Useful tips.
Sweating and body odor are caused by the sebaceous glands (acrine and apocrine).
Sweating and body odor are common when you exercise or you're too warm. They're also common when you're feeling nervous, anxious, or stressed.
Unusual changes in sweating — either excessive perspiration (hyperhidrosis) or little or no perspiration (anhidrosis) — can be cause for concern. Changes in body odor also may signal a health problem.
Otherwise, lifestyle and home treatments can usually help with normal sweating and body odor.
Lifestyle and home remedies
You can do a number of things on your own to reduce sweating and body odor. The following suggestions may help:
- Bathe daily.
- Use an antibacterial soap.
- For daily wear, choose natural fabrics, such as cotton, wool, and silk. These allow your skin to breathe.
- Try relaxation techniques. Consider relaxation techniques, such as yoga, meditation, or biofeedback. These practices can teach you to control the stress that triggers perspiration.
- Change your diet. Caffeinated beverages and spicy or strong-smelling foods may make you sweat more or have a stronger body odor than usual. Eliminating these foods may help.
