Is excessive sweating bothering you? Follow
these tips to say goodbye to body odour. Excessive sweating, also known as
hyperhidrosis, may be hereditary. It could also
be caused due to hormonal imbalance, high
emotional excitement, spicy foods, exercise,
or stress. Here are a few things you could follow to ease
out the problem. 1. Flush out toxins with water. You may have heard this many times
before, but water not only cleanses
your body, it also prevents underarm
odour. In addition, having at least two
showers is hygienic and will help
combat excessive sweating and get rid of the offensive odour. 2. Wear the right clothes Wearing cotton clothes helps your skin
to breathe and you can deal better with
excessive sweating. Avoid fabrics that
are likely to create irritation and heat up
the skin, causing excessive sweating. 3. Lime and lemony. Lime helps you reduce sweating, prevent body odour
and bleach your under arm. You could
rub one half of a lime (not too ripe) on
your armpits. You may feel mild
irritation. However, if you are suffering
from rashes, avoid using lime. 4. Spray on some freshness. Cans of antiperspirants and deodourants do
help to some extent in keeping body
odour at bay, but it may not hold true for
everyone. Antiperspirants usually work
by clogging the pores, which stops
sweat from reaching the surface of your skin. Though they help get rid of
perspiration almost immediately, the
chemicals in them could cause side-
effects like irritation and discoloured
skin. 5. Lose weight and minimise
sweating. Start eating healthy and lose weight as excess weight leads to
excessive sweating. If your weight is
already normal, you need to include
more fibre to your diet and avoid
spices. This will help you to flush away
all the toxins from your body. 6. Try vinegar to combat the
problem. You may be surprised, but apply vinegar on your armpits before
sleeping at night and let it dry naturally.
Wash it off the next morning. Applying
apple cider on your armpits can also
help solve the problem of excessive
sweating gradually. 7. Visit your doctor. Visiting your doctor and getting a test done would
help you find out the exact cause for
excessive sweating. After all, sweating
is just a regular function of our body
that helps regulate body temperature.
