Dear Dr Halevi,
Would you please share your valuable experience about principles/protoccols of treatment of hyperhydrosis/excessive sweating by acupuncture in this forum. Thanks. |

Sorry for my late reply on this, I have been abroad these couple of weeks. Do you mean a generalized kind of hyperhydrosis or only at the hands and/or feet? |

I mean generalized hyperhydrosis with more concentration on both hands and feet. |

Symptomatically speaking, I use points such P-7/ H-7/ L-9 for the palms and points such as K-2/ Liv-2/ B-65 for the feet. If diagnosis indicates Yin xu pattern involved, you treat accordingly. Sometimes there is a yang excess condition and you need to treat this pattern along with the symptomatic points. |

Dear Dr Halevi,
I am a Chinese Medicine student in Australia. Would you please let me know the reasons why we use Yuan-Source points on hand but use Ying-Spring \ Shu -Stream points on feet in this case? Thanks.
Regards,

In this case, there is no relevance to the nature of the chosen points, rather to their physical location. Those points at the "root" of the palms and the suggested points on the feet, have the ability to adjust the function of the nervous system flow to these areas, thereby eliminating the excess s.n.s. activity and perspiration. It is therefore imperative to manipulate these points in even manipulation with slight dispersion. However, as mentioned in my reply, this symptomatic treatment will not be enough unless you add a prescription of points to address the general imbalance that might have led to the hyperhydrosis condition. Here, you can definitely build your prescription according to the laws/rules of classic acupuncture and choose between Yuan/source, sedation/tonification points and so on. |
