The 7 Best Deodorants for Excessive Sweating

best deodorants
When I first tried to combat my excessive sweating, I got nowhere. I’d walk into the local pharmacy and buy up every antiperspirant I could find off the rack only to be disappointed with my results days later. It was a painful cycle of trial and error and I remember, after the ninth or tenth brand of deodorant I tried, I started to think there was just no product out there that could solve my sweating.

Anyway, it took some time but I’m here to tell you that there ARE products out there that work. And after much exploration and testing, this article will show you the 7 best deodorants for excessive sweating, giving you fast and effective results.

After all my failures buying up the shelves at my local drugstore, I finally wised up and spoke candidly with my dermatologist about my excessive sweating woes. She told me I suffered from a fairly common condition called Hyperhidrosis. It caused me to sweat uncontrollably from the hands, armpits, face and feet no matter what temperature I was exposed to.

The reason the average store brand deodorants weren’t being effective was because they didn’t contain enough of the active sweat stopping ingredient, Aluminum Chloride.

This is pretty important for you to know…

Aluminum Chloride is the active ingredient which blocks your pores from sweating profusely.

Although there are numerous options for excessive sweating sufferers, the first one your should learn about is choosing the right deodorant.

Here I’ll be giving you the 7 best deodorants for excessive sweating that packed just enough punch to get my perspiration under control. Bear in mind, most of them can be applied to your hands and feet as well as your armpits to minimize the sweating. I also mention specific facial sweating deodorants as well.

The 7 Best Deodorants…

This is the weakest of the 7 deodorants in the list. However, it is a crucial first step. You don’t want to just grab the strongest antiperspirant off the shelf when you’re starting out or you’ll end up with irritated skin in no time. Certain Dri contains 12% Aluminum Chloride and is considered clinical strength. It’s a great first step when escalating to a stronger solution.

2. Drysol

This prescription strength deodorant usually requires your Dermatologist’s approval but there are online stores where you can get it without the inconvenient doctor’s note requirement. Drysol contains a whopping 20% Aluminum Chloride and starts working after the first application. It’s not like regular deodorant though. You only apply Drysol once a night before bedtime. During the day, you may not want to apply a regular deodorant as irritation can occur with such a powerful topical in place.

3. Deodorite
DeodoRite is a 100% safe and effective internal natural remedy for treating the underlying causes of body odor. The formula has been specially manufactured to improve the elimination of toxins from the body, promote healthy liver functioning and reduce excessive perspiration. It’s not a regular topical like most deodorants. You take it orally and it goes to work (Again, safely) regulating the toxins out of your body and decreasing your overall sweating.

4. Maxim Facial Wipes
These are a facial sweating sufferer’s best friend. Maxim wipes are convenient wipes that contain topical deodorant mild enough to apply to your face. Just wipe them all over your face and the astringent goes to work, blocking sweat pores and solving your problem fast. I loved the results using these things.

5. Secure Wipes
If Maxim wipes aren’t doing the trick for you, then Secure Wipes are your best bet for facial sweating. They come in degrees of strength with their medicine ranging from 1% – 4%. There are two warnings though with Secure Wipes.

First, if you choose too strong a formula, you will have redness, rash and irritation occur. Start with 2% if Maxim Wipes don’t work for you and then scale up from there. Secondly, they are a bit more expensive than the Maxim Wipes but you get your money’s worth. The results are palpable.

6. Driclor
This is a strong beast of a deodorant. Although it contains the same level of Aluminum Chloride as Drysol (20%), many people claim it dries them out where Drysol won’t. Here’s a very honest review. The itching, soreness, stinging and dry rash that I got were all terrible. You have to grit your teeth through the discomfort to get the results. That said, it definitely works!

7. Odaban
I saved one of my favorites for last. Odaban is less abrasive than Drysol and Driclor. Plus, you can apply it to your face in small doses. It’s a topical that comes in spray for (Drysol and Driclor are roll-on topicals). Somehow, I found that is conditioned my body to stop sweating rather than shocking it into submission. You’ll need to use it for a week to feel the optimal effects.

Endoscopic Thoracic Surgery

Thu, May 14, 2009

You may know by now that I highly recommend you try natural methods to relieve hyperhidrosis BEFORE going to such extremes as Botox or ETS. However, if your excessive sweating is so EXTREME you think you have no other options, Endoscopic Thoracic Surgery may be a last resort.

Below is a video that shows you part of an ETS surgery so you know what you’re in for. You can see by the video that this procedure is NOT reversible. The surgeons actually burn the nerve connectors here in the sympathetic chain of the chest cavity.


 

Once you commit to this, there’s no going back. If you get compensatory sweating as a result, you’re pretty much stuck with it.

