        Oh yes, that's great! I don't use it regularly on my feet, but we always keep a bottle in the house. It has many uses, pretty much a little miracle worker.
        For example, check this out: 20 Great uses to Tea Tree Oil

        Elena are you having any success with it? How often do you apply it? I take it about twice a month, mostly for its antifungal properties.

        From what I understand, it works like this: some people reach the point where they are so desperate and unhappy about their excessive sweating, that anything else seems like a better option. I'm talking sheer desperation here… :/

        So, despite all warnings, all bad testimonials, all horror stories and proven side effects, they are thinking “anything but this now it fine!”

        And so they have ETS. And then, many of them regret it. 🙁

        Thankfully I'm not talking from a personal experience, but some of my online buddies have this situation. 🙁
        I think ETS is illegal in some parts of the world – that tells you a lot… Yep, definitely controversial.

        In the end I opted for a Digital Fischer Galvanic Unit. So far I am happy with my choice. MD-2 looks really good, precise and is easily programmable. 🙂
        The first treatments went ok, but I am still waiting for full results to show. I will switch over to maintenance treatments probably in about 10 days or something like that. Wish me luck!

        How does this pain compare to post-Botox procedure pain? I thought Botox pain also lasts for weeks. I'm pretty sure I have read something along this line – especially when it comes to underarms, a very sensitive area.

        To me it looks like miraDry's pain isn't all that unusual. And you only have to go through it once! To me it seems healthier & in the long run less painful than Botox.

        Sorry to hear your daughter got hyperhidrosis at such young age. Must have been difficult.
        As for the rest of your post – wow, that sounds pretty great! I would like to get a Hidrex machine to stop excessive sweating on my feet, and it seems that PSP 1000 is a versatile thingy that can deal with this quite nicely. 🙂 I'm glad to hear they ship Hidrex machines so fast – I'd expect a longer delivery time. (Since I'm impatient, this means a lot to me lol.)

        Well, yeah, as the name says, absorbent flip-flops absorb sweat, helping your sweaty feet to dry off faster than usual. They won't neutralize excessive sweating, but they shouldn't be slippery either. 😉 And flip-flops are a good choice for this time of year. I hope you'll find a perfect and affordable pair for yourself. 🙂

        I know some people who sweat profusely, but I couldn't say if they actually have hyperhidrosis. Well, either way, we don't hang out and we never talked about excessive perspiration… So I suppose my answer to this thread would be: no.

        In real life, people don't like talking about this, so I'm not surprised we all feel isolated and alone. A pity, cause I'd love hearing tips on how to not sweat, etc.

        My doctor currently doesn't have an Iontophoresis machine so I'm in the process of looking for a place where I could rent one, or just try several treatments and see how effective Iontophoresis is for my plantar hyperhidrosis.

        It seems to be one of a good hyperhidrosis cure for many who tried it, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. With some luck, I will have my first treatment soon. 🙂

        Ahem, sorry to ruin the mood, but I must and say that my sweaty feet got worse over the years. However, I am also out of shape at the moment, so that is a possible reason. Also, it depends on the shoes and sneakers I wear.

        My night sweating also got worse – but once again, I'm blaming that on all the extra weight I'm packing. 😕

        I am interested in a Botox hyperhidrosis treatment for my feet, but from what I have read, this is not usually used to treat plantar hyperhidrosis. It can be done, but takes a lot of Botox units and injections – making it costly, right?
        As for bad side effects, I guess if actors can stuff their faces with it, it is okay to use it on feet as well. Would really love to get rid of sweaty feet for a few months!

        Condemned? Would sooner say that people simply tend to run away from things they find uncomfortable – such as odor. And excessive sweating always makes people think of nasty odors. They don't like it, so they mock heavy sweating – any sweating, really – and look down on it. I think it all boils down to a simple human reaction.
