Multiple Home Remedies For Excessive Sweating
There are many different home remedies for excessive sweating, many of which are common sense, such as wearing natural fabrics that let the skin breathe (such as cotton) as opposed to synthetic materials that result in excessive perspiration. Such man-made fabrics are polyester, polyblends, nylon and acetate which don’t let the fabric breathe. Anyone suffering from profuse sweating would do well to simply avoid wearing clothes made from such fabrics.
Learning some mechanisms for coping with stress and anxiety, such as breathing techniques, can help you feel less tense and nervous which will decrease the amount you sweat. With practise, you should be able to reduce the perspiration levels, which will generate a positive feedback loop because you’ll be worrying less about sweating, which will mean you’re more relaxed and sweat less.
Making sure you bathe frequently will ensure your pores are clean and will remove the bacteria that cause bad odours. By drying your skin well, you’ll deprive any remaining bacteria of a damp environment to grow in, which will prolong the time before body odour develops.
Avoid stimulants of the sympathetic nervous system, such as caffeine, alcohol and spices. Simply staying away from such chemicals will ensure your body isn’t producing more sweat than it would normally. It’s thought that zinc may help decrease sweating and body odour, so eating whole grains and nuts as part of a balanced diet may be beneficial. Another thing to try is sage tea, which some people claim helps reduce excessive sweating.
We advise that, before getting surgery or taking any medication, anyone thinking about getting treatment for uncontrollable sweating should consider natural treatments and remedies first. We recommend the ebook, “Stop Sweating and Start Living” by Mike Ramsay as a introduction to hyperhidrosis and what you can do to control your sweating naturally and cheaply.