That’s why I’m such an advocate of the Stop Sweating & Start Living program. It gives you a chance to end the excessive sweating WITHOUT going to such wild measures as ETS.  Check it out here and end your excessive sweating without the risk of irreversible surgery.

3 Amazing Ways to Cure Sweaty Feet

Mon, May 4, 2009

5 Comments

Ready to cure your nasty foot sweating problem? Looking for a way to stop the wetness and odor quickly AND conveniently? Easy enough! Just follow my 3 simple sweaty feet cures below and you’ll be well on your way.

I know what you’re going through…and it stinks! Yeah, pun intended – sorry :)

The good news is, you’re not alone. Having sweaty feet is a pretty common complaint among most people. I certainly dealt with it on a daily basis. If you’re anything like I was, it can be such a nerve racking experience having to take your shoes off in front of someone else. You pray they don’t stink or worse off, the person will see the sweat stains soaking through your socks – yikes!

This is getting a little personal here but before I give you these three amazing treatments, I have to let you know one of my most embarrassing sweaty foot stories. I was in college and went on a date with this girl. Anyway, things were going pretty great and after dinner, we went back to her apartment to cuddle up a bit. When I got through the door she said the place was just cleaned and asked me to take my shoes off. Already, I was getting a little nervous.

I remember she had this dark tile kitchen floor and as I walked across it, I left damp foggy foot tracks. She looked put off by the sight of my sweat tracks immediately.

Things got a little awkward after that and I never heard from her again. Now, I don’t know if things didn’t work out because of my sweaty feet, but I’m sure it didn’t add to my allure at the time.
So look, whatever reason YOU have to stop your foot sweating, it really couldn’t be any easier once you know the simple home remedies that get results super FAST. I’m talking, within hours.
Let’s get started with the first treatment.

Vinegar Foot Baths – Mix together 1/2 cup vinegar and a quart of very warm water in a basin. Soak your feet for 25 minutes. Then, dry your feet well – make sure you don’t forget the spaces in between your toes. Don’t rinse your feet. Let the vinegar really saturate your pores.

Not only does the vinegar act as an astringent, It exfoliates a thin top layer of your foot skin. You’ll experience dryness for hours after this soak. Plus, the acid in the vinegar neutralizes odor causing bacteria deep in your feet. Some people like using apple cider vinegar for this treatment. However, for foot sweating, I prefer white vinegar. It’s stronger and works faster.
As a side benefit, vinegar also inhibits fungal growth so you’ll protect your toenails from fungus and clear up common problems like athletes foot.

Salt Water Soak – Simple? Yes. Effective? Ohhh Yes. Don’t underestimate the power of a salt water soak on your feet. The salt will dry them right up and if you use Epsom salts, you’ll have soft dry skin as well. Exfoliating with a loofah before soaking your feet in salt water makes results faster AND longer lasting. You also want to make sure you use warm water to open up your skin’s pores and allow maximum exposure to the salt.

Be careful if you have any open cuts or sores on your feet. This will burn if you have any open abrasions.

Sage Tea – I saved the best for last. Sage tea contains super high levels of Tannic Acid which is a natural astringent. Add 4 or 5 bags of sage tea into a large basin of hot water and let it steep until the tea is fully dissolved. Then soak your feet for 25 minutes.

The tea will work its way into your foot pores and go to work, drying them up and neutralizing odor causing bacteria. Sage tea is VERY powerful as a long-term foot odor cure. Try this tonight and fall in love with the results.

Just a heads up – after you take your feet out of the basin, they’ll be a little tanned from the tea. Don’t freak out, the tanned color washes right off with a little soap and water.

Now if you’ve got sweaty palms, that’s another story. The treatment that cured my own hand sweating was this specific regimen…

Hyperhidrosis Diet Tips

Mon, May 4, 2009

0 Comments

hyperhidrosis diet
Although there may be worse disorders to have, suffering from Hyperhidrosis is no day in the park. And many hyperhidrosis sufferers (including myself) will vouch that it can completely consume and ruin any situation.

Hyperhidrosis is a condition where you body sweats excessively and spontaneously for no particular reason at all. It could be 50 Degrees outside and your body is still dripping from the hands, feet, face or underarms with relentless, unbearable perspiration.
An imbalance in your body’s sympathetic nervous system causes your sweat glands to be continuously triggered to fire off endless perspiration.

It’s no exaggeration to say that hyperhidrosis can be devastating. It slowly beats down your self-confidence and simultaneously creates self-consciousness that others around you notice the problem too.

You DO have alternatives though.

Let’s get to the heart of this post and start curing you of this problem right away!

