Natural Remedies For Excessive Sweating

Lots of people suffer from excessive sweating and if your reading this then I’m sure your a sufferer too or know someone close to you that is. My husband suffers  and it was really important for me to find to find him natural remedies for excessive sweating.

I have been adding things to this blog for quite a while now and one of the things I have found out is that not everyones sweating problem is the same or has the same effects on them. People sweat to varying degrees and deal with it in many different ways. I have spoken about lots of different treatments for excessive sweating from invasive surgical treatments to deodorants and antiperspirants. but I really think the foundation to any treatment starts with the basics and these are probably the easiest to try.

Natural remedies for excessive sweating are easily found in local supermarkets or shops and many households have them. OK where to start. ‘Herbs‘. Ancient chinese cultures having been using herbs to treat all sorts of conditions for thousands of years. They sometimes blend many different herbs together to build a strong potion. One thing I would say is try to stick to fresh herbs if possible, its a good bet your local health food store or pharmacy has blended herbs in capsules but these you will pay through the nose for and not get as much benefit as the fresh variety.

Try to think of your herb intake as you would fruit or vegetables. You know they are good for you and you try to eat them regularly. You wouldn’t eat a couple of portions of fruit a month and think you were getting any benefit, its all about a lifestyle change that will slowly bring great and long lasting results. Natural remedies for excessive sweating will work but only if built upon solid foundations. Try to eat healthily in general, avoid as much refined sugar as possible, stay away from to much processed food. Limit your caffeine and alcohol. I’m not saying turn in to a saint but treat your body as well as you can and you really will be amazed at the difference it can make.

So where do we start with natural remedies for excessive sweating?

SAGE.

sage - natural remedies for excessive sweating

Amongst the sweating/hyperhidrosis people that are in the know sage is a miracle cure. OK not quite a miracle but sufferers of excessive sweating really have had great results with sage, my husband included. Lets get real one cup of sage tea wont see the end of your sweating but include sage regularly into your diet by either eating it or drinking it and it will build up in your system and work for you. Also you can get sage leaf capsules but i would try and get dried leaves or fresh sage.

Sage is very versatile and as i said can be eaten or drunk. It actually tastes really good and can be put into virtually any recipe. Another great way to take it is to make a drink with lemon, honey and sage, great Tasting. Basically you add boiling water to some dried sage let it sit a couple of minutes,  then drain and mix in the lemon and honey to taste. I would recommend having a small cup in the morning and may be one at night.

I have heard of another way to use sage and that is to simply apply directly to the skin. A way you can do this easily is to use the sage removed from your tea, once cooled apply to the skin in the areas effective by sweating. My husband never really tried this, to be honest i think he thought the tea was bad enough but again I have heard about good results and hey why not, if you have made the tea already why not get a double boost with the sage. If your suffering bad enough I think its worth trying everything and give it a real good go. Just try to make it part of your normal routine.

So what other things should you be looking at for natural remedies for excessive sweating?

natural remedies for excessive sweating - Sage

Apple Cider Vinegar

organic apple cider vinegar - natural remedies for excessive sweating

I would say that apple cider vinegar is a very good supplement to take whether or not you suffer from excessive sweating. Apple cider vinegar helps to regulate cholesterol and gives the metabolism a boost but i have heard from many sources that it can help with excessive sweating. I would try to find apple cider vinegar in liquid form like in the picture, this will be absorbed much easier than a tablet or capsule. There are a few different types and you need to be careful you get the  Apples cider vinegar that is the low acidic version as some do have high acid content and can upset your stomach. As with the sage just try to add it in to your routine give it time and see how it works for you.

Some people have found extra benefit with apple cider vinegar when mixed with raw organic honey. 2 teaspoons of the vinegar along with 2 teaspoons of honey mix with a glass of water 3 times a day on an empty stomach will do the trick. make sure you use the thick honey and not the syrup type from supermarkets. This is crucial for you to get any benefit from it.

Charcoal

Charcoal is something that can be taken that will help with excessive sweating and body odor. Give it a few days to get in to your system. You will have to experiment with the time of day you take it and the dose. You can get charcoal in a powder from which you mix with water, I’ll be honest I have tried it and it doesn’t taste very good but it is supposed to be a good general detox substance. When my husband took it he noticed a reduction in sweat almost straight away (well within a day or so). he took it once a day at lunch time as he found it difficult to take first thing in the morning or last thing at night.

