The most widely used remedy to stop excessive underarm perspiration is to use a deodorant or antiperspirant. What’s the difference? Will they really work? Putting it simply – the antiperspirant reduces the sweat and the deodorant reduces the smell. For some folks, the smell produced by excessive sweating is the major problem. It’s bad enough that you may get drenching wet from sweat, but the smell is just adding insult to injury!
OK – Where does this rank smell come from? Human sweat is basically odorless until it is fermented by bacteria. Bacteria thrive in hot, humid environments. The human armpit is among the most consistently warm areas on the surface of the body, and sweat glands provide the moisture, hence the perfect breeding ground for fermentation and smell.
This is what finally worked for me to tame my excessive underarm perspiration.
Here is an interesting fact: When adult armpits are washed with pH basic soaps, the skin loses its normal acid characteristic (pH 4.5 – 6), raising the pH to become basic. Bacteria thrive in high pH or base environments. Creating such an environment in the armpit makes it more susceptible to bacteria production. Deodorants are usually alcohol-based. Alcohol initially stimulates sweating, but may also “temporarily” kill bacteria.
Unfortunately, deodorants do little to combat the production of smelly bacteria; they just try to “cover them up” with an endless variety of fragrances. Deodorants have never worked for me. In fact I remember using some that seemed to make the production of smelly bacteria even worse!
Alright, what about antiperspirants? Modern antiperspirants typically contain aluminum chloride, aluminum chlorohydrate, or aluminum-zirconium compounds. Note that the active ingredient is aluminum, which has been shown to be toxic in humans. There is still quite a bit of debate on the long term effects of Aluminum in humans, and I won’t go off on a tangent about that here, however I would suggest that you do a search on “Aluminum toxicity” to weigh the facts yourself, however The FDA warns that “people with renal dysfunction may not be aware that the daily use of antiperspirant drug products containing aluminum may put them at a higher risk because of exposure to aluminum in the product.” The agency warns people with renal dysfunction to consult a doctor before using antiperspirants containing aluminum.
Renal dysfunction is a problem with the kidney that reduces the body’s ability to adequately retain essential nutrients and clear out toxic substances from the blood.
How do antiperspirants reduce excessive underarm perspiration? Aluminum based complexes react with the electrolytes in sweat to form a gel plug in the duct of the sweat gland. The plugs prevent the gland from excreting liquid.
So, are antiperspirants effective? Well, if you reduce the sweat output, you will reduce the bacteria production as well, so this is the most widely used solution, but at what cost? Remember the reference in one of my earlier posts to your body being like an engine that needs an efficient cooling system? You are essentially plugging off part of your radiator when you jam up your sweat gland ducts.
Many people have also complained that using antiperspirants have caused them to develop allergic reactions, cysts, and redness. I had this same problem several years ago when I was trying to find an effective antiperspirant that I could live with.
I’ve found a much better and safer way to control this underarm sweat problem.

I have found that diet plays an important part in dealing with the problem of excessive underarm sweat. Making some easy changes can produce very significant results.
Overweight and obese people sweat much more than normal weight people because fat acts as an insulator that raises their core temperature. Therefore, reducing your weight will increase your cooling efficiency and reduce your sweating.
See the guide that finally helped me to cure the excessive underarm sweat problem
There are also certain foods to avoid which are known to produce excessive sweating. Its true- there are eating and drinking habits that encourage sweating and there are habits that discourage it. Use the following list and you WILL see results.
Food and Drink to Avoid:
Garlic
Onions
Caffeine – It’s found in coffee, tea, cola drinks, energy drinks, cocoa and chocolate, nonprescription drugs and prescription drugs, weight-control aids. Caffeine is a stimulant, which raises blood pressure, increasing circulation and heartbeat. Remember, your body is like an engine that runs all the time. Caffeine decreases your engine cooling ability.
Spicy Foods – Speeds up your metabolism (much like caffeine).
Alcohol – Increases your body temperature causing the acceleration of fluids to be flushed from your sweat pores.
Food and Drink to Seek:
Lots of Water – Don’t over-look this!
Sage Tea – It’s a natural antiperspirant and prevents sweating from the inside out.
Fruits – Very important. 4 servings a day is great.
Olive Oil – Makes your digestive system more efficient.
Whole Grains – Contains B Vitamins which allow your body to function more efficiently.
Other good B Vitamin sources: Proteins (fish, eggs, meat, and nuts) and vegetables (avocados, peas, sweet potatoes, carrots).
Calcium – Orange juice, milk, yogurt, light cheese, beans and spinach. Calcium helps hyperhidrosis by helping your body cope with stress and nervousness.
You will find these tips very effective for reducing the dreaded underarm sweat problem. However, if you have used these life style changes and are still having problems, have a look at the exact method that I used to stop my underarm sweat problem: How to stop excessive underarm sweat.

What causes sweat, and what are some reasons for excessive armpit sweat? I found that an understanding of the causes of excessive perspiration was the beginning of being able to solve this annoying problem.
Well, there are of course perfectly valid reasons that sweat is produced by our bodies. Sweat has two main functions in our systems – primarily to aid in getting rid of body heat, and also for excreting toxins. Think of your body like an engine that runs continuously, and like all engines, it produces heat. The more you use your muscles, such as during work or exercise, the more heat is produced.
In order to regulate our temperature and keep us from over heating, the body produces sweat. Water from our blood absorbs the heat and rises to the surface of the skin via the sweat glands so that it can evaporate and create the needed cooling effect.
See what method I found best for controlling excessive armpit sweat.
How much you sweat is affected primarily by age, gender, genetics, fitness level, and the environment. Our bodies have between two and five million sweat glands and it has been found that women tend to sweat less and begin to sweat at higher temperatures compared to men. In addition, tests show that people sweat less as they grow older, which means elderly people cannot tolerate heat as well as younger people.
So, it is essential that our bodies sweat in order to operate efficiently, but what about excessive armpit sweating? (axillary hyperhidrosis)
Under normal conditions, a part of our brain called the hypothalamus regulates sweat related functions, and sends sensory signals to the sweat nerves. These nerves, which are part of the sympathetic nervous system located in the chest cavity, send these signals to the sweat glands, causing them to produce sweat.
Hyperhidrosis is produced when the sweat glands disobey or misinterpret those signals and then produce great amounts of sweat that then seek outlets through your underarms, face, feet and palms.
Keep in mind that high levels of stress can also be responsible for excessive sweating, so if you have a lot of stress in your life, finding ways to reduce the stress will also produce a reduction in your sweat problem.
There are quite a few remedies for controlling excessive armpit sweat. They range from mild to wild, but the most effective and easy ways that I discovered begins with keeping your body clean with regular daily showers. Keeping your skin clean and able to “breathe” enables your cooling system to function more efficiently.
This is the guide that worked for me to
really put an end to excessive armpit sweat. Check it out for yourself and I
think you will discover how it can change your life as it did for me.

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.
