Since I do not know your age, menopause is quite commonly cause excessive sweating, so taking a simple 1200 I.U. of vitamin E should relieve that, plus some magnesium citrate.
I have seen sweating profusely on taking too much potassium rich foods, so a simple cure for potassium caused excessive sweating is one teaspoon of sea salt. It goes away in minutes. For certain other poisons, such as sodium nitrite, this may not be so easy, but the source of toxins comes from eating cured meats, so taking potassium supplements should displace the sodium nitrite out of your body.
A much simpler way without considering all possible causes is to simply buy electrolyte salts or sports drink and take that. Sometimes cold sweat can be relieved by taking aspirin if the cause of your sweating condition is one of diabetic issues (sugar problems). If it is sugar related, a simple solution is to avoid fastfood and eating all kinds of fried foods after 4.00 p.m. Much of it has to do with trans-fatty acid and toxins from vegetable oils reactions with sugar and starches which is quite toxic to the liver, and therefore your body sweat.
Taking magnesium citrate and taking sports drink (electrolyte salts) should be tried first, as it has all the salts the body needs to get homeostasis and should reduce the sweat, if not, it may be hormonal imbalances so vitamin E and licorice extract should do.
Could not possibly cover all possible causes, but these are the ones I see most often. Ted
