Excessive Perspiration
Sweating can occur for many reasons such as fever, general debilitation, stress and tension. In some cases
HealthPoint can be a useful treatment.
Fainting Attacks
Fainting is a common problem. A true faint occurs when the blood supply to the brain suddenly drops.
Common causes are hunger, exhaustion, emotional upsets, severe pain, hot and stuffy environments. If
fainting attacks occur regularly then a medical opinion should be sought.
Fever
Fever is an oral temperature of 100 F (38 C) of higher and usually it is a sign that the body is fighting an
infection. Overheating, reaction to immunizations, medications or injuries can also cause a fever.
HealthPoint offers a symptomatic approach to fever but the cause must also be
treated. This may involve a course of antibiotics if a bacterial infection is present.
Fluid Retention
Fluid retention, also known as Edema, causes abnormal swelling that can occur anywhere in the body but
frequently affects the hands, ankles, and feet. This may arise for many reasons. In women it is often due to
hormonal unbalance. In some cases it can be due to heart failure, particularly in elderly people. In these cases
therefore a proper diagnosis is necessary.
HealthPoint can be useful in treating some cases of fluid retention.
