Abstract

ABSTRACT Primary focal hyperhidrosis (primary hyperhidrosis) is a pathological disorder characterised by excessive sweating in the local sites such as the palmar surface of the hands, axillae, soles and face to a degree that interferes with daily life in affected persons. This case report brings into light an innovative management of Primary Hyperhidrosis. Ayurvedic formulations such as Patolakaturohinyadi Kashayam for internal use and Shireeshadi Choornam as Avachoornana for external use were administered for this condition. After 35 days, the patient was re-examined and there was a significant change in Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL hydration values and Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) and Hyperhidrosis Quality of Life (HidroQOL) scores.
