Natural Ways to Reduce Sweating

Hyperhidrosis is the excessive sweating of the head, face, hands, armpits and feet. The sweating is erratic, unpredictable and uncontrollable. It is not dependent on hot temperature climates or conditions.

The following tips may help alleviate hyperhidrosis.

Drink more water to lower your body temperature
Drinking more water cools your core temperature and will alleviate some of the excessive sweating.

Drink green tea or sage tea at night
Tea contains an astringent property which will dry out oils and prevent excess moisture from escaping the skin. It essentially drys you from the inside out. In addition to helping your complexion, green tea will neutralize many of the toxins that create the pungent odor in sweat.

Avoid spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine
Onions, garlic, curry, coffee and a whole host of other ingredients are powerful triggers for hyperhidrosis sweating. Cut out some of these cultprits to see gradual but noticeable results. Add leafy greens and tea into your diet for a positive effect on sweating.

Soak in sage tea
Fill a large bowl with room temperature water, put a couple of sage tea bags in the bowl and let the tea dissolve. Soak your hands for 15 minutes in the bowl. Do this soak every day for 5 days to obtain noticeable results.

The sage tea will act as an astringent to dry the skin and prevent excessive sweating for many days to follow. If your hands tan from the tea, wash them with anti-bacterial soap to remove the sage tea residue.
