Natural Treatments for Perspiration

By PositiveMed Team- Costa Rica Office

Excess perspiration is usually caused by the body’s need to regulate temperature. Commercial anti-perspirants work by blocking the sweat ducts under your armpits. Sweat is your body’s way of removing toxins from the body; so daily blocking is not ideal and can cause longer-term health problems. It is bacteria mixing with your sweat, rather than the sweat itself that causes body odor and these deodorants will work to mask the smell.

HOMEMADE DEODORANT:

Baking soda works wonders as it neutralizes the odor of sweat. Just sprinkle a light covering onto a damp flannel and pat on. There is no need to rinse.
