Hyperhidrosis – Symptoms And Causes Treatment By Ayurveda

Abstract 

Sweating is the basic body mechanism to make the body cool. Whenever we exercise or exert ourselves, the body feels the heat. At that time sweating happens as a bodily response to normalize the body temperature. There are approximately three million sweat glands in the body. Factors that are responsible for sweating our emotions, stress, raised temperature, medications, or illness. In case sweating occurs profusely without exertion, such a condition is called hyperhidrosis. The sweating experienced with hyperhidrosis is much more than normal sweating. In this article, we will discuss the concept of hyperhidrosis, its causes, types, clinical features, complications, and its ayurvedic aspect in detail.

Hyperhidrosis

Introduction

Hyperhidrosis in simple words can be defined as a condition that is associated with excessive sweating in an individual. Hyperhidrosis happens as a primary process of neuronal dysfunction. In hyperhidrosis sweat may soak through the wearing or may drip from the body parts. In this condition, a person may feel sweating without doing any physical work. Sweat in hyperhidrosis is not related to external heat or exercise. A person may sweat profusely without much exertion. Sometimes this condition leads to stress, embarrassment, or anxiety. Hyperhidrosis usually disturbs the normal day-to-day life of the person. An emotional stimulus is also responsible for the activation of sweat glands of the soles and palms. Premotor and frontal projections of the hypothalamus are responsible for the increased emotions and hence promote sweating. A person suffering from hyperhidrosis usually does not feel sweating during sleep.

Types of Hyperhidrosis 

Two types of hyperhidrosis are as follows

1. Primary Hyperhidrosis: This type of hyperhidrosis doesn’t have any specific reason. It might be hereditary and early signs can be seen in childhood. The affected areas are the hands, feet, groin, underarms, and armpits. It is one of the most common types of hyperhidrosis.

 2. Secondary Hyperhidrosis:  This type of hyperhidrosis affects a large area, almost every part of the body. It is not prevalent and in comparison to primary hyperhidrosis, it is less common. The exact cause is unknown in this type of hyperhidrosis.

 Causes

One of the main causes of hyperhidrosis is the hyperactivity of sweat glands. The other causative factors are neurologic, endocrine, and recurrent infections. Heat or factors which aggravate emotions or stress are also responsible for causing hyperhidrosis. are sweat glands.

 Clinical features

  • The palms of the hands become wet or clammy
  • The soles of the feet become clammy or wet
  • Sweating which can be regular
  • Sweat can drip through the clothes
  • Fungal or bacterial infections. Other skin problems can be associated with hyperhidrosis
  • Foul smell from the body or armpits
  • Poor self-esteem
  • Unable to build physical contact
  • Self-conscious
  • Depression or unable to fix a good social life
  • Isolation

The basic complications of hyperhidrosis are

  • Infections. People who sweat profusely are more prone to skin infections.
  • Social and emotional effects. Having clammy or dripping hands and perspiration-soaked clothes can be embarrassing.
  • Your condition may affect your pursuit of work and educational goals.

Diagnosis

The basic test for the diagnosis of hyperhidrosis is the thermoregulatory sweat test. In this test, a powder is applied to the skin. This powder is usually sensitive to moisture. In case excessive sweating occurs even at room temperature can cause the powder to change its color. After performing this the next phase is high heat. The person is exposed to excessive humidity. Persons who are suffering from hyperhidrosis tend to sweat heavily on their palms. The people who are normal do not suffer from any such complaint when exposed to heat. This test also clarifies the severity of the condition.

Management

The management of Hyperhidrosis started with antiperspirants ( Odaban, driclor). Antiperspirants are the basic and first line of treatment for Hyperhidrosis. If in case the medications don’t work surgery sometimes is also suggested. The surgical procedure is associated with the removal of sweat glands or the disconnection of nerves concerned with sweat overproduction. Anticholinergic agents (glycopyrrolate, methacholine bromide, oxybutynin) and alpha-adrenergic agonists (clonidine) are most commonly used in clinical practice.

Ayurvedic aspect

According to the ayurvedic aspect, hyperhidrosis can be correlated with Sweda vaha srotas dushti. Sweda means sweat, it is a waste of tissues, especially the fat tissues, and dhatus. Pitta dosha is also associated with it. When the pitta dosha gets aggravated there is the feeling of excessive heat in the body and the person may suffer from profuse sweating. There is the presence of Sweda vaha srotas, these srotas are basically the sweat-carrying channels located in our skin, pores, and hair follicles. Hyperhidrosis might be a resultant factor of aggravated pitta dosha. Ayurvedic concepts reflect that if there will be contamination of channels in the body, the problem will arise with the concerned system of that channel. Ayurvedic concepts suggest that sweat is metabolized from fat. The other factors associated are obesity, virus aahar vihar (incompatible food), excess exposure to heat, anger, or fear.

Ayurvedic herbs and tips for the management– Various herbs are beneficial to manage the Pitta dushti and aggravated sweating. Herbs like Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia), Mukta (Natural Calcium  Compound from Pearls), Kaharwa (Natural calcium compound), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Tagar (Valeriana wallichii), Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), Amla (Emblica officinalis), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Bahera (Terminalia bellerica), Vacha (Acorus calamus), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia), Daruhaldi (Berberis aristata), Safed Chandan (Santalum album), Kababchini (Piper cubeba), Safed Ral (Shorea Robusta), Gandha Biroja (Pinus longifolia), Katha (Senegalia catechu), Amalaki (Phyllanthus emblica), Kapur (Cinnamomum camphora), Gairik (Red Ochre), Pashanbhed (Bergenia ligulata), Gokshura (Tribulus Terrestris), Choti Elaichi (Elettaria cardamomum). These herbs promote the overall metabolism of the body and help to balance the aggravated pitta dosha and other associated dosha in the body. These act as the chief ingredients in various formulations of Planet Ayurveda like Pitta balance, Brahmi vati, Chandanadi vati, Amalaki rasayan, etc. These herbal formulations of Planet Ayurveda are the best, authentic, and result-oriented with no side effects.

