If you're after an excessive sweating cure then hopefully after you read this article you may have a solution!

It may also be that you don't know and are trying to find out some details – that's also OK.

A fact that you may be unaware of is that if you do suffer from excessive perspiration then you are not alone. It is estimated that up to 1% of the population has a similar problem.

Getting rid of an excessive perspiration problem is not simple because it depends on whether the sufferer is experiencing mild or excessive symptoms and whether the problem is primary or secondary hyperhidrosis. Let me explain these terms briefly so as you understand what I mean.

Mild or excessive perspiration refers to the degree which a sufferer displays the symptoms. Primary hyperhidrosis usually develops from puberty and secondary hyperhidrosis develops later in life. So there are four potential states that sufferers can be in.

Once the degree of the condition has been identified then the decision can be made as to the best form of treatment. Non Natural Treatments

There are several forms of treatment available. These include, chemical, drugs, surgical and natural.

Chemical treatments can be very severe but also effective. Many sufferers are wary of applying chemicals to their skin because of potential side effects such as allergies. These chemicals include aluminium chloride and methanamine which are often applied as patches.

Drugs treatments again can have side effects and should only be used after advice from a medical practitioner.

Surgical treatment is usually the very last option taken. It involves the removal of nerves that lead to the sweat glands under the armpits for example. Patients that have undergone this treatment often complain of dryness and skin cracking. Natural treatments

Shaving, especially under the arm[its and in the groin area can be very effective. The reason why shaving can be so effective is that the sweat accumulates on the hairs and bacteria then feed on the sweat. The bacteria then discharge toxins which cause the 'familiar underarm odour. Shaving therefore makes it difficult for these bacteria to flourish.

An additional benefit to shaving is that the armpit area will feel less sticky.

Obviously this is only one method and for maximum effectiveness should be used with a combination of other treatments – some of which are outlined below. 2. Showering and Personal Hygiene

It is advisable to either bathe or shower once a day, even under normal conditions. However we are not discussing normal conditions and it's not unknown for excessive sufferers to shower more than 3 times a day.

Where the armpit area has not shaved it's usual to bathe or shower at least two to three times a day as odours, especially in warmer conditions become apparent very quickly.

To be thorough at this stage use anti bacterial soaps as these prevent the bacteria from getting a establishing themselves.

After anti bacterial soap has been applied it is best to clean the area with fresh water to wipe the area clean!

3. Drink Plenty of Water

When you sweat, water and essential minerals are leaching from your body and these need to be replaced. It's important to drink water regularly. Drinking more water helps keep the toxins and waste in you body at a lower level than if you weren't replacing them at all. This means that wastes friendly to the bacteria are effectively being flushed from your body. You will know when your water consumption is just right it's when your urine is clear and odorless. 4. Wear Natural Fibres

One of the main benefits of natural fibres over man made ones is that the air evaporates more easily. Natural fibres such as linen, cotton and in Winter, Wool are best. The garments should be worn so as to provide 'ample space' in the armpit area – for obvious reasons.
