Do You Suffer From Sweaty Hands?

By Louise Forrest

If you find that you have sweaty hands that you could have a medical condition that you need to consult your doctor about. It is not often that the hands sweat compared to others areas of the body, but the hands do have six hundred sweat glands, so some sweating from time to time will take place.

One of the problems of having hands that are very sweaty is being reluctant to shake hands with other people due to the embarrassment caused. A person with very sweaty hands will also be afraid to handle anything fragile as they will be scared it could slip out of their hands. There is also the fact that the persons hand print will be all over the place too.

You see you just cannot apply some deodorant to your hands as you can with your armpits, simply because your hands are in constant use and during the day you will visit the toilet which means that your hands are also being washed.

Generally hands that are sweaty is caused by a person being nervous or anxious. Stress can also play a factor and if you have a very stressful job then this will not help matters. The main issue is that of a social issue and this can be very annoying.

When you visit your doctor it is quite likely that he or she will give you some medication to apply. These can be quite effective but as with all medications what works for one person will not always work for another. If after using any medication you are still seeing that you are having sweaty hands then the only real option left is that of surgery.

The word surgery may raise a lot of fear amongst people but the process is actually very simple and is generally quite quick too. The objective of the surgery is to essentially destroy the sweat glands in your hands, and it is quite common for people who have had such a surgery, that their hands are often quite dry and also warm too.

But with surgery being surgery there are risks associated and you should consult your doctor prior to taking such actions and to be fully aware of what other treatments are available. Some other treatments that you should be aware of include putting your hands in tap water and sending in an electrical charge. This is a private treatment and you may acquire multiple sessions before you see any actual gain so this could prove to be quite expensive.

There is also the possibility of having botox in your hands also, but the problem here is that over time the muscles in your hands can become very weak. As mentioned before the best thing to do is to consult your doctor and to be fully aware of all treatments and there implications.

Three Mouseketeers: Warming Mouse, Heated Mouse Pad, Mouse Hand Warmer Blanket

The three mouse-keteers will keep your cold mouse hand cozy and warm. When used separately, the three infrared heated computer accessories serve a purpose, but when used together, they create the perfect mouse hand environment.

The Three Mouse-keteers are:

1. ValueRays® Warm Mouse
2. ValueRays® Heated Mouse Pad
3. ValueRays® Mouse Hand Warmer

To learn more about the ValueRays® Infrared Heated Computer Accessories, visit the manufacturer's website at ValueRays®

For people who have cold hands when using the computer the Mouse Hand Warmer solves the problem. Cold computer hands make it difficult to use the computer mouse and the computer keyboard. And, from time-to-time, with cold hands, a person has to stop working to allow the frigid cold to leave. When poor blood circulation causes hands to become cold there's little to do except stop working, and most of the time that's not a option.

Using the computer with a cold mouse hand causes the fingers to become numb. Some attribute the cold mouse hand to sitting still too long in one position, others believe it's a medical condition causing cold hands. It's important to excercise the hands frequently to keep blood flowing, and for some people exercise is not enough. There are computer gadgets available to provide comfort, support, warmth and heat cost-effectively and energy-efficiently from the computer while you are using the computer.

A Mouse Hand Warmer is a fleece blanket designed to cover the computer mouse hand. It's like a blanket for the mouse hand. The Mouse Hand Warmer is a fleece pouch to hold a warm mouse and heated mouse pad. The Mouse Hand Warmer is available with or without electricity.

The USB Mouse Hand Warmer works like an electric blanket for the hand. Plug the USB cord into an USB port located on the computer and within a few minutes the blanket portion of the Mouse Hand Warmer is warm. The heat generated by the carbon fiber heating element inside the blanket is an infrared heat. Infrared heat penetrates deeply through the skin's layers to the muscle tissue. Infrared heat dialates blood vessels and helps improve blood circulation. To read more about the healing effects of infrared heat, visit http://www.valuerays.com/. The earth-friendly Mouse Hand Warmer blanket pouch uses no electricity. It is made exactly like the USB model, but without electricity.