As horrible as hyperhidrosis is, the condition IS treatable. Here I’ll be putting you on the right track to overcoming your excessive sweating by outlining a diet guideline that will steer you clear from encouraging further sweating. Your diet lays the foundation for curing your sweat problem so don’t take these tips lightly. All other excessive sweating treatments build upon these tips.

It’s simple enough. There are eating & drinking habits that encourage sweating and there are others that discourage it. Here, you’ll be learning some of the more prominent sweat inducing culprits. I’ll also show you how you can supplement your diet with items that prevent sweating.

These are proactive measures. They stop the sweating before it starts. They’ll require you to use less deodorant and spend less time engaging in sweat stopping home remedies. These tips don’t put out the fire. They prevent it to begin with.

So, let’s start with the bad news first. Here’s all the stuff you should NOT be eating and drinking. They promote perspiration and wreak havoc on your hyperhidrosis.

Things to Avoid:

 
Garlic – I give all you Italian food lovers out there my condolences. I used to LOVE eating linguini with white clam sauce. Of course an hour after the meal, my palms, face and shirt would explode with sweat bombs. It took a while before I put two and two together but after a little research I came up with the reason.

I’m going to get pretty fancy here with my medical explanation. Ready? ;)

Garlic’s strong smelling sulfur compounds are metabolized, forming allyl methyl sulfide. Allyl methyl sulfide (AMS) cannot be digested and is passed into the blood. From there, it’s carried to the lungs and the skin, where it is excreted.

Your body throws the garlic waste out your skin and breath – hence “garlic breath”. This is like putting your hyperhidrosis on steroids with the bonus of body odor. Not so good.


Onions – Depending on the strength of the onions you’re eating, you may sweat a lot or just a little. No matter what though – you’ll sweat!

The pungency of onions has a heating effect that increases your circulation. This is what raises body temperature and causes sweating. This effect is actually helpful in lowering fevers and sweating out colds and flu. For you, however, it’ll just feed the flame. Curve your onion eating until you get a grip on your sweating problem through other means.


Caffeine – It’s found in coffee, tea, cola drinks, energy drinks, cocoa and chocolate, nonprescription drugs and prescription drugs, weight-control aids, and a variety of other commonly consumed items. Tea is the ONLY exception to this rule and I’ll get to that in a bit. Other than tea, stay away for a while.

The link between caffeine and your sweating is probably obvious to you already. It’s a stimulant, raising blood pressure, increasing circulation and heartbeat. Your body is a machine, running at a constant 98.6 degrees. Speed up the parts and you’ll heat up the machine.

Your morning coffee is enough to raise your internal body temperature and dampen your shirt in no time. I know it might be tough for some of you coffee drinkers and soda addicts out there, but try to cut out the caffeine at least for a little while.


Spicy Foods – Peppers and spicy dishes are blatant offenders. They cause increased sweating by speeding up your metabolism (much like caffeine). Do yourself a favor and cut them out as well. Chances are, if you suffer from hyperhidrosis, you’re already aware of the effect hot wings have on your underarms. Yikes!


Alcohol – This is a HUGE No No. Let me just say one quick thing about drinking with hyperhidrosis. When my sweaty hands were at their worst, I actually found drinking a few beers to be helpful. When I’d drink a little, my hands actually seemed to dry up. I attributed this to the alcohol relaxing me and helping my anxiety induced perspiration. Turned out I was VERY WRONG.

Alcohol dehydrates your body at first. That’s why you find yourself going to the bathroom so much when you drink. Your body is flushing out all of its fluids. However, this is only the first stage. After that, your body temperature begins to climb causing the acceleration of fluids to be flushed from your sweat pores as well.

Now, let’s talk about what you SHOULD be eating and drinking…

Things to Consume:


 Drink Plenty of Water – So many people get confused by this advice. They think if they drink more water, they’ll have that much more to sweat out. Actually, drinking lots of cool water will lower your internal body temperature, keeping the sweat at bay. I recommend at least 8 big glasses of water a day. Others suggest even more. I know this advice might be hard to swallow (yes pun intended – sorry :) .

The thought of trading your excessive sweating problem for a case of persistent urination isn’t ideal. However, you’ll need to compromise a few extra bathroom breaks to manage your hyperhidrosis.


Sage Tea – Sage Tea contains very high levels of tannic acid ( a natural astringent). By drinking tea, even hot tea, you’ll fill your body with this natural antiperspirant and prevent sweating from the inside out. It’s a systemic approach towards controlling hyperhidrosis. I will say, however, you’ll want to drink about two cups a day for at least a week to start reaping the benefits. Try it out.