Magnesium

Magnesium Citrate - natural remedies for excessive sweating

Magnesium is another mineral that has been linked to excessive sweating reduction, someone who is deficient of magnesium should take supplements in capsule form I would say 200 – 300 mgs of magnesium citrate would be enough but i do know people that have taken up to 500 mgs daily. I have spoken to people who have taken this alone and have drastically reduced their sweating. One word of warning magnesium can have a laxative effect so always start with a low dose and build up.

Magnesium has other effects on the body and has been known to calm the nerves and lift the feeling of depression.

Another thing to say about mineral supplementation is that the body needs sufficient vitamin D to absorb the minerals now you can get this from good old sunshine or through a vitamin D supplement.

OK so there are 4 natural remedies for excessive sweating. Sage. Apple cider Vinegar, Charcoal and Magnesium.

What i would say about natural remedies for excessive sweating is give them a try,  some may work for you some may not but you can use any combination you want or even use all four at the same time. Find the dose that works for you and give it time to get in to your system and start working. Once sweating has reduced or stopped then move on to a maintenance phase with slowly reduced doses.

I know of at least 3 other good natural remedies for excessive sweating but I’m getting a little tired so I’ll share those with you in another post.

If you want to fast track your way to a sweat free life I can recommend a great book. Its the very same book my husband read. After reading the book everything started to fall in to place and he formulated a plan to beat his sweating for good. he has been sweat free for almost 12 months now and we both think for the most part it was down to the great book.

Why am I sweating so much?

Why am i sweating so much is a question i get asked all the time. The answer is never normally a straight forward one and the amount you sweat and the resons behind it are often varied.  below is an snippet from an email I received.

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 more common than people think.  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. Anxiety, Stress and physical load on the body can all contribute to excess sweat and help to answer the question why am I Sweating so much

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.

If you would prefer to use more natural remedies then take a look at the post article I wrote call Natural Remedies For Excessive Sweating

So is men’s deodorant stronger than women’s?
Good question and one i’ll try to answer. I do get asked this question a lot and many women wanting to know if I’m sweating a lot is men’s deodorant stronger than women’s. Well to be honest with you it all depends on what sort of deodorants your talking about. There are a number of high strength antiperspirant deodorants aimed directly at men. but these tend to have very masculine and musty scents. What I have found with antiperspirants is its good to swap and change around, the body is very good at getting used to certain products to the point where they become ineffective.  So a change is a good idea, if looking at mens deodorants take a look at ones labelled ‘fresh’ or ‘cool’ as these will have a less masculine odor.

One thing that isn’t normally a concideration is cost. If your a women who is looking in to mens deodorant it is usually because you are sweating more than you want too and are trying to find a solution. There are a couple of things you may want to consider. One is that men and women’s deodorant has different pH levels and womens deodorants are specifically designed to work withthe womens body that said as I mentioned earlier sometimes a change in deodorant works well. All I would say is i would make it the exception and not the rule. may be try the mens deodorant when you really think you might need it and then revert back to womens deodorant for every day. That way when you need the extra boost it will work for you and your body wone get used to the differnece.

If you have have tried both women’s and men’s deodorants without much sucess you could always try a clinical strength deodorant such as Drysol, Certian Dri or Perspirex. These deodorants don’t suit everybody and some feel they are a little harsh on the body and most can only be used for short periods of time but a lot of people get really good results from them and its certainly worth looking in to if none of the regular high strength deodorants don’t cut it.

I’d be really happy to here your comments ‘is men’s deodorant stronger than women’s’ or any other questions you may have.

Until next time heres to a sweat free future.

So just how common a problem is excessive sweating. Well if your a sufferer of excessive sweating you may think that you are suffering alone. Let me tell you this right now any form of excessive sweating is a big big problem and there are many many people all over the world suffering.

OK everybody sweats and we all know that it is a normal function and in fact is quite healthy to sweat (not what anyone who suffers from excessive sweating wants to here). Sweating is a way of controlling body temperature, the sweat evaporates on the skin which in turn cools the skin. The sweat comes from glands which are located all over the body but are higher in concentration around the armpits, palms of the hands. soles of the feet and the forehead. In all everybody has between 2 and 4 million sweat glands. it is also known that women have more sweat glands than men but mens are more active.

