Morning Natural Sweat Prevention

You wake up feeling like you're sleeping in the bed of a creek and a mountain cool breeze gives you the chills. That creek bed is your bed and the mountain breeze is your fan and air conditioning going full blast - you've been sweating all night.

Soak Yourself Dry

First of all, you ought to throw those pajamas (if you could stand to wear any) in the wash with some baking soda and lemon juice, as well as your sheets, so you don't sleep in bacteria that'll make you stink when you wake up the next day. As far as your body goes, first comes a natural deodorizing and sweat preventing soak. For the soaking liquid, I recommend a stovetop brew of sage, tormentil root, horsetail root and witch hazel, walnut and eucalyptus leaves, which you should add to enough cold water to make the water cool. Alternatively you can just add the oils/extracts of these natural sweat and odor preventing herbs to cool, pore shrinking (and sweat stopping), water.

Bathroom Magic With Things Aromatic

Next get yourself naturally deodorized and dry. Mix the juice of a lemon or lime with some baking soda and scrub your body, especially your sweatiest regions, with this in the shower. When you get out dry off completely as any moisture could find or harbor bacteria and make you stink prematurely. To ensure longer lasting dryness pat your problem areas with baking soda.Then apply a natural spray on deodorant (which you can make with aromatic, odor-fighting, oils/extracts and some denatured alcohol), or just dab an oil/extract or two, such as sage or peppermint, on the areas you sweat with a cotton ball.

Note: Test out any of these ingredients on a small spot on your skin before you go spraying them all over the place because they may cause irritation.

Eat Fresh, Smell Fresh

As far as breakfast goes, this can actually make or break you fast (pun painstakingly manufactured). Seriously though: processed foods cause your digestive system to work harder than normal because their composition is not one that it was designed to process. Those Frosted Cinnamon Toast Mini Wheat O's that have become your morning companion also tend to contain a lot of highly toxic (also known as deadly) filler ingredients and naturally, make your sweat glands work overtime to detoxify your body. Another BIG 'don't do it to yourself' warning for hyperhidrosis sufferers related to breakfast: sweat-inducing stimulants, like sugar, caffeine and nicotine.

Drink More, Sweat Less (Try Not to Say 'Huh?')

Here's one more often overlooked anti-sweat practice you ought to get in the habit of in the morning: drink a enough non-flouridated water to rehydrate yourself and discourage sweating related to fluid imbalance (especially if you actually had those nasty night sweats we talked about). It would be wise to make some of that water a somewhat cooled (so you don't heat up and break a sweat) brew of sage leaves, sweetened with raw honey, a drink which'll naturally calm the sweat glands.

Fresh Looks

When it comes time dress the part, dress for the life of Mr. or Miss NoSweat that you are embarking upon. Wear natural fibers such as cotton. The man-made type, like polyester, acrylic or nylon, prevent sweat absorption and evaporation. Choose open-toe or leather shoes, which offer the best ventilation, if your feet sweat.


Lunchtime Natural Sweat Prevention

Don't Sweat it

By now you're starting to feel a little dampness, but you're not soaked like usual unless you had some kind of sudden onset sweat attack. If the latter is the case it's time to treat the central nervous system, as this is acting unsympathetically to your sympathetic nervous system (the home of your sweat glands).  Try a calming tea of hops (also known as humulus lupulus) to prevent anxiety triggered by your sweating problem.  Above all, make sure you stay hydrated with water and tea.

Refresh

If you have wet any part of your clothing (this is day one after all, so you're problem won't likely be solved) change it and clean the wet area with a damp cool cloth infused with tea tree. Then dry and repowder.

Sweet and Sour, Not Hot

For lunch, once again forego stimulants and toxins for something straightforward and transparently prepared. If you have a salad, a dressing of raw honey and raw apple cider vinegar is a proven sweat response regulator and it won't taste too bad on just about anything grown in a garden either (alternatively you can drink this mixture a couple of times a day). Another daily staple of many overzealous sweaters that triggers their over responsive sweat response is spicy food, which turns up the heat on their body's thermostats and causes them to sweat, just as a hot (temperature-wise) food or drink does.

Evening Natural Sweat Prevention

Finish Fresh

When you get home have a quick shower, following the same soaking, cleaning routine as you did in the morning, including the application of natural anti-perspirant to keep you fresh at night, whether or not you have night sweats.

Rep-Eat

Keep dinner honest once again. Have another cup of sage tea before it. If you want to drink the hops tea instead to help your sweat-related anxiety, then take sage extract or eat fresh sage rather than drinking sage tea.

Form Good Sweat Prevention Habits and Your Sweat Response'll Round into Form

This day in the life of a future non-sweater may seem like a lot more work than you're currently putting into stopping sweating but consider that it tackles your problem from multiple sides, which will help ensure that all your sweating triggers are in check. Also, within a week or so of doing this, you more than likely won't need to maintain all of these habits from day to day but instead just use one or another that work best for you, from time to time. It's at that point, when you don't have to worry about people seeing or smelling your sweat before the real you, that you will realize just how valuable any one of your daily natural sweat prevention efforts is.

An important reminder:  Be sure to consult a qualified medical professional before using any excessive sweating treatment or product, to determine whether the primary cause of any sweating you deem excessive is hyperhidrosis or one of the following underlying conditions: any infection that causes a fever, Hodgkins' disease, tuberculosis, overactive thyroid, heart disease, cancer, pneumonia, malaria, liver and kidney disease, blood sugar irregularities and menopause.
