Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey
Posted by Tom (Chicago, Illionois) on 08/27/2009

I just wanted to write in and say that the apple cider vinegar honey remedy does work for excessive sweating. The key is that you have to try it WITH a certain kind of honey. And the honey has to be that thick, clumpy kind. I tried the remedy without any honey (didn't work) and then with that watery, thin kind of honey and it didn't work - then iI tried it with the thick kind - and lo and behold my excessive sweating is gone!!!
Please give this remedy a chance using the right kind of honey!

I had rhinitis and the doctor prescribed Celestamine a couple of times last year. One of the side effects is exessive sweating. I think I would like to try this apple cider vinegar with the thick honey. But would you be able to name what type of ''thick'' honey, such as lavender, eucalyptus or which type of bee honey ? Thanks.

Dan has this worked for you and Tania can you send me some info on the type of ACV you used and type of honey and details like how may times a day, if it was on an empty stomach, did you add hot water. Anything that may be important. Contact me at dwatt78 [at] gmail[dot]com thanks.

Honestly, I tried the thick, organic honey and organic ACV with the mother. I bought them both at a health food store. I found no difference at all in my sweating, so I stopped taking it. Perhaps it works in some people and not in others. I so desperatley wanted this to work and I am really disappointed.

To Anonymous from Alanta,
God has answers to your problem of body odor today. Body odor generates from your Ampit especially when you sweat. I had that problem for a long time, no doctor could help. this is what actually cured me. LIME LIME LIME LIME. Limes works like magaic for body odor. get a piece of lime, using a knife, open the lime compeletely, u could cut it in two halves if u want to. USE the lime to rub the ampit for about 1 mins making sure that the juice stays in the ampit (under arm?). leave the lemon juice there for about 10 mins before taking a shower. do this just 2-3 times a day and you will see magic. the odor will be gone. you will notice the difference even the first day by evening. you can also use lemon in case you run out of lime. that is what i used to treat my friends and family members with body odor, it can be embarassing i can tell you that.
you can also use salt in place of toothpaste to brush your mouth in case u have mouth odor too. salt is very effective for mouth odor. it has a crazy taste but i will do it if that is what will help. you can then use your deoderant after show.
let me know how this Lime remedy helped you please.
All the best

To like to help from Silver Springs, MD: I too have the same body odor problems as Anonymous complains of and like Anonymous I also use the Zinc, Mag, and chlorophyll and nothing seems to be helping. When you say to use the limes 2-3 times a day how do you go about this when you are at work?? do you go to the rest room and apply more lime?? Also once you cut the lime does it lose some of its potency?? Body odor is exactly that Embarassing. If anyone can help, may God in Heaven bless them for the rest of their life.

Congrats on not sweating. As I was reading your post, I thought that it could have been written by me - I suffer the same type of sweating. I will easily sweat all over my body & it seems to be getting worse. It has even begun affecting my career & social life. I would love to talk with people w/out breaking out in a sweat.
I appreciate taking your time to post & have a couple of questions.
What dosage of Magnesium pills & how often?
What dosage of Sea Kelp pills & how often?

hey guys, I feel like I suffer the same sort of sweating disorder, I've tried so many things and spent alot of time and money through doctors, naturopaths, homeopaths trying to prevent the sweating but nothing has helped except for the homeopath, which made the connection with the anxiety as the sweating started after a heavy breakup and precribed me with a medicine that seemed to work for about a month but then seemed like my body got used to it and the sweting came back. The sweating first started in my armpits they would be drenched with out needing to partake in any exersice, I feel that its anxiety based as when I start to get anxcious I start to sweat. Anyway I started using drichlor 2 years ago and have found that it works for my pits but now have compensation sweating that alters from my back, bum, behind my knees and also my feet and sometimes my hands, but my pits stay dry with the aplication of drichlor probably once amonth but I can't cover my whole body in this stuff cause of the burn. Someone earlier stated magnesium also helps with anxiety so I think I will be trying that with the backup of sage, I will let you all know how it goes. It makes it easier knowing that im not the only one out there with the condition

After trying a few different things to no avail I tried taking supplements to decrease stress and that stopped the excessive sweating for me.
**I should note I only had "periods" on & off of heavy sweating (meaning it would happen for a few days to weeks and then get under control for a while before starting again). The random heavy sweating sometimes happened even when I was not doing anything to work up a sweat.

