Hi Dr.
I am dealing with a condition of excessive sweating on my scalp while eating any type of salty/hot/spicy food. Even when it’s not so hot or spicy then also I face extreme sweating on my entire head. It’s so much in excess that I have to use a hand towel to clean the sweat several times while eating. This is so irritating and embarassing, specially when I am outside from home.
Earlier couple of year backs I tried some homeopathy medicines and got some relief but again it seems to be increased over the time. Is there a solution of treatment for this issue?
Thanks,
Nitin Jain

Thank.
नमस्कार डॉक्टर साहब।
मुझे खाना खाते समय पसीना आता है, जो कि सिर पर अधिक आता है, फिर चेहरे पर आता है, भयंकर सर्दी में भी आता है, सामान्य खाने से भी आता है। दूध या चाय के साथ खाने पर नहीं आता है। कृपया उपचार बताए। यह कही रक्तचाप बढ़े होने का अनुमान तो नहीं है क्या। मेरी उम्र 64 वर्ष है। 2003 में बायपास सर्जरी हो चुकी है।
Hi Dr. Sharma,
Hope things are good at your end.
I would like to know if homeopathy can treat my condition of extreme sweating.
I do not sweat much on my hands or my feet. However, I do sweat a lot on my face , neck, chest and back, armpits and genital area for any kind of short duration physical activity like dancing, within minutes. During dance practices for any program, I will be the only one drenched. During hot weather, I sweat easily in the above areas. When I get excited , you can see me perspiring very quickly. Most of the time, I’m embarrassed but try not to show it or limit myself. During any physical activity, sweating starts within a few seconds whether it is the scalp or face or the rest of the body, not much sweat on hands or feet though.
Is there anything in homeopathy that can help me, please advise.
Thanks,
Asha
