    Hidrex machine

    Wheatgrass for hyperhidrosis?

    I recently read that wheat grass could prevent hyperhidrosis. Has anyone tried wheat grass and had success with it? I am thinking about adding it to my blog as a natural remedy, but I normally only put remedies that I have already tried so I was wondering if it worked for anyone else.
