Hyperhidrosis affects about 1%of the population. It can affect people on different areas (like sweating underarms, hands, feet and face).
There are many axillary hyperhidrosis treatments available, and the right one for you will depend largely on your severity of sweating. They include simple treatments like deodorants, to complex surgeries and botox injections.
Baking soda can actually be a good natural remedy for axillary hyperhidrosis. It is more effective than deodorants, and causes less irritation as well. It absorbs moisture very well and also keeps odor away from your armpits. Apply baking soda only when your armpits are dry.
Armpit odor is usually caused when the armpit sweat dries on the armpit hairs. The bacteria in the armpits release toxins that feed on the sweat. Therefore you should shave often to keep armpit odor away from you.
Maintaining your personal hygiene is also important to treat axillary hyperhidrosis. Try to bathe at least once a day, and use anti bacterial soaps to clean out the bacteria in your underarms.
If you sweat excessively often, you should drink more water to replace the water and minerals that are lost from your body when you sweat. By drinking more water, you are also maintaining a lower toxin level in your body, and can reduce the intensity of your body odor.
Try to wear natural fibres like cotton and linen instead of non natural fibres or polyester clothes. Natural fibres provide more ventilation for your underarm area and make it cooler. There is also less likelihood of body odor. By wearing non-natural fibres, you are restricting the airflow in your body, and this tends to make sweating worse in the underarm area.
The first treatment method you should try is by using natural remedies. It involves using readily available products at home that are applied every morning and night. You can also find out more about this method by following the link below.
