What Is Sweaty Hands and Feet Supplement?
Sweaty Hands and Feet Supplement is a traditional Chinese herbal formula designed to support healthy perspiration, help maintain dry and comfortable hands and feet, promote healthy fluid metabolism, support Spleen function, and encourage overall balance and wellness.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), excessive sweating of the palms, soles of the feet, forehead, or underarms is often associated with weakened Spleen Qi, impaired fluid metabolism, dampness accumulation, and an inability of the body to properly regulate moisture. The Spleen plays a central role in transforming and transporting fluids throughout the body. When Spleen function becomes weakened, dampness may accumulate and contribute to excessive sweating, clammy skin, fatigue, digestive weakness, and a feeling of heaviness.
Individuals experiencing excessive sweating may notice wet or clammy palms, sweaty feet, perspiration during minimal activity, embarrassment during handshakes, difficulty gripping objects, damp socks or footwear, low appetite, bloating, chest tightness, fatigue, or digestive discomfort. Symptoms may become more noticeable during periods of stress, overexertion, physical activity, or digestive imbalance.
Sweaty Hands and Feet Supplement is based on traditional Chinese herbal principles and contains carefully selected herbs traditionally used to strengthen Spleen Qi, support healthy fluid metabolism, clear excess dampness, regulate Qi circulation, and promote the body's natural ability to maintain balanced perspiration. This formula is commonly chosen by individuals seeking support for sweaty hands, sweaty feet, excessive perspiration, clammy palms, hyperhidrosis-related symptoms, digestive weakness, and overall comfort and confidence.*

Sweating with Minimal Activity
Perspiration may occur during light physical activity, walking, household chores, or other routine activities that would not normally trigger significant sweating in others.
Low Appetite
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, excessive sweating patterns may be associated with weakened digestive function. Individuals may experience poor appetite, reduced interest in food, early fullness, or difficulty eating normal meal portions.
Chest Tightness or a Feeling of Fullness
Some individuals experience sensations of chest fullness, mild chest tightness, heaviness, or discomfort that may be associated with dampness accumulation and impaired Qi movement according to Traditional Chinese herbal principles.
Bloating After Meals
Digestive weakness may contribute to abdominal bloating, fullness after eating, sluggish digestion, or discomfort following meals, particularly after consuming rich, greasy, cold, or damp-producing foods.
Fatigue and Low Energy
Individuals may experience tiredness, low stamina, reduced vitality, sluggishness, or difficulty maintaining energy throughout the day. Symptoms often occur alongside digestive weakness and excessive perspiration.
A Heavy Sensation in the Body or Limbs
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, dampness may contribute to feelings of heaviness, sluggishness, lethargy, or reduced physical comfort. Individuals may feel weighed down or less energetic than usual.
Symptoms That Tend to Worsen During Humid Weather
Some individuals notice increased sweating, heaviness, fatigue, or digestive discomfort during humid weather, rainy conditions, seasonal transitions, or environments with increased moisture.
Individuals with more complex, chronic, recurring, or long-standing excessive sweating patterns may benefit from combining this formula with additional herbal support to address underlying imbalances and promote stronger digestive function, healthy fluid regulation, and long-term comfort over time.
Diet and Lifestyle Tips for Sweaty Hands and Feet
According to traditional Chinese herbal principles, excessive sweating of the hands, feet, forehead, or underarms is often associated with weakened digestive function, Spleen Qi deficiency, Dampness accumulation, and imbalances in the body's ability to regulate fluids. Daily habits that support healthy digestion and fluid metabolism may help promote long-term comfort and balance.
For best results:
- Eat regular, balanced meals on a consistent schedule
- Prioritize warm, freshly prepared foods over excessive cold or raw foods
- Maintain an active lifestyle with regular exercise, walking, Tai Chi, Qigong, or other forms of movement
- Manage stress through relaxation, meditation, breathing exercises, or other healthy practices
- Get adequate sleep and maintain a consistent sleep routine
- Stay well hydrated throughout the day
- Wear breathable clothing and footwear when possible
- Allow adequate time for rest and recovery during periods of physical or emotional stress
To support healthy fluid balance, it is recommended to limit:
- Excess sugar and sugary beverages
- Greasy, fried, or heavily processed foods
- Excess dairy products
- Excess alcohol consumption
- Smoking and tobacco products
- Excessive cold foods and iced beverages
- Overeating and irregular meal schedules
Foods traditionally considered supportive for digestive health and fluid metabolism include warm soups, cooked vegetables, rice, millet, sweet potatoes, squash, mushrooms, dates, and other nourishing foods that support Spleen Qi and overall vitality.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, healthy digestion plays an important role in fluid regulation because the Spleen helps transform and transport fluids throughout the body. When digestive function becomes weakened, Dampness may accumulate and contribute to excessive sweating and imbalance.
Consistent nutrition, healthy digestion, regular exercise, stress management, and adequate rest are important foundations for supporting healthy sweating patterns, fluid balance, and long-term wellness.

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, excessive sweating of the hands and feet is often associated with Dampness accumulation, weakened Spleen function, and disruption of the body's ability to properly transform and transport fluids. When Dampness is reduced and Spleen function is supported, the body is traditionally believed to maintain better moisture balance, comfort, and overall well-being.