Both the USB and non-USB Mouse Hand Warmers can be used with or without a mouse pad. The non-slip surface of the Mouse Hand Warmer's base can function as a mouse pad surface. However, when a mouse pad is used, any standard sized mouse pad fits perfectly inside the Mouse Hand Warmer blanket pouch. A ValueRays heated mouse pad fits perfectly inside the Mouse Hand Warmer pouch, and the extra four USB ports on the ValueRays heated mouse pad make it ideal to use for other USB warm gadgets. Plus, the heat generated by the heated mouse pad is insulated inside the blanket pouch creating a soothing warm space for the mouse hand.

Using your favorite computer mouse inside the Mouse Hand Warmer is a must! Just about any size computer mouse fits inside the roomy 12" x 12" Mouse Hand Warmer blanket pouch. A ValueRays warm mouse is the perfect companion to use inside the Mouse Hand Warmer pouch because the heat generated by the warm mouse inside the blanket is insulated creating a perfectly warm mouse hand environment.

The best solution for a cold mouse hand is the combination of the three mouse hand warmer products: Mouse Hand Warmer blanket pouch, ValueRays warm mouse, and ValueRays heated mouse pad. There's no need to use the computer with a cold mouse hand ever again. These three items create the ultimate designer mouse house: Mouse Hand Warmer blanket pouch, ValueRays Warm Mouse and ValueRays Heated Mouse Pad.

If cold computer keyboard hands become a problem, cold keyboard hands respond nicely to warmth, too. The ValueRays heated computer keyboard pad is available online with the other infrared heated computer gadgets at http://www.igmproducts.com/.

Repetitive Strain Injury, Cumulative Trauma Disorder, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Infrared Heat Therapy

Carpal Tunnel Illustrated

Don't laugh, there's a list of new, warm, USB infrared heated computer gadgets available to help prevent the onset of repetitive strain injuries like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. So, instead of causing problems, the computer may actually be helping us! Have you ever heard of a Warm Mouse? or a Heated Mouse Pad? a Heated Keyboard Pad? or a Mouse Hand Warmer? These items provide healing heat to your cold computer hands. It's a proactive approach to the prevention of computer-related hand injury.

Many people suffer from hand and arm injuries due to overusing the computer mouse hand and keyboard hands. It's referred to as Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and Cumulative Trauma Disorder (CTD). The most common form of the condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve running from the arm to the hand gets squeezed near the wrist. The median nerve deals with the palm side of the thumb, most of the fingers and some muscles in the hand. The area called the "carpal tunnel" is a narrow area of ligament and bone at the base of the hand that holds the median nerve and some tendons. When the median nerve gets squeezed, it usually causes pain, tingling, numbness and weakness in the hand, wrist and arm.

The onset of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is gradual. So, taking a proactive approach to this type of condition is the smart thing to do. There are things a person can do to help decrease the chance of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and possibly prevent it altogether.

The most obvious health tips include relaxing the hand's grip on objects like the computer mouse, exercising the hands and arms instead of sitting in the same position for long hours, creating a healthy ergonomic computer work area, sitting properly, holding the arms properly when using computer devices, and keeping the hands using the computer warm.

Keeping the hands warm has always been a challenge until now. There are USB computer mice, mouse pads and keyboard pads creating an energy-efficient and cost-effecive source of infrared heat for our cold computer hands. These items are made using a carbon fiber and they generate a deep penetrating infrared heat. Infrared heat is the same as the natural heat rays from the sun without the harmful UV sun rays. It penetrates deep through the skin's layers into the muscle tissue. And, along the way, the infrared heat dilates blood vessels, removes toxins from the blood cells and improves blood circulation.

Infrared therapy can help prevent the onset of hand injuries and improve hand injury conditions. Heat therapy has been safely used for thousands of years throughout the world and in all walks of life producing postive, measurable results. Studies indicate about 20-30 minutes of infrared heat therapy daily is helpful in preventing and helping hand injuries.

Whenever heat is an approved treatment, infrared heated computer products will help. The warm mouse relaxes the hand muscles and reduces tension and stress. The heated mouse pad creates a warm mouse hand surface for the wrist, fingers and thumb areas. The heated computer keyboard pad provides ergonomic support for the hands over the the keyboard. The warm heat provides a comfortable work pad for hands, wrists and arms.

