Sweating during nervousness
symptom
While receiving treatment for other symptoms, the patient mentioned that they had been troubled by excessive sweating when feeling nervous.
She said that when she was younger, she used to sweat on her face as well, but in recent years, she has been particularly concerned about sweating on her head, armpits, palms, and soles of her feet.
For example, she mentioned that she has long been troubled by excessive sweating in stressful situations at work, such as when she is leading a meeting.
Furthermore, she sweats a lot at her regular job, and it had become a habit for her to change her underwear and socks between the morning and afternoon shifts.
She had never received a diagnosis or treatment at a medical institution for this problem before, and although she was skeptical about whether acupuncture could make a difference, she still wanted to try the treatment.

Treatment and progress
For the first session, considering the function of the autonomic nervous system, acupuncture treatment was performed on the head, hands, feet, back, and pelvic area.
On the second visit,
"I was able to go through work without changing my underwear."
We received this report. Furthermore, they mentioned that they were able to conduct meetings without worrying as much about sweating as before.
On the fourth occasion,
"Even when wearing slippers, I didn't notice any sweat on the soles of my feet."
They also reported noticing an improvement in the amount of sweating on the soles of their feet.
On the fourth occasion,
"I hardly ever have any problems in my daily life anymore, including with work and hobbies."
According to the patient's assessment, the symptoms had improved to about a 3 out of 10 on a scale of 10.
Since there was virtually no disruption to daily life, and the patient said that they were "no longer bothered by it," we decided to conclude the treatment for the time being.
