Excessive sweating is one of the oldest known dermatological conditions. Roughly 1% of the world population is affected by it. Excessive sweating has a significant negative impact on quality of life. Excessive sweating results from excessive sympathetic stimulation of the eccrine sweat glands.
Some herbs such as White Peony root and Astragulus have been found to be very useful in the treatment of excessive sweating. Astragulus is an amphoteric to sweating and increases or decreases sweating as needed. Some of the major natural herbs used for treatment of excessive sweating are:
- Sage (Salvia officinalis)
- White Peony root (Paeonia albifloria)
- Astragulus
- Schisandra berry (Schisandra chinesis)
