Stop Sweating Armpits - Why do you sweat and remain sweaty even when you wear deodorant ?

In order to stop excessive sweating from your armpits, we need to look at the three possible solutions to your problem.

We also need to consider the facts in order to try and stop the sweating of the armpits. The facts are that the average persons' body contains around 4 million sweat glands. Consider that every hair grows out of a sweat gland and you will see why. The next fact is that the average person has the ability to produce around 12 liters of sweating in a 24 hour period and this can be some serious sweating to try and stop. The other important fact is that we need to sweat at least a little and the average person at rest in a cool environment loses at least a half liter of sweat in a day.

So even though you wear deodorant, the body is programmed to lose a certain amount of sweat.

 The real question is how do you stop sweating armpits and slow down the process or stop the sweating process entirely. This brings us back to the three possible solutions which are, corrective surgery, medication or clinical anti-perspirant

The sweat glands rely on the body chemical byproduct acetylcholine to produce sweat. The oral medication process used, targets the production of acetylcholine and limits it in order to reduce or stop the sweat produced in the armpits. The use of these medications should be prescribed due to the possibility of allergic reactions and side effects. The drugs are called anti- cholinergic medications.

Now you may say “ But I’ve tried Anti – Perspirant “. The difference in a store bought anti perspirant and the clinical version is a very important ingredient called aluminum chloride. Aluminum Chloride is the active ingredient which plugs the sweat glands to limit excessive sweating from the armpits and is also available in a gel form. Sometime an anti-perspirant with aluminum chloride is enough to stop sweating armpits.
