Natural cures to combat excessive sweating

Excessive sweating, known medically as hyperhidrosis, can be a disruptive and embarrassing condition. There are several natural and home remedy options that can help you stop sweating.

Turnip Juice

Turnip juice can be an effective way to control excessive sweating. Peel a turnip and just pop it in the juicer. Apply the juice directly to your underarms or other areas that sweat a lot, (would anybody do this!) but perhaps worth a try!  It works by reducing the activity level of the sweat glands in the body.

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)

Apple cider vinegar is one of the most well known natural treatments for combating excessive sweating. You can use vinegar as a home remedy for excessive sweating in two ways, internally and externally. According to Stop Sweating, drinking a vinegar-based formula three times a day on an empty stomach---a half hour before or after each meal---can help reduce sweating in a week. To make the formula, mix two teaspoons of honey with two teaspoons of vinegar (the honey will help make the taste more bearable). To eliminate the odour associated with sweating, you can rub apple cider or white vinegar onto the affected areas, which should help dry out your sweat pores. According to How to Stop Sweat, you could also try adding a few drops of vinegar (and/or lime juice) into your bathwater prior to bathing.

Herbal Tea

Herbal teas, particularly those that contain sage, are effective sweat reducers. Sage is high in vitamin B and magnesium, which help de-stimulate or calm the sweat glands.  Drink a cup of sage tea twice daily, preferably in the morning and evening. This tea works to keep the sweat glands from working too hard, reducing the amount of sweat they produce.

Juices

Drinking tomato juice or grape juice can help maintain your body's temperature, and prevent it from overheating. This in turn can help reduce sweating. For best results, try drinking a full glass of either juice each day of the week. Tomato juice can regulate the excessive functions of your sweat glands and can promote healthier skin condition.

Burdock

A herb called Burdock can help reduce excessive sweating. This herb encourages the excretion of bodily fluids in other ways.
