A natural deodorant is achieved by combining baking soda and lemon, which ends up being excellent for attacking bad odor.
Although it is a very natural process, sweating is a concern for many. Controlling the level of sweat is something that can be a problem, since for some it is excessive or an unpleasant odor is generated in the body.
Sweat is a colorless acidic fluid that is secreted through sweat glands located within the skin. It contains fatty acids and a good amount of minerals that act as antibacterial agents against bacteria and fungi.
Although it is a normal process in the body to regulate temperature, it is very annoying for everyone because it usually causes a feeling of dirt and a bad smell.
Its excess production is normal when the body heats up during exercise or when experiencing moments of anxiety or fever. It is also a common symptom of the hormonal changes of menopause.
It is considered abnormal when there is no apparent reason that originates it and it is expelled even without making greater efforts. Fortunately, regardless of its cause, there are home remedies that help control sweat to avoid the discomfort and embarrassment of the unpleasant smell.
Here are some easy-to-make remedies so don’t hesitate to try if you are suffering from this problem.
Sage tea to control sweat
Sage has antiperspirant properties that regulate the function of the sweat glands. Contains magnesium and B complex vitamins that participate in hormonal regulation to control sweating. This is confirmed by this study carried out by the Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (Iran).
For the infusion you must have the following ingredients: 5 tablespoons of sage (50 g) and 1 liter of water.
The first thing is to pour the sage into a pot with a liter of water and bring it to a simmer for 15 minutes.
You have to let it rest and consume one or two cups a day. It can also be applied on the affected areas.
