Acupressure for anxiety

For those with mild to moderate hyperhidrosis, acupressure might help. Basically, you apply pressure to various points of your body. Some believe that acupressure can relieve anxiety. Sure, massage is better. But acupressure is free.

Try these acupressure techniques and let me know if it helped. They helped me! Then again so does chasing soccer balls, petting puppies, and watching Will Ferrell movies.

Alt-med treatments for hyperhidrosis

Google has created some interesting search tools around medical topics. For example, if you search hyperhidrosis, you can get a sub-set of results related to alternative medicine treatments for hyperhidrosis.

I haven't had a chance to read all the results, and a few look suspect to me, but here are a few interesting links -- let me know what you think!

• acupuncture for hyperidrosis
• Sweathelp.org -- " We often hear about people using alternative therapies to treat hyperhidrosis. These therapies may include herbal substances such as sage tea or sage tablets, chamomile, valerian root, and St. John’s Wort. Acupuncture, biofeedback, hypnosis, and relaxation techniques have also been suggested as potential treatments. Currently there is little research to recommend such alternative therapies but this doesn’t discount their potential."
