let’s talk about how to deal with

excessive sweating

not just in your hands

but your whole body the medical term for

this is called hyperhidrosis

you have the acronym gland okay you have

another gland called the apocrine gland

and then you have the third one which is

sebaceous gland okay

so i’m going to attempt to make this

very very

simple okay just to really kind of

navigate through it in a simple way

because there’s a bit of complexity

now this gland responds with exercise

uh nervousness emotional stress uh hot

weather and then the april crinkland um

responds to emotional stress fear pain

and the sebaceous gland’s a little bit

different because it’s releasing kind of

this little bit of an oil called sebum

for lubrication these two glands are

releasing salt and other electrolytes so

these two glands are primarily

for

cooling okay so

causing this sweating reaction and then

the evaporation of the liquid creating a

cooling sensation so these two are

really involved with temperature

regulation

and it’s really the over stimulation of

this gland right here which is

responsible for this excess sweating and

it’s usually triggered by some stress

usually emotion and so the body’s

tolerance of stress okay

is just lowered little things will

trigger it now you may not feel stressed

but apparently your body has a very low

threshold for stress

now what’s really really bizarre to me

is that the treatment that they do

on some of these cases

is surgical it’s called the thoracic

sympathectomy okay they literally

remove part of your sympathetic nervous

system so in sweden this is banned

because of the side effects okay i mean

removing part of your nervous system is

is a bit invasive or they use

medications

to inhibit uh these neurotransmitter

enzymes okay i’m gonna try to again try

to keep this real simple the temperature

regulation and your your bodies in the

brain you can call it the thermostat

okay it’s like in the hypothalamus so

it’s very similar to what i have in my

studio right now i have the controls

and there’s a little sensor over there

that detects a certain temperature of 70

degrees so anything that goes

too high or too low and that mechanism

will either kick in or cool it down or

raise the temperature so there’s a

little sensor or receptor that picks up

temperature that’s controlling the whole

thing same thing in the brain there’s a

receptor here that picks up temperature

and either turns things off or turns

things on so we have this feedback

thermostat mechanism going on between

your hypothalamus and your skin okay so

that’s as deep as i’m going to get with

that so these medications work by kind

of completing this communication

and turning off

this mechanism so it doesn’t keep going

on and on and on and so

surgically

they’re removing part of the sympathetic

nervous system but the medications work

on both the sympathetic and the

parasympathetic nervous system so really

they’re attempting to kind of balance

out

this autonomic nervous system but they

do target the autonomic nervous system

so the question is is there something

natural is there something herbal that

can be done that mimics this without the

side effects because these medications

always have side effects and the answer

is

yes there is okay

and the very specific uh phytonutrient

that will mimic this medication is

called

rosemarinic acid which happens to be

in rosemary and sage okay so both of

these plants have this phytonutrient

that can actually help mimic this

medication now the next thing that i

found related to this topic is vitamin

b1

thymine okay

there’s one side effect from a severe b1

deficiency and that severe b1 deficiency

okay if you want to know the name it’s

called wernicke

corsicoff that is part of beriberi which

is a b1 deficiency one of the side

effects of the syndrome is excessive

sweating

it just so happens

thymine is involved

heavily in the autonomic nervous system

okay it’s essential for the autonomic

nervous system to work and if you’re

deficient in b1 you can have all sorts

of problems with the autonomic nervous

system but excessive sweating is one so

anytime you have a problem with the

sympathetic nervous system which is the

flight or fight or even the

the parasympathetic you want to use

vitamin b1 in sufficient amounts

and as an interesting coincidence the

herb sage is very rich in vitamin b1 and

vitamin b1 as far as what it does in the

brain

is it works on the limbic system which

is intimately involved with

your emotions okay so it’s kind of a

relay switch involved in emotion and

emotional stress and the more emotional

stress that a person has the less b1

they’re going to have because you the

requirement for b1 goes up when you

experience stress and taking b1 helps to

reduce stress but all you need to know

right now it’s involved in the limbic

system so there are two things i’m going

to recommend okay number one if you have

this condition excessive sweating okay

take this

either in the form of rosemary or sage

okay and

sufficient b1 i would highly recommend

finding a natural b1 not this the

typical synthetic whatever it says on

the directions i would take like four

times the amount to see if that can help

you

all right i hope i explained this in a

very simple way i didn’t want to get too

far into the woods

but the next most interesting video you

should watch is on vitamin b1 and i put

that video up right here check it out
