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.
