How to stop sweaty feet - Advice
If you ever wondered how to stop sweaty feet you’re at the right place. In this article we will discuss how you can stop sweaty hands and feet using a number of different methods. Did you heard of black tea? Nope, I’m not crazy. Certain people use it to treat their excessive sweat problems. Some say that it’s the best solution to cure sweating. The tannic acid inside of tea is known to block certain sweat glands. I’ve tried the black tea method and it did seem to produce some results. Heat up a large enough amount (usually 1 pint) of water and drop 2-3 tea bags in it. Bring it to luke warm temperature. Soak your hands or feet in it for 30 minutes. If you want it to work faster you should then consume that tea orally! Just kidding! Throw it out once you’re done and don’t reuse it. The initial tea treatment should be last one week and performed daily. You can do it for 2 days in the subsequent weeks. For an added effect you should wash your feet with soap and warm water after each procedure. Use a volcanic rock (a.k.a pumice rock) on your feet if you want to rub off the calluses which soak in tea stains. People suffering from sweaty feet should befriend a good antibacterial soap.
It is the bacteria on the soles of your feet that cause the bad odor. A strong bacteria killing soap is needed to help you fight the smell. Bacteria breed in large numbers on your feet. Your feet are the perfect breeding grounds because of the lack of light and moisture. If you wear synthetic socks then you will attract even more bacteria. They will soak in the moisture. Throw them out if you have any and switch to 100% cotton. Cotton socks push out the moisture away from the body. If you’re into radical approaches you might want to consider a surgical procedure.
This hack and burn approach often backfires. You can’t really predict how your body will react. Often times you see compensation sweat develop in a different part of your body. For example, after the procedure, you might see more sweat in the groin area as opposed to your hands. This solution is used to treat very severe cases of sweating feet hyperhidrosis, you should really think carefully about it. Have a hearty talk with your treating doc about this.
Another drastic approach is to use electricity to treat sweat. Sounds like something out of a Sci-Fi movie, right? This solution was patented by the Drionic brand. It can be quite painful for certain people, each individual has a different electricity conduction level all depending on the thickness of your skin. This method is supposed to temporarily clog your sweat glands and thus prevent sweating. This method is pretty controversial and doesn’t always work. There are plenty of other methods out there that beat this one. This completes our overview of some of the excessive sweat solutions.
