Sweat allergy is defined as a type I hypersensitivity against the contents of sweat. Some people experience itchiness, redness and even hive from sweating. Cholinergic Urticaria is the most common type of allergic manifestation triggered by sweat. It occurs as rashes when the body gets very much warm and sweats. Cholinergic Urticaria is also known as cholinergic angioedema or heat bumps. It usually appears quickly and gets cleared easily. Rarely, it may result in life-threatening allergic reactions.

Dr. Gupta’s IAFA is a renowned Ayurvedic institution dedicated in the management of various allergic diseases. IAFA is offering good Ayurvedic management for discomforts caused by sweat allergy.
Causes of Sweat Allergy
The primary reason for Cholinergic Urticaria is an increase in body temperature. The nerve fibers in the sweat glands are responsible for it. When the body temperature rises skin reacts to heat and sweat. Other factors leading to this condition are:
- Sweating by exercise
- Bathing in hot water
- Exposure to hot climate
- Wearing tight garments
- Stress and anxiety
- Eating hot and spicy food
In Ayurveda, sweat allergy is caused by various conditions where the body produces excessive sweat.