Carpal Tunnel, and any of the other hand and arm related strain injuries are serious conditions. Being more aware of these conditions and creating an infrared heated, ergonomic, computer work area are the first steps in using the computer wisely.

Hand Arthritis - Finding A Treatment That Works For You

Hand Arthritis causes pain for computer users. Computer users with arthritic hands and painful joints use a ValueRays Heated Mouse. The warm mouse provides infrared heat to penetrate deep through the skin's layers to the muscle tissue. A warm mouse improves blood circulation to the injured area and helps reduce cold hand pain.

from the Ultimate Success Blog

Hand arthritis is the most common form of arthritis that mainly affects the fingers. As in most forms of arthritis the joints become inflamed resulting in pain. Essentially, a joint is made up of two bones that are covered by cartilage and are conjoined together moving smoothly across each other. If this smooth surface becomes damaged or wears out over time, arthritis will result.

Hand arthritis is specifically painful and debilitating due to the fact that hands have nineteen bones and eight small bones that has several small joints. The more common forms of hand arthritis include osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Further causes of hand arthritis might include psoriasis, gout and infection.

Hand osteoarthritis is caused by wear and tear on the hand joints over time resulting in inflammation and pain. Normally it is a result of this wear and tear, however it can also be the result of a specific hand injury. Hand osteoarthritis arthritis generally develops either along the bottom of the thumb, the wrist, the end joint that is closest to the tip of the finger and the middle joint of the finger.

The most common symptoms of hand arthritis are pain, swelling and reduced movement resulting in diminished grip and pinch strength. The doctor or physician will also examine all other joints to help aid the diagnosis of hand arthritis. The doctor can also determine the severity of the hand arthritis by observing the clinical appearance of the hand. Further to this X-rays will be utilized to further identify the severity of hand arthritis by seeking potential bony outgrowths.

There are various treatments and forms of reducing the pain of hand arthritis. Analgesic and Anti-inflammatory medications will normally be the first treatment utilized for hand arthritis. Resting the hand is also crucial in terms of re-habilitating the area- a hand or wrist support may be required to aid this re-habilitation.

Physical therapy for hand arthritis has also proven to be very effective as a treatment option. There are specific exercises, which can help in loosening the stiffened joints caused by the hand arthritis. Steroids can also be injected locally into the affected area, however this is only a form of pain relief, and certainly not a long-term treatment option for hand arthritis.

Surgery is most certainly the last resort as a treatment option for hand arthritis. The doctor or physician will seriously evaluate the patient’s health, age, weight and risks of complications before recommending hand surgery as a viable treatment option for hand arthritis.

Conclusion

Hand arthritis can be an extremely debilitating condition, however with proper diagnosis by your doctor or physician the symptoms can be effectively managed and re-rehabilitation can take place. Like most forms of arthritis early diagnosis is the key to aiding recovery in hand arthritis.

Anti-Aging For the Hands - How to Have Lying Hands

Take care of your hands. Keep your hands healthy and warm. Heated computer mouse, mouse pad and keyboard pad will help keep your hands looking and feeling great!

By Karla Buzzell

I have heard that the hands often give away a woman's age, even if she has a flawless face. I know that I have spent years caring for my face, but did not pay much attention to my hands. Now I am working overtime trying to get them back in shape and looking much younger than I really am.

What are these signs?

• Age spots
• Dry, rough skin
• Cracked, sore or chapped hands
• Wrinkles and loss of elasticity
• Brittle, splitting, ridged, or cracked nails
• Soft "paper thin", fragile, dull nails

Where does one start? Firstly, remember that the sun causes a great deal of the aging on your hands. We protect our faces with sunscreen, but do you put it on the tops of your hands? I bet if you are finally doing so, you did not do this for years. This is the main cause of age spots on your hands. Can anything be done to reverse this? Yes, you can use a good quality hand cream that is specifically made for this purpose, but you must be diligent and use it every day.Our hands loss moisture as we age. Hot water, cleaning products, detergents, sun, cold weather, cold water, household chores and yard work play havoc on our hands and nails. You must treat both your hands and nails, if you want to restore them to their full glory.

