subject: 4 Methods On How To Stop Sweating [print this page] Are you like some people who always seem to be sweating? If you are reading this you probably want to learn how to stop sweating. Excessive sweating is called hyperhidrosis. For me it was very embarrassing. If you have it too you are not alone because 1 in 30 people have this condition.
Several methods can be used to help stop the sweating. Some are better than others. The first method that comes to mind usually is anti per spirant sprays or sticks. But the problem for me wasn't only my armpits, my hands were always sweaty as well. It was so embarrassing to shake hands with people. And besides, the anti perspirants never completely controlled my under arm sweat anyway.
Most people have tried anti-perspirants but these people usually complained about the fact that they needed to put the anti-perspirants on every few hours to ensure to stop too much perspiration. This is the reason why most people still look for other ways after they have tried the anti-perspirants.
Second, there are oral medications. Your dermatologist can prescribe you oral medications. These can stop the excessive perspiration as long as you take them as prescribed by the doctor. If you forget to take the oral medication, the excessive sweating will be back. The usual complaint of people who take oral medications are the different side effects.
The side effects can include blurry vision, dry mouth, diarrhea and nausea. So if you are looking for how to stop sweating and can tolerate the side effects these can work, but you would have to remain on them forever to have long lasting relief.
The third approach to stopping the sweating is to have botox injections. These can have side effects as well, and also painful. They are expensive and only last from 3 to 6 months. The cost varies widely from $500 to over $2000 for each treatment if done to the underarms. But on the positive side this is a very good way on how to stop sweating.
Those are the three most common ways to answer the question of how to stop sweating. There is a fourth method that works very well and is inexpensive compared to botox. Its also natural with no side effects.
