Hyperhidrosis of the palms and soles, regardless of race or sex, often occurs in the childhood or adolescence. Generally this symptom, whose definite cause is not known, worsens in the emotional state of anxiety and nervousness. Although this symptom is likely to interfere with one's daily life including career activities and to give a sense of mental oppression, no treatment is yet to bring a successful result. Amid the hyperhidrosis of the palms and soles patients, we applied 'bakhotang-gamibang' and acupuncture treatment to the three patients who has heat in the stomach. We hereby inform results of the improvement in the symptom of those patients.
