subject: Controlling Excessive Sweating On Your Treadmill [print this page] If you enjoy running on your treadmill at home, chances are, no matter how many fans you have on you, you have found that you sweat like a pig in a confined space. This problem can be annoying, embarrassing, and even disgusting.
If you are interested in thwarting this problem in a natural way, here are some options which you can try at home, which are safe and effective. Everyone is different, however, and what may work for some, may not necessarily work for you, and vice versa.
The first thing you can try is a good facial scrub. Whether you sweat on your back or underneath your arms, one of the first things that you may want to think about doing is using facial scrub on the area where you sweat.
This will often provide complete relief to those who experience excessive sweating problems, so it is probably one of the first methods that you may want to try. It exfoliates your skin, which will help to unclog your pores.
Due to this, you may experience more sweating at first. However, after all of the toxins which may have been trapped inside your pores are released, you may notice that how frequently and how much you sweat will reduce.
Do not use a scrub more than three times a week, as it can make your skin too raw, and prevent skin cell re-growth. It is a well-known fact that baby powder can help assist you with your sweating problem.
Cornstarch works much the same way that baby powder does. Cornstarch and baby powder work to absorb the sweat and oils on your skin, which will help to control it, and control the effects, such as breakouts.
While it may not necessarily stop you from sweating, it is a great way to control this very common problem. You can use cornstarch or baby powder on pretty much any area of your body that you experience a lot of sweating from, whether it be your underarms, your back, or any other place.
Believe it or not, turnip juice is known to be very effective for reducing excessive sweat. The way that it works is by reducing the amount of activity that goes on inside the sweat glands.
The concept is quite easy - all that you need to do is grate the turnip up and squeeze it. Then, apply it underneath your armpits, or wherever else it is that you have been sweating.
Some people find that it is also effective to drink turnip juice, but the preference is all yours. This is an all natural solution to your sweating problem.
Baking soda is also known to work much the same way that cornstarch or baby powder would, by absorbing the sweat. It also may help by unclogging your skin's pores, which will eventually help your body release all of the toxins that may be trapped inside the pores.
It is important to make sure that you do not overuse baking soda, as doing so may be bad for the skin. Only using it once to twice a week is probably your best option.
Although you may not realize it, chances are, certain foods that you are eating may be the main reason that you sweat excessively. There are certain foods which are known to be "sweat foods," or in other words, foods that can cause you to sweat excessively.
Some of the most well known sweat foods include garlic, onions, spices, and caffeine. While eating foods that are high in water content, such as fruits and vegetables, may not necessarily reduce perspiration, they may help you reduce the awful body odor that is often experience when you do sweat excessively.
Simply apply lemon juice to the area which sweats excessively, whether it is from the actual fruit or from a bottle of pre-squeezed lemon juice. This method is typically used for those who cannot seem to eliminate the body odor that is associated with excessive sweating.
The reason that it is believed to work so well is because the acid found in lemon juice is known to kill the odor. Lemon juice is not, however, known to end a sweating problem.
As you can see, there are so many different all-natural options which can help to control your problem with minimum expense and difficulty. Try out a few different ones and you may find a permanent solution to your problem!
