Sweating is a natural way for your body to cool off. Sweat glands located in the dermis (middle) layer of your skin produce liquid that is forced to the top of your skin as your body temperature rises. As this liquid (perspiration) evaporates on your skin’s outer layer, your body temperature cools to normal levels.
Excessive Sweating and Body Odor can be very irritating and embarrassing. Some people suffer from excessive sweating which creates personal problems including body odor and damage of cloths. If you have a problem with excessive sweating – FIRST, read everything about excessive sweating on next page and SECOND, use some home remedies introduced below.
Not all of them can be effective for you but you can select methods which are specifically effective for your body.

Wear natural fabrics, such as cotton. Synthetic fabrics don’t allow your skin to breathe and force the sweat to stay on your skin without evaporating. Natural fibers allow the sweat to wick away from your skin, making it healthier. |
|
 |
Thoroughly dry yourself off when you are done bathing. Pay special attention to your toes, your groin and your armpits, in which bacteria like to breed, causing those distinctive body odors. Dry thoroughly and spray deodorant or talc powder after shower to keep the areas dry. You can also soak cotton wool pads in baking soda and powder the underarms. |
 |
Bathe regularly, using a loofah sponge to thoroughly scrub bacteria away from your body. In hot weather or if you are particularly active, bathe in the morning and the evening. |
|
 |
Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. By drinking plenty of cool liquids, you will easily bring your body temperature down to manageable levels. |
 |
Apply some lemon juice on underarms after you get out of the shower to prevent the body odor. You can also mix some baking soda with lemon juice and rub mixture on underarms. |
|
 |
Slice a potato and wipe it under each clean and dry underarm a few times. Wait for it to dry and then apply deodorant. |
 |
Drinking a glass of tomato juice helps keep sweating at bay. Do this consistently for one week, and then you may reduce your intake into every other day the next week. Then drink when needed. |
|
 |
Stay away from caffeine or alcohol, however, as these can raise body temperatures and promote sweat. |
 |
Avoid spicy foods and odor producing foods like fish and garlic. |
|
 |
Eat food rich in zinc, which has been proven to reduce sweat odors. Zinc rich foods include turkey, whole grains, nuts and legumes. |
 |
Apply apple cider vinegar to eliminate under arm body odor. Apple cider vinegar is one of the most popular home remedies for excessive sweating. It doesn’t work for everyone, but it’s certainly worth a try.
Take two teaspoons of vinegar and 2 teaspoons of honey as well, three times a day on an empty stomach. Do this half an hour before eating or sleeping. |

 |
Cornstarch can be a natural alternative to deodorant. Apply this on wherever you sweat profusely and you’re good to go. |
