Are you like millions of people all around the world who suffer from excessive sweating? Sweating is the body’s built in air conditioner, as the body overheats the more you sweat. Lets’ take a look at the areas where we sweat the most and we will take a look at some treatments that may work for you. Let’s start with the sweaty hand. This happens to people when they become nervous, have you ever been on a job interview and right before you are about to go in your hands are like slip and slides? This happens to most people before a job interview or before meeting someone new for the first time.

There are a few things you can do if you are on your way to an interview or meeting someone for the first time. The first thing to do is to wash your hands, find the nearest restroom and wash your hands thoroughly. This way when you are about to meet someone the sweaty hands will be gone. Or you may want to carry a travel size tube of powder, talcum powder for babies works best. The talcum absorbs the perspiration. Just place a little bit on your palms and rub gently into your hands.

The next and perhaps the most embarrassing is the under the arm sweat. As kids we used to see teachers at the end of the day with their shirts stained with sweat. The only real solution here we can offer is to carry around a trial size container of deodorant. This will work in a pinch, we sometimes see people running into the bathroom and take a wet paper towel and wipe the sweat away. Sometimes it works but you run the risk of using too much water and really soaking your shirt.

Sweaty feet is another cause for concern, the thing about sweaty feet is that others don’t know you have sweaty feet until you take off your shoes. There are several ways we can help with sweaty feet. One way is to put powder into your socks before you put your shoes on. You can also place some powder at the bottom of your shoes as well.

Using the good old Odor Eaters will work wonders and the best way to avoid sweaty feet is to buy a shoe that has ventilation. Boots are no good for preventing sweaty feet. A good pair of sneakers with the holes on the sides is designed to help keep your feet ventilated. The best way to avoid sweaty feet especially in the warmer months is to invest in a pair of sandals.

Everyone sweats and there is no way we can really stop that. In the summer months we sweat because of the weather and the other times like on job interviews and first meetings and any other situation that may make you nervous, you have to learn to control your fear and your nervousness and only then can you control being sweaty.

I know that sweating helps remove toxins from the body. But some people do sweat more than others.

I know 'excessive' can be a subjective term, but there are people who sweat excessively, right? I am talking about those who are not on any high-potency medication, which can result in excessive sweating.

Other than inconvenience, is it a medical problem if a person sweats excessively? And if its a medical problem, is there a remedy? That is, what are the medical tests recommended for such a person?

if its underarm sweating, here is some info on things to try to control it… or mask it… actually some of the info can be used for hands and feet as well.

Here is some info (its from an answer I gave to a similar question a while back)

excessive sweating might be a condition of hyperhidrosis, which is quite common.

there is a product called Certain-dry and Dry Sol which I think you apply only at night maybe for only a few days or maybe a week and its supposed to last for a short while before you apply again… not sure exactly if I am right on how it works.

there is also a product called Sweat Block that you apply once a week.

you might be able to use these on other areas of the body like if you have excessive sweating on the hands but I am not sure.

if your sweating is not controllable by these then there is something called "Drionic" which they have underarm versions or hand/feet versions. You have to do I think 2 half hour sessions and depending on if you do it on low or high you have to do it for 7-8 hours total or double that on low. This is supposed to stop sweating for up to 6 weeks at a time. It stings when you use it but once you are used to it I guess its not that bad by what my uncle told me (he uses it with great success). Your underams will be red when first using it until you get used to it. But once you get through the treatments it will go back normal after some days. My uncle said this is the best thing he has ever tried as it stops his excessive sweating (he even sweat a lot during winter when it was snowing)

also, if you don't want to go this route and your excessive sweating is on your underarms, there are underarm guards you can place on your clothing that absorb the sweat and prevent those armpit wet circles some people get.

there is

it says its not see-thru but if you are wearing a t-shirt you can see "something" there… they may not know its the underarm pads… but you can always wear a very thin undershirt with the sweat pad attached then your regular t-shirt or any other top over that.

and these:

Approximately 1percent of the world’s population endures over sweating, also called hyperhidrosis. This problem usually appears in the armpits and palms and can lead to extreme uneasiness to the sufferer, especially if his/her occupation involves meeting and greeting people.

