Sweating is a natural physiological function that regulates body temperature and eliminates toxins. Despite this, excessive sweating can create problems, appearing in stressful situations or indicating conditions like diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and even certain cancers.

How to minimize sweating?

Heavy sweating can also result from an improper diet. Avoiding spicy foods, such as chilli peppers, can bring relief. Drinking water and consuming fresh vegetables and fruits, especially tomatoes, are also essential.

In cases of excessive sweating, consulting a doctor is advisable.

Regular hygiene, frequent washing, and using deodorants are absolute essentials. It is also recommended to wear breathable clothing made from natural materials and avoid overheating the body.

Grandma's trick for sweat stains

How can sweating be limited? Effective products are available, such as antiperspirants or sweat blockers. However, if you prefer home remedies, we have several options.

Talcum powder or baby powder is a simple and effective method for sweat stains. It dries out the skin and has an astringent effect, which reduces sweat production.

Herbs can also help combat excessive sweating. Sage reduces sweat production, while mint, chamomile, and lemon balm can be used in teas and relaxing herbal baths.
