i myself a doctor and facing lots of problem to interact with patients.

i had shown to homeopathy dr, even he said there is no treatment.just eat healthy food fresh fruits thats it.he said it might be due to riboflavin deficiency and gave tabs.but i dont find any use.

@manasa40,

Welcome to IL. As for yoga, I am not sure of any asana in particular that can help but you most certainly can try yoga and it might help you. If you are hesitant to try because of your issue, I would ask you to spread a towel on your yoga mat and do yoga so that you may not find it slippery. You also get what are called hot yoga mats - one side the usual and the other toweled for you. You could use that. Perhaps a few months of yoga might help you.

That said, I also read a couple of articles which said some pranayama or meditation can help. Perhaps you could try that. I understand (by searching on internet) this excessive sweating is called hyperhidrosis. Also you can check with a doctor about hyperhidrosis and see if that is what you have and can get help, medically.

Almost all yoga related articles tell you that you can do yoga and none specify the poses other than how to enjoy yoga despite the sweat. I am sorry that I am not of any particular help with a specific answer.