Sweating is formed by the sweat glands and is immensely valuable since this way we can remove harmful toxins. However, in several people these glands become greatly stimulated, which results in hyperhidrosis.

To treat this condition several people apply antiperspirants, but they can only show effect if the condition is mild.

A further fairly common treatment is to utilize Botox injections, but the disadvantage is that they can cost up to $1400 and they are reasonably painful.

If you have attempted to resolve this condition and nothing has worked, don’t be concerned. There is a entirely natural treatment you can use to stop sweating excessively permanently. Here below are some guidelines that will get you on the right track:

Take care of what you eat: there are some foods that raise your quantity of sweat and they also make your body smell badly. Try to steer clear of spicy foodstuffs, onions, garlic, curries and red meat. Also stay away from caffeine in view of the fact that it causes your heart’s rate to rise and makes the scenario worse. A further thing you should absolutely reduce is drinking alcohol. On the other hand, there are many food items that can assist you in reducing sweat such as fruits, vegetables and alfalfa. Furthermore, you can attempt to use herbs such as lemon balm, St. Johns and catnip.

Lose weight: it looks as if many of sufferers are overweight. By shedding some it will be easier for you to move and it will create a smaller amount of warmth.

Find out some recreation techniques: many times perspiring palms and armpits are caused by stress, increased levels of anxiety can cause this condition. If you trust that this is the scenario with you, then trying recreation techniques such as meditation and yoga can be massively helpful.

How can you stop excessive underarm sweating without drugs or antiperspirants (which are bad for you)? This happens even it's cold — it has nothing to do with sweating from being too hot.

Hi Rose. I had this problem. In my case, it was an anxiety problem. My body decided that it would give me underarm perspiration as it's way of dealing with stress since I obviously held it in too much. I would not say that antiperspirants are bad for you unless you have some kind of adverse reaction to them. I did react but if you don't, I would not hesitate to use them. Another option if you are willing to wear them is "Cami-Vee". It absorbs perspiration before it can damage your blouse or dress. Naturally, if this is severely bothersome to you, you should see a doctor but this symptom in itself does not point to any serious disease process. Good luck.

I have excessive sweating and usually, I tried Mitchum but it doesn’t work oh well. Even you say try Certain Dri, I am sure that it wouldn’t work on me…..no questions, please.

But I heard that men’s deodorant work really well for women who have excessive sweating. Is this true and what is the best men’s deodorant with really good smell?

Thanks so much.
Also, if I wear it to school, would everybody make fun of me because of the smell?
I tried Secret Clinical Strength. It doesn't even work.

Try using gillete deodarant its really good its a bit pricy but it works well it keeps the smell for a long time but while spraying it make sure you shake it aswell
_______

Oh and for the smell of men just have a rub on smell fo rthe women and spray it on your clothes so they cant smell it.
Take care

I seem to sweat all the time and it’s not just when I’m at the gym, but also if I’m sitting at my desk or walking at normal pace. I’ve tried different deodrants but nothing seems to work and it’s really embarrassing trying to constantly hide my wet patches. What can i do?

excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is fairly common. Normal sweating is the body’s way of regulating temperature, but some people are born with more sweat glands than others, and if the part of the nervous system that triggers the sweat glands is also very active, obvious and visible perspiration becomes a problem.

Start by using a specially formulated antiperspirant such as Driclor or Anhydrol Forte, containing aluminium chloride 10 per cent solution, available from your GP. You could also consider Botox injections into the armpit, which will paralyse the nerves stimulating the sweat glands. If all else fails, there’s an operatino called endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy, which permanently cuts the nerves, reducing sweating significantl. This is a fairly serious operation, however, so speak to your Doctor.
