Sweating is a natural physiological function that regulates body temperature and removes toxins. Nevertheless, excessive sweating can cause problems, appearing in stressful situations or indicating conditions such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or even some cancers.

How to minimise sweating?

Excessive sweating can also result from an improper diet. Avoiding spicy foods, such as chilli peppers, can bring relief. Drinking a large amount of water and consuming fresh vegetables and fruits, especially tomatoes, is also essential.

In cases of excessive sweating, consulting with a doctor is recommended.

Regular hygiene, frequent washing, and the use of deodorants are absolute basics. It is also recommended to wear breathable clothes made from natural materials and avoid overheating the body.

Grandmother's trick for sweat stains

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

Using talcum powder or baby powder is a simple and effective method for sweat stains. These products dry out the skin and act astringently, reducing sweat secretion.

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