Ann's Story
Here's my story.
If you feel skeptical or unsure of Chinese herbal remedies, I could hardly blame you. I wasn't a believer either until my daughter grew very sick and my father (the 4th generation herbalist) helped her get better with herbs.
I was born into a family of herbalists. My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, great-great grandfather were all herbalists. I represent the 5th generation in this long lineage dating back to Imperial China.
When I was three or four years old, I started to learn herbal songs and how to identify herbs. As I got older, I was taught how to process the herbs while working in my dad’s clinic in Vietnam. After we immigrated to the United States, my dad asked me if I wanted to pursue a career in TCM as an herbalist or acupuncturist. I said, “No, just leave me alone, Dad. I will find something I enjoy doing for work.” So, he left me alone to find my own way.
I wanted nothing to do with herbal medicine until I gave birth to my second daughter, Catherine, who was born with severe gastric reflux. When Catherine was 10 days old, I had to take her to the ER for IV injections into her little hand because she couldn’t keep milk down. Besides vomiting, she also was having diarrhea. Catherine was losing nutrition from both ends, so her tiny body was shrinking. At that time my dad warned me, “She needs to be treated with herbal medicine, otherwise she will have seizures later on.” I didn’t fully understand what my dad was talking about, so I ignored him.
My daughter got so ill that she could only take half an ounce of milk per hour. Before feeding her, I would use a syringe and shoot Zantac into her mouth to lessen the vomiting. As time passed, she needed milk more often, and consequently more Zantac. By the time Catherine was 8 months old, she needed to be fed and medicated 11 times a day.
I could hardly sleep, eat, shower or rest. Even at night, I had to drape my daughter over my shoulder for her to sleep. If I put Catherine down, she would vomit. I barely had time to squeeze in a 5-minute shower once or twice a week for myself. I was exhausted, but what could I do? I had to care for my daughter and do my best to survive each day with the hope that she would get better or at the very least her condition would not worsen.
Catherine had to wear a turtleneck with two sweaters along with a baby cap and scarf to be outside during the heat of summer, even when temperatures were 100 plus degrees. If I didn’t cover her up, she would have a runny nose, cough, and non stop vomiting. How will she be able to go to school or anywhere with air conditioning?
One day we went to a Vietnamese pho restaurant. After I set Catherine down into the high-chair, I turned around and adjusted my chair. Then I heard a woman’s shout, “Look at her!” I looked in the direction she pointed. It was Catherine…her eyes rolled up and her entire body stiff and shaking with fluid coming out of her mouth. Someone said, “Squeeze some lemon into her mouth.” I did it without hesitating and Catherine’s body relaxed.
We rushed her to the ER. For 3 days she was in the NICU where they monitored her brain. The doctors told me I was lucky because my daughter’s seizure didn’t last for more than 3 minutes which would have damaged her brain. After that I always carried a piece of lemon because I had no idea when my baby girl might have another seizure.
The seizures started to come weekly, so the doctor prescribed anti-seizure medication. Catherine wasn’t even 1 year of age, and already she was taking Zantac 11 times plus anti-seizure medicine 3 times a day. It was nearly impossible to administer the anti-seizure medicine because whenever I took out the syringe, she would cry and start vomiting.
I took Catherine to see a specialist at CHOC. I asked, “Doctor, have you ever seen any infant with this condition get well?” The doctor replied, “It depends. Some will grow out of it, but some don’t. If they don’t, then they will have to take medication for the rest of their life.”
“What do you mean by grow out of it?” The doctor explained that Catherine might get better by herself as she got older.
My mind was racing. “All this time the prescribed medication has not been treating her stomach?” The doctor said, “No, it only helps to guide the food down, so she won’t vomit it back up. That’s why you have to give it to her before the feeding.”
“Well, what if she doesn’t grow out of it?” In that case, Catherine will be dependent upon medication for the rest of her life. The doctor further informed me that she too was born with gastro reflux and is still taking medicine for the condition.
Her statement was like lightning in my brain. If the doctor can’t even treat herself for gastro reflux, how can she help my daughter? Seeing the futility of my path, I turned to my dad for help.
My dad advised me to stop all western drugs and to give her an herbal prescription 3 times a day. Administering medicine 3 times instead of 14 times a day to Catherine was a godsend to me. Even though it sounded too good to be true, I figured that I could still give Zantac to Catherine if she didn’t get better or continued to vomit.
After one month of herbs 3 times a day, Catherine vomited less and less. To test Catherine, I let her cry to see if she would vomit. She didn’t, so I knew she was getting better. After another month of herbal medicine, Catherine was able to wear less clothing without getting a runny nose, coughing, or vomiting. After 3 months of herbal formulas, she stopped having episodes of gastro reflux and seizure. Catherine will enjoy a normal, healthy life.
Because of Catherine’s dramatic recovery, I was sold on Chinese medicine and asked my dad to treat me. I fainted very easily, especially during the winter. After a few months of herbal formulas, I have never fainted again.
I started to have time to think and tried to understand why a piece of lemon helps to relax the muscles and stop a seizure. Lemon is a common citrus, yet it has magical powers that we don’t understand and underestimate. I wanted to learn more and find answers, so I decided to go to China which has a long history of herbal medicine. I went to TCM schools in China and Hong Kong and worked in the TCM hospitals to learn from the best herbal doctors in the world.
When I was there, I knew one day I would want to become an herbalist, but how can I get a steady supply of high-quality herbs. My dad and I backpacked across China and visited many farmlands. We interviewed farmers to grow herbs for us. Our products are used with the highest quality herbs that have been harvested at the height of their potency. They are substantially more expensive than less potent herbs that were harvested in the pre- or post-season.
After I came back to the United State, I worked with my dad and learned from his experiences and studied the formulas that our ancestors passed down. What I have been through helped me to understand the importance of health. Without health, don’t even talk about career, beauty, education, freedom, etc. I now have worked with many families who have suffered as I have. Their endearing appreciation drives me to work harder.
Our namesake "Silkie" is a Chinese breed of chicken that is well known for its calm and friendly temperament. They are gentle and caring and make wonderful mothers. A Silkie loves nothing more than brooding a cluster of eggs, whether they are hers or not, even if they are "duck eggs". We share the same outlook and care for our clients the same way we care for our own family.
