Today, I’ve got some exciting new for you. You’re about to learn 4 little known herbal remedies for sweating that are sure to alleviate the perspiration where all other deodorants and treatments have failed.
When I first found these 4 herbal remedies for sweating and started implementing them, the effects were nearly instantaneous. Within the first hour (one of them within just minutes) the sweating was stifled and I was dry throughout the day.
So, let’s start with the first one, witch hazel…
1. Witch Hazel - The bark and leaves of the witch hazel plant are extracted into a powerful astringent which can be applied in liquid form to the skin. If you look closely at the ingredients of many aftershaves and lotions, you may find witch hazel to be one of the components.
Traditionally, the herb was used to treat insect bites and even bruises but over the years it was discovered to eliminate sweating as well.
Witch Hazel will be especially effective for you if have facial sweating. This was where this herb REALLY came in and saved the day for me. Facial sweating, after all, is super hard to hide. It’s out in the open and you can only dab it with a handkerchief so many times before you start to lose your mind.
You also can’t just roll a deodorant onto your face so this is where witch hazel really comes in handy. Using a cotton ball, apply a thin layer of the witch hazel oil to your face and watch its astringent properties go to work. Your skin may initially get a little dry as it dissolves all the oil on your skin but later, as it goes to work, you’ll find that those beads of perspiration you get on your face won’t make their daily visit.
Of course, witch hazel can be applied to more places on your skin than just your face. Personally though, I found this herbal remedy most effective for my facial sweating.
2. Burdock - this herb safely manages excessive sweating by eliminating excessive fluids through other means rather than the sweat pores. It redirects sweating fluids through the lymph nodes, kidneys and bowels instead.
Here’s a little warning about burdock. It’s pretty nasty to have as a tea. Burdock is BITTER. Once sip of burdock tea and you’ll be puckering your lips in a grimace for sure.
So, what do you do? Well, you can take it as a “tincture”. What’s a tincture? It’s a fancy word for an alcoholic extract. Most health food stores sell burdock in this form so it’s easy enough to pick up. Burdock works from the inside out. Take this extract for a few days and you’ll notice the difference for sure.
3. Astragalus - This herb, native to northeast China, has mild diuretic properties and plays a role in balancing your sweat response. Here’s the only problem with it. Depending on your specific sweat problem, it can decrease or even possibly increase your sweating. You’ll need to test it out to see for yourself. Astragalus has a mild, sweet taste, making it a suitable choice for tea. You can also dissolve it in your favorite drink. Its active compounds are the flavonoids that give its roots and flowers their yellow color. Give this a shot and see what you come up with.
4. Tea Tree Oil - this one is exceptionally effective for foot sweating. Plus, it’s additionally an antifungal so if you’ve got foot fungus, tea tree oil will knock that out as well.
Just apply a thin layer to your hands and feet to mitigate the sweating. The oil has astringent properties which will dry out the skin. Start with just a little bit to determine how much you’ll need.
As with any topical, you’ll want to be on the lookout for irritation and discontinue use if you notice any. Most people find tea tree oil to be the gentlest of the herbal remedies mentioned here.