Start by protecting your hands from the elements mentioned earlier. A good pair of gloves goes a long way for this. In fact, you may need several pair. Gloves for housework, cold weather, and yard work can help to protect your hands from further harm.

Use hand cream specifically formulated for the conditions of your hands. There are good creams that treat dry, rough hands, chapped and cracked hands and hands that are wrinkled and have lost their elasticity. You may need more than one product, but it will be well worth it!

Your nails need to be carefully manicured, and treated for the aging signs they show. Each of us has different symptoms, but there are quality products available to reverse the aging of your nails and return them to their healthy state.

Remember, your hands did not get in their condition overnight and they will not recover that way either. Be patient and diligent and you too can have hands that are "lying hands."

Here's our story as shown on the IGMproducts.com Start Up Nation home page:

IGMproducts.com specializes in warm computer gadgets for people who suffer with cold hands when they are using the computer. I suffer with cold hands. So, after 15 years of operating an ecommerce business with cold hands, I decided to address the cold mouse hand problem and invented the one & only Mouse Hand Warmer® blanket pouch.

The Mouse Hand Warmer® is made in America, and it's energy efficient. It uses no electricity and is made of a warm, soft fleece fabric to cover and keep your computer mouse hand warm. The Mouse Hand Warmer® was introduced to the market in October 2008. Because the Mouse Hand Warmer® was a novel idea, it received much press and support from the Technology Industry.

Here's the link to the Press Page - http://igmproducts.com/info_pages.php/pages_id/6/press

A few months into the startup process we were approached by a writer who suggested I add multi-functionality to the Mouse Hand Warmer® by creating additional warming computer gadgets and making them available on the website. In January 2009, I launched "ValueRays®" heated computer gadgets. The ValueRays® products are currently being manufactured and will be made available online at IGMproducts.com by mid-March.

from Therapy Gloves
Prolotex™ Full Finger Gloves

Millions of people are having to tolerate the discomfort and anguish caused by the frequent reoccurrence of cold hands. If you are one of these people then you need to read the following. It could change your future!

What’s Causing Your Cold Hands?
Even though, common cold hand symptoms can be caused by numerous kinds of health problems, restricted or obstructed blood flow to the hands is the determining factor.

Everything from regular stress to a hyper reactive condition like Raynaud’s Syndrome can be what’s causing your hands to be cold. So you need to take positive step towards improving your circulation right down to the molecular level of your finger tips.

Yes, that’s right! If you improve the micro-circulation in your hands then you can restore and rejuvenate the little tiny blood vessels and capillaries that are disappearing because of lack of blood flow. If you don’t take action to restore circulation then you can loose these minute but important ducts all together.

Of course, there’s lots of steps you can take to improve the vascular condition of your hands. And I’m sure you're aware of most of them; like changing your diet, exercising more and even practicing relaxation techniques. It’s also suggested you avoid caffeine (I’m afraid this is impossible for me) because it constricts blood vessels.

Help Improve Your Micro-circulation
Do you have cold hands? If so, this may be because of poor micro-circulation, especially if you are indoors and there's no reason for them to be cold. Healthy circulation at the molecular level is important in allowing maximum blood flow to reach your hands.

Prolotex™ far infrared therapy gloves offer you a safe, natural and cost effective way to help restore oxygen enriched blood flow right down to your finger tips. While you wear these incredibly soothing gloves, gentle far infrared rays penetrate deep within the skin and soft tissues of your hands and fingers. Helping to restore vital micro-circulation and deliver fresh oxygen and nutrients right down to your tiniest capillaries.

Are Your Cold Hands Causing You Major Grief & Embarrassment?
Guess what! You get stressed and your hands get cold. Sound strange? Maybe, but there is a scientific reason for this happening.

Cold hands can be a source of mental anguish as well as physical. In fact, it can become a extremely vicious cycle. Stressful circumstances can cause your hands to go cold. Let me explain…

We live in a stressful world. Everyday, our senses are challenged. Stressful situations stimulate our inherent fight or flight response. Also known as the sympathico-adrenal response, it triggers your sympathetic nervous system. This constant firing of sympathetics can predispose the body's muscles into a continuous state of contraction or increased tension. As the blood is shunted from the hands there is a reduced amount of nutrients and oxygen available to feed and rejuvenate the soft tissues in your hands. No wonder soreness develops!

