[shriadishakti] Of doctors and healers !

July 14, 2004

jeez, your cynical attitude doesn't merit much response.

But if you want some static answer because you can't figure it out for yourself

then here...

Wet hands and feet can be an indication of excessive intake of liquids,

including friuts and juices. Could also be a sign of disorders in the

digestive, circulatory, and excretory systems.

But again these are just examples, it may be something else, it is for you to

play with.

Look at the diet, and be sensitive to the reactions of your body to the food you

put in it.

As you know the hands, fingers, feet and toes are the periphery manifestations

indicating the condition of the internal organs.

So, it may not even be a " bad " thing, but since you don't like it, find out how

to influence it.

kindest regards,

lovinhugs,

Jai Shri Mataji

This is taken from one health article. As far as sahajayoga treatment is concerned, One of my staff members had the problem of excessive sweating of the palms and he would wet all the things he would touch. I almost dismissed him from the job. He was not a sy. I introduced him to sahaj and asked him to footsoak for at least 2 times a day. but he was irregular and did not take it seriously saying that he has changed at least 10 doctors and spent a lot of money and time and no one is able to cure. Nevertheless he did footsoaking on my insistence and after say around 4 times of footsoaking his problem of sweating was solved 90 %.

I feel balancing the left side, footsoaking and handsoaking would solve the problem completely. You may contact Dr. Madhur Rai at our health and research center here in CBD, Navi Mumbai for precise treatment. The No. of International Sahajayoga Research and health Center is 27571341, 27576922, 7561972, 7576795. You should dial the india code and mumbai code before dialing. You can mail me at maheshkhatri any mail that I can forward them. I dont have their email id at the moment.

The Article

For some people who sweat excessively, the answer may be simple: an over-the-counter (OTC) antiperspirant used on the hands and feet as well as the underarms. Antiperspirants block your sweat ducts with aluminum salts, thereby reducing the amount of perspiration that reaches your skin. Deodorants, which can eliminate odor but not perspiration, turn your skin acidic, which makes it less attractive to bacteria. Although you may have heard stories linking antiperspirants and breast cancer, there's no evidence of such a link.

Antiperspirants can cause irritation or even contact dermatitis — red, swollen, itchy skin. In fact, antiperspirants are the cosmetic product most associated with skin irritation. Deodorants, especially herbal or crystal deodorants, may be less irritating for most people.

If OTC products aren't strong enough, your doctor may suggest a prescription antiperspirant. For more severe problems with sweating, he or she may recommend other treatments, including:

Iontophoresis. In this procedure, a dermatologist uses a battery-powered device to deliver a low current of electricity to the affected area. Although iontophoresis is painless and quite safe, it may be no more effective than a topical antiperspirant.

Botulinum toxin (Botox). This is the same product that helps smooth facial wrinkles by paralyzing certain muscles. Researchers have discovered that Botox injections are also an effective way to treat severe hyperhidrosis by blocking the nerves that trigger the sweat glands. Botox isn't a cure-all, however. It may take several injections to achieve the desired results, the treatment can be painful, and the results only last about 4 months. In addition, although Botox stops sweating, it doesn't prevent body odor.

Surgery. In rare cases surgery may be an option. If excess sweating occurs just in your armpits, removing the sweat glands may help. Another procedure involves cutting the nerves that carry the messages from the sympathetic nerves to the sweat glands. At one time this was a major operation, requiring large incisions in the chest or back to reach the spinal column, where the nerves are located. You typically stayed in the hospital a week and could expect to spend a month recovering. But today the surgery can be performed laparoscopically using a procedure known as endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy. It requires just three small incisions for a video telescope and small surgical instruments. Although the operation is delicate, it typically requires only a day in the hospital and produces minimal scarring. Following the surgery, sweating on the hands permanently stops. But increased sweating can occur elsewhere on your body, such as your

back or the back of your legs.

Self-care

You can do a number of things on your own to reduce sweating and body odor. The following suggestions may help:

Bathe daily. Regular bathing helps keep the number of bacteria on your skin in check.

Dry your feet thoroughly after you bathe. Microorganisms thrive in the damp spaces between your toes. Use OTC foot powders to help absorb sweat.

Choose shoes and socks made of natural materials. Shoes made of natural materials, such as leather, can help prevent sweaty feet by allowing your feet to breathe.

Rotate your shoes. Shoes won't completely dry overnight, so try not to wear the same pair 2 days in a row if you have trouble with sweaty feet.

Wear the right socks. Cotton and wool socks help keep your feet dry because they absorb moisture. When you're active, moisture-wicking athletic socks are a good choice.

Change your socks often. Change socks or hose once or twice a day, drying your feet thoroughly each time. Women should try pantyhose with cotton soles.

Air your feet. Go barefoot when you can, or at least slip out of your shoes now and then.

Choose natural-fiber clothing. Wear natural fabrics, such as cotton, wool and silk, that allow your skin to breathe. When you exercise, you might prefer high-tech fabrics that wick moisture away from your skin.

Apply antiperspirants nightly. At bedtime, apply antiperspirants to sweaty palms or soles of the feet. Try perfume-free antiperspirants.

Try relaxation techniques. Consider relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation or biofeedback. These can help you learn to control the stress that triggers perspiration.

Change your diet. If foods or beverages cause you to sweat more than usual or your perspiration to smell, consider eliminating caffeinated drinks from your diet as well as foods with strong odors, such as garlic and onions.

To help prevent dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke:

Drink plenty of water. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink water — by the time you feel thirsty, you're already dehydrated. If you're exercising, drink before, during and after you exercise.

Exercise when it's cooler. In hot weather, try to exercise early in the morning or in the evening.

Choose appropriate clothing. When the weather's warm, wear loose, lightweight, natural-fiber clothing. In cooler temperatures, layer your clothes.

Wear a hat. Keep your head covered when exercising or working outdoors in hot weather.

Avoid drinking caffeine or alcohol. Both these liquids are dehydrating.

Pay attention to your body. Don't ignore the warning signs and symptoms of heat stress, such as muscle cramps, nausea, dizziness or weakness.
