Why Do We Sweat?

Every person strives to develop themselves and to significantly improve their individual quality of life. Excessive sweating is more than just an annoying problem in this regard, as it often severely restricts personal freedom. People who suffer from this issue often withdraw because no one likes to endure the pitying looks of others. Home remedies like sage tea or alternating baths usually only show short-term or even no effect at all.

Causes of Sweating

Sweat production is basically a natural protective function of the body that is meant to prevent overheating of the organism.

Another cause of the sometimes intense activity of the sweat glands can be stressful situations. The so-called cold sweat runs down your back. This is a reflex that occurs in special stress situations. A chemical process in the body is responsible for us sweating particularly heavily in these situations. Blood sugar rises, cortisol is released, which leads to an adrenaline rush. This reflex was often vital in the Stone Age because it sharpens the senses, releases energy, and causes us to start sweating. Stone Age humans could thus escape the impending danger. Today, the reflex is rather annoying. The high adrenaline level in the blood causes the skin to be less supplied with blood and to cool down. Sweat can only poorly evaporate on cool skin, which is why it is also called cold sweat. We cannot suppress the reflex, but we can contain the negative symptoms.

Some people tend to carry the stress of the day into their sleep and therefore suffer particularly from sweating outbreaks at night. The cause is often the stress of the day, which is broken down during sleep. It becomes very unpleasant when you wake up in the middle of the night and find yourself in sweat-soaked sheets. Restless sleep stresses the body additionally, and it can also become a real problem for the partner.
People who suffer from excessive sweat production are often caught in a vicious circle. The stress factor they are exposed to rises immeasurably because the fear of sweating triggers stress again, which in turn leads to sweating outbreaks. Relaxation techniques and meditation only help to a limited extent. To escape this vicious circle, a reliable and fast-acting remedy against sweating is necessary.

Furthermore, there are also life phases in which it is quite normal to sweat more. The menopause in women is just one example. In this phase, which is part of every woman's life, the hormonal change in the body causes sometimes excessive sweat production. So-called hot flashes are the result. The sweating outbreaks cannot be controlled and therefore often lead to very unpleasant situations, especially the face is often affected. Most women are relieved after the body's adjustment phase, and the sweat glands return to their normal activity. Nevertheless, there are also some women for whom this unfortunately does not apply. Sweat production does not completely reduce again. To lead a carefree, active life and maintain youthful quality of life, an effective remedy against sweating is advisable.
