Has anyone found a natural anti-perspirant to use while tackling the underlying nervous system disorders that cause excessive sweating?

I don't want to use toxic aluminum but nothing 'natural' works. Note that I'm not talking about removing odor - that is easy and can be done with anything - alcohol, peroxide, lemon juice, you name it...
I simply want to not sweat like a beast and have huge sweat stains under my arms all the time, so freaking uncomfortable not to mention embarrassing.

I notice the commercial antiperspirants use aluminum chlorohydrate or similar. I am probably being naive thinking magnesium chloride hexahydrate can work for this purpose, but I am going to try it. Would really appreciate if I could get this issue under control until I fix whatever caused me to start sweating like this in the first place. I know my hormones and nervous system is out of place, that's for sure.

Try to increase dopamine and GABA. High acetylcholine can cause it.Oral drugs that are prescribed by doctors to stop sweating are usually anticholinergics ( they reduce acethylcholine). Luckily dopamine and gaba balance exessive acetylcholine :)

IF you have a lot of head sweating - it means you are low in calcium
Source, please.

People with excessive sweating that masturbate frequently, try go without for a couple of weeks and see if it makes any difference. In my personal experience this is a major factor for me. I've been to several doctors and "specialists" about this when I was a teenager, and had sessions of iontophoresis and used strong aluminium based antiperspirants for years as well, so I consider myself actually having an "excess" sweating problem rather than just a little bit sweaty.

I know this won't be the reason everyone has it, but it's worth trying out. When masturbation is reasonable I completely forget I have a "sweating problem" at all.

About the calcium or the antichlorogenic drugs?

I have seen people experience this too when they do NoFap. Sadly it doesn;t work for me.

Could it be something psychosomatic? Like a traumatic experience that causes over activation of the nervous system and you stay stuck with that imprint and maybe small stress cues from the environment initiate the reoccurring sweats?

Sometimes I go months with very little of this sweating but I know the tipping point is a week of under eating and then I'm right back to sweating.

I'm thinking about trying hypnosis

How long did you go without masturbation?

Around 4 months.

Atleast you know that if you eat you will not sweat :) How long until food fix the sweating?

I have a theory that impaired blood flow to the skin can cause it and will try some supplements for it soon.

Well I alternate between sweating, being warm and dry, or being really cold and clammy. I know peripheral perfusion is compromised when you have something wrong with your liver...so the fluctuations in blood sugar levels and stress hormones seems like a likely correlation but I'd like to get to the root cause as any meds or supplements only work temporarily and I don't want to depend on them forever.

I'm interested in regards to calcium, but I wouldn't mind you providing the source for the anticholinergic drugs, too.

The last few years I have developed excessive sweating.
My TSH is over 3, FT4 is at 1.00 and Ft3 is near upper range.
I, however, feel pretty warm constantly and sweat WAY more than my friends doing the same activities.
Does anyone know what the could might be?

Supplementation seems to do nothing for me...
Currently on androsterone (1-3mg daily), pansterone (3 drops), and vitamin k2 at around 4mg.

Thanks!
i read that B3 can control sweating. I also sweat a lot and when I was taking some B3 this year i did not sweat so much.

i have cfs and have had really weird excessive sweating from armpits in the past five months. DOn't know what it is, perhaps stress hormones. In my case it does not seem at all like a sign of healthy metabolism, since it is so excessive even when it's not hot and i'm not doing any activity. it's so weird and gross.

I noticed though I will also start sweating after eating especially if the food is hot or maybe triggering a histamine response

  • Too much beta adrenergic stimulation (aka chronic/prolonged Adrenaline)
  • Too much T3 (hyperthyroidism can lead to more Adrenaline release too)
  • Sometimes high prolactin can lead to excessive sweating, dopamine agonists will help
  • Zinc deficiency
Never underestimate the power of good, old zinc. High dose zinc greatly reduces excessive sweating, you will insantly notice that if you're working out.

Wondering if anyone found any other good ways of reducing sweating. I’m getting full body sweats throughout the day, clothes are always drenched. Becoming bit of an embarrassment!

If you suspect its caused by excess cortisol-serotonin-histamine, etc, and good chance it is, try cyproheptadine.

This is interesting to me because I was thinking the other day how I used to sweat a lot more before Peat-eating. My conjecture—although I’m not actually certain—is that water is being used more efficiently in the cell. I also think that lowering iron may help in this cause. Donating blood may help you if you suspect you’re high ferritin.

It’s important to distinguish between sweating at exercise and just sweating in hot weather or perspiring all day, sitting at a desk. Previously I remember the inability to stop sweating while standing at a bus stop in a moderate heat, but that will be different than sweat at exercise in a gym.

My prescription would be to raise body temp and increase glucose metabolism while lowering iron stores. There are different ways of doing these things. Also: OP if you drink alcohol a lot, you may want to stop for a bit, which will assist in the aforementioned.

The thing about my hyperhidrosis is I have weeks of barely sweating unless I’m doing strenuous physical activity, and then weeks of sweating just driving a car or taking the subway.

Today is the hottest day of summer here and I’ve been taking b3 the last few days. Worked out at home and work in a hot environment and did not sweat at all. I think the improved glucose metabolism is right in point.

Ive noticed alkaseltzer seems to help this a lot, could just be the sodium though

I went to the doctor's at last about mine. I have a blood test on Monday.

Barring them finding anything crucial (I think everything will come back 'within range', frankly) if my recent Diamant order does not help my hot-or -cold axilliary sweating, I've reached the end of the road.

After 20 years it's finally gotten so bad it's affecting my work, social, and sex life. It's definitely hormonal or physical but nothing, Peaty or not, has ever made a difference. I've got a roller of Anhydrol Forte ready to use now, and will probably have to resort to MiraDry if I don't want to be dependant on it.

I am generally an anxious person, but I could handle that just fine as I ignore it and crack on, but not when my own body turns traitor to this extent. My temperature tolerance sucks as well, very easy to get too hot from walking or entering a store in a coat, but not too bad with the cold.

This isn't anti-Peat at all, nothing has worked but this is the only health-related forum I ever use now.

Things I've tried, not all at once:

Magnesium (various forms)
B12 patch
5aDHP
TocoVit
Energin
Androsterone
Lisuride
Metergoline
Tyromix (My logic being that hypothyroid can present in weird ways)
StressNon
CortiNon
Lidocaine (Oral, 20 - 40mg in water)
Cypro (1 - 2mg)
Salt
OJ
Aspirin
Coke
Dairy
Vit D
Vit K
Vit A (liver)
Taurine
Niacinamide


Going vegan
Going gluten-free (Still am, this works for me - no hayfever)
Low-carb (While recovering from an op so not training)

IdeaLabs products are listed only to show how ****88 my body is, I have no doubt of the quality of Haidut's products or I wouldn't have ordered them - I can feel the effects of lisuride, and metergoline; it just doesn't make any difference to hyperhydrosis.

Apologies for the blogpost, I just really thought one day I'd find a magic bullet.
