Other Names:
Hyperhidrosis

Symptoms:
Sweating during sleeping hours which seems abnormal. The sweating may begin all at once.


Cause:
There may be a lack of air in the sleeping room. The body may be eliminating toxins and needs help. You may have a thyroid problem.

Treatment:
• Not enough air in a room can cause you to break out in an abnormal sweat. Make sure a current of air flows through your bed chamber when you are sleeping. It does not have to be much, but you need a slight amount of moving fresh air. In some instances, there may be enough air in the room; but, when you breathe out air, it tends to remain in a hollow formed by the bedding. If necessary, breathe through your mouth. If you find that your brain quickly feels better when you do this, then that is a significant way to solve your problem.

• If you are not living right and eating right, then the sweating can be the result of a toxic overload.

• Avoid meat, salt, tobacco, and junk food. Drink 2 oz. of green drink (whizzed up greens in pineapple or apple juice) every day. Do not eat closer than four hours before bedtime. Fast one day a week on distilled water or fruit and vegetable juices.

• Take Epsom salt (2 cups) baths every night, and hot/cold showers in the morning. After the night sweats are past, take 10-minute cool baths in the morning, to tone the system.

• An alternative is to take a hot salt water sponge before retiring. Use 2 tbsp. salt per quart of water. A hot bath followed by a salt glow is also good.

• You may have hot flashes, caused by irregular thyroid activity.