So what is so called normal sweating. Well we would all expect to sweat a little when doing physical exercise, when we were eating a particularly hot or spicy curry, if we were ill of had a fever/high temperature and of course on a hot day. But anything that you feel you are not in control of is causing you anxiety or discomfort is not what I would determine normal sweating.

I know a lot about sweating, it is something that has effected my life for many years. I have sweated for as long as i remember but it was at its peak around my early to mid 30′s. It was something that effected my every day life to a very large extent. I was always known as the sweaty one. I tried to hide it as much as possible but more often than not had dark sweat patches under my arms and when ever i sat down left a sweaty mark on the seat. I was always very conscious about my sweating. I would always be very careful about clothes that i brought, I always tried to buy cotton clothes and mainly white that didn’t show up the sweat.

Anyone who suffers from excessive sweating will be please to know that there are ways to control your sweating. You may feel at your wits end and tied of having sweaty underarms, sweaty feet or sweat palms. I used to find it was a vicious circle. I new I was sweating and that made me feel anxious and the more anxious I got the more i sweated and the more I sweated the more anxious i got and so on an so on. it was a very hard cycle to break. But it can be done with good success.

Hyperhidrosis is defined as abnormally excessive perspiration and has affected millions of people around the world. Botox treatments and invasive surgery are usually used to treat hyperhidrosis but there other others who use herbal remedies with different results. These remedies are not absolutely proven to be effective, yet their natural component, aluminum chloride is regarded as a natural antiperspirant. It is good to get rid of excessive armpit perspiration.

Astragalus

· Natural to temperate regions in the northern hemisphere, including parts of China, the root of this pale-flowered plant has long been hailed for its medicinal properties, including its qualities as an antiperspirant. The Institute of Traditional Medicine believes that astralagus strengthens the body through the enzymes promoting the function of white blood cells, thus helping in decreasing excessive night sweating or weakness-induced spontaneous sweating. A part of this plant can be taken or applied on skin which can give results depending on the patient’s condition and the toxicity level of the solution.

Valerian Root

· This enduring plant has heads of sweet smelling white or pink flowers, and is usually in bloom between June and September in the northern hemisphere. Insomia, anxiety and too much sweating are known to be relieved by the root of valeia plant. Abnormal sweating due to stress can be removed by taking this herbal plant. This herbal plant is usually found as a component of a capsule or tablet whose prescription varies. However, if this is taken more than the standard, it can result to stomach aches, apathy or feelings of mental dullness or depression.

Various reasons make people endure too much sweating.

* First on the list is obesity. Being overweight makes people sweat more. You should look for ways to decrease your body fat amount. Eat well and do exercise.
* You might be suffering from overactive thyroid glands,
* Psychiatric disorders,
* Stoppage of menstruation,
* Some people may sweat excessively for no reason at all. Their nervous system could be geneticallyboverly charged.

Take note of these tips to reduce armpit sweating.

* Be sure to dry yourself after bath to avoid bacteria and microorganisms from thriving. 5 or 6 showers a day is normal among those with underarm sweating. As a result, they use soap often, which in turn, can block the pores and dry the skin. Talcum Powder is only for a moment to cool down your body from sweating.

* Wear clothes with natural fabric. Wool, silk and cotton are friendly and natural. Your skin can give off moisture using these.
* Before sleeping, apply some good quality of antiperspirants to sweaty underarms, your soles of the feet or palms. No-scent antiperspirants are the best in this problem.
* To give off that sweat, do exercise and aerobics so that afterwards you sweat less. Shake off stress from you body by relaxing.

excessive armpit perspiration can be avoided using some ways. There are ways, so just be patient.

I use a sure plus roll-on and anti-persipant, i regularly maintain a shave area of the underarm, however, if i wear something thin or sleeved, i will get heavy sweating leaving embarrasing sweat patches.. how can i control it.

Forget the Sure and get yourself some Mitchum roll-on. They claim on the label that it’s so good you can miss a day without bathing, and while it might sound a bit gross I can vouch for it being tru. They do men’s and women’s versions available in most good supermarkets and chemists. I had a mate at school years ago who had a major BO problem, so I got him some of this stuff and he was “cured” overnight!

What is excessive sweating?

Normal sweating helps to keep the body temperature steady in hot weather, during a fever, or when exercising. Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) means that you sweat much more than normal. Even when you are not hot, anxious, or exercising, you make a lot of sweat.

Excessive sweating is classified into three types (as follows). It is important to know which type you have as the causes and treatments are very different.

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.

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.
