If you’d like to know how to stop sweaty feet, then this is your stop. In this article we will discuss how you can stop sweaty hands and feet using a number of different methods. Have you ever tried black tea? No, I don’t mean drinking, I mean soaking your hands and feet in it. It works like a charm for some people or so they say. They say that it temporary blocks the sweat glands. I’ve had some interesting results with black tea myself. 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. Now you’re ready to do some feet or hand soaking! Do it for half an hour. Afterwards drink the tea. Just kidding you can donate it to the sewers. During the first week you should do the soaking on a daily basis, afterward twice a week is fine. Wash your feet with antibacterial soap in warm water, it will remove the black tea stains. 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. Soap washing is more important for people that suffer from excessive sweaty feet. It is the bacteria on the soles of your feet that cause the bad odor. Use a good brand of anti bacterial soap to combat the smell.

Your feet is like the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Bacteria start multiplying in large number when it’s dark and wet. Polymer and synthetics are the last thing on earth that you want to wear if you want to avoid breeding bacteria. Synthetic clothing tends to retain the moisture. Drop them like a bad habit and buy some organic cotton ones instead. You will see the difference almost immediately, they move moisture away from the body. Some use more drastic solutions such as surgery, but it’s quite risky. You can do a number of things on those pesky glands. You can cut, clamp or even burn them away, but there are certain risks involved with this procedure. You risk compensation sweat. Which means that if you remove glands in one place, your body will produce more in another. It is only recommended for people who are seriously handicapped by the excessive sweating (want to stop sweat glands).

Talk to your doctor about it. 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. This is a machine which blocks your sweat glands for a certain period of time. But don’t be fooled. No matter how futuristic this method sounds it’s still temporary and is not guaranteed to work. You are sure to find other more effective methods out there. This completes our overview of some of the excessive sweat solutions.
