Sweating is a natural process resulting from our physiology. In some cases, however, it may be excessive, becoming a nuisance and a source of embarrassment. Such situations are generally caused by the person’s emotional state and usually affect the armpits, hands and feet.

The problem may also reach deeper, and be caused by a systemic disease e.g. diabetes, hyperthyroidism, tuberculosis or kidney diseases. In such cases the main cause (the disease) needs to be dealt with first.
