Could Pins & Needles Be The Answer To Excessive Sweating?

By:


Given social attitudes towards sweating, the condition of excessive sweating can wreak havoc with your public life, which affects your self-esteem and performance. So it's little wonder that sufferers of excessive sweating claim they would try anything to reduce their distressing symptoms and the misery they cause.

Most might not be too keen on the idea of acupuncture though. In our Western culture, many of us steer well clear of anything that involves needles. So as a potential cure, acupuncture may have limited appeal. Though it is far less invasive than surgery and has fewer potential side-effects than aluminium-based anti-perspirants or Botox injections, acupuncture still has a bad press. Images of prone figures covered in needles tend to induce fear and distrust rather than hope.

The improvement acupuncture has been shown to have on excessive sweating is quite impressive. Many cases report that acupuncture has radically alleviated their symptoms and some claim to be completely cured. Regular users don't seem to regard the process as painful, even though we are talking about applying needles to the skin.

So, how does it work? Acupuncture is an ancient Oriental medicine that uses fine needles to stimulate 'acu-points', special places along your meridians (your body's energy channels). In the sophisticated manipulation of these points, the treatment aims to correct any mis-aligned energy channels that are causing illness, pain or suffering.

For people who suffer from excessive sweating acupuncture can focus on the sympathetic nervous system which controls your body's sweat functions. Also, they can focus on the points that will help enhance relaxation and reduce stress. In this way the treatment can reduce anxiety and promote confidence and emotional balance - influencing factors of the occurence of excessive sweating.

An acupuncture treatment will be preceded by an in-depth series of questions. In Chinese medicine, sweat is a useful barometer of disharmony in the body. So, by interviewing the patient, the practitioner can obtain clues as to why and how the excessive sweating occurs and address the treatment accordingly. The following acupuncture treatments will then be tailor-made to address the individual's patterns and symptoms.

However, since acupuncture is a holistic treatment, it can also be helpful in cases of excessive sweating when the cause is unidentified. Rather than just targeting a specific area which may or may not be the root cause of the problem, acupuncture treats the body as a whole. During the overall treatment it is possible then, that the root cause can be rebalanced. The malfunction (which causes the sweating) can be diffused, even if it was never identified.

Acupuncture is a time-tested, natural and non-invasive remedy which requires no recovery time. Moreover, in the solving of the problem of excessive sweating - it works! So, even though your natural reaction may be to recoil form the idea - as a painless, harmless and effective treatment for excessive sweating, it may just be worth considering. If you can get past any initial reluctance, acupuncture could well be the cure you've been so desperately looking for.