I've been suffering from excessive sweating since I was a teen. I also have fought depression most of my life and have taken a number of different medications... maybe the meds have triggered this problem, I'm not sure.
Here's my question and I hope a Dr. sees this post to possibly help me understand.
I took an MAO Inhibitor for the treatment of depression called Parnate for approx. 4 years. After I started taking Parnate, my excessive sweating went completely away. Even spending two weeks in the warm humid tropics, absolutely no sweat. Ony time I broke a sweat was during aerobic exercise which I see as being "normal".
Does anyone understand or know why an MAOI would remove this problem from my life...?
Stopped taking it and I sweat all of the time so I will defininetly try the ACV with raw honey concoction.

I read your post and a few of you mentioned the same problem with staining white clothes. The cause is aluminum in your deodorant. I don't know what brands do not contain aluminum so I just wear tank tops when it's hot. I also have constant sweating problems. In fact my whole family does. I sweat in winter, I sweat from head to toe, and even sweat off my makeup. I don't know how to subside this curse. I feel dehydrated in these hot Georgia summers. Help if anyone can please!

I recently did some research on why my shirts were turning yellow and it is the Aluminum in deodorant. It didn't always do this until the last 5 years or so. I tried some of the natural deodorant for the body odor but that stuff really irritated me to no end. I have been experimenting with using coconut oil and it seems to work. I would at times get a sticky feeling so it wasn't 100% for me. Any suggestions?

I thought it was the sweat staining not the deodorant :-/
Its been 3 weeks since I wrote on here. Ive taken 'Magnesium' 3x100mg a day, this doesnt seem to of done anything. After taking them for about a week I started taking 'Sage Leaf' aswell, as I read this was good for stopping sweating, I started with the bottles recommendation of 2x285mg twice a day. I did this for about 2 weeks, nothing changed. So I looked online and found out there is 1000mg to a sage leaf, so I upped my dose to 7x285mg in the morning till my pills ran out (4 days worth). Did a work out yesterday and I was still having sweat run down my face. So im considering not buying anymore. Dont want to waste money on something that isnt working. Im still taking 'Magnesium', im not sure whether to up that dose, to see if that works, im not sure the amount safe to take. Think I read on here before someone was taking 500mg a day. Im only taking 300ml. But like I said I was going to try and get to the root of the problem, so ive been and bought my 'Yeast busters' for my 'Candida' been taking them 3 days now. I will update on whether that makes any difference to my sweating.

I have been taking 250mg Magnesium every day before breakfast, and also using about 12 sprays of magnesium oil at night on my legs. I still have the debilitating sweating I have had since puberty (30 years ago). For me it is always my face and neck that are depressingly wet all the time, chest sweats but not as severe. No B. O. or underarm issues thank god. Except I notice the last two weeks my shirt and pillowcases are soaked when I wake up. My face is covered in sweat even after a 30 minute nap, and it could be fine right before I take the nap. Now the fact that it is July heat here in Texas isn't helping, but my question is if I am already supplementing magnesium and not seeing any change, what can I do?

Activated Charcoal
Posted by Jeanne (Atl, Georgia) on 06/10/2008

I had a large container of activated charcoal sitting in my cupboard the last 2 years that I rarely touch. I decided to give it a shot for body odor after reading about it on Earth Clinic. Yes, it works! You need to give it 2 days to get into your system before you notice the difference, then you need to maintain a dosage every day.
I do have a few side effects to note: Activated charcoal is best taken on an empty stomach, but I do not suggest taking it first thing in the morning. I drank my heaping tablespoon in 8 oz of water 2 days ago, then oil pulled. I ended up gagging up acid after 2 minutes of oil pulling. Yuck. This was interesting because I read that charcoal is actually a remedy for Acid Reflux! Well, then I changed to taking my charcoal in the middle of the day, before lunch. That seems to work. However, it does give me a slight stomach ache. You might also try taking it at night, several hours after dinner.
One benefit to the charcoal besides not having to use deodorant or baking soda (that irritates my skin, I must admit) is that I seem to sweat less when I have this in my system. It may be a remedy for excessive sweaters, I don't know... worth a shot. And it is a general detoxer, so that's a good thing in this hot and humid weather. Question for regular users of charcoal. Do you take it every day or is it something you need to stop every so often? Thanks!

