Suffering from excessive underarm sweating requires you to make serious life changes to manage your condition. There are particular lifestyle changes you can make to reduce the sweating and they're not big sacrifices. How ever you do need to understand what can cause you sweat more or less, and what changes you need to make to stop it. In this article we'll discuss a few of these changes you can to reduce armpit sweating, and help you get on with your life.
Controlling your Diet
Certain foods have the ability to make us sweat more, or adjust the odor of our perspiration. Foods like fish, garlic, and onions especially play a role in the scent of our sweating, while spicy dishes like curry can actually make us sweat more. Reducing or eliminating these foods from our diet is a smart move.
Armpit Hair
It's not something we think about but underarm hair can hold onto the odor of sweat. It could be worth keeping your armpits free of hair. This would mean shaving them regularly. While this doesn't stop you from sweating it does reduce the odor associated with excessive armpit sweating.
Medical Cures and Treatments
Just recently the FDA has approved the use of Botox as a treatment for excessive underarm sweating. The injections must be done every 6-8 months. While they can product significant results they're expensive, painful and the long term effects are not really known. There are also surgical alternatives that are new and can cut the nerve that controls the amount of sweating in our underarms. This can work, but the success rate is not very high.
Your Wardrobe
Don't wear clothing that is tight fitting, or fabrics that don't promote air circulation around the body. Close fitting tops and materials that don't breath cause our bodies to be hotter then they need to be. This in turn means more sweating.
In contrast a loose fitting cotton top that is very breathable will allow air to circulate against your body and keep your body cool. This also promotes the drying out of any sweat you do have.
Natural Excessive Sweating Cures
For many people they have found freedom through holistic and natural treatments. There are a couple of ebooks and digital documents on the Internet written by fellow excessive sweaters about how they found freedom from excessive underarm sweating.
