You run away from business meetings, parties, and all kinds of social gatherings because your underarm stinks. If it is you, you need a solution for underarm sweating or armpit sweating. No – the deodorants and scent sprays don't give you lasting solution. They just worsen the situation. The real remedy is somewhere else. Let's look closer.

If you have tried a lot of talcum powder, body sprays, or keeping your hands up in a effort to keep the underarm dry, you will know how embarrassing and difficult it is to live with excessive underarm sweating. Try these five natural remedies on how to stop underarm sweating.

1. Shave

Shave your armpits. This is will not reduce sweating. However, it will bring you some benefits. The benefits include your body doesn't stink. This is because, there is no hair there to hold the moisture. If there is moisture, there will be bacteria build up. This bacteria will give out a smell. Others will run away from you. And you will avoid all sort of social contacts. Shave instead.

2. Wash. But Don't Use Excessive Soap

Wash your armpits while showering. Use plenty of water to wash the area. There are certain anti-bacterial soaps, which are useful. However, use only very little lather. If you use more soap, it will clog the pores and make the situation worse. Wash away any soap residue. Washing or bathing more than two times a day is of no use.

3. Wear Cotton Clothes

Soft cotton clothes, T-shirt, and innerwear can absorb moisture faster than polyester or artificial fibres. It also allows better air circulation. This is another means of minimizing the moisture there and hence the chances of smelling.

4. Drink Water

In addition, the water will dilute the materials that come out through the sweat. That is, fewer chances for the bacteria to find home under your armpit. Even if you sweat as normal, the effects of such sweating will be minimal. That is, others don't feel you smelly.

Excessive underarm sweating is a problem for only 1% of the population. They can also apply baking soda on to dry armpits. This will absorb sweat and suppress smell. These are clean and effective means of managing under arm sweating. While it is not that easy controlling underarm sweating, it is possible that you can manage the side effects of sweating. And, you don't have to use powerful chemicals just to prevent the odour.
