I will update this page in more detail as time goes by and I can gather information about peoples' positive experiences with various treatment combinations from the forums of this site. I do know for certain that every single one of these nonsurgical treatments has helped at least some people over the years, with the iontophoresis treatments holding the best prospects for treating severe palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis. Almost every one of these treatments frequently leads to decent results for armpit sweating reduction or elimination.
For now, a typical order of experimenting with treatments is presented below. Alternative treatments such as meditation and breathing exercises (to possibly control your nervous system) can be attempted at any time, although very few people manage to become experts at these skills due to the nature of the world and lifestyle we live in. However, it is interesting to note that most of us HH patients probably notice that our hyperhidrosis completely ceases when we drink alcohol or when we are asleep (or on the verge of sleeping). So, we should clearly be able to stop this sweating on a regular basis if we can somehow guide our minds to instill in us a sense of bliss all the time without the need for sleep or alcohol! Thats where meditation or yoga or hypnosis or other such alternative treatments could help.
If one treatment does not work, you can try a combination of them. On the forums of this site, you will hopefully find useful suggestions about what combinations have worked best for others, and will post your experiences on there too.