Fruits – They’ll help you stop sweating AND they’re incredibly healthy. It’s a win-win. Fruits contain about 80% water. This attributes to their cooling effect. Get a healthy amount of fruit everyday (I’m a green apple maniac myself) and feel the results fast. I recommend at least 4 servings of fruit every day.


Olive Oil – Your body requires almost no effort to digest olive oil and this is where the power lies. By substituting olive oil in your diet, you’ll be using your digest system more efficiently allowing it to create less heat in your body.

Additionally, olive oil is a healthy fat that lowers cholesterol AND blood pressure. Not a bad combo, huh?

These two factors will also cut down on your sweating.


Whole Grains – Trade your normal white bread intake for whole grain bread. By cutting down on your processed sugar, you’ll lose weight which can help quite a bit. But that’s not the real secret of whole grains. They contain loads of B Vitamins which allow your body to function more efficiently, requiring less effort. Less effort means less heat and less heat means less sweating for you.

Other foods that are jam packed with B Vitamins include proteins (fish, eggs, meat, and nuts) and vegetables (avocados, peas, sweet potatoes, carrots).


Calcium – It’s easy enough to integrate into your daily eating regimen. Besides, calcium intake is crucial. You should really be doing this already. Get plenty of orange juice, milk, yogurt, light cheese, beans and spinach to ensure you’re filling up on your required intake.

Calcium helps hyperhidrosis by helping your body cope with stress and nervousness. It’s no surprise that these two emotions are heavily linked with anxiety induced perspiration. Fill up on calcium to cut down on sweat.

So what now?

I know these tips are a bit overwhelming. It takes a LOT of discipline to manage and restrict your diet. Fortunately this isn’t the end of the road for you.

Stopping your excessive sweating is really as simple as knowing EXACTLY what works for your body type. The most effective treatment I’ve found to date – hands down – is Stop Sweating & Start Living.

I’ve been helping people overcome hyperhidrosis for a while now. This product is a proven formula for ending hyperhidrosis no matter where you sweat from.

Rather than spend a whole lot of money on products that might work. Why not start out with one that’s GUARANTEED to work?

2 Essential Oils to Stop Excessive Hand Sweating

Thu, Apr 30, 2009

1 Comment

Excessive hand sweating can be EXTREMELY debilitating socially. I remember going on job interviews and looking up at the potential employer after that first sloppy, wet handshake, thinking, “This interview is already over.”

The problem is hard to understand for people who don’t personally suffer from it. They think you’re always nervous or even place judgments on your hygiene. There’s no doubt, it’s a cruel world out there if you’ve got sweaty hands.

More than likely you suffer from some degree of palmer hyperhidrosis – a condition where hyperactivity in your Sympathetic Nervous System causes sweat glands to fire off perspiration in continuous bursts, no matter what temperature you’re exposed to.

Here you’ll be learning about two very powerful, natural oils that will condition your hands to stay dry for very long amounts of time using gentle astringent properties. So, enough with the introduction. Let’s get your excessive hand sweating under control, shall we?

Geranium Oil

Geranium Oil is extracted from the plant called pelargonium odorantissimum, which belongs to the Geraniaceae family. You can buy it at most health food stores in liquid form. Simply apply a thin layer to your palms and let it air dry. As the oil soaks into your pores, it will immediately go to work, drying your skin and giving your hands a pleasant, fresh smell.

Cypress Oil

Calming and cooling, this oil from the Mediterranean cypress tree is valued for its refreshing and astringent effects. The essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves, twigs and cones of the evergreen tree. You’ll feel the effects instantaneously as perspiration quickly evaporates from your palms AND you feel more relaxed overall. That’s because Cypress Oil has a direct effect on your nervous system. It stimulates calm, serene emotions. The alcohol (10%) in Cypress oil contributes to its drying effect as well.

Try these to solutions out and see if they stop your hand sweating as effectively as they did mine.

How I finally stopped my handsweating PERMANENTLY

 It didn’t take long to put a stop to my sweaty palms once I used these 2 essential oils in combination with an irreplaceable system, appropriately titled “Cure My Sweaty Palms

It’s an ebook that gives you the same step by step treatment plan that I followed to end my own excessive hand sweating in just over a week with no relapse whatsoever.

The plan works! PLAIN and SIMPLE it gets the job done! I highly recommend you try the sweaty palms remedy right now by CLICKING HERE.

How to Stop Blushing

how to stop blushing

Blushing crushes your confidence. It’s been proven over and over again. The psychological effects of a persistent blushing problem can really affect you mentally after time. Soon enough, you begin to blush at just the thought that you might possibly blush. The redness becomes perpetual because anticipating your embarrassing complexion actually CAUSES the blushing to occur.

