  • Red flags to see your doctor- if accompanied by fever, weight loss, pounding heartbeat, tremor, night sweats soaking sheets, painful nodules/boils.


Why the glute area specifically?

  • High density sweat glands + pressure/heat from sitting + tight/synthetic fabrics.

  • Small wins can be achieved by dehumidifier, fan under desk, breathable seat cushion or mashed chairs


    Ayurvedic view:

    This area corresponds to Pitta and Vata imbalance — excess heat (Pitta) with poor air circulation (Vata). The result is warmth, irritation, and sometimes a burning or prickly sensation.

  • Powder layer: Cornstarch/arrowroot after shower. More specific and natural will be fullers earth 20 percent along with sandal wood powder to keep area dry. 

  • Seat hacks: Mesh cushion, short standing breaks every 45–60 min. 


Natural & dietary support?

  • Trim triggers: caffeine, alcohol, very spicy food, very hot drinks. Any kind of Pitta increasing food or drinks.

  • Hydration + electrolytes: Add water with a pinch of salt + lemon on humid days.

  • Add-ins: 1–2 Tbsp ground flax; 2 fish meals/week; whole-soy options.

  • After bath, dust with a mix of Fuller’s Earth (20%) + Sandalwood powder (80%) for a natural, cooling dryness.


Stress makes me sweat—any quick calmer?

What if nothing works?

  • Topical anticholinergics.

  • Oral options.

  • Botox for localized areas; lasts months.

  • Options with hormones, herbs and other medicines after consulting your doctor. 


Exactly what should I do this week?
