Tea for Sweaty Palms and Soles

My son, age 11, has the stinkiest feet! I heard about soaking feet in tea, and so I boiled some tea and made my son sit, soaking his feet in the tea for about half an hour. It really works! I was completely shocked and so was he! The stink was gone for about 3 months and must be repeated. But that was the sweetest smelling 3 months that we have had in a very long time!

WORKED GREAT ON SMELLY SWEATY FEET OF MY HUSBAND!! ONLY ONE SOAK, MADE IT REALLY STRONG AND JUST BOUGHT THE CHEAP $1 STORE BRAND OF TEA. HE NEEDS ANOTHER TREATMENT NOW, BUT NOT AS BAD. BUT IT HAS ALSO BEEN AT LEAST 8 MONTHS SINCE THE INITIAL SOAK. WE ARE SATISFIED. HAD A YOUNG TENNIS PLAYER'S MOTHER ASK ME (AS A NURSE) HOW TO SOLVE HER SWEATY PALMS WHEN SHE PLAYS TENNIS. WE WILL TRY THIS. WORKED GREAT ON FEET, SHOULD WORK ON THE HANDS TOO...

I wonder if it works for feet & palms if it might also work for underarms that suffer from sweating excessively?

It barely worked for me, it gave me slight relief and turned my hands & feet (nails included) orange. I even tried using vasoline on my nails, but it didnt help. Then when I tried the "white tea" bags, it gave no relief at all.

I'd hate to get a sympathectomy. I've read it is risky (as any surgery), but may not even be effective. Besides the fact that the sweat will most likely relocate & with my luck it will be my nose or something. I wish SOMETHING would help me. I even hate getting on the computer. The sweat bothers me all day everyday. awful.

i have sweaty hands and feet...if i soak my hands and feet in a quart of water containing tea bags will my sweaty hands be cured permanently? for how many days do i need to soak them in order to cure the problem permanently

I am a nurse and have suffered the embarrassment of sweaty stinky feet for years despite very good hygiene. I just tried this remedy and I feel the positive effects already. Thank you Thank you. I can not thank you enough!

I haven't tried tea for sweaty palms and soles and I guessed I would really try it after reading some comments here. I just would like to ask also if it could work also on sweaty underarms? Thanks!

I used Malt Vinegar on my feet and it cured my odour feet

i have really bad sweaty feet and hands and the tea bags don't really seem to help. the sweaty feet are sooo embarrassing. for how many days or weeks should i soak my feet in tea for? should i wash them with soap after i finish soaking them? help me please....

I'm 16 and have this problem too..I was surprised that I wasn't alone. I thought something was wrong with me.. But I will definitely try tea for both my feet and hands :) thanks for your help :)

I'm almost 15, and my hands and feet are very very sweaty. They don't stink, but it gets very frustrating when you can't wear your favorite pair of flip flops knowing that your feet will be sweating like crazy later. I'm starting to think it's all in my head and I'm getting nervous, but I'll be getting a job soon and I don't want things like this holding me back. I'll definitely try this :)

Please tell me what kind of tea I can use because there are so many teas in the store.

Thank you.

My son suffers from very sweaty palms and feet. His feet literally drip sweat. I told him about this and he tried it.

He steeps 6 tea bags in a quart of boiling water, then after 10-15 minutes adds enough cool water to make it manageable and then soaks his hands in it, then his feet. It also helps to squeeze the tea bags during the soaking to get all the tannins out. No more sweaty palms and soles! He does this a few times a week.

I am 12 and i have sweaty hands and feet, and it is embarrassing when you have to hold hands with people and they look at you weird :) and its annoying and I can't wear flip flops because they feel weird or slide off. i will try this.

My feet are always hot and therefore sweat a lot. I have ruined $100 shoes in less than a month because of the stink that I can't get out of them. I will definitely try this.

Also try putting some foam insoles in your shoes. They help absorb the moisture and also keep a little more air circulating around your feet. I have to change the insoles every few weeks but at least the insoles absorb the odor and not the shoes. (Use the foam ones, not the gel ones. Dr. Sholls are good, but some drug stores have their own brand which is usually much cheaper.)

I have had this problem all my life--feet and hands--dripping sweat. I am terrified of handshakes. Most of the time my hand and feet are terribly dry, but when I get a bit anxious or even think about it, they are dripping in seconds. The sweating is never mild. I have noticed that coffee has an effect on my sweating, so I am controlling its intake. I will definitely try the tea option, thank you.

I'm 15 and I had these disgusting sweaty hands since birth. Also my feet do get really red hot and sweaty . Both my hands and feet become hot and sweaty if I get a tiny bit nervous or if I'm just hot. I'm hoping to allah , jesus, god, christ , whoever is up there that the tea bag thing will work. I don't think i can take another handshake or another bad relationship with a male over this stupid palm sweat.

