Is excessive sweating affecting your life?
If you feel that you are sweating too much, there are dozens of simple, inexpensive, natural ways to stop excessive sweating and actually improve the smell of your body odor, all free and natural. That's right. No need going for expensive sweating treatments.
Are you one of those people who can’t stay dry? Do you feel embarrassed because of sopping wet armpits and stained under-shirts? Unless you’re deep in the pleasures of hot wild passion, or doing intense physical exercises or you’re on the brink of winning a marathon, excessive sweating is nothing to go raving about. Just think of how awkward if feels when that simple handshake at a formal business meeting gets all too clammy. Nothing could be more nightmarish than when you are in a crowded elevator. If that isn’t bad enough, how about turning down dates, dances and parties, living in constant fear wondering whether you smell bad or not. Excessive body sweating may lead to low self-esteem and confidence. To make matters worse, out of self-pity and frustration victims tend to shy away from social events to avoid embarrassment. Sometimes it gets so depressing when people think of you as not hygienic or healthy when it’s no fault of your own.
This condition is referred to as Hyperhidrosis. It affects about 1% of all population and mainly targets the palms or soles of the feet. It occurs when the Sympathetic Nervous System gets overactive and creates more sweat than needed.
If you think it’s a serious problem, it would be best to see a doctor. It gets even more confusing because the market is flooded with so many fake remedies and antiperspirants. Learn how to stop excessive body sweating, naturally with these useful tips. You can save yourself all this trouble with these simple, natural, free home treatments to prevent sweating:
1. Drink a lot of water – hydration keeps body temperatures low and therefore less sweat will be produced. Water is vital to life. It effectively flushes out excess minerals and pushes out all toxins and waste products. The experts recommend six to eight glasses of water everyday.
2. Stay Calm – stress and nervousness instantly triggers the sweat glands.
3. Cut down your caffeine intake – caffeine tends to cause anxiety which in return triggers the body to excessive sweating.
4. Acupuncture – this simple ancient technique works like gangbusters. It simply targets certain body parts to balance energy and also relax the brain by controlling the hypothalamus which goes down to reduce sweat.
5. Yoga – one of the best natural ways to control excessive sweating. This works through meditation, calming down the nerves and subsequently lessening sweat production. Since Yoga teaches proper breathing, it works well especially when one is stressed or uneasy.
6. Avoid using deodorant or soap – this may come as a surprise but unknown to most people, the effects of deodorants or soaps not compatible with your body will do you more harm than good. They cause more bacteria to build up on the skin, which end up setting foul odor. That’s why it’s important to choose a deodorant or soap that suits your body.
7. Take a cold shower – Ok, you won’t like this. In spite of the uncomfortable effects of a cold shower, it surely works wonders. While you are at it, try using an antibacterial soap to ensure the body is clean and odor-free.
8. Avoid taking hot baths – while baths may be useful in eliminating toxins through increased body temperature, problems of excessive sweating outweigh their benefits.
9. Drink tomato juice – To be honest, I love this and I know it helps. The extra vitamins and nutrients come in mighty handy.
10. Avoid Hot drinks – when it comes to excessive sweating, these are your worst enemies, and that includes hot coffee too. Imagine the effect they give if you are just about to go for an important meeting or make a presentation. So why not try going for juice, lemonade or iced-beverages to regulate your temperature.
11. Drink sage tea – Taking these herbs two to four times a day keeps the body functioning well as well regulating sweat production.
12. Boil tea bags then soak your hands and feet in them! – A useful but rather questionable home made remedy to control excessive armpit sweating.
13. Rub the armpits with wool pads soaked in a mixture of baking soda and lemon juice
14. Avoid alcohol, cigarettes and drugs – An absolute no-brainer. These chemicals make it harder for the body to control sweating because they cause a delay in blood circulation.
15. Avoid sugary, spicy and chemically-processed foods – You are what you eat. Spicy foods may be delightful, tasty and healthy, but they make your body sweat more frequently in short time periods. Large intake of chemical toxins will aggravate sweating. The same goes for high fructose syrup used by some manufactures to sweeten food. It gets even worse especially for overweight people. Any of those instant, pre-made, packaged, frozen, greasy, ready-to-eat and fast foods are an absolute no no.
16. Eat the “right” foods – Fewer complex B vitamins in your body means it cannot allow for an efficient absorption of nutrients and proper break down of toxins and body waste. So this means a strained body which leads to more sweat. So what foods should you take?
