Case example

A middle-aged woman who had suffered from severe hand and foot perspiration since her early childhood, so that she often retreated socially and felt almost handicapped at work and in many household chores, had throughout her life sought help to get rid of this scourge. She started with the lemon hand and foot baths in winter (3 times a week) over two weeks. During this treatment, her hands and feet became warm, the sweat decreased significantly and her swelling fingers, which were very annoying during the hot season, clearly ceased swelling. A repetition of 3 baths after approx. 8 weeks renewed the effect. This lasted for many weeks.
In the hot season she needed the baths daily.
