Sweating is one of the serioustroubles that await a person. And it is not surprising - excessive sweating causes a lot of trouble. Stains on clothes in the armpit area, wet palms, unpleasant foot odor - an unpleasant prospect, isn't it? And if excessive sweating of the hands and feet is quite rare, then with the armpits the situation is much worse. Of course, there are a lot of different deodorants and antiperspirants that promise an instant effect. However, this does not always happen - despite the neat rows of deodorants on the shelf, the armpits continue to sweat. And here it is worth trying folk methods of treating underarm sweating. There are many such methods of treatment. But today we will talk about oak bark. Oak bark has been used by people for sweating for many centuries - the recipes, as they say, are time-tested. However, remember that before starting treatment, be sure to visit a doctor. It is quite rare, but there are still cases when increased sweating of the armpits is caused by one or another disease. And only after the doctor's permission can you begin treatment with oak bark.
Broth of the bark of oak
One of the most common means is thisoak bark decoction. To prepare it, you will need five tablespoons of chopped oak bark, one liter of water and an enamel pan. You can prepare oak bark yourself. To do this, remove the top layer of bark, lay it out in the sun and leave for several days. If the weather outside is not sunny, the bark can be dried in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. If the prospect of preparing the bark yourself does not appeal to you, you can take an easier route - buy bark at a pharmacy. Be sure to chop the oak bark, place five spoons in an enamel pan, pour in one liter of water. Over low heat, stirring constantly, bring the decoction to a boil. Then cover with a lid and cook for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat, wrap the pan in a thick terry towel and leave to infuse for two hours. The decoction must be filtered using gauze and poured into a glass container. After the decoction has cooled completely, place it in the refrigerator - otherwise it will lose all its healing properties. Do not prepare more than one liter of decoction - it can only be used for the first three days. Then the effectiveness of the treatment decreases significantly - it is better to prepare a fresh one. The decoction is used as follows. In the morning, after a shower, rinse your armpits with a decoction of oak bark. During the day, also try to wipe your armpits with this decoction as often as possible. If you have such an opportunity, try to refuse to use any deodorants during the treatment period. Of course, for those who work, this will not be easy to do. But it is still worth minimizing the use of any cosmetic products. And once a day, make lotions - moisten two gauze napkins, apply them to problem areas and leave for half an hour. Change the napkins as they dry out. It is best to do compresses before going to bed, but you can do it at any other time that is convenient for you. The treatment should last at least one month. Although, of course, you will notice the effect much earlier, but do not stop the treatment under any circumstances. Otherwise, sweating will return very quickly. According to those who have tried this recipe on themselves, the problem of excessive sweating disappears for about six months.
Therapeutic paste from the bark of oak
If you sweat very much, it is worth ittry a more radical method of treatment. For the following recipe, you will need 200 grams of dry oak bark, five tablespoons of any natural honey, a liter of water, a glass container and an enamel pan. Grind the oak bark thoroughly and divide it into two equal parts. Place one part in an enamel pan, pour in one liter of water and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil. After that, reduce the heat and cook until half of the water has boiled away. Naturally, do not cover the pan with a lid. After the water has boiled away, wrap the pan in a terry towel and leave to infuse for several hours. Then strain the broth using gauze and pour into a bottle, which must be stored exclusively in the refrigerator. Place the second part of the chopped oak bark in a glass container, add honey, mix everything thoroughly - you should get a homogeneous mass. It should also be stored in a closed container and only in the refrigerator for no more than one week. By the way, please note that the decoction should not be stored for more than three days, so you will have to prepare it twice. The treatment itself is carried out as follows. In the morning, after a shower, rinse the armpit area with a decoction of oak bark, and also try to wipe the skin with this decoction during the day. Before going to bed, you need to take a shower and apply a thick layer of honey and oak bark paste to the skin. Leave the paste for half an hour, then rinse thoroughly with running water. After that, make a compress - soak two gauze napkins in the decoction and apply to the armpit area for 20 minutes. The duration of such treatment is two weeks. As a rule, even the strongest sweating disappears. Please note - this remedy for sweating is strictly contraindicated for those people who have previously had cases of an allergic reaction to honey or any other bee products. Moreover, in any case, it is worth doing a test. To do this, apply a small amount of paste to the elbow and leave for two hours. If the skin does not turn red and there is no itching, you can begin treating sweating.
Oak bark and lemon juice
Another excellent way to treat sweatingoak, or rather, oak bark - this is a decoction with lemon juice. It is prepared almost exactly as in all the previous recipes. Place five tablespoons of crushed oak bark in an enamel container, pour half a liter of water, boil for 30 minutes. After that, strain the decoction using gauze and cool. Squeeze out the lemon juice and mix with the already cooled oak bark decoction. The resulting decoction must be stored exclusively in the refrigerator, for no more than three days. This decoction should be used to wipe the armpit area at least five to six times a day, and make compresses at night. To do this, soak two gauze napkins in oak bark decoction and apply them to the armpits for 20 minutes. After that, rinse thoroughly with plenty of running water. The duration of the course of treatment is two weeks. Make sure that no irritation occurs. If you feel a burning sensation or other discomfort, or if your skin becomes red, wash off the decoction with water as quickly as possible and apply any moisturizing cream. You cannot continue further treatment with such a remedy. As you can see, it is possible to get rid of excessive sweating. The main thing is consistency, because you will not be able to achieve results in “raids”. We recommend reading:
