Excessive sweating underarms
Darn, how do you stop sweaty armpits? Yes, everyone sweats and everyone has wanted to stop sweaty armpits at one time or other, but there are those of us who wear our jackets indoors, bring extra shirts to work, and wear layers of underclothing in hope of keeping the sweat stains away. We suffer from excessive sweating underarms. The good news is is that there are ways to stop sweaty armpits from even happening and making excessive sweating underarms a distant bad memory.
Sweaty armpits not only leave unsightly sweat stains but they wash away antiperspirants and deodorants which leaves one smelling like they haven't bathed in months. You know the drill. You've tried pads for your excessive sweating underarms but they are uncomfortable, prone to slipping and still need to be changed too often. You've tried cotton shirts which breathe better, but still get stained and tend to wrinkle more than other types of fabric. I even knew of one guy who waxed under his arms to get rid of the hair and stop sweaty armpits. It helped some but didn't emanate the problem of sweating underarms.
Options To Stop Sweaty Armpits
There are options for excessive sweating underarms and some of them may surprise you. One option is surgery to stop sweaty armpits. No they won't be gouging out any body part to stop sweaty armpits. What they do is locate the nerves that control sweating in your armpits and then clip them. This stops sweaty armpits. A less drastic approach is to locate those same nerves and inject them with Botox which will give you about 3 to 6 months of relief from excessive sweating underarms. Then there are oral medications you can take to reduce sweating and stop sweaty underarms; however, reducing overall sweating can be dangerous to your health.
Natures Way To Stop Sweating Underarms
It is said that if you apply lemon juice to you underarms after you bathe it will reduce sweating underarms, of course you will have to go around all day smelling like a lemonade stand which, I suppose, is better than smelling like sweaty armpits. The next natural solution is talcum powder, again, you will go around all day smelling like a freshly diapered baby. Also there is something disturbing about the smell of talcum powder with a hint of body odor in it and for guys this is just a huge turn off. Then there is the all natural cure that Mike Ramsey used to stop sweaty armpits from even happening
