Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I am an acupuncturists and have the same problem. I've tried everything and all herbs. I used to sweat through my socks, and my MD accused me of walking in puddles before coming into see him, but my shoes were still dry. The smell was awful too. I went to a podiatrist who prescribed aluminum choride. It worked excellent and instantly. I used it on my feet twice and I don't sweat no more. Try it.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Dear khriperz, I saw a similar e-mail from you on the Chinese Healing e-group. For the benefit of those in the Acupuncure group who are not on the Chinese Healing group, I will summarize the advice already given. 1) TCM theory related to sweating 2) Try " Astralagus " 3) Visit a qualified practitioner of 4) If cost is an issue, visit clinics at universities with a TCM program, which often offer free or very cheap consultation Caroline acupuncture , " khriperz " <pretee@t...> wrote: > My hands and feet sweat severely and I would like to know what herbs > would work to make them stop.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I believe there is a miracle point on the hand (thenar pad) for polyhydrosis I will need to do some research to find it in my notes Doug - Pawel Polak acupuncture Thursday, July 29, 2004 12:24 PM Re: acupuncture Hyperhidrosis? khriperz <pretee wrote: My hands and feet sweat severely and I would like to know what herbs would work to make them stop.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hi I am a TCM (Traditional ) student. I am doing my final major paper on dermatology. I came across some treatment for Hyperhidrosis. There are many different patterns that can lead to hyperhidrosis. A couple that specifically refer to hands and feet are, Dampness flowing to the extremities and Damp-heat flowing to the extremities. So there are definitely TCM treatments for your condition. You should go and see a TCM practitioner. There were herbal formulas also. I think the combo of acupuncture and herbs is very good. But to get an herbal formula like ie. (Qing Pi Yin Jia Jian) you need to be diagnosed with damp heat. It can't be done online effectively. Some points to try are LI4, SI3, KI7 (for generalized profuse sweating) LI4, KI7 and HT6 (are specifically for profuse sweating of the hands and feet). You can try massaging these points yourself. Get a book on acupoints. But the most effective thing is to go to a TCM practitioner. Take care, hope this helps, Heather Vandeburg Midwest College of Oriental Medicine Students Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Thanks, I have the feeling that that's my only hope, but I will try massaging those letter/number points mentioned below until then. How much do you think it will cost for me to see an acupunture specialist? Should I go to a tcm school, will that be as effective?

Check out the acupressure.com website and the articles section for sample chapters of Michael Reed Gach's book Acupressure's Potent Points. Some of these points - like Large Intestine (LI) 4 may be in those sample online chapters. I know they are in the book. Many libraries have a copy of this book or can get it for you on interlibrary loan. In some areas of the country this is a free service, in others you pay book postage. SI-3 (Small Intestine 3)is on the top outer edge of the hand toward the part of the knuckle under the small finger that is closest to the wrist. (Not the side of the knuckle nearest to the small finger. Don't worry about pinpointing it exactly because you'll be using the tip of your finger to massage or hold the point instead of a needle as in acupuncture. SI3 also helps in cases of headaches due to Wind Cold Invasion or Wind Heat Invasion. LI4 also helps the bowels to move as well as being an antihistamine point.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I think if your on a budget that school clinics are a great way to go. All students are supervised by lisc professionals. My clinic At Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in Chicago is free. The only thing that you pay for is your herbs and the are 10 cents a gram. One suggestion is to have students that are a little further along in the clinical experience work on you because their needle technique can be better. Just make sure if its a free clinic that you alot enough time. Sometimes the wait can be pretty long. good luck Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost for treatment will vary depending on where you are; usually the first visit costs more, but the practioner spends more time with you in order to carefully diagnose your imbalance. A TCM school's clinic is an excellent low cost alternative. They will be just as effective as a graduate - these are near graduates under the supervision of their teachers, many of whom are practioners. sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