I feel like I have found kindred spirits. I developed a sweating problem in my hairline, facial and neck area when I came to Atlanta five years ago from a colder and non-humid climate. I have clear flawless skin but would like to be able to wear a little make up without it melting off in the first 10 minutes. The temperature must be at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit = 10 degrees Celsius for me not to perspire prior to leaving my home.
I am a female 29 of Jewish, Korean and West Indian descent. I do not excessively sweat except in those areas mentioned earlier. It normally takes me about 7 to 10 minutes to cool down. I do not sweat on my palms. And when I exercise I perspire normally like most people.
Part of my problem I think is anxiety...regardless of where I am going. I do not have an odor problem. I have ruined some blouses-under arms. In the coming weeks I will try some of the recommendations many of you have suggested. I will post my results.
A little background about me- I am running (3 miles-4 times a week) on a regular basis and also a little weight, rollerblading, Pilates, rock climbing, skiing, snowboarding or hiking. I also like to swim. I refuse to allow my problem to get the best of me.
I normally take an ice cold drink (water) with me as I am leaving my home. I am a loner by nature. I have a few select group of friends. I think my problem has to do with social anxiety. For example, regardless of my destination I always breakout in a 3 to 5 minute sweat before leaving my home. I try to placate it by having the air conditioner or a small fan on in my bathroom. I mix aloe Vera gel in with my overall sun block and lotion after showering. On really humid days I have been known to take a discreet ice pack in a little drugstore bag and carry it against my waist or stomach if I am not driving. One would never know. It looks like I have purchased an item from a drugstore and simply carrying it.
I am very healthy. No thyroid problems. I am 5'3' and 98 pounds. I consume very little in processed, white sugar or fatty foods. I consume alot of fresh fruits, veggies, fish esp. those high in omega 3s, raw and non salted nor cooked nuts and seeds and only indulge once a week with things like chocolate, vanilla ice cream or the occasional steak.
QUESTIONS: Would someone please suggest a brand of Sage tea they have used? Please suggest measurements too.
I have researched the effects of the magnesium citrate. Does the Magnesium with zinc or plain magnesium work? What brand do you use? I am worried about the effects of the citrate.
Thanks in advance

I found sage tea bags for excessive sweating. For 10 years I have been embarrassed to work and socialize because sweat pours off my face, neck, and body down to my knees even in cold weather. I had my implants removed and after that I began to sweat profusely. Make-up will not stay on my face either because it just melts and runs off dripping onto my shirts. This tea I am using has sage, astragalus, St. John's Wort and Valarian and steep 3-5 minutes in 8oz hot water. I use distilled water & heat it on the stove and not the microwave. Drink 2 cups daily. It takes a few days to take effect. WARNING: It tastes awful but I add another kind of tea bag to help the taste and you can add sugar, honey and milk if you prefer. I prefer to make ice tea in the summer months and stay away from hot liquids totally.

I've had hyperhydrosis since puberty and it has seriously impacted my life in a negative way. I have been willing to try anything to lessen the embarrassing, ever prevalent drops of sweat pouring out of my body. I tried ACV, just a couple teaspoons in warm water with honey, and just once. A chain of events began from there, starting with severe constipation for 6 days. I won't go in to how this eventually led to problems with my period, but the end result was that I stopped taking the pill as a precaution. Since about 3 months after I'd stopped taking birth control pills, I also stopped sweating excessively; It's been 7 months of normal, situational appropriate sweating only!!! Before this, there wasn't one single day of my adult life where I wasn't constantly wiping sweat from my face, even when sitting still. No more night sweats either! My body smells different, like when I was younger; I got my libido back; and I no longer have issues with vaginal dryness. All that and I get to avoid the unacceptably high increase in risk of stroke!
After begging multiple doctors for close to 20 years for some solution, they all acted like it was an obvious and logical result of hormone changes. Then why on earth did they never once bring up hormones, the pill, or any other useful info?
Warning to people with highly sensitive bodies; Apple Cider Vinegar taken only once in a small dose put me in a considerable amount of pain and discomfort. I'm not saying it will do that to you, just thought I should let people on this site know as it's pretty easy to start to hope ACV is gonna fix you based on what you read. Good luck to all!

Hi I have the same issue as you with the excessive sweating on my face. Not a day goes by where I'm not dripping wet on my face and and it's so hard to go places and have my face dripping sweat and people looking at me like I am on something. My doctors don't say anything except oh well maybe you need to lose weight but I have lost weight. I lost a lot of weight and it has nothing to do with that. I have tried Botox on my forehead and that has never worked. I was wondering what it was you're saying about your period, because I have not had my period in 3 years now I was not on the pill but I have polycystic ovarian syndrome which causes infertility and have had constant constipation for a few years now. I was wondering what you were talking about when you said that the constipation and your period and the birth control has something to do with you're sweating. Thank you in advance. By the way I've also tried the ACV and honey and it didn't work either.

