Pregnancy AND hyper active sweat glands

Good day Dr. I have always suffered from hyper sweaty hands AND feet, AND over the past few years have been using an electronic device named "Drionic" which sends electrical pulses which empty the glands AND prevent the sweat. It was very effective AND helpful up until the past few months, when I got pregnant. I am now 6.5 months pregnant, AND the sweating became worse then ever. My hands AND feet sweal so badly that it hearts. My dula recommended Ocupuncture, AND I am writing to ask if you think this method is safe for pregnancy, if you think it will be effective AND if you have any other recommendations. I thank you in adavnce for your time AND help AND look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely Lilach (New York

Hi Lilach First, congratulation for your pregnancy. sweating in the 4 palms is a well known syndrom in chinese medicine. the reason for chronic sweating in weman at your age is either deficiency of energy (as if you tired OR getting easly ill) OR heat in the "heart" (suffering from insomnia, palpitaion, bladder infection etc.). i would reccomend you use acupucnture OR chinese herbs - it extremly safe, espesialy for pregnant weman. for more info about safe acupuncture: http://www.acupain.info/61902/מידע-מקצועי-למטפלים i'm checking for an acupuncturist in NY for you. please contact me again next in about 3-4 days. take care moti
