Nobody wants to talk about excessive sweating or sweaty underarms, although it's a common problem for a lot of people. It's a visual embarrassment and also a smelly concern! A lot more people suffer from excessive sweating than you might realize. It is not a problem only confined to teenagers, whose hormones are changing. It can be a life long problem for grown adults, and a very frustrating and annoying issue. There are so many products on the market that claim to work, including commercial strength antiperspirants, but nothing aprt from surgery claims to work permanently, and surgery is certainly not always the best option.

Sweating is one of the ways we regulate our body temperature, and sweating also keeps our skin moist. If you suffer from excessive sweating, it's not because you have too many sweat glands, it's because of the nerve cell activity of those glands. There are two types of sweat glands, apoccrine and eccrine glands.

Not surprisingly, at least 1% of the population suffers from excessive sweating, especially excessive underarm sweating. Everybody sweats more when they are hot or nervous, but excessive sweating may be partly due to our genes.

It's important to control excessive sweating, and there are many different opinions and views on how to achieve this. If you suffer from excessive sweating, you've probably already tried the commercial antiperspirants and deodorants, and you're still looking for a cure for your problem.

Diet control alone will not cure excessive sweating, but can help reduce it somewhat. Certain foods, such as onions, fish, garlic, and spicy foods like curry, can be smelled in the sweat. Try to reduce your intake of these types of foods.

Underarm hair holds sweat and can make the problem worse. If possible, shave your armpits to reduce the bacteria build-up.

There are other expensive and more painful cures available, such as Botox injections given in very small doses into the skin which can stop excessive sweating for 2-8 months. However, Botox is a poison, and it's natural to have concerns about the long term effects of such treatment.

As a last resort, surgery is often considered, where the sympathetic nerves that control sweating are cut. This type of operation requires general anesthesia, and is not guaranteed to work. The success rate is approximately 30%. Underarm skin can be removed and can be quite effective, but this is not a common operation due to the scarring and is not encouraged or performed very often.

Natural ways to cure excessive sweating are by far the easiest and cheapest way to control the problem. It's definitely safer to try diet control and natural remedies first.

Jane and work
By: voterperson | 03-06-2008
This happened in 1987 when my friend Jane was at work. Jane was talking to Nancy and Bob (one of her seven bosses). Bob: ?Nancy you are skinny?Jane: ?What about me?Bob: ?Jane you are fat, Nancy is skinny?(Bob knows Jane is very obsessed with weight)Later on Jane thinks Bob said to her that he was only kidding. And she DOES Know for a fact that her bosses always said ?Jane you eat to live, we live to eat?Any way in 1987 Jane was taking massive doses of vitamins and minerals and she thinks she blew up like a balloon.Even though Jane has an excellent memory in this case Jane cannot remember if the incident with Bob is real or she imagined it. So Jane called me and asked me what I thought and I told her the following: No one would flat out tell someone they are fat unless it was a joke. They might say something like you know you are a little bit overweight or something a bit more polite. Jane the incident could be real because you did say Bob told you he was clowning around. Also guys like to annoy girls and play on their sensitivitiesSo my questions: Do you agree/concur with me, and why or why not -details please?
