How To Stop Sweating : Easy Answe To A Hard Question
January 23, 2009
If you’d like to know how to stop sweaty feet, then this is your stop. We’ll explain a couple of methods that people have used to stop sweaty feet, one of them is 100% free. Care for some black tea? No, I don’t mean drinking, I mean soaking your hands and feet in it. People claim that it works. They say that it temporary blocks the sweat glands. I’ve had some interesting results with black tea myself. Boil enough hot water to soak the soles of your feet, usually 2 to 2.5 cups of water will do and put 2 tea bags in it. Hold your horses until the water gets to a bearable temperature (mix it with cool water or tea to speed up the process). You’re set to go, dive in with your hands or feet and keep them there for 30 min. If you want it to work faster you should then consume that tea orally… Just kidding! Throw it out once you’re done and don’t reuse it. During the first week you should do the soaking on a daily basis, afterward twice a week is fine. Wash your feet with antibacterial soap in warm water, it will remove the black tea stains. Rub your feet with pumice stone to diminish the number of calluses (which often retain the stains). The anti bacterial soap should be used more by people that have sweating feet.
It is the bacteria on the soles of your feet that cause the bad odor. If you arm yourself with a good antibacterial soap it should help with the smell. Bacteria make massive colonies on your feet. Bacteria start multiplying in large number when it’s dark and wet. That’s why it’s a bad idea to wear polymer and synthetic socks. They are like a sponge that sucks in all the sweat. Throw them out if you have any and switch to 100% cotton. You will see the difference almost immediately, they move moisture away from the body. If you’re into radical approaches you might want to consider a surgical procedure.
This hack and burn approach often backfires and is generally considered the riskiest answer to How to stop sweating. Body finds a way to sweat more in a different area if you removed sweat glands from your feet for example. This solution is used to treat very severe cases of sweating feet hyperhidrosis, you should really think carefully about it. Talk to your doctor about it.
Some people even use electrical shocks to treat sweating. This solution was patented by the Drionic brand. It can be quite painful for certain people, each individual has a different electricity conduction level all depending on the thickness of your skin. This method is supposed to temporarily clog your sweat glands and thus prevent sweating. This method is pretty controversial and doesn’t always work. You are sure to find other more effective methods out there. This completes our overview of some of the excessive sweat solutions.