- a. Whole grains – great sources of B Vitamins and fiber.
- b. Fresh Fruits – whatever your preference, they should form a crucial component in your daily regimen. Any will do from cherries, peaches, watermelons, apples, oranges, plums. The list is endless. You could try taking a fruit salad for breakfast or in between meals.
- c. Vegetables – If you don’t have a liking for salads, veggies are excellent too as they are rich in B Vitamins.
- d. Proteins – I’m talking Fish, eggs and moderate amounts of red meat. As for vegetarians, beans will do. If you can, avoid deep-fried foods like the plague.
17. Some cold water for the road – there’s no better cold drink than water especially on a hot day. Cold water is essential to reduce stress, regulate body temperature and keep those sweat glands under control.
18. Shave those underarms and groin areas – this is one of the most effective natural methods to overcoming excessive sweating. The reason is simple. Accumulation of sweat tends to occur around the hairs. As a result bacteria will soon start feeding on them with great vigor. In no time, the underarms will emit an unpleasant odor owing to the toxins discharged by the bacteria.
19. Avoid nylons and polyesters. Wear natural fibers – Cotton and wool are preferable in making the skin “breathe”. They provide ample space around the armpit area which allow for evaporation and free flow of air.
20. Wear loose fitting clothes – If your clothing is too tight, you are depriving your skin enough air to circulate around it. This increases sweating and triggers the sweat glands to produce more. During extreme hot conditions, it’s a good idea to keep your collar open or simply wear light clothes like a T-shirt and pants.
21. Carry an extra shirt – Be smart and keep a change of clothes if possible, particularly during hot days.
22. Wear undershirts – High quality undershirts made of cotton or just a T-shirt help absorb body sweat and make it evaporate fast.
23. Starch your shirts – Starching prevents the shirts from sticking to your body, which in turn keeps the body cool because the space inside allows for circulation of air.
24. Keep your head cool – when exposed to the sun for long periods of time, a hat and shades will come in handy. Sunglasses help protect your eyes from extreme bright conditions and harmful ultraviolet rays. Opt for sunglasses with polarized lenses and reflective coating. A hat protects the head from heating and sunstroke.
25. Wear socks – socks help keep the feet cooler, by absorbing feet perspiration and faster evaporation.
26. Lose some weight – It’s a fact that 90% of people facing problems arising from excess sweating are overweight. Cutting down on that extra weight drastically increases your chances of dealing with excess body sweat.
27. Use the bathroom – The bathroom is a good place to make some last minute preparations. You can change clothes, apply deodorant or simply clean up excess sweat using cold water.
28. Don’t Exercise before important events – Exercise is good for the body and an important routine for healthy living. However, an intense workout increases your body temperature and that means more sweat. If you really must exercise, keep your stress levels low to reduce excess sweating. And when you’re done, go to tip number 7 :-)
29. Keep your cool in air-conditioned places – When you are traveling or just walking, make periodic stops at a few air-conditioned places to control your body temperature.
30. Arrive Early – Avoid getting into a rush to work, important appointments, meetings or even that dinner date! Make it a habit to always leave early. By arriving well in time your stress and anxiety levels are low. Moreover, your exercise level is reduced and the extra time will help you cool down. You could even use the free time to drink cold water.
31. No Deodorant, No Problem – Check into a pharmacy and look for a product with aluminium chloride as its active ingredient. This helps in reducing excess sweating by blocking the sweat pores.
32. Don’t Give up searching – sometimes, the causes of excessive sweating may be caused by hereditary factors, puberty or hormonal imbalances. As a result, the tips listed above may not help much. Fortunately, doctors are now able to assist patients suffering from Hyperhidrosis. With the advancement of science today, there are treatments for the disorder. These include surgeries, iontophpresis, Botox and even topical antiperspirants. An effective way to heal the problem is Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy (ETS). There are many more ways to help stop excessive sweating. Consult with your doctor for more assistance.
Sweating is a natural process, but it be dreadful if it goes out of hand. You can take comfort that you are not alone. Though various treatments are available, the natural methods of preventing excessive body sweating which are inexpensive and easier to implement.
At 32 tips and counting, and we are just warming up! No need to keep worrying. You can now gain your freedom and start living, enjoying life without dreading the warm days.

