Effective remedies for severe sweating of palms, armpits and face

Sweating is a physiological process necessary for the body's thermoregulation. Not only sick people sweat, but also healthy people. This is caused by physical exertion, high air or body temperature. However, there are a number of reasons causing excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis): stress, extra pounds, vegetative-vascular dystonia, changes in hormonal levels, increased thyroid function, infectious diseases, etc. In any case, excessive moisture in certain areas or the entire body, and often the accompanying unpleasant odor, cause a lot of unpleasant moments for a person, sometimes leading to neuroses and depression. Naturally, to get rid of a symptom, it is necessary to eliminate its cause. But if sweating is a person's peculiarity, not associated with diseases, you need to resort to existing remedies for sweating.

Pharmacodynamics

The pharmacodynamics of dry dry consists of contraction of sweat glands, while their functions are not impaired, sweat evaporation is redirected to other places or excreted from the kidneys.

Formidron destroys the structure of protein molecules, which means it has a detrimental effect on skin bacteria, but is especially effective against fungi and viruses. In addition, it helps to close the sweat glands, causing them to atrophy.

Antiperspirants based on natural ingredients use the properties of each specific substance: essential oils of various plants, mineral water, natural minerals, without destroying the microflora and functions of the sweat glands.

Hormonal drugs during menopause have a positive effect on the autonomic nervous system, eliminate the lack of hormones, non-hormonal drugs reduce sweating and hot flashes, and normalize metabolism.

Teymurov paste has a disinfectant, drying, deodorizing effect. Atropine reduces the secretion of sweat glands.

The introduction of Botox and Dysport blocks the nerve impulses entering the sweat gland, thereby rendering it inoperative.

Pharmacokinetics

The aluminum-protein film of dry dry, which blocks the pores of sweat glands, is insoluble, so the absorption of aluminum by the body does not occur.

The pharmacokinetics of formidron are determined by the pharmacokinetics of the main active substance, formaldehyde - in the body it is converted into formic acid.

Drugs that ease the course of menopause have good bioavailability, appearing in the bloodstream within a short period of time.
