Acupuncture may help those suffering from excessive perspiration. No one is sure what causes excessive sweating has to do with the sweat glands over reacting to both temperature and emotional stress. The cause of secondary hyperhydrosis can be attributed to issues such as Panic Attacks, Anxiety Disorders, Hyperthyroid, Hypothyroid, Caner, Menopause and Obesity.
Methods of treatment are abundant, some are extreme such as surgery and others natural, such as acupuncture. Hyperhydrosis Acupuncture has been said to be successful in the treatment of excessive sweating.
Chinese medicine, such as hyperhydrosis acupuncture, is often over looked by western medicine and may be worth pursuing before attempting surgery or prescriptions. Acupuncture originated in China more than 2,000 years ago, making it one of the oldest and most commonly used medical procedures in the world.
What is Hyperhydrosis Acupuncture?
Acupuncture became better known in the United States in 1971, when New York Times reporter James Reston wrote about how doctors in China used needles to ease his pain after surgery. It is rumored that around this time frame is when hyperhydrosis acupuncture was also introduced to western society.
The term acupuncture describes a family of procedures involving stimulation of anatomical points on the body by a variety of techniques; it stimulates points directly related to excessive sweating. American practices of acupuncture incorporate medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries. The acupuncture technique that has been most studied scientifically involves penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles that are manipulated by the hands or by electrical stimulation.
What does Hyperhydrosis acupuncture feel like?
Acupuncture needles are metallic, solid, and hair-thin. People experience hyperhydrosis acupuncture differently, but most feel little or no pain as the needles are inserted. Some people are energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed. Improper needle placement, movement of the patient, or defects in the needle can cause soreness and pain during treatment and is a prime example of why it’s important to seek treatment from a qualified hyperhidrosis acupuncture practitioner.
Is acupuncture safe?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved hyperhidrosis acupuncture needles for use by licensed practitioners in 1996. The FDA requires that sterile, nontoxic needles be used and that they be labeled for single use by qualified practitioners only.
Relatively few complications from the use of hyperhydrosis acupuncture have been reported to the FDA in light of the millions of people treated each year and the number of acupuncture needles used. Still, complications have resulted from inadequate sterilization of needles and from improper delivery of treatments. When not delivered properly, acupuncture can cause serious adverse effects, including infections and punctured organs.
Health care practitioners can be a resource for referral to acupuncturists for hyperhydrosis. More medical doctors, including neurologists, anesthesiologists, and specialists in physical medicine, are becoming trained in hyperhidrosis acupuncture, TCM, and other CAM therapies.
Check a hyperhydrosis practitioner’s credentials.
An acupuncture practitioner specializing in excessive sweating, who is licensed with credentials may provide better care than one who is not. About 40 states have established training standards for acupuncture certification, but states have varied requirements for obtaining a license to practice acupuncture.

I am 26 yrs old from nepal.i ve been suffering from hyperhidrosis since childhood.i showed many neurologist but no way out.no treatment is available in mY COUNTRY.I M TIERD OF LIVIN MY OWN LIFE.PLZ HELP ME OUT.
Okay, so I’m 13 years old and i have been suffering hyperhidrosis for 3 years. I am very skilled in covering it up, and have tried numerous things. I wear a black sweater of some kind over all of my shirts, and it has seemed to hide whats underneath.
I don’t know if this is just God showing me that i need to rise my self esteem or that for some unlucky reason i was cursed with this. My mom decided to go to an organic natural doctor and i found out that acupuncture has helped people before. I’m not sure if I’m ready for this kind of disappointment, but maybe it’s worth it.
I would like to know how reliable this source is, and how much it usually costs. Thank you(:

I am from Philippines and my boyfriend from London UK, I am suffering from hyperhidrosis since birth and my boyfriend took me to the blue water mall where we went to have acupuncture for sweating. My first session seems to be effective but I’m told I still need 9 more sessions before it will be gone forever in my life!!! I cannot wait, I hope this really works and doesn’t end up being a lie!
I am an acupuncturist in practice for 15 years. Worked in neurology practice for 10 and have previous degree in dentistry with internship in surgery. I have treated many cases of hyperhydrosis. Some cases respond splendidly and others not. I never experienced a worsening of symptoms from treatment. I believe needling needs to be subtle- shallow insertions and very little if any manipulation. Generally, less is more. Happy to answer any questions. Located in South Florida.

I am looking for a qualified hyperhidrosis acupuncturist in the Houston area or Lubbock, TX area. Anyone have information? How do I go about finding one? I’m desperate!
I suffer from excessive sweating for at least five years now. Maybe its because of the cannabis, alcohol and E i took back then, no one knows. But just two days ago i went to an acupuncturist for the first time, and its already better! I still sweat, but it comes later, and doesn’t last as long as it did before. I also got some Chinese herb pills from the acupuncturist.
So I can’t wait for what the next treatment will bring. It’s promising! Whether its really working on my body or it’s just in my mind, i don’t care (I’m not an easy believer though). It helps already.
I will post any further results…

Where is South FL can I find a qualified hyperhidrosis acupuncturist? I have spent about $7,000 over the last 5 years trying to fix this with acupuncture. The symptoms get worse depending on who I am going to because they don’t know how to treat this. This all started with acupuncture.
My whole life only my face sweat, nothing else. It was GREAT, but I didn’t know it. I went to an acupuncturist to maybe balance the sweating throughout the body and opened up my whole body. Since this happened with acupuncture, I have been trying to fix it with acupuncture. I am worse – the last guy put a needle in my head which makes my hair drenched, and also in the center of my back which makes my back drenched. I am really messing myself up.
Please, if you know anybody who could help me in the South FL area, I need to know. Thank you so much. Any other suggestions?
