The first and most common excessive sweating treatment is the use of antiperspirants. Antiperspirants contain aluminium salts that, when applied on the skin, can block the sweat glands from pushing sweat out of the skin surface.

The second treatment method is botulinum toxin injections using a fine needle near the sweat glands. Botox is used to block the nerves that activate the sweat glands. As a result, the sweat glands become unable to produce sweat. This treatment method needs to be regularly repeated, typically every 6 to 8 months depending on the person's condition, and his or her response to the injections.

The third treatment method is Iontophoresis, which is usually used on the feet and palms. Pregnant women should not attempt Iontophoresis. It involves passing a low current through the excessive sweating area. Patients who choose Iontophoresis as an excessive sweating treatment method will need to repeat the process for every alternate day, in the next 5 to 10 days. They will have to sit with either their palms, or feet in water, while an electric current is passed through it for about 20 to 40 minutes. I have personally not tried this method, but I’ve heard people tell me that it can be painful. The electricity that is passed through will swell the skin to block the sweat pores.

The next method is surgery. It can only be conducted on certain parts of the body. There are 2 types of excessive sweating surgery as well. One type involves removing the sweat glands in the affected area. The other type, known as endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy, involves cutting the nerves that are supposed to send signals to the sweat glands. Before deciding whether you want to use surgery as an excessive sweating treatment method, you should always discuss the potential side effects with your surgeon.

The 5th excessive sweating treatment is the use of anticholinergic drugs. Before using these type of drugs, remember that they have their side effects too. They will firstly act by blocking the chemical messengers in your from activating the sweat glands in your body, preventing sweat from being produced. Because of this artificial alteration of the nervous system, the potential side effects include blurred vision, loss of taste and constipation.

The last treatment method is one that I have personally used to great effect. It is the use of natural remedies, that involves using readily available products at home that are applied every morning and night. I also changed my diets to avoid food like alcohol that will worsen my excess perspiration, and instead choose diets that contain food to reduce sweating.
