How To Effectively Stop Armpit Sweating

By Josephine Scott

Excessive perspiration is something that happens on any area on the body. Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can occur in the armpits, face, palms, and feet. The most common site for excessive sweating is, of course, the armpits. Armpit sweating can cause body odor, which is not a good thing in social situations and the sweat circles in your clothes is not a good sight.

Just imagine if your body odor was so bad that people started avoiding you. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways you can get rid of extreme armpit sweating. Aside from visiting your doctor on the right remedy to cure underarm sweating, there are kitchen items that could help you control this embarrassing issue.

Tomato pulp and apple cider vinegar are items found in your kitchen that help lessen armpit sweating. Rub tomato pulp inside the underarms and leave it on for about fifteen minutes (20 minutes for apple cider vinegar) then wash thoroughly with water afterwards. One other topical application is a paste of ground walnut and eucalyptus leaves. Also drink a cup of sage tea daily to stop underarm sweating. Lemon juice, which gets rid of odor and excess sweating, can be applied before bedtime. A mix of a teaspoon of baking soda, three drops of lavender oil, and a cup of water can be used as an armpit spray.

Applying tea tree oil to the infected area is also helpful in lessening armpit sweating. A calming cup tea mixed with lemon balm, peppermint, and fennel before going to bed helps a lot. Green tea helps to eliminate toxins. Herbs that assist in decreasing sweating are astralagus and burdock herb.

If you are overweight it will cause excessive armpit sweating. If you are blessed with a bit of body weight, it is best if you work to keep the weight under control. This means that you need to implement dietary changes. Avoid spicy foods (which cause the body to heat up) and eat more fruits, vegetables, and dairy products (which keep the body temp down).

Drink plenty more water instead of beverages that have alcohol in it. Alcohol ups the body temperature and heart rate, causing underarm sweating. The chemicals found in coffee and cigarettes increase sweating, so it would be safe if you limit them. Drinking a lot of water cools the body temperature. Last, but not the least, practice some relaxation methods like deep breathing, meditation, and yoga. Keep your stress levels down; lower the chances of increasing underarm sweating.

Wear cotton clothes to decrease armpit sweating. And you thought that surgery is what you really need to eliminate excess sweating. You don't need to look any further.
