subject: Stopping Hyperhidrosis [print this page] If you are searching to get a cure for your sweaty palms you are quickly gonna run across the mysterious word "iontophoresis". This specific word refers to just about the most effective remedy for sweaty palms offered.
The way iontophoresis works is to introduce a little, weak electric current into the perspiration glands on your hands or feet to stop the endless sweating for quite some time, often up to several weeks. This weak current is actually conducted to your hands or feet by immersing them in a shallow tray of normal drinking water out of the tap.
Please don't worry about the safety problem as the current is just not intense enough to cause any kind of harm. Nonetheless, even though it is so weak, it is capable to cure always wet palms or sweaty feet for a long period of time.
The process will begin by placing either your hands or your feet into the shallow trays of normal tap water. The iontophoresis device is attached to these tray via wireing to provide the required electrical charge,
Once the iontophoreses device is turned on and is supplying current to the trays of water, all you need to do is leave your hands or feet in the water for about 20 minutes. When you begin the iontophoresis treatment, you will repeat this daily until the sweating stops, most often within 5 to 7 days.
On occasion, if your sweating is particularly severe, it may take up to two weeks of daily sessions until the sweating goes away, But, please do not be concerned, given enough time, this procedure will work and work well.
Once the treatment has successfully halted the perspiration all that's needed is is a maintenance schedule to ensure continued dry hands or feet. A pretty reliable rule of thumb is that you will probably need a refresher iontophoresis treatment about once every three to four weeks. But, this really is just an estimate, as you experiment with the treatment schedule you may end up with a shorter, or much longer time between treatments.
Commercially built Iontophoresis equipment are available for about $ 1,000 and require a doctor's prescription. However, the basics of the machine ar absurdly simple and can be put together by almost any person for far less money.
