Ingenious Home Remedy For Underarm Sweat

In addition to using this home remedy, we should always shave our armpits. Not only for aesthetic reasons, but also for hygienic reasons: otherwise fungi and bacteria appear, which cause bad smells.

Some people have more trouble controlling armpit sweat odor than others .

The armpits are one of those parts of the body that can develop an unpleasant odor when we sweat. Fortunately, there is a simple and inexpensive home remedy that can eliminate this odor and at the same time replace the old deodorant.

But before we introduce it, it is necessary to know the causes of underarm sweat odor in order to learn how to treat it and, if possible, avoid it.

What is perspiration?

Perspiration is the process of sweating. It is a vital function of our body, by means of which we remove harmful substances from the body and regulate body temperature.

When the body temperature rises, the body begins to perspire and sweat appears. Sweat itself is odorless, the unpleasant smell arises when the sweat mixes with the bacteria that are on the skin.

The areas of the body that struggle the most with this problem are the armpits, feet, and hands.

In certain stressful situations, perspiration is intensified and some people tend to sweat more than others.

Home remedies to prevent armpit sweat odor

We can prepare this simple, quick, effective and inexpensive home remedy ourselves and use it instead of our conventional deodorant:

We need:

• A can of moisturizing cream for our body – preferably a round can with a capacity of 200 ml, in order to be able to prepare the mixture better.
• Boric acid – available cheaply in drugstores in 1000 gram containers.

This is how we prepare it:

Open the jar of cream, remove two tablespoons of cream, and add a spoonful of boric acid instead. Stir until the cream is well mixed.

Handle the boric acid carefully, then wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Make sure that you clean the surfaces it comes into contact with and, above all, that your skin does not come into contact with the pure boric acid.

This is how the home remedy is used:

To use this homemade deodorant effectively, you need to replace your traditional deodorant with it. Use like any deodorant, in the morning or before you leave the house.

The underarm sweat odor is neutralized step by step  thanks to the boric acid , which also has an antiseptic effect. You will also notice that you no longer sweat as much as you did before and that your perspiration is reduced.

You can also extend the application to other parts of the body, such as feet, that are also affected by excessive perspiration.

Reduce perspiration: further advice

Some pieces of advice that will also help you to at least reduce perspiration, even if it cannot be prevented entirely:

• Wear cotton clothing that lets your skin breathe.
• Avoid excessive consumption of coffee, alcohol, or harsh substances.
• Avoid situations where you are extremely nervous, anxious, or worried, as these can make your body sweat more.
• Use well-ventilated socks and shoes, and change them several times a day if necessary.
