'''Different types of sweating:'''
1. Insensible sweating: which occurs even in cold climate amounts to 600 – 800 ml daily.
Emotional sweating: In emotional condition, sweating occurs chiefly in the palms, soles, and axilla and upto some extent it is also present at head, neck and elsewhere in the body.
2. Thermal sweating: This occurs in hot environmental temperature, the threshold being 28°C for men and 31˚C for women. As the environmental temperature rises sweating increases. It is to be emphasized that when the ambient temperature is higher than body temperature sweating is the only method of keeping the body temperature normal.
3. Psychic sweating:-
Emotional sweating: In emotional condition, sweating occurs chiefly in the palms, soles, and axilla and upto some extent it is also present at head, neck and elsewhere in the body.
In muscular exercise: The sweating i.e. both thermal and mental is reduced by cold, which at the same time also reduces, cutaneous circulation. It is also reduced by dehydration which be the result of deprivation of fluids intake or due to the process of sweating itself.

Hot & spicy food intake: Eating of spicy food stimulates sweating (gustatory sweating), because pain in nerve endings in the mouth are stimulated. Hence reflect sweating in forehead neck and face.
