?acupuncture and palmar hyperhidrosis

[Guest guest]

My daughter is 7 years old and has a severe case of palmar

hyperhidrosis (sweaty palms). I am looking for treatments for this

but some of the possible side effects are worse than the problem.

Does anyone have any experience with treating this and does

acupuncture work for this problem.

 

Desperate in search of answers.

Hi Gerald,

 

I am not specifically aware of this particular condition, however, in

Oriental Medicine we do not treat the disease (dis-order) but the whole

person. I would suggest you find or ask for a referral in your area to an

Oriental Medicine practionier (acupuncturist - herbalist) and have your

daughters pulses read and a full evaluation done to see what is at the bottom

of this condition. I have found that acupuncture (when required) herbal

medicine and homeopathy plus other safe and non invasive modalities will

usually help or clear any condition if you are will to invest the time and

resources to do so. Whatever, non of these modalities have any negative side

effects and at seven years of age your daughter's potential for damage from

pharmaceutical drugs and their sometimes unknown long term effects would not

be a great choice especially as she is still growing and this is not a life

threatening dis-ease.

 

Feel free to write back.

 

Sincerely,
