Jan 15

Something that more than just a few of us have to put up with, almost on a daily basis, is heartburn. It comes on without much warning. Sometimes it is self inflicted but the things we eat and what we do, but other times it’s just hard to put your finger on exactly what cause this latest heartburn episode to come about. There are many things that cause heartburn, or I should say that there are many triggers that cause heartburn.

Heartburn, in itself, is easy to define. It is basically regurgitated gastric acid. That acid, once it is in the esophagus causes the burning pain that you feel. It can also do some serious damage, and if allowed to go on for a long time the damage can be permanent. Although heartburn is heartburn what are the things that cause it? Well there are plenty of them and they vary from person to person. Sometimes it is something like smoking or drinking (alcohol). Other times it is things that you eat, such as fatty foods or dry foods, sweets or coffee. There are about as many different things that can cause heartburn as there are people that have the problem.

Once you know where your heartburn is coming from it becomes much easier to find a heartburn treatment that you can do at home. Sure there are plenty of over the counter drugs that you could take, but as with most things I think that if you are able to cure something naturally you will always be a step ahead. There are plenty of things that people do as a heartburn treatment at home, but most of them only work on certain individuals. Fortunately there are methods out there that not only remove the heartburn that is plaguing you at the moment but they keep it away from you for a lifetime.

The Sweat Stops Here

As many as one in 100 individuals across the UK suffer from severe excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis, according to the clinical paper Boni R. in Kreydon OP, Boni R, Burg G (eds); Hyperhidrosis and Botulinum Toxin in Dermatology.  Many more people suffer from mild or moderate forms of the medical condition.

If you’re one of those unlucky individuals afflicted with the embarrassing condition and are familiar with clammy handshake syndrome or underarm perspiration overload then don’t get in a sweat about it!  Thanks to an established treatment offered by SWEAT BREAKER, specialist in the provision of non-surgical procedures for excessive sweating, help is at hand to wipe out the problem.

Founded by respected consultant surgeon, Mr Adrian Richards, the company is committed to treating excessive sweating in localised areas including armpits, hands, feet, head and face.  The straightforward procedure, in the form of Botox® injections, is highly effective and will keep excessive sweating under control.  The virtually pain free process involves injecting a tiny amount of Botox® solution just under the skin, in approximately ten to 15 different sites, at 1cm intervals, using a very fine needle (the same type of needle that is used for premature babies).  All in all, the treatment takes only 10 minutes, its effects last on average of seven months and results can be expected in a little as three days.

Botox® treatment has been used successfully for over 20 years and is backed by extensive clinical trials, with over 1400 medical research papers showing it to be safe.  The treatment, which is administered by a highly trained medical practitioner, works by blocking the action of nerves that supply the eccrine glands, preventing them from producing sweat.

Prior to the treatment, a dedicated team of highly trained staff will talk you through the procedure whilst a medical practitioner will assess you in order to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.

“Hyperhidrosis is a genetic condition which blights many people’s lives and often has a profound effect on self esteem and confidence levels,” commented Mr Adrian Richards, MSc, FRCS (Plas) Consultant Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon.  “Traditionally, the only solutions available for excessive sweating have included strong antiperspirant deodorants, topical applications of aluminium chloride and, in severe cases, invasive and extensive surgery such as curettage involving scraping out the eccrine glands – a mutilating, potentially dangerous and incredibly painful procedure with varying results.  I am delighted to be in a position to offer sufferers a simple, safe, effective and proven non-surgical procedure that will eradicate the problems for months at a time.”

Like it or not, we all have to sweat in order to maintain a regular body temperature. If your body is too hot, blood vessels dilate to let more blood reach the skin, where the blood cools.  Then sweat glands produce more sweat, and that evaporates to cool the skin.  But for many people, sweating doesn’t just occur when the body overheats.  Exercise, stressful situations, anxiety, even alcohol, or spicy food can trigger hyperhidrosis.  In extreme cases, excessive sweating can occur regardless of an individual’s situation or state-of-mind.  What’s more, concern over the condition breeds sweating.

So in future, don’t work yourself up into a sweat about it.  Opt for SWEAT BREAKER’s tried and tested treatment for lasting results.
