How to Get Rid of Arm Pit Sweat

Tackle excessively sweaty armpits with a range of natural remedies.

The wet spots that go along with sweaty armpits can be embarrassing; they can also make everyday activities a hassle as sufferers have to change their clothes often. People sweat because of heat or exertion, but for some people the problem can be a medical issue resulting from metabolic dysfunction or stress. Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating can be treated in various ways including using Botox, which prevents the sweat glands form producing excessive sweat. However, other self-help tactics can get rid of armpit sweat.

Things You'll Need

• Antiperspirant
• Fine powder of camphor
• 1 turnip
• Juicer
• Baking soda

Instructions

1. Use an anti-antiperspirant that has a heavy aluminum chloride component. The aluminum chloride helps to stop sweating and prevents odor.

2. Mix 2 tbsp. fine powder of camphor in a bottle of water (about 150 ml). Apply this mixture to your armpits to stop sweating. Thus mixture has astringent properties that help to tighten the skin's pores and reduces sweating.

3. Grate a turnip and juice it in a juicer. Apply this juice to the armpits to reduce sweating and underarm odor.

4. Dust baking soda in your armpits to absorb the sweat and kill odor-producing bacteria.

Tips & Warnings

• Loose fitting clothes will help your skin breath and help prevent sweating. Stick to natural fibers like cotton as synthetic fabrics do not allow the body to breathe.
