My excessive sweating story and how I cured it
by Karen Douglas
What are the causes of hyperhidrosis and how do I treat it?
Someone who has never had an excessive sweating problem will find it hard to fathom the embarrassment and utter dismay that comes with this disorder. Everyday situations become awkward and trying to someone who is self-conscious of the way they may look to others.
Being in close proximity with others can be challenging for someone who suffers from hyperhidrosis. Anxiety levels may rise in response to being uncomfortable in different social, professional, personal settings and therefore can make matters even worse.
Don't loose hope because there is a natural cure for hyperhidrosis. People have been cured from this disorder in less than 2 weeks.
If you visit your doctor you will discover there are a multitude of different medical treatments for hyperhidrosis. Of course the best solutions always come in the form of natural treatments, some doctors may try high strength antiperspirants as a first line of defense. Others may try alternative procedures like surgery to remove your overactive sweat glands.
The problem with prescription strength antiperspirants is the link between such diseases as breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Aluminum chloride, the ingredient found in most of these products, is used to clog the pores and keep the sweat glands from producing as much sweat.
This can pose a problem because of the nature of our bodies and our skin specifically is to "take in" and absorb what ever we put on it. Too much Aluminum chloride in the body can wreck havoc on internal organs and the lymphatic system.
Using a prescription strength antiperspirant is not a "cure" for excessive sweating. At best it may only lighten the amount of sweat produced by your overactive sweat glands.
Another alternative a doctor may recommend is a type of surgery called Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy. This is extremely expensive and most insurance companies will not cover this type of surgery. And even it is not a total cure and after surgery patients can experience compensatory sweating.
This simply means that the sweating that was eliminated from one area of the body now causes other parts of the body to sweat much more than normal.
The good news is you don't have to live like this any longer!

Baking Soda Cures for Sweating
There are TONS of baking soda cures out there. Baking soda is used for everything. It puts out fires, it cleans your teeth, it cleans dishes, it cleans clothes, it gets rid of smells and yes… it even discourages sweating!
Here’s my quick, disclaimer for those of you out there with severe hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Baking soda is not some magical cure-all. However, when used properly, you’ll TOTALLY feel a difference.
I’m going to give you a couple of baking soda cures for sweating that you’ll definitely find useful.
First, let me just really quickly explain why baking soda helps eliminate sweating so effectively…
WHY IT WORKS - Baking soda is an alkaline and your body’s sweat is an acid. When the two combine, gas is formed, causing the instant evaporation of the sweat.
So, it’s not that baking soda blocks the sweat from escaping your pores. Instead, it conditions your skin to quickly dry up as soon as the sweating begins.
When you apply the baking soda cures for sweating below, it’s the residue of the baking soda on the skin that conditions the dryness. The treatments work way better if you apply them consecutively for days on end so be consistent about it.
Baking Soda for Hand Sweating:
1. You’ll want to fill up a big bowl or two separate aluminum pie pans with warm/hot water and equal parts baking soda. The solution should be very cloudy. The baking soda will gather at the bottom, so be sure to mix it up very thoroughly.
2. Soak your hands for 25 minutes in the solution. It’s important that the water is warm or hot so your pores really open up. You want the baking soda to penetrate your skin. During that time, intermittenly grab the clumps of baking soda at the bottom of the pan or bowl and rub your hands together to really saturate them in the solution.
3. After the 25 minutes are up, your hands will be a little pruney - this is totally normal. Just dry them off with a towel. Don’t wash them off with soap and water if possible. You want to retain the residue of baking soda on your skin. Some people say they have a light powerdy look to the skin after drying them off. The more residue of the solution, the better your results will be.
Here’s what you should expect from the treatment above…
Your hands will definitely feel dry the first 30 minutes after treatment and results should last at least a couple of hours following. If you use this remedy consecutively for 5 days straight, the results can last up to 5 or 6 hours on end.
It’s normal for the skin to feel a tiny bit rubbery directly after treatment. You’ll see what I mean when you try it. Anyway, the goal is to keep them dry, so I’m sure that small side effect won’t bother you.
This cure for hand sweating works best for people with less severe cases of hyperhidrosis although EVERYONE will find some benefit.
If you’re about to go on a date or have an intimate night planned with your significant other, this treatment makes an awesome quick fix.
This next treatment I recommend for ANYONE. It’s well worth trying out.
Baking soda is well known for its odor eliminating effects. That’s because it neutralizes acids and odor causing bacteria in the body. This makes it a perfect bath additive to really give you a wonderful, fresh and dry feeling right out of the tub.
Let me tell you, I never used to take baths in my adult life. I was always a shower kinda guy. Besides, who has the time for a bath?
Well, speaking from a very positive experience using the following treatment, you NEED to make time for a “Baking Soda Bath Blast” at least once a week.
Since implementing this tactic, my overall body sweating haulted drastically.
Have you ever taken a shower and started sweating the moment you got out and began drying off? It’s terribly frustrating, right?
Well, you’ll never have that happen to you with a “Baking Soda Bath Blast”. The treatment will keep you super dry from the moment you step out of the tub. I love it! Plus, baths are just a relaxing experience overall. Here’s how it goes…
The Baking Soda Bath Blast:
1. This treatment works best if you schedule it AFTER a shower. This way you get clean with soap and water first, then you’ll just soak your already clean body in the baking soda solution without needing to wash it off with soap.
2. While you’re in the shower, use a loofah (dry sponge) to exfoliate your skin. Exfoliate your hands, feet, armpits or anywhere else you sweat profusely from. You’re going to do this to allow the baking soda to penetrate your pores more efficiently. Next, you’ll be taking the bath.
3. Fill a bath with warm water (not exceptionally hot) and add 1/2 - 1 cup of baking soda to the tub.
4. Soak for 15 - 20 minutes and make sure to grab any clumps of baking soda gathered at the bottom of the tub, rubbing it into your armpits, hands, feet, chest or back.
Give these two treatments a fair shot. That means at least 5 consecutive days of trying this out. You’ll body will need to acclimate itself to the baking soda before feeling the best results.
