If you are someone who suffers from inconvenient sweating then chances are that you are reading this article in the hopes of finding some helpful information on how to stop sweating. If you sweat more than the average person then you may have a medical condition known as Hyperhidrosis. Before deciding which treatment method you would like to use it is important that you take steps to better understand the reasons behind your excessive underarm sweating.
Each individual person suffers from the inconvenience of excessive underarm sweating for a variety of reasons. If a person is obese of overweight they have an increased tendency to sweat. For these people the first step they should try is losing weight by implementing a healthy diet and lifestyle. Some other conditions which may result in excessive perspiration are conditions such as menopause, and psychological illnesses and an overactive thyroid gland. A genetically predisposition for an overactive sympathetic nervous system is another possible cause of sweating in excess.
Searching for a cure in order to stop excessive sweating is critical for any person who is suffering from hyperhidrosis. As if sweaty armpits and sweat drenched clothing wasn’t embarrassing enough, sweating also causes body odor and if a body spray or deodorant isn’t nearby then you could find yourself smelling rather offensive to those around you.
There are many products available these days to help control and live with excessive sweating. Antiperspirants are the most common. In recent times, contoured pads for men have been developed and sold in many stores. These pads come deodorised or fragrance free and are designed to stop sweaty armpits becoming obvious as the pads adhere to the man’s armpits and absorb the underarm sweat thus stopping it from getting all over his shirt. It is important to understand that these pads are not a treatment for sweaty armpits, they are simple an item to make living with excessive sweating easier and more comfortable.
Dietary changes and lifestyle changes may help alleviate the problem sweating. Many spices that burn your mouth also heat up your body which in turn makes you sweat. It is also a wise idea to avoid hot drinks such as tea and coffee as much as possible because these drinks will also raise the temperature of your body and increase how much you perspire.
Antiperspirants may provide you with relief as well but if you have an extreme case of excessive sweating this may just be an expensive and not very helpful method. Some people need to use near a whole bottle or stick of antiperspirant on a daily basis to help stem how much they perspire. After some time the costs of buying one for every day or two would really add up.
Some home remedies you could try in the privacy and comfort of your own home are available and can be quite effective for some people. One home remedy you could use is baking soda. Simply apply some baking soda to your armpits; it works by killing bacteria and absorbing your sweat. Instead of using deodorant try wiping your underarms with a vinegar or alcohol. Cotton clothing is very absorbent so if you are prone to sweating it may be best to wear cotton in the warmer months so you don’t feel like you are soaking in your own perspiration. Baby powder is another household item that can be used to keep your underarms dry. Body odor can be fought by bathing in a bath for 15 minutes that has only water and 2 cups of tomato juice in it and also by wiping the affected area with apple cider vinegar.