So to help warm the hands, help prevent injury - wear Prolotex™ far infrared gloves as often as you like. The far infrared rays emitted and reflected from these nanotech gloves will help relieve the pain and regenerate the circulation in the restricted areas of your hands.

Cold Hands Restrict Circulation
Cold hands occur fast when blood vessels are constricted or obstructed. This is often due to increased connective tissue tension around the blood vessels, which restricts the passage of blood.

Poor circulation in the hands can be the result of many different occupations and ailments.

Here are just a few:

Coronary heart disease
Raynaud's disease
Fibromyalgia
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Frostbite
White finger
Repetitive stress syndrome
A side-effect of taking certain medication
Toxins
Stress

Cold hands need warmth for Raynaud's Syndrome

Raynaud's causes cold hands and extremeties. Blood vessels constrict and poor circulation becomes painful. Infrared heat is soothing. We specialize in Heated Computer Gadgets. They're not just for the winter!

Ayurvedic Medicine and Naturopathy for Raynaud's Syndrome
by FRANCIS ADAM

Stimulate your circulation. Raynaud's is often anxiety-related, explains Efrem Korngold, O.M.D., L.Ac. "Anxiety leads to constriction in the body, including constriction of the blood vessels in the hands and feet."

To treat Raynaud's, Dr. Korngold often prescribes the herbs pseudoginseng root and sage root, and borneol crystals.

Apply pressure to relieve pain. In a study conducted in Germany, acupuncture helped 33 people with severe Raynaud's who received seven acupuncture treatments just as winter arrived.

If you prefer a self-care approach, try acupressure. Apply steady, penetrating finger pressure to each of the following points for 3 minutes.

Pericardium 6, located in the middle of your inner wrist, 2 1/2 finger-widths above the wrist crease (according to Dr. Korngold, this point is especially effective for Raynaud's that affects the hands)

Liver 3, situated on top of your foot in the webbing between your big toe and second toe (this point is beneficial for Raynaud's that affects the feet, Dr. Korngold says)

Ayurvedic Medicine

Rebalance your Vata. Practitioners of Ayurveda believe that Raynaud's is a Vata disorder, says Scott Gerson, M.D., founder of Ayurvedic Medicine of New York. The Vata dosha governs your circulatory system and regulates the constriction and dilation of your blood vessels.

To treat Raynaud's, Dr. Gerson prescribes a daily regimen of walking, hot baths, meditation, and whole-body massages with warm sesame oil (panchakarma). He also advocates a diet that emphasizes certain foods, such as cherries.

Naturopathy

Turn up the heat. Sitting in a sauna or a tolerably hot bath can help ease your Raynaud's symptoms by increasing your blood circulation, Dr. Mitchell says. While you're in the sauna or bath, massage your hands for a few minutes as an additional way to help promote blood circulation.

Medical Measures

If your Raynaud's causes such intolerable pain that you consult a doctor, you may receive a prescription for drugs called vasodilators, which can open your blood vessels. About two-thirds of people with Raynaud's who take vasodilators report improvement in their symptoms. Like most pharmaceuticals, however, vasodilators may produce side effects.

Red Flags

Many common medications, including over-the-counter decongestants, can constrict your blood vessels. So if you're taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether it could aggravate your Raynaud's symptoms. If so, ask your doctor whether you could take a different drug that doesn't have this effect.

When was the last time you visited Everything Up Close? You need to go there right now and enter a free giveaway for a Mouse Hand Warmer blanket pouch. Read on.....

The Mouse Hand Warmer is great because it can be used with any mouse you already have: corded or wireless. For corded mice, all you need to do is slip the cord through a small slight on the front edge of the blanket. For wireless mice, just slip it in the Mouse Hand Warmer and you are ready to go. Because the front of the blanket is made from a netted material, it won’t interfere with the optical connection from your mouse to your computer. In addition, the Mouse Hand Warmer is big enough to fit any sized mouse easily.
