Home Remedies for Excessive Sweating

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

If you have a problem with sweat, you will be glad to know there are many inexpensive home remedies for excessive sweating.

You should first understand that sweating is a natural way for your body to cool off. Sweat glands located in the dermis (middle) layer of your skin produce liquid that is forced to the top of your skin as your body temperature rises. As this liquid (perspiration) evaporates on your skin’s outer layer, your body temperature cools to normal levels.

Because sweat is a necessary function, you should not try to eliminate sweating altogether. However, we all know what kinds of problems sweating can cause. Here are some home remedies for excessive sweating that you can use.

First of all, wear natural fabrics, such as cotton. Synthetic fabrics don’t allow your skin to breathe and force the sweat to stay on your skin without evaporating. Natural fibers allow the sweat to wick away from your skin, making it healthier.

Second of all, bathe regularly, using a loofah sponge to thoroughly scrub bacteria away from your body. In hot weather or if you are particularly active, bathe in the morning and the evening.

Third of all, thoroughly dry yourself off when you are done bathing. Pay special attention to your toes, your groin and your armpits, in which bacteria like to breed, causing those distinctive body odors. Dry thoroughly and consider using light amounts of talcum powder to keep the areas dry.

Fourthly, drink plenty of fluids, especially water. By drinking plenty of cool liquids, you will easily bring your body temperature down to manageable levels. Stay away from caffeine or alcohol, however, as these can raise body temperatures and promote sweat.

Fifth of all, avoid spicy foods. While you may love the taste of Thai or Mexican cuisine, stay away from it if you have a problem with heavy sweating.

Six, eat food rich in zinc, which has been proven to reduce sweat odors. Zinc rich foods include turkey, whole grains, nuts and legumes. On the other hand, avoid odor producing foods like fish and garlic.

Seventh, try changing your deodorant. If the popular brands don’t do the trick for you, try going to a health-food store or a medical supply store which may have other more effective products for you to try. Sometimes a simple change is all you need.

These seven home remedies for excessive sweating will help make life a lot more pleasant, for you and for those around you.
