I have mild form of Hyperhidrosis. I was researching about this. This is what I found in Ayurveda (East Indian Natural medicine)
To explain in simple terms. Excessive sweating happens when there is too much Heat in the body. The sweating is generated to regulate the body temperature. Now the Excessive Sweating can be controlled by changing the diet. The heat element in the body is called Pitta. So excess Pitta in the body means excess heat
- Ghee (Clarified Butter) is cooling to the body. Can be used like butter

- Sweet juicy fruits, especially pears, can cool a fiery Pitta quickly. Milk, sweet rice pudding, coconut and coconut juice, and milkshakes made with ripe mangoes and almonds or dates are examples of soothing Pitta-pacifying foods.
- The three ayurvedic tastes that help balance Pitta are sweet, bitter and astringent
- Eat less of the salty, pungent and sour tastes.
- Add Blanched Almonds
- Dry cereal, crackers, granola and cereal bars, and rice cakes balance the liquid nature of Pitta dosha, and can be eaten any time hunger pangs strike during the day.
- Drink a glass of buttermilk with water added to it after meals.
- Oats are good to reduce heat in the body.
