Excessive underarm sweating is a medical health problem that can affect both men and women equally, regardless of age. The problem commonly occurs among people in their late adolescence and can continue to affect these individuals for years, if left untreated. At present, an estimated 3% of the world population is known to be suffering from excessive armpit sweating.

Fortunately, to control and stop excessive underarm sweating, there are remedies available, both medical and natural preventive treatments.

For many people suffering from excessive underarm sweating, a commonly used remedy is the anti-perspirant. To stop excessive armpit sweating, these anti-perspirants contain an aluminum based chemical formulation such as aluminum chloride that blocks the overactive underarm sweat glands, preventing sweat from surfacing out. Some popular brands include Drysol, Maxim and Certain Dri.

However, if you are suffering from extreme, excessive sweaty armpits, oral medications, iontophoresis, Botox® or surgery are probably the next best recommended treatment solutions to help stop sweaty armpits.

Yet, for some others whose excessive underarm sweating cannot be controlled by antiperspirants or who do not want to spend a lot of money on the medical treatments, making some slight lifestyle changes can go a long way in taming those overactive armpit sweat glands.

Some of these simple lifestyle changes can be:
  • Having lots of fresh fruits which have a cooling effect on the body.
  • Avoiding eating spicy and greasy foods.
  • Don't smoke or drink caffeinated drinks.
  • Taking a shower daily.
  • Scrubbing well when taking a shower.
  • Wearing clothes made of 100% natural fiber such as cotton, silk and/or wool.
  • Practicing mediation, self hypnosis so the body and mind remain stress-free.

 
According to medical experts, there are several possible causes of excessive sweating. While most evidences show that excessive sweating may be a heredity (genetic) condition, caused by an overactivity of the sympathetic nerves; there are also many doctors who believe that there are other medical related and non-medical factors that can aggravate the condition.
