Here’s My Story …
My battle with
excessive underarm
sweat actually
started in high
school where it
caused a lot of
frustration for me.
I avoided social
situations and
backed down from
potentially
embarrassing events
such as dances,
dates and parties
all because of my
problem.
But as bad as
high school was it
still wasn’t half as
bad as my
experiences in an
office environment
that began when I
was 27. This was
when my problem
really started
taking its toll on
me.
At that time,
surrounded by and
interacting with
colleagues 8 to 10
hours a day, I was
constantly concerned
about my underarms –
a distraction that
caused me to lose
hours of
productivity every
week. My self-esteem
and self-confidence
(which were already
low) plummeted even
further.
I became
desperate for a
solution to my
embarrassing problem
– and in my
desperation I tried
everything I could
think of ...
 |
I
tried more
than a dozen
types of
antiperspirants
(even
prescription
antiperspirants).
|
 |
I tried
applying
antiperspirants
several
times a day. |
 |
I wore
undershirts
to soak up
the sweat
before it
reached my
outer shirt. |
 |
When one
undershirt
wasn’t
enough, I
tried
wearing two
undershirts. |
 |
When I was
in my car
(alone) I
would hold
up my arms,
aligning
them with
the air
conditioner
vents,
allowing
cold air to
flow up my
sleeve to
cool and dry
my armpits. |
 |
When
sitting at
my desk I
tried to
keep my arms
away from my
sides so
that my
shirt had
less contact
with my
underarms
and would
not soak in
the sweat so
quickly. |
 |
I took
showers
morning and
night.
Sometimes I
would also
come home
during lunch
to shower. |
 |
I wore
oversized
shirts for
better
ventilation
and to keep
my underarms
from
contacting
my shirt.
(This didn't
work because
the sweat
would just
drip down to
my sides and
create wet
marks near
my
waistline.) |
 |
I brought
clean
undershirts
to work and
changed
several
times daily. |
 |
I
purchased a
device that
pushed
electric
currents
through my
skin and was
supposed to
stop
underarm
sweat for a
period. I
never found
out whether
it worked or
not because
it was
incredibly
uncomfortable
and painful
to use, and
I knew this
was not the
solution to
my problem.
(I don't
know if they
still sell
these, but I
would not
recommend
them to my
worst enemy
- ouch!) |
But Absolutely
Nothing
I Tried Worked …
So I was about to
give up hope when my
wife and I attended
a local seminar on
natural health.
As I was sitting
in the seminar all I
could focus on one
thing – my problem
with underarm sweat.
(I couldn’t help it
because my underarms
were getting wet
just sitting in the
classroom.)
While the speaker
never specifically
addressed underarm
sweat, all of the
pieces to the puzzle
began to come
together for me as
he spoke.
I began
constructing a plan
in my head to stop
my problem once and
for all.
Guess
what?
Within a few weeks,
my excessive
sweating stopped and
has never come back! |
