Men and women struggling with excessive sweating are suffering from a serious problem. Excessive sweating often limits people's lives because we do our best to protect ourselves from being reviled as excessive sweaters. In the continuing article I will examine six of the most common reasons why some sweat too much.
*The food we put into our mouths are often one of the most common reasons for excessive sweating. An unhealthy diet with a lot of fat and sugar increases out level of sweating. Strong spices also increase the level we sweat. Spices like chili, garlic or curry also make the sweat smell worse.
*Coffee together with energy drinks or drinks with a high level of sugar are also not beneficial if you want to lower the level you sweat. Sure, an ice cold drink cools your body for a while, but the energy loaded ingredients will increase your blood pressure instantly and lead you to sweat more. The negative consequences of the ingredients will last longer than the cool down feeling the drinks will give you. Coffee is most often a hot drink and will also not help. Try water.
*If you thought smoking helped you calm down and sweat less you where wrong. The cigarette will probably help you for 10 minutes before the bodies' process of tricking you into taking the next cigarette starts. The toxics in cigarettes and the stress and uncomfortable reactions these causes is one of the biggest causes for excessive sweating. Also if you are an excessive sweater you only make things worse if you smoke.
*Chemicals in skin care and anti sweat products like antiperspirant is not good for those of us with excessive sweating. The chemicals fill up the pores in your body, making it hard for it to breathe. Excessive use of unnatural soap or lotions also increases excessive sweating.
*Shopping for clothes is not fun when you are an excessive sweater. However, when you do be sure to read the label that tells you what the clothes are made from. Use cotton or wool if it is cold and stay away from non natural materials. Acrylic socks are a common mistake, together with polyester shirts or suits. Let your body be able to breathe some air.
*Thinking about your sweat problem will only make it worse. When you are in a situation where you start to stress about your sweating or fearing that you will start to sweat, you only make it worse. It is hard, but when you notice that you start sweating, try to ignore it and start thinking about something completely different.
There are several cures for excessive sweating. Most of these will not help you and some will even make it worse. A favorite of mine is detoxing as I have referred to several time during this article. You have both internal detoxing in terms of removing strong spices, coffee, cigarettes, alcohol and sugar from your diet. This I think is the toughest way.
External detoxing is the process of changing the way you clean your body. This includes changing your beauty and washing products as well as some other methods I have had great success with. The external detoxing, together with some of the other mentioned advices is what helped me stop sweating excessively.

Hyperhidrosis is a fairly common disorder shared by millions across the world. By definition, Hyperhidrosis is the excessive sweating of the head, face, hands, feet and armpits no matter the temperature or conditions.
ReplyDeleteThe sweating is erratic, unpredictable and uncontrollable. You do have some options.
To stop the excessive sweating try:
1. Drysol
Drysol is a prescription deodorant that works wonders for underarm, hand and foot sweating. Apply it to your hands, feet, armpits or anywhere else you sweat at night before bed. You only need to apply it once a day - it's not like regular deodorant. This stuff is Clinical Strength. Beware of irritation with Drysol. You may have to take a day or two off from this treatment if your skin gets too dry, sensative or red with a rash.
2. Drink more water to lower your body temperature.
A lot of people are confused by this solution. They think if they drink more water, it will give them that much more fluid to sweat out. This is totally incorrect. Drinking more water cools your core temperature and will alleviate some of the excessive sweating. Of course now you'll need to worry about all those bathroom breaks. :)
3. Drink Green Tea or Sage Tea at night
Tea contains an astringent property which will dry out oils and prevent excess moister from escaping the skin. It essentially drys you from the inside out.
In addition to helping your complexion, green tea will neutralize many of the toxins that create the pungent odor in sweat. By the way, that odor is caused by bacteria that treats your sweat as a breeding ground. Gross!
4. Try Certain Dri (non-prescription deodorant)
You can buy this one at most pharmacies. Certain dry is a little less abrasive than Drysol so you won't need to worry as much about irritation. It is however a little less strong. You'll want to gauge your level of Hyperhidrosis by first trying Certain Dri. If your sweating continues, upgrade to Drysol and that should do the trick.
5. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine
Don't underestimate the power of your diet. Onions, Garlic, Curry, Coffee and a whole host of other ingredients are powerful triggers for hyperhidrosis sweating. Cut out some of these cultprits and see gradual but noticeable results. Add leafy greens and tea into your diet for a positive effect on sweating. Changing your diet will really cut out the spontaneous sweating from your daily lunch breaks.
6. Try Iontophoresis treatments.
This is more of a phase 3 solution. Try the clinical deodorants and diet fixes first. However, there is a treatment called Iontophoresis where you place your hands and feet into bowls or plates. The plates are filled with mineral water. Connected to the plates is an Iontophoresis electromagnetic device. Gentle electic pulses are distributed through mineral water. The minerals bond and temporarily change the nature of your sweat pores to block the sweat. This treatment works well. You can learn about it through the Source link I've provided below.
7. Try a Sage Tea Soak
There's something called a Sage Tea solution what you do is...
a. Buy Sage Tea from your supermarket
b. Fill a large bowl with room temperature water
c. Put the sage tea bags in the bowl and let the tea dissolve a bit.
d. soak your hands for 15 minutes in the bowl.
Sage Tea will act as an astringent to dry the skin and prevent excessive sweating for many days to follow.
Don't just do this soak one day. Do it everyday for 5 days straight (15 minutes at a time) and you'll see great results.
If your hands tan from the tea, just wash them in the sink with antibacterial soap. The residue will come off easily.
8. ETS (Endoscopic Thorasic Surgery)
If the sweating is bad enough, some people will opt towards ETS (Endoscopic Thorasic Surgery). This is, however, a LAST resort. I recommend you try everything else possible before opting towards surgery. You can speak with your Dermatologist to find out more.

ReplyDeleteHello, my sweating has caused me into such a depression, that I won't leave my house. I drip sweat from my head/face. no where else. I've been to the endrocronologist, and to doctors for years and no luck. I've given up. Tired of people asking are you ok? Can't do the simplest thing without being soaked. None of this started until after child birth. Doctors seem to shrug it off like you could have worse problems, but what is worse than never leaving your house and being able to interact with your child. Any suggestions? I don't have excessive sweating anywhere else but my head.
ReplyDeleteHello anonymous,
ReplyDeleteglad to see that someone has the same problem as I have (not glad you have it but at least I know I'm not alone). My head sweats are so bad that I cannot see as it runs into my eyes. If I am doing work at home I have to wear a forehead sweat band. It makes my life a mysery. If you find a cure please let me know.