I have excessive sweating, it randomly happened about a year ago on my under arms and hands. Doctor First prescribed drysol, smelled like alcohol and i would apply it over night and would wear gloves to sleep. That stopped working so I was given motion sickness patches which really dried out my mouth but worked really well except i had to change it out every3 days. I bought liquid chlorophyll and sage fluid extract. a spoon full of the chlorophyll and 1ML (eye dropper with measurement) into a glass of orange juice a day and my hands and under arms are dry. its summer so i do sweat, but my hands are dry and my underarms. I also drink a glass of apple cider vinegar a day for over all health, but this may also be helping.

After coming on the site to find an herbal remedy for being so overly heated with excessive sweating, I opted to try the chlorophyll and sage and it works like a charm!!!! I was hesitant to believe it would work. I literally would take a shower put on all sorts of different types of deodorants and yet by the time I got to work I would be flooded with a puddle of sweat under my arms. Beyond embarassing. I was already putting chlorophyll into my water but I had fallen off. I went online and bought a 2 for 1 package of sage extract. What I do to help and will make this my routine here forward is in the morning I get a big glass of water, add 28 drops of the sage extract (as noted on the bottle) and then I add about an ounce of cholorophyll and drink it down (often with a squeeze of lemon juice in it as well). One other thing that seems to be helping as well is I put a small reserve amount of the water mixture and dip a napkin it and put the wet mixture under my arms like deodorant. I was not told to do it but thought I would try since sage apparently reduces sweating by 30-40 %. I have only been doing this for three days and IT WORKS!!!!!! I will assume I was deplete in certain nutrients/minerals. It honestly worked the same day I tried it but now after 3 days it continues to help! So give it a try and ASAP!

I have had excessive sweating my whole life. I am now 41 and it has gotten really bad. It is at the point now where it really affects not only my social life, but also my job. I constantly have to worry about whether or not I will have a cool room to be in, or if Iwill have to do something that will cause me to sweat. I need a cool off period before going places. It is terrible. Absolutely debilitating. I am so embarrased and self-conscious of it. I tried the organic ACV and organic (thick) honey and it made no difference at all. I will now try the magnesium. I am not sure what the dosage should be or what type of magnesium pills to use. Any advice will be appreciated!

Hi - I wanted to reply to the 2 people who wrote to my post about the apple cider vinegar honey drink helping my sweating... definitely try it, esp. if you have had ETS surgery (horrible surgery with horrible complications! Don't ever get it if you have hyperhidrosis (or anything else for that matter) - the debilitating side effects and sweating in other areas of your body will be even worse!!)
You have to get a certain type of Apple Cider vinegar - I cannot mention brands on this website but if you go to any health food store and ask for the non-acidic type of apple cider vinegar that is a brownish color with a yellow label on it they should know what you are talking about. Other vinegars can be harmful to you -they are too acidic!
The honey has to be a thick, coagulated honey that you have to scoop out. The best place to get this honey is at a health food store. Most supermarkets carry the thin, syrupy kind of honey and that type of honey mixed with apple cider vinegar did not work for me for some reason. Manuka honey is a thicker honey that also worked for me, although I think the thick, coagulated lighter colored honey worked best. If you decide to try the Manuka honey, get 1 with a low UMF# because the higher ones are too powerful (in terms of killing bacteria) for everyday use.
I hope you guys have success with the drink!

Hi ANONYMOUS...
I started taking drink after your first post, but before I read your second post, and like you said, it didn't work with the syrupy style honey. I'm now onto the thick, raw, organic honey and just started this morning. Do you have a specific way of making this concoction that you could share?
I had this surgery in early 2005 and my life hasn't been the same since. I'd give almost anything to take the sweating away and feel 'normal' again.
Thanks so much!

Hi Bb - It's good that you got the right kind of honey. I make the apple cider vinegar honey drink 3X a day on an empty stomach - about a half hour or so away from meals. The third drink I have at the end of the night before I go to bed - it stops the night sweats).
I don't know how much it matters to have it on an empty stomach but I had read somewhere that it did.
I drink it with a straw - the vinegar can wear away at the enamel on teeth so it is important to so this. Sorry if I forgt to mention this before. I also try to brush my teeth right afterwards.
I hope these suggestions help!

