If your palms are sweating up regardless of the temperature in the room, weather for the day or season of the years, and you seem to have lost control over the sweating, you have the condition termed as palmar hyperhidrosis, or excessive hand sweating. And you are not alone as there are more than 6 million Americans who sought treatment for this condition, with many more suffering away quietly like you and me. I was luckier as I have found a treatment which helped me eventually to stop sweaty palms after thirty years of sheer torture from embarrassment.

I almost nearly tried every sweaty hands remedy I could find for treating my palmar hyperhidrosis condition. Antiperspirants, meditation, biofeedback, acupuncture, medicated powders, and even ETS surgery, you name it, and I probably have tried it. ETS surgery to treat my excessive hand sweating was also a failure as the surgeon did not do a complete job burning all my sweat glands, yet the sad part of the surgery is that like the 90 percent of patients who underwent ETS surgery, I too have developed compensatory sweating, on my torso, face and feet.

It took me about five years to get used to this nightmare, on how best to deal with so much sweat everyday. I almost believed that I am destined as such, until I chanced upon Iontophoresis. This is a non surgical non invasive procedure, tested and proven to have no side effects since its debut more than 50 years ago. Simply soak your hands in separate trays of water and connect up the device. Each session lasts for 20 minutes and it is virtually painless. Repeat the sessions daily for one week and you will get dry palms. To maintain the desired level of dryness, repeat one session every three weeks. And that is all to it. Iontophoresis is the treatment which helped me to stop sweaty palms for good.

And if you feel that the cost is in the way of you undergoing the treatment, you could always make your own device at a fraction of the cost. I built mine at about twenty dollars with materials easily available from the local hardware store. The beauty of it is that the functionality was not at all compromised compared to the commercial devices.

Now that I have shared my life story with you, if you are indeed a fellow sweaty hands sufferer, it is time for you to take action. Check out which is the most suitable procedure to you based on your physical condition to stop sweaty palms. My suggestion is that you should always try the non surgical, non invasive routines before going for the irreversible surgical procedures.
