from overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system, particularly the sudomotor fibers. It may be primary (idiopathic), often affecting the palms, soles, axillae, or face, or secondary, due to underlying causes such as endocrine disorders (hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus), infections, menopause, anxiety, or obesity. The excessive perspiration may be localized or generalized, leading to social embarrassment, emotional distress, and skin complications like maceration and fungal infections. Conventional management includes antiperspirants, iontophoresis, botulinum toxin injections, or sympathectomy, while homoeopathy offers a gentle, systemic approach targeting the underlying constitutional imbalance responsible for abnormal sweating.

Homoeopathy treats hyperhidrosis by addressing the constitutional tendency and systemic imbalance rather than just suppressing sweat. The remedies aim to normalize the function of sweat glands, regulate autonomic activity, and manage associated symptoms like anxiety, weakness, or hormonal disturbance. Each case is individualized according to location, modality, odor, and associated conditions. Homoeopathy thus offers safe, long-term relief and helps restore confidence and comfort in patients suffering from this distressing condition.

Homoeopathy provides an individualized, curative approach, addressing the nervous, emotional, and metabolic causes of the condition. Remedies such as Calcarea Carbonica, Silicea, Arsenicum Album, Kali Phosphoricum, and Sepia are highly effective in normalizing sweat regulation and reducing odor. Through consistent constitutional treatment, homoeopathy offers long-lasting relief, improved confidence, and restored equilibrium of the body’s natural functions.
