    In some cases, people mostly sweat at nights and why is that so? Well similar causes, just with more intense reasons such as :<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. <\/b>Menopause<\/b><\/strong>\u2013 One of the main cause for excessive sweating at night in women is menopause. Occurring mostly around the age of 50yrs, this is a natural condition.<\/li>\n

      How To Stop\u00a0Excessive Sweating?<\/h3>\n

      <\/b>1. Proper Diet <\/b><\/strong>\u2013 The first lifestyle change that you need to make is to cut out spicy food and caffeine from your diet. Both these can stimulate your sweat glands, resulting in excessive sweating. In fact, the next time you eat something really spicy, notice if you break out in sweat. If you do, then you know that you definitely need to cut out these triggers.<\/p>\n

      <\/b>2. Water Water Water<\/b><\/strong>\u2013 Drink a lot of water. Water helps keep your body cool as well as helps flush out toxins, both these functions are done by sweating as well. So when you drink more water to take care of these vital functions, your body is less inclined to sweat in order to get rid of toxins and cool down your temperature.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      3. Cold Shower<\/b><\/strong>\u2013 Always take a cold shower. Hot shower or baths do not really help with excessive sweating. Have you ever noticed that as soon as you step out of a hot shower, your body starts perspiring and sweating? Well this could be because of an immediate change in temperature from hot to cold. So always have a refreshing cold shower.<\/p>\n

      <\/b>4. Kill The Bacteria<\/b><\/strong>\u2013 Use a strong antibacterial soap. If you sweat excessively, then the stinky smell that comes is a result of bacteria that rot and fester in your underarm and other regions. Using an antibacterial soap on a regular basis, especially after your workouts, should help with this problem.<\/p>\n

      <\/b>5. Get Rid of Underarm Hair<\/b><\/strong>\u2013 Keep your underarms shaved or waxed. Keeping your\u00a0underarms<\/u><\/a>hairless will help the sweat to evaporate much faster. Also, when there is a lot of hair, it provides the perfect atmosphere for the bacteria to thrive, resulting in a foul smell.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      6. Live In Light Clothes<\/b><\/strong>\u2013 Wear cotton clothing as much as possible. Letting your skin breathe will reduce sweating to a great extent. So wear cotton clothing, especially during hot days.<\/p>\n

      <\/b><\/b>7. Acupuncture<\/b><\/strong><\/b>\u2013 So what acupuncture\u00a0does is, it stimulates certain points in the body to balance energy and also relaxes the brain, by controlling\u00a0the hypothalamus. It is definitely not painful, more on the tickle bone side. This can work in reducing sweat glands from oozing excessively.<\/p>\n

      8. Emotional Stability<\/b><\/strong>\u2013 Try to remain calm and at peace always, as too many emotions trigger can and will cause excess sweat.<\/p>\n

      9. Never Be Overweight <\/b><\/strong>\u2013 90% of people with the excessive sweating conditionare overweight. So it is good and healthy to first lose a few pounds before trying other tips and remedies.<\/p>\n

      10. Yoga<\/b><\/strong>\u2013 This is one of the most natural ways to control the excessive sweat. The meditation, asanas to calm the n<\/p>\n

      11. Sweat Pads <\/b><\/strong>\u2013 Make use of over-the-counter sweat absorbent pads. You can place them under your arms and in other such danger zones to absorb the excess sweat.erves, subsequently lessen sweat production.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      12. Avoid alcohol and cigarettes<\/b><\/strong>\u2013 The chemicals and toxins in the alcohol and tobacco cause a delay in blood circulation which quite naturally doesn\u2019t help in controlling sweat. Drugs are included in this category too.<\/p>\n

      You may be wondering why I haven\u2019t listed the more obvious solutions\u2014deodorants and antiperspirants. While I agree that they are good fixes, always remember that they are temporary and do not really help you in the long run. In fact, they can darken your skin and cause irritation and rashes. They don\u2019t deal with the problem, but rather only mask it. So while you can go in for extra-strong deodorants, they cannot be your end solution to fight excessive\u00a0sweating.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

      As sometimes, all practices might take a long time to control the excessive sweating, meanwhile do your part in avoiding the foul odor\u00a0that comes from sweat.<\/p>\n

      Tips To Avoid That Excessive Sweating Smell:<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Avoid foods containing sulphur<\/strong><\/li>\n
      2. Avoid alcohol. (Yes, that\u2019s right)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Now, what other concerns do we have? Our sweat patches have a solution which are sweat pads, but there are times we don\u2019t have them in hand at the right time. So how do we dress right to avoid the sweat underarm stains or elsewhere?<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Never wear bright colours as sweat is most visible on those colours.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Prefer very dark colours like black, dark blue or go for very light colours like white. Both the extremes are comparatively\u00a0safer options.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Wear a undershirt beneath to absorb the sweat inside before it reaches to a stage we can all see. So be sure to layer your clothes.<\/li>\n
          2. Cotton is your best option in a cool climate, whereas if you know you\u2019re going to be sweating hard, it is your worst option. Cotton soaks up the sweat which can be visible far fetched.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Coming to your next concern, if at all, those sweat stains do happen, how do you get rid of it?<\/p>\n

            \"\"<\/p>\n

            Fill up a bucket of warm water and add one big scoop of OxiClean to the water. Now submerge your shirt into the bucket, and let it soak for an hour for mild stains. For not-so-mild and strong stains, let it soak overnight after which it can be laundered and ironed as usual.<\/p>\n

            Now that we have all your concerns with sweat cleared, we hope this article is going to help you get through daily life!<\/p>\n