It’s a frustrating cycle for anyone who struggles with the self-consciousness brought on by this disorder. After a while, you really start to feel defeated by blushing. Perhaps the hardest part is finding a treatment that works fast. The fact is, blushing is triggered internally, unaffected by external treatments.

It’s not like excessive sweating where you just apply a topical treatment or condition your skin using an at home alternative remedy. Therefore, the solution to this problem must be attacked from a mental standpoint to be most effective. There are physical treatments for blushing as well but over 90% of people who suffer from this disorder (that means you) CAN overcome it using the exercises below.

Here, you’ll learn 6 very effective treatments for facial blushing. The tactics take practice to perfect. However, if you want to REALLY stop blushing permanently, you’ll want to learn and implement these exercises as soon as possible. Let’s get started and put an end to this embarrassing problem!

Building Your Confidence is the first Step!

Do you know what the number one cause of blushing is? Shyness! A lot of people resign to the fact that their lack of self confidence has doomed them to a life of continuously red appearance. But it doesn’t have to be this way!

What I mean by that is, your thought will shift from your own insecurities to your own strengths. Self-consciousness is what brings the redness out. You feel like all eyes are on you. If you’re not proud of yourself, the feelings of embarrassment and shame will take over and brighten your complexion in no time.
Here are some GREAT ways to boost your confidence.

Start a hobby or gain a new skill
Self improvement is one of the best ways to feel good about you. Get into the habit of taking on a new skill to master. It’s this process of growing and expanding your horizons that empowers your confidence.

Mastering a skill will transcend into a feeling that you can do anything in life. When you overcome one obstacle or learning curve, you’ll build faith in your ability to tackle whatever comes your way.

Join an online community for blushing sufferers
Finding other people who also suffer from facial blushing will give you a nice comfort level with your problem. Accepting your blushing is an important part of building confidence because you need to learn to love EVERY part of yourself – including this perceived “flaw”.

Online communities bring a sense that you’re not alone and that you’re completely normal (and you are btw :) .

Remember, if you do join an online community that helps with facial blushing, you want to engage in positive conversations about blushing. Try not to just lament about how it’s ruined your life. Instead, brainstorm with others on different tricks you can use to overcome it.

A great one that I use is called SocialPhobiaWorld.com.

Exercise and Eat right
Build self esteem with a pumped up image. Exercising is about more than just getting ripped. You’ll have renewed energy and a sense of accomplishment after every workout. Your health should be your number one priority. When you have a consistent exercise regimen, you’ll feel responsible and more positive about your overall demeanor.

Face your fear
Putting yourself in situations everyday that you KNOW will make you blush is a hard but powerful way to overcome your problem. Here’s how it’ll go down. You’ll basically put yourself in front of people and social situations that you know will freak you out. It works best if it’s in front of people you don’t know or won’t have to see very often.

Then you force yourself to hang out knowing that you’ll get red in the face. It’ll be a way that you can practice blushing in front of people on a regular basis. Instead of fighting to hide it , feel the embarrassment of it. Constantly punish yourself by exposing yourself to this uncomfortable encounter.

If you’re practicing positive thinking exercises, in time you’ll learn to accept and even disregard you blushing reaction.

The funny thing about blushing is that once you stop really caring about it, it tends to go away on its own. The real trick is learning to let go of your fear and take a “whatever” kind of attitude about your appearance. Vanity needs to go out the window. You are who you are – and that’s a quality you need to love and embrace.

Therapy
If you have trouble making friends or even forcing yourself into social situations, it’s time to start speaking with a therapist. Get to the bottom of where you shyness and low self-esteem derives from.

Therapy is a wonderful way to learn how to love yourself again. Nurturing your emotions and living without fear is the only way to enjoy life to the fullest.

A licensed therapist won’t judge you. Your conversations are kept confidential. You have a partner in overcoming your blushing. Take advantage of a third party to gain a new perspective on your life and your concerns. Your perspective, after all, is your reality. Get a new perspective on life and you can transform your life any way you wish!

Meditate On It
Spend 10-15 minutes a day (before bedtime may be most convenient) where you can sit upright and meditate on being in a situation that makes you blush.

Mentally construct the circumstance that you KNOW causes the reaction and practice accepting your emotions. Really, try to live through the blushing in your mind. It takes some focus on your part.

The idea here is to practice a controlled response to your emotions. Rationalize your blushing and figure out how to mentally move past it. Once you accept the possibility of your blushing without self-consciousness, the blushing will stop happening to begin with.