Very helpful! Losing some weight is now first on the list...

I have had hyperhidrosis for almost 4 years now. I'm a sophomore in high school, & I can never wear colored shirts. In fact, I'm too embaressed to wear even white or black shirts without a fleece jacket over the top. I'm so scared to have boyfriends, go on dates, go to parties, do sports, anything like that. Having this issue is so much harder than it seems..I have tried dozens of deoderants including prescriptions. Also, I read the book, "Stop Sweating, Start Living" and that DID NOT work for me at all. I'm hoping all of these tips will work well for me. High school has not been a fun experience at all because of things I cannot do. Thank you for these ideas, I'll try them & maybe get back to you (:
I hope this works especially now that summer is fast approaching.
thanks brother, i m very thankfull to you, i m also involve this case,
Responding to Alex above, im a sophomore also, and I have the same exact problem. I feel like I cant go anywhere or do anything and I also am scared to have boyfriends because my palms sweat and i'm afraid of what they'd think. I hardly ever wear colored shirts, usually go with something dark, and I always wear sweatshirts. So in the summer its difficult and i feel like i can't wear anything touching my armpits. plus i have to deal with blushing on my face and blotchy red on my chest, so I can't wear anything that low cut. I remember people commenting in church about my sweaty hands, when i was in first grade. I have no extra weight to loose and I feel like there is no hope. It seems to get worse every tear. I dont even like talking to my mom about it. i hope somthing helps.
WOW what a list, thanks for sharing this. I'm going to link to this hub from my blog. I think it is something my readers will find very interesting
I suffer from excessive sweating:s
I also sweat if I get nervous! Which is the worst.
I also go to a school with uniforms, which sucks cause if I have a sweat stain the only thing I can do is try and wash it out.
I hope this helps though!
Thankyou so much!
I had a very bad sweating problem all my life. I went from doctor to doctor to try and find cures. Two things have really helped me. The first I believe was called Drysol Lock. You rub it on your underarms at night and after a while you don't sweat anymore. It burns a little, but my under arms hardly sweat anymore and I used to sweat though my shirts minutes after putting them on. The second thing has changed my life. It is called Tenex. I started on 1mg, then 2mg, and now I am on 3 mg. I think 3mg is as high as you can go. My body over the years has built up a tolerance for it and it does not work as well as it first did, but it still works pretty well. In college I would avoid parties and all social situations because I would sweat even if it was the middle of winter. On Tenex the only time I sweat is when I am at the gym or working out. The stuff works great and I have had no side effects at all from it. Non-sweaters have no idea what it is like to go through life sweating all the time. It is embarrassing and really erases your social life. I hope this helps some of you...

Excessive sweating can be due to some kind of epilepsy, it is under the following category;

• Seeing things as smaller or bigger than they really are
• Seeing or hearing something that is not actually happening
• Smelling non-existent smells
• Tasting non-existent tastes
• Feeling frightened, panicky, sad or happy
• Feeling detached from what is going on around you

My sweating was real bad but after a started to take a medicine called Carbamazimpine my sweating is regulated.
i think if you have the above symptoms
or combination of the symptoms you should see a doctor and you will get cured for sure
Has this worked for anybody?
My mom said when she was about 9 she started sweating a lot under her arms, i didn't notice until i was in 4th grade i was wearing a pink shirt and i noticed in the bathroom there was sweat under my arms, i didn't think anything of it but it got worse and i sweat more and more. I'm 13 now i just started junior high and it's embarrassing! I always wear sweat shirts and my friends will ask me why and i just say i don't like my arms. i haven't told anybody not even my mom that's how much i'm embarrassed by it! I hope some of these work!
I sweat just washing the dishes .when walk to the shops it runs down my face like its been raining it is a side effect from the antidressant am on its making my life hell any tips would be greatful
i've had this problem for as long as I can remember, I sweat excessively on the face, armpits, arms and palms. But my face is the worst. Sometimes, none of my body parts is sweating and my face is already soaked with sweat. it sweats like crazy so when this happens I avoid talking to people because talking to people means looking in the face and that's so embarassing. I hate my life because of this. I'm a very much different person when I'm sweating and when I'm not. When im sweating, i avoid people even my closest friends and they all think im just being moody but when im not sweating, im like the happiest person and really jolly and not embarassed of talking to people. Because of sweating I cannot enjoy my life to the fullest. I'm only 17 and I'm still hoping to get cured. I want to be normal. :((((((
I'm 16 years old. I don't know for sure if I have hh, but whenever I wear tight clothing I constantly sweat under my armpits. Whenever I go shopping I can't buy clothes based on what's cute, I buy based on if I will sweat or not. I apply deodorant at least 3 times a day. I wear sweatshirts all the time. I sweat even in the coldest temperature. And I don't want to tell my parents because, honestly, it's downright embarrassing.