With the above herbs, the following tips can be beneficial to manage hyperhidrosis and decrease the level of sweating or to keep the body hydrated

  • Water intake: It is the most common and easy way to deal with the condition of hyperhidrosis. Hydration therapy is best to improve the water level of the body. The composition of sweat is mainly water with some other electrolytes. In conditions like hyperhidrosis, there is the presence of profuse sweating hence the heavy loss of water. So to maintain the level of water in the body, hydration therapy is very important.
  • Use of raisins: Raisins help to maintain the electrolyte imbalance and help to recover the electrolytes essential for the maintenance of the body. Raisins soaked in water overnight help to pacify the pitta.
  • Seasonal fruits and vegetables: Fruits are the richest source of antioxidants. Obese persons are more prone to hyperhidrosis and usually feel more sweating. Consuming fruits helps to maintain good body weight and also enhances the levels of nutrients.
  • Coriander seeds: Coriander is a good pitta shamak and a potent energy booster. It helps to pacify the aggravated pitta dosha. Concerned persons may take it on an empty stomach daily for a long period of time. Coriander helps to detoxify the body and drain out free radicals.
  • Amla churna and jaggery: Due to the cold potency of amla and its rejuvenator action it helps to pacify the pitta dosha and stabilize the response of the hypothalamus. 
  • Reduce the intake of caffeine: caffeine promotes sweating. So if a person reduces the intake of caffeine, it will help to counter the condition of hyperhidrosis.

Partial Empty Sella Syndrome Treatment By Herbal Remedies

ABSTRACT

Partial Empty Sella Syndrome is considered as a rare syndrome that is associated with sella turcica, a part of the skull. Skull is an important part of our body as it protects our head which includes one of the important organs of our body that is the brain. The main functions of the skull are supporting the face and protecting the soft tissues of the head. It is quite important to take care of the skull, as once the skull gets affected a person could face a lot of problems. It may lead to brain damage and result in fatal conditions. In this article we will study one of the conditions of the skull that is partial empty sella syndrome and how we can manage with the help of ayurvedic management.

Partial Empty Sella Syndrome

INTRODUCTION

Empty sella syndrome is one of the rarest disorders that includes the part of the skull named as sella turcica. The sella turcica is located at the base of the skull  in the sphenoid bone which holds on the pituitary gland. In case of partial empty sella syndrome the part of the skull sella turcica is partially filled by CSF (cerebral fluid). The pituitary gland gets smaller in size in case of partial empty sella syndrome. When there is some underlying condition the partial empty sella syndrome is known as the secondary empty sella syndrome and when there is no associated cause then it is known as primary empty sella syndrome. Further we will discuss the cause and symptoms of empty sella syndrome.

CAUSES

As we read earlier it is of two types primary and the secondary one so the causes are different for both the types. The causes for primary empty sella syndrome are not clear yet but it can be related to birth defect that is in the  diaphragma sellae which is a membrane covering the sella turcica. Some of the patients are born with a small tear in the covering of sella turcica that leads to CSF leakage in the sella turcica. And it is not clear that this is the exact cause of this syndrome but considered as one of the risk factors. Now let’s see the causes of secondary empty sella syndrome, these may includes head trauma, infection, pituitary tumours, radiation therapy, intracranial hypertension, sheehan syndrome, neurosarcoidosis- these all are the conditions of the brain and pituitary that may lead to empty sella syndrome.

SYMPTOMS

Empty sella syndrome although doesn’t show any symptoms but in case of secondary empty sella syndrome a person may experience symptoms associated with the particular condition. Most of the patients with this syndrome suffered from chronic headaches but nobody is sure if it is due to the empty sella syndrome or due to high blood pressure. Other symptoms associated with the pituitary gland as its shrinkage occur in this syndrome. Rarely the empty sella syndrome associated with the building up of pressure in sella tunica that leads to the following symptoms:

  • Leakage of spinal fluid from the nose
  • Problematic vision
  • Swelling of optic nerve in the eye
  • Low production of pituitary hormones
  • Increase in pressure of spinal fluid
  • Impotence in Men
  • Hampered menstruation in females

DIAGNOSIS

Empty sella syndrome is not easy to diagnose as it does not produce any specific symptoms. If there is a suspicion of the disorder in some cases then the case will be further diagnosed with physical examination and after that one review is taken on the medical history of the patient. For clear diagnosis CT Scan and MRI is to be done. This examination also helps in diagnosing if the empty sella syndrome is partial or total. One other thing is to be added in a clear diagnosis that is the examination of pituitary hormones such as Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), Luteinising hormone (LH), Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), Prolactin (PRL) and some other. So these are some steps of diagnosing the empty sella syndrome to be followed for clear diagnosis.

AYURVEDIC VIEW

As per ayurveda there is no direct correlation of Empty Sella Syndrome, there is the involvement of all the tridosha in thi syndrome. As the pathology of the disease is like there is the accumulation of CSF in sella turcica and then the size of the pituitary gets shrinked, at last there is depletion of pituitary hormones. So the flow of CSF into sella turcica is due to vitiation of vata dosha, the accumulation is due to increase in kapha dosha and the low secretion of pituitary hormones are due to vitiation of pitta dosha. So in the management of partial empty sella syndrome we have to keep regulating the tridosha.
