Can stress, anxiety and low mood cause excessive sweating and night sweats?

Excessive sweating can indeed be caused by anxiety and stress, mainly because the hormone adrenaline which is triggered in the fight or flight response can also cause stress sweats.

There are however, a wide variety of other causes of night sweats such as menopause, hormonal disorders, thyroid problems, low blood sugar, alcohol or caffeine consumption and other health issues.  

If this is regular or continuous problem it should be checked with a doctor so the cause can be ascertained and then treated appropriately.

The herb Sage has traditionally been used for many years to treat excessive sweating and night sweats in both men and women.  It can be used as a natural treatment once the cause has been diagnosed by a healthcare practitioner.
