SWEATING

INTRODUCTION:

Sitting in the heat of the sun, working out at the gym, giving a presentation at work — all of these activities can make you sweat. It's both natural and healthy to sweat under these conditions. In fact, when you're exposed to heat, strenuous exercise or extreme emotional stress, you may lose several quarts of fluid in perspiration. A pea-sized bead of sweat can cool nearly 1 liter (about 1 quart) of blood 1 degree Fahrenheit.

 

DEFINITION OF SWEATING:

Sweating:

The act of secreting fluid from the skin by the sweat (sudoriferous) glands. These are small tubular glands situated within and under the skin (in the subcutaneous tissue). They discharge by tiny openings in the surface of the skin.

 

The sweat is a transparent colorless acidic fluid with a peculiar odor. It contains some fatty acids and mineral matter. It is also called perspiration.

 

TYPES OF SWEAT GLANDS:

There are two types of sweat glands:

* Eccrine - the most numerous type that are found all over the body, particularly on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet and forehead

* Apocrine - mostly confined to the armpits (axilla) and the anal-genital area. They typically end in hair follicles rather than pores.

COMMON CAUSES FOR SWEATING:

* Warm temperatures

* Fever

* Menopause

* Overactive thyroid gland

* Low blood sugar

* Infection

* Cancer

* Emotional or stressful situations (anxiety)

* Exercise

* Spicy foods (known as " gustatory sweating " )

* Drugs, including thyroid hormone, morphine, antipyretics (drugs to reduce fevers), and medicines to treat mental disorders

* Caffeine

* Alcohol

* Withdrawal from alcohol or narcotic pain killers

HOME CARE REMEDIES FOR SWEATING:

After sweating, you should:

* Wash the face and body

REMEDIES FOR OVER SWEATING:

Use antibacterial soap or deodorant soap to combat body odor due to sweating. Wear cotton clothes during summer so that the sweat is soaked up. Instead of using deodorant, wipe your sweat producing areas like armpit using white vinegar or alcohol. Avoid using antiperspirant because they clog sweat glands, use alum instead. Apply some baking soda on arm pit, it will absorb sweat and kill bacteria.