A Step by Step PROVEN WAY to Stop Blushing

So, what’s the fastest way to get over a chronic blushing disorder? I get this question a LOT! After doing a ton of homework and months of research, far and away, the best way to end this problem is to download a copy of The “Stop Blushing -Audio Book” by CLICKING HERE

4 Powerful Herbal Remedies for Sweating

Sun, Apr 19, 2009

7 Comments

Today, I’ve got some exciting new for you. You’re about to learn 4 little known herbal remedies for sweating that are sure to alleviate the perspiration where all other deodorants and treatments have failed.

When I first found these 4 herbal remedies for sweating and started implementing them, the effects were nearly instantaneous. Within the first hour (one of them within just minutes) the sweating was stifled and I was dry throughout the day.

Fortunately, for you, if you’ve been searching endlessly for a way to stop YOUR excessive sweating, you’ve stumbled upon the Holy Grail. Here, I’ll be teaching you about these easy to use herbal treatments. I’ll show you where to get them, how to use them and then after that…

Well, after that, all you need to do is take action and try them out. Let’s get started and
stop your pouring perspiration!

First, let me just give you a quick background about myself…

My excessive sweating plagued me through MOST of my life. It wasn’t until a little over 5 years ago that I really started getting a handle on it. It took some time though.

During the long 20+ year battle with sweating, I was looking for ANY possible solution out there. I mean, granted, due to my lack of knowledge at the time, I wasn’t familiar with half of the alternatives available so most of my efforts were just repeated on treatments that didn’t work the first time around anyway.

In later years, I’d spend hours surfing the net, looking for that ONE rare alternative that had escaped me. I used to just pray that at any moment I’d find it. And then…it happened.

When it came to dealing with my excessive sweating, I always thought traditional medicine was the best way. And by the way, when I say medicine, I’m talking about prescription deodorants like Drysol, Certain Dri, prescription drugs like Robinol or the like.

I was always afraid to try prescriptions though because of the awful side effects (cotton mouth, overheating, irritation, headaches, etc.). Clinical and prescription deodorants did give me some relief but again, they irritated my skin and I was never fond of the idea that I’d need to use them continuously throughout my life.

So one day, I learned about the 4 herbal remedies for sweating that aided in the elimination of my hyperhidrosis and they are listed for you here. You can pick up all of them at most organic markets, drug stores or health food stores.

So, let’s start with the first one, witch hazel…

  1. Witch Hazel
    The bark and leaves of the witch hazel plant are extracted into a powerful astringent which can be applied in liquid form to the skin. If you look closely at the ingredients of many aftershaves and lotions, you may find witch hazel to be one of the components.

    Traditionally, the herb was used to treat insect bites and even bruises but over the years it was discovered to eliminate sweating as well.

    Witch Hazel will be especially effective for you if have facial sweating. This was where this herb REALLY came in and saved the day for me. Facial sweating, after all, is super hard to hide. It’s out in the open and you can only dab it with a handkerchief so many times before you start to lose your mind.

    You also can’t just roll a deodorant onto your face so this is where witch hazel really comes in handy. Using a cotton ball, apply a thin layer of the witch hazel oil to your face and watch its astringent properties go to work. Your skin may initially get a little dry as it dissolves all the oil on your skin but later, as it goes to work, you’ll find that those beads of perspiration you get on your face won’t make their daily visit.

    Of course, witch hazel can be applied to more places on your skin than just your face. Personally though, I found this herbal remedy most effective for my facial sweating.

  2. Burdock
    This herb safely manages excessive sweating by eliminating excessive fluids through other means rather than the sweat pores. It redirects sweating fluids through the lymph nodes, kidneys and bowels instead.

    Here’s a little warning about burdock. It’s pretty nasty to have as a tea. Burdock is BITTER. Once sip of burdock tea and you’ll be puckering your lips in a grimace for sure.

    So, what do you do? Well, you can take it as a “tincture”. What’s a tincture? It’s a fancy word for an alcoholic extract. Most health food stores sell burdock in this form so it’s easy enough to pick up. Burdock works from the inside out. Take this extract for a few days and you’ll notice the difference for sure.

  3. Astragalus
    This herb, native to northeast China, has mild diuretic properties and plays a role in balancing your sweat response. Here’s the only problem with it.

    Depending on your specific sweat problem, it can decrease or even possibly increase your sweating. You’ll need to test it out to see for yourself. Astragalus has a mild, sweet taste, making it a suitable choice for tea.

    You can also dissolve it in your favorite drink. Its active compounds are the flavonoids that give its roots and flowers their yellow color. Give this a shot and see what you come up with.

  4. Tea Tree Oil
    This one is exceptionally effective for foot sweating. Plus, it’s additionally an antifungal so if you’ve got foot fungus, tea tree oil will knock that out as well.

    Just apply a thin layer to your hands and feet to mitigate the sweating. The oil has astringent properties which will dry out the skin. Start with just a little bit to determine how much you’ll need.