Had the ETS clipping and suffer from Compensatory sweating....This really works? And does it work when the weather is above 70 degrees? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had ETS surgery many years ago for excessive facial blushing and sweating and suffer from compensatory sweating on my back and chest as a side affect of the surgery. Although I have gotten used to theses affects they still do make life a little difficult at times and it can be quite uncomfortable when the weather is humid.
I have tried many different methods from antiperspirants, sage, magnesium and an e-book about loofahs and avoiding soaps. I did find some minor relief from the sage though, but still not effective enough in high humidity. Since finding this post I am delighted to give this remedy a try. I have purchase the organic vinegar and raw honey (which is the thick almost solid type of honey) which I am starting today.
I have one question as to how do you mix these 2 ingredients together as the honey is very thick.
Can you use hot water to break down the honey when mixing or will this reduce the effectiveness of the honey?
(Knowing the difference between raw and normal honey being heated and filtered)
All feedback will be appreciated.
I will post again a later date to determine how effective this treatment has been for me.
Good luck!

Did the apple cider and honey work for you yet?

As the weather is starting to cool down here in Australia I'm not totally convinced of whether this works. I have done some exercise during this period and would have to say the amount of sweat is still rather excessive. I would also like to add that i have been mixing this drink using hot water to dissolve the honey so I'm not sure if this affects the efficacy of the honey as stated in my first post. I will post again at a later date. I wish I had found this earlier so I could have tried it in the middle of summer here, which is very humid.

Everyone mentions using non-acidic apple cider vinegar but I cannot find any products that say that specifically. All I see is an organic vinegar that contains the "mother". Anyone have ideas on specific brands or where to buy this product?

In regards to brushing your teeth right after drinking the mixture, because the acidity wears away at your teeth it is better not to brush right after drinking. Instead drink something like milk or rinse with a ph balancing rinse to balance the ph in your mouth. Brushing right after is going to wear away at your enamel worse.

Reply to the thread on ACV and honey for sweating:
I have seen an improvement since using this therapy. Recently my feet had started sweating, which is very abnormal for me. For years I have been able to wear women's dress shoes with no odor or sweating. Since using this ACV honey I have seen an improvement and less sweating.
In addition, I am taking ACV for my seasonal allergies which are almost nonexistanct while I keep taking it.
For those of you who don't like the taste of ACV, I will offer this encourgement. I used to HATE the taste of it, really couldn't stand it. However, when I know something is good for me and makes me feel good I am able to build up a taste for it. Now I truly love the taste of it because I associate my improved digestion and allergy relief with it. Give it a try, and see if you can trick your brain into loving it too.

The health food store I contacted acted like I was crazy when I asked about "non-acidic apple cider vinegar" they told me that was the point of any vinegar is the acid. So I need help finding this brand of ACV that is brownish in color with a yellow label. I am ready to try anything for relief. Thanks

I think you are looking for Organic apple cider vinegar with "Mother" - that is what makes the liquid look brownish and milky - it is not filtered and clear to look through. The "mother" is what makes it so healthy. I was pleasantly surprised to find it mixed in woth all the other vinegars at my local Smith's grocery store. The yellow label is for the "_____" organic brand. You could ask for it by name and find it pretty easily I am guessing. Good luck. Be sure to locate "organic with mother" aka, not filtered.

I'm on day three of ACV with thick honey. My sweating is out of control. Sugar (honey) has always made me sweat and 4-6 teaspoons a day is WAY more than I usually eat. Yet, I was still hoping this was going to be the perfect cure. Did it get better before it got worse for anyone? Should I keep going for a week? Help :(

Footsweater: try Apple Cider Vinegar without any honey. maybe with a pinch of baking soda or even without it.

I just found this site today. I have excessive sweating that leads to odor. I tried the baking soda which works when it is not too hot, but my armpits are darken and sore. I was at a baseball game and I was so sweaty and stinky too.
The site mentions magnesium for excessive sweating and ACV and baking soda for odor. I will go get some magnesium in the morning. Check out some of the other postings.
What can I do about the baking soda rash?

Just had my first drink of the ACV and honey, not crazy about the taste and made my stomach a little upset. Is there any way to help with stomach upset or taste of mixture?

B from Lakeview, and others who just can't get around the taste - try adding a dash of cinnamon or stevia to your ACV. It will taste much more palatable then. I think it is yum.
