Besides the obvious things like staying in a cool environment, etc... What are some natural ways to help excessive sweating?
A couple of factors that I am aware of: 1) My Mother has the same condition so it's probably genetic. 2) Some of the medication I take makes the problems worse, but I cannot stop or change the medication (it took me 3 years to iron out the balance of meds).
I don't believe it's "hyperhidrosis" because my sweating is generalized, but it seems to be worse on my face, hands, armpits, and chest.
I literally am soaking wet after 5 minutes of being outside on a warm day, even if I'm not doing much. I also sweat a lot when I sleep. I use a fan at night and only sleep with a sheet (I'm just not comfortable unless something is covering me.
I need to be able to control this "naturally" since I cannot change my medications, and I can not the fact that I have to be outside since I am a photographer (amature, but it's a source of income and I love it).

i have the same problem as you described, i also sweat a lot, i have tried many differed ways to control it but all have failed, things like talcum powder do help, but only to a limited extent.
the best way is to drink lots and lots of fluids, and let your body sweat, and yes keep a handtowel with you, believe me wiping off your sweat does seem to reduce the amount of sweat pouring out of your body.
by the way sweat is good for you, just remember to drink as much fluid as you can.

You should find the reason for excessive sweating. The most likely cause would be an over active thyroid, and it does run in families. You could see if that is the problem by taking Bugleweed for a few days and if you no longer sweat excessively, bingo. If you were tested for this by a doctor, it wouldn't show up unless there is an abundance of thyroid hormone in your bloodstream at the time they take the blood sample.

Aluminum salts work very well you probably know it is alum used many foods and the main ingredient of all deodorants. Dissolve as much alum in water as you can without is being grainy and after bathing take a cloth or sponge and apply it all over your body. Worth a try. We get it here in rock form and it is very cheap.