    As with any topical, you’ll want to be on the lookout for irritation and discontinue use if you notice any. Most people find tea tree oil to be the gentlest of the herbal remedies mentioned here.

Acupuncture for Hyperhidrosis

acupuncture for hyperhidrosis
If you’ve been having trouble relieving your excessive sweating with conventional methods like clinical strength deodorants or even more advanced treatments such as Iontophoresis, then Acupuncture for hyperhidrosis may be your next step.

Hyperhidrosis Acupuncture originated in Asia in the form of Chinese medicine. Oftentimes, holistic medicine like this is overlooked by modern western medicine and may be worth pursuing before attempting surgery or prescription medications.

I’ve tested it out for a couple of months and can attest to the palpable difference in my sweating. Surprisingly, I found Acupuncture to be a VERY powerful solution for controlling my sweating.
And, I’m not the only one either!

Clinical studies for this hyperhidrosis treatment have been proven very effective for MANY sufferers worldwide.

Acupuncture is the science of stimulating pressure points across the anatomy using a number of techniques. It involves the application of pressure points through penetration of the skin using metallic needles. You’re probably already familiar with the concept.

So, what does Hyperhidrosis Acupuncture feel like?

The needles are hair thin and it’s really completely painless, despite how it must sound to have lots of needles on your body. When the needles are first inserted, it’s done through a tiny metallic tube.

The needle penetrates the top layer of skin and just idles back and forth gently.

Some say it’s almost a gentle tingling sensation, when the needles first enter.

However, I don’t want to mislead you. There have been clinical studies for acupuncture that report some patient discomfort or even soreness the next day.

That said, when you do opt for Hyperhidrosis Acupuncture, it’s important to choose a licensed practitioner very carefully.

Oftentimes, you can find one in your medical insurance network (on their website) based on ratings and feedback from other patients.

Also, there are so many medical physicians that are additionally licensed in Hyperhidrosis Acupuncture. If your doctor isn’t licensed for acupuncture treatment, I’m sure he or she can make a recommendation to a trusted practitioner.


About the Procedure…
Western medicine’s interpretation of Hyperhidrosis Acupuncture goes as follows…

Acupoints (where the needles are inserted) are based on sensory nerves of the skin called dermatomes. When the needles are placed on these dermatomes, it has a direct affect on the body’s nervous system.

It’s interesting to mention that the dermatomes for Hyperhidrosis Acupuncture are aligned with many of the dermatomes penetrated to relieve anxiety and stress through acupuncture. Clinical studies for acupuncture that have followed this technique, further prove that our emotions are direct triggers of hyperhidrosis sweating.

Many of these dermatomes also control internal body temperature by having direct communication with the sympathetic system in the body.

Hyperhidrosis Acupuncture treatments may vary depending on the degree and location of the hyperhidrosis symptoms. For example, someone with palmar or plantar hyperhidrosis may receive Hyperhidrosis Acupuncture treatment right on the hands and feet as well as sympathetic dermatome nerves in the chest or ribcage.

In other cases, the acupuncturist may apply a more generalized treatment of Hyperhidrosis Acupuncture. It really depends on the practitioner and your response to the treatments.

Although Hyperhidrosis Acupuncture can provide relief on the first visit, it usually takes 2 or 3 weeks to become fully effective.

My Experience…

I found that while receiving this treatment, I felt overall more relaxed and I definitely attribute that to my decrease in anxiety induced sweating.

Were there physical changes made with the stimulation of my “dermatones”? -– NO IDEA. :)

I can only tell you what I felt and yes, I did feel some improvement.
After my own personal test with this treatment, I was curious as to what others have experienced.

I spoke with many hyperhidrosis sufferers who have said that Hyperhidrosis Acupuncture helps phenomenally with their anxiety driven sweating.

It’s not so cut and dry though. There were MANY people who told me it wasn’t worth the effort and relief was minimal. Your own results may vary of course.

It’s very important that your expectations are realistic with this treatment. Generally speaking, Hypherhidrosis Acupunture will be most effective at stopping your stress and emotionally induced perspiration.

It’s considered a more holistic treatment, but its results are profoundly respected in the medical community. Don’t underestimate how beneficial this treatment option may be for you.

My personal opinion…

Although Acupuncture for hyperhidrosis has been shown as a great treatment for most people, it just didn’t do enough for me. I’ve used the methods taught in Stop Sweating & Start Living for years now and haven’t looked back since.

Listen, I make it my business to learn about as many PROVEN hyperhidrosis treatments as possible. I live for this stuff because I know what a toll it took on my own life for so long.

How to Remove Sweat Stains from Clothes

Wed, Apr 15, 2009

how to remove sweat stains from clothes

It’s just something that comes with hyperhidrosis territory. If your sweating is bad, chances are you’ve got some stubborn sweat stains on your light clothing.

I remember before using Stop Sweating & Start Living, my armpit sweat stains were so bad, I was buying white tee shirts like they were disposables.

It definitely took a toll on my wallet at the time.

Maybe you know where I’m coming from?

You get those gross yellow stains on your underarms and normal bleach or detergent just can phase them out during a normal laundry cycle.

It’s true, most pit stains are just way too tenacious to go away with regular washing methods.

That’s probably why I’ve been getting so many requests from readers on how to remove sweat stains from clothes.

Well, you asked for it and YOU got it!

Here, I’ll be outlining the most effective ways to get your shirts looking like new again and save you some cash on your undershirt shopping list.

So, let’s get started with the first method and get those pit stains out!

1. Using the Right Detergents

Use liquid laundry detergent containing either oxygenated ingredients or ones that remove most protein-based stains and apply it directly to the sweat stains. Then, with your fingers, gently rub the detergent deep into the shirt fibers to cover the entire stain. Let it soak into the material for about half an hour. Wash in the laundry afterwards as you normally would.

2. Hydrogen Peroxide

This one is for white articles of clothing only. Hydrogen peroxide breaks down the protein residue in sweat stains. The results? Applying hydrogent peroxide on white clothing keep your garments from turning dark or yellowish over the armpit area over time.

Here’s what you do…

Soak the stain in a half and half mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide for half an hour. After that, wash it out with cool water and let your shirt air dry. If the stain is still visible, repeat the treatment with higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide.

I love this treatment because the hydrogent peroxide prevents that weird texture that sweat stains can give your clothing.

You know…

I’m talking about when sweat stains are so bad, the underarms of your tee shirts feel like construction paper – no good!

3. Baking Soda Paste

If you’ve been following my tips up to now, you’re probably sick of hearing me praise the power of baking soda!  - hey what can I say?  It’s the swiss army knife of sweat solutions! 

Well, I have one more baking soda treatment for you – removing sweat stains. Yes, it works and yes, like most of this stuff, I’ve tested it out at home.

Here’s how to make baking soda eliminate your own sweat stains…

Mix a bit of baking soda with water until you have a thick paste. Then use a toothbrush to gently brush the paste into your clothing’s sweat stains.

Leave the paste saturating the stain for 20 minutes, then rinse it out with cold water and throw your garment into the laundry on a cold cycle with an oxygenating detergent.

Just a warning, sometimes the baking soda can leave a residue on clothing after the first cycle of washing so try to save this treatment for light clothing. It’s not that big a deal – sweat stains are usually more prevalent on light clothing anyway.

4. Sunshine and Spray

This one builds off of the original recommendation, choosing a detergent with oxygenated ingredients. Although, you can really add this extra step to whatever treatment you choose.

This solution does require a sunny day, so it’s not always an alternative. However, if the sun is cooperative, here’s what you do…

After applying your approved detergent (or hydrogen peroxide) to the sweat stains, lay your article of clothing out in the sun. You can hang it up outside as well.

Keep the stain wet by spraying it with water. As the moisture evaporates, the stain will evaporate with it. After 3 or 4 hours of leaving the garment out and spraying intermittently (yes, this is a little bit of a chore), throw the article of clothing in the laundry on a cold water cycle. Wash it out and wear your perfectly unstained outfit.

5. White Vinegar

White vinegar works wonders on colored articles of clothing. Really, it’s the first treatment you should try if you’re trying to remove sweat stains from anything other than white or off-white garments.

You want to create a solution of two cups of water and four tablespoons of white vinegar. Start with that. It’s diluted enough to protect colors and contentrated enough to go to work.

Apply the diluted white vinegar solution directly to sweat stains before washing in the laundry to kill all offensive sweat odor, prevent changes in the texture of your clothing due to sweat AND keep colors vibrant. (is this starting to sound like a “Cheer” commercial or what? ha.)

How to Prevent Sweat Stains Forever…

Do you REALLY want to implement these sweat stain removal techniques every week? Wouldn’t it be so much easier if you didn’t have to deal with them at all?

Stop Sweating & Start Living is hands down the fastest way to go from wet, sweaty mess to hyperhidrosis success in just two weeks. I’ve never been as passionate about a sweat treatment plan as this one. Mike Ramsey simply NAILS IT!

If you’ve been following my advice for any length of time now, you know I’m a believer in using trial and error to find effective sweat fighting tactics into your hyperhidrosis arsenal. This one is GUARANTEED to work.
