Prevent Sweating Naturally
Lots of people who sweat excessively do so under psychological stress. Exerting voluntary effort which creates sweating is one thing, but your body has automatic processes that can trigger sweating even when you are not moving or doing anything strenuous. If you are the kind of person who gets surprised or scared easily, or the type of person who gets annoyed at a lot of things or loses temper easily, then your behavior may be the cause of excessive sweating. When your mind is always on the verge of this fight-or-flight syndrome, your body thinks it is reacting appropriately, and triggers the sweating mechanism.
Sweating is a natural component of the body preparing to do battle or run away. If you can find ways to calm down or just stay relaxed, your sweating will decrease.
Understanding your fabrics is important. Some fabrics are “breathable”, meaning they let air pass quite freely through the weave, while other fabrics are not. Higher breathability means a greater degree of air-cooling.
Additionally, some fabrics can absorb moisture well, while others cannot. Lack of absorption capabilities leaves the sweat on the skin, making you feel clammy and sticky. Know your fabrics and choose your clothes well.
Cotton is a good choice, since it is breathable and very absorbent. It can help you stay cool and sweat-free, and can absorb sweat in case you actually do sweat.
Lastly, try asking a dermatologist about prescription antiperspirants. These contain high concentrations of aluminum chloride, which is a powerful antiperspirant. Before that though, you might want to give a thought about buying high-strength commercial antiperspirants. Remember to read the label carefully. You want an antiperspirant, not a deodorant.
