Sweating is a natural process of the body. Human body needs to sweat to maintain the normal temperature. But when the level of sweating becomes excessive, the condition is known as hyperhidrosis. However, this condition can be treated if you have the right knowledge of how to deal with problem sweat. In order to deal with the problem of excessive sweating, it is very important to know the causes behind it.

The condition of excessive sweating is linked with over activity in the sympathetic nervous system that controls the release of Acetylcholine, a kind of neurotransmitter that tells the body to sweat. The over-reaction of this Acetylcholine produces excess sweat. Some of the factors that contribute to excess sweating problem are obesity, poor diet, anxiety etc.

This will not only protect your skin, but help your body to fight against sweat.
