Palm sweating is a horrible problem. Even if it isn’t a serious medical condition, it can still totally disrupt your day-to-day living. You can’t go out on dates because you’re too afraid that he or she will want to hold hands. You can’t go to parties, clubs, or church because you don’t want to shake hands with anybody. It’s an insecurity that seems to never completely go away. It just sort of lingers in the back of your mind all the time.

In other words, sweaty palms can really affect your self esteem. It can cause social phobia.

What you need to do is STOP BEING AFRAID! Being afraid will only make the problem worse!

You CAN keep your hands dry. You CAN improve your self esteem!

Take the first step towards a more confident you with these 7 tips.

1. Diet, Diet, Diet. Drink Tons of Water

Doing so will keep your internal body temperature down. When your body is cool, you won’t sweat as much. You won’t be on as edge as much. Stay away from coffee and alcohol. Don’t eat a lot of unhealthy foods, as they will lead to more sweat.

People who eat healthy diets can usually eliminate one cause of excessive sweating – obesity. They also tend to have more self confidence which can generally minimize nervous sweating.

2. Exercise Daily!

Again, exercising will give you higher self esteem. Feel sexier in as little as a month and start feeling more confident about your appearance. Plus, the more you exercise, the healthier your metabolism will become. Depending on the degree of your excessive palm sweating this can make a difference in the amount of sweat you produce.

3. Just Relax!

Sometimes this sounds easier than it actually is. We all have busy lives. If you’re a naturally nervous person, then it’s no wonder that you sweat all the time. Nervous people tend to have self esteem issues as well and this can create a chain reaction that causes anxiety induced sweating.

There are so many things you can do to relax yourself and to stay calm. If there’s something or someone at work or school who’s causing you some stress, either avoid them as much as you can or learn to not let them bother you so much.

Keep repeating to yourself over and over “I am fine. Everything is okay. It’s unimportant to me what anybody else says or thinks about me. All that matters is that I know that I’m a great person.”

Learn some deep breathing techniques. You’ll be surprised at how dry your hands will be if you’re able to stay relaxed.

4. Drink Tomato Juice and/or Acai Berry Juice Every Day

Yup. Both tomato juice and acai berry juice can actually prevent hand sweating. Not only can you drink them, but you can soak your hands in them as well. Sure, it might seem kinda gross, but it’s very helpful.

Tomatoes and acai berries have antioxidant properties. They will destroy the germs and bacteria on your hands better than a lot of soaps. Drink at least one cup of your preferred juice a day, or soak your hands in it every morning for about 30 minutes if you prefer.

5. Did You Know That Charcoal Can Prevent Sweating?

Not many people know this, but activated charcoal is one of the best remedies for well… anything! It’s a detoxifier and it works very well for those with excessive sweating problems.

Take an activated charcoal supplement on an empty stomach twice a day. Not only will it prevent sweating, it will also clear your skin up and leave it clean and supple.

6. Try An Alternative Treatment Such As Aromatherapy, Acupuncture, Or Herbs!

I know, some people don’t believe that these alternative treatments really work. But if you give them a try, you might be surprised.

For aromatherapy, try essential oils such as lavender, lemon, peppermint, and cypress oil.

Herbal remedies include witch hazel, ground ivy, aloe vera, basil, and valerian. Not all of these can be taken orally. Just topically apply them to your hands. Let them dry for a few minutes and then rinse them off. The basil and valerian can also help reduce stress.

An acupuncturist can treat both sweaty palms and stress. If you live near an acupuncturist, schedule a meeting to see if there is anything they can do to help you.

7. Iontophoresis Therapy

One popular and growing solution to treat successful Hyperhidrosis is Iontophoresis therapy. Using Iontophoresis therapy, Hyperhidrosis can be treated successfully in most cases.  This method of treatment does not require the use of drugs or getting surgery.  Most importantly, iontophoresis treatment has very few potential side effects.

In the early stages of treatment, the affected parts of the body should be treated once a day for about 10-15 minutes.  Normally, 5-20 CONSECUTIVE days of treatment sessions are sufficient to reduce the moisture content of the skin to a normal level.  After this initial treatment, the frequency of the sessions can usually be reduced to once or twice a week.

Here’s a bonus tip: THINK POSITIVE! You can improve your self esteem if you learn how to think positive. Just visualize yourself with dry, clean hands. Positive thinking, when combined with the above tips, will enable you to keep your hands dry AND feel better about yourself!
