EXCESSIVE SWEATING: HOW TO MENAGE IT WITHOUT DISRUPTING YOUR BODY'S NATURAL BALANCE

Dr. Simone Gabbanini, Head of Quality Control

Summer is the season many of us look forward to: long days, sunshine, holidays, and life outdoors. However, along with the pleasure of warmer weather comes one common annoyance — excessive sweating.

Why do we sweat?

Our body is an extraordinary machine, perfectly designed to adapt to environmental changes. When temperatures rise, the body activates a thermoregulatory response: the sweat glands produce sweat, which evaporates from the skin's surface, taking heat with it and cooling the body down.

Sweating is a crucial physiological process and should not be blocked with heavy antiperspirants, which can interfere with this natural mechanism.

When sweating becomes a problem

However, if sweating becomes excessive and causes discomfort — whether physical or emotional — there are simple, effective strategies to help manage it without disrupting your body’s natural balance.

Here are a few helpful tips:

• Choose cool, well-ventilated environments

• Avoid alcohol and spicy foods, which can increase perspiration

• Stay well hydrated

• Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to replenish lost minerals

The refreshing power of essential oils

For instant relief, look for refreshing products containing essential oils like peppermint and eucalyptus.
Menthol, naturally found in peppermint, interacts with thermoreceptors in the skin to create a cooling sensation. Similarly, eucalyptol, the active compound in eucalyptus oil, evaporates quickly from the skin, mimicking the natural cooling effect of sweat.

Recommended products

To better cope with hot summer days and restore comfort naturally, we recommend:

• Idrobagno i.u. – to use before and after your shower for a cleansing, refreshing effect

• C.R.P. Cream – ideal for relieving hot, tired feet and legs

Summer can be lighter and more enjoyable — even on the hottest days. With the right tips and natural, refreshing products, you can manage excessive sweating without interfering with your body’s natural rhythm.
