Home Remedies For Excessive Sweating - How to Stop Excessive Sweat
Sat, 28 Nov 2009

Okay, so you're looking for home remedies for excessive sweating. In this article, I will briefly run through some easy home remedies you can use to stop your excessive sweating. These include: wearing natural fabrics to let your skin breathe, reducing stress, frequent bathing/showering, and avoiding stimulants.

Avoid Synthetic Fabrics

Wearing natural fabrics like cotton can be helpful, as this will allow the skin to breathe better, whereas synthetic materials may cause excessive perspiration. Examples of man-made fabrics you may want to avoid are:

  • Polyester
  • Polyblends
  • Nylon
  • Acetate

Reduce Stress

Excessive sweating can often be as a result of excessive stress. Learn to calm yourself down and reduce any stressful aspects to your life. Make it your goal to address any troublesome issues head-on rather than allowing them to bottle up.

Also, to calm yourself down in stressful situations, take a moment to sit still and do some slow deep breathing. This will relax you physically and emotionally. Do this several times a day, particularly before or after a stressful event.

Frequent Bathing/Showering

Make sure you shower or bathe at least daily, as this will clean your pores of any sweat and bacteria. Also, afterwards be sure to dry yourself thoroughly, especially on areas that are prone to sweat. Dryness will reduce and prolong the development of bacteria which cause odour.

Avoid Stimulants

They may seem like a good idea to get you going and pep you up while at work. However, excessive use of stimulants like tea and coffee can over stimulate your nervous system and cause you to sweat more as a result. So, cut down on tea and coffee (or cut them out altogether). You will find yourself feeling more relaxed, and therefore you will be less likely to sweat.

Summary of Home Remedies for Excessive Sweating

So, as you have learned, some good ways to stop excessive sweating are:
  • Wear Natural Fabrics - so your skin can breathe.

  • Reduce Stress - practice deep breathing.

  • Frequent Bathing/Showering - be sure to dry yourself thoroughly.

  • Avoid Stimulants - they may over-stimulate you.