I'm too embarrassed to wear flip flops from the redness and sweat of my feet. I don't like raising my hands either , or even using my hands to touch someones else's belongings or whatever b/c they always have some kind of reaction like "are your hands that sweaty!?"

I know it sounds a bit over dramatic and stupid but I've cried over this multiple times b/c I could get over how people were making me feel about it. Thanks for the poor people to read my comment anyhow I'm done ranting and venting on this topic , ill be somewhat optimistic about this stuff and hope it cures my hands and feet !

I know how you feel. Same story over here. I do this yoga class thing and we have to get on our hands and feet on this painted wood floor and for some reason the weird floor makes pools of sweat form in my hands and I slide! It's so awful. Plus there's just the regular sweating for the heck of it.

I have not noticed coffee influencing my sweaty hands or feet, but that's an interesting thought. So glad I'm not alone!

I'm going to try this, so wish me luck!
:D

I have read a few websites that have recommended tea, so I am currently sat soaking my feet in tea right now (even though I hate tea & the smell is making me feel sick!!). I really hope it works because I have just started a new job & the smell is so embarrassing. Just a bit worried the tea might stain my skin & nails (has anybody else had that problem?)..will post results next week if this works or not!!!!!

Hi What Tea should I use? Is it black tea or lemon tea.. please advise.

I've read that you should use black tea... and the stronger the better!!
I've been using 1 kettle full of boiled water with enough cold water to cool it down, and 6 teabags!

I was wondering if this tea bag thing helped you? My hands and feet sweat way too much also! I used to think it was because I was nervous but I have realized I sweat even when I'm just laying on my bed. This is really messing with my life. Could you please get back to me!

I only did it for 4 days.. I think you are meant to do it for at least a week... but there has been some improvement!! But I'm not sure if that is down to the tea, or the fact that I have bought some new leather boots, have been wearing socks made from at least 80% cotton, and I have been putting talc powder in my socks every morning to keep feet dry! Keep trying the tea because at lot of people have said it works!!!

OMG the veeerryy first time I used it I noticed a difference. I just used it like two minutes ago and my hands BARELY have any sweat on them!

I used 6 tea bags of black tea a medium sized bowl with warm water, not boiling, and soaked for 10-15 minutes.
It worked amazingly well.

I have the exact same problem. It's horrible and its gotten to a point where I'm afraid to hold my boyfriends hand or give someone a high five. Has anyone found a solution to sweaty palms? (Palmar Hydrosis).

Ugh, My hands sweat sooooo much, I mean, just carrying a text book home from school makes the sweat drip down. And when I do my work, I weave wet spots on the papers and then they get all messed up.

I'm almost 17 now and to the point where I'm disgusted by it myself. Maybe it's because every time I give someone a high five or whatever, I get a response like "THAT'S SICK!" and it's super embarrassing. I've just stopped high fiving and whatnot and it just sucks because people think I'm just being a jerk.

And I also tend to avoid holding hands which makes the guy think I'm not interested even if I like him a lot.

I just feel like this problem holds me back from so much...
I'll try this, but will it stain my hands and nails?

wow. I didn't know that so many people had this problem too.

I'm almost 17 and have the same problem. I completely agree with you said teegee,
I hate doing tests copying down notes or anything cuz my hands sweat like crazy and it ruins my paper and what not.

Lately I've just started ignoring high 5s cuz I hate being criticized about my hands.

I'm gonna try this tea thing and ill see what happens... I hope this works.

-D

OMG I hope this works for me! I've been having the same problem, sweating on my feet and palm, ever since I was born. I totally agree with u Tegee and DM!!! I'm gonna try this tonight and I hope this works! Thank you People's Pharmacy!

While I was reading this my hands were dripping sweat, now 30 mins. after soaking them in tea they are a little damp, but it still helped. One negative thing about this that it will turn your nails slightly orange at the tips. I am going to try this again and hopefully see more improvement. Good luck to everyone.

Over the past five years, my hands and feet have become progressively damp and sweaty. Doctors have ruled out thyroid problems and anxiety as the root causes but I'm hesitant to go under the knife. I am more than willing to give this a try... will let you know about the outcome next week.

I hate this problem with my hands and feet sweating! I am 13 and have this problem, I had it since I could remember! I hate writing or drawing because of it.. Markers get all over the side of my hands and then my hands mess up the hole picture because my hands make dots and smear the picture! My hands are even sweating right now while writing this..... I really want this to work!

I always try to wipe of the sweat before I give people their stuff back! I wipe it on my pants sometimes and it puts sweat all over them! When I touch someones hands or something they always say "Ewwee why are your hands wet?" I usually just say "ohh I just washed them" or if they are my friend I just tell them and they always try and find a way to help meehh, sometimes they try to stay away from my hands but some friend I've known for years just forget and don't care anymore!! It makes my paper usually have dots on them, ruin the ink and paper, and make the sides curl!! I want this BIG problem to go away!!

Wow, I really hope this works!!!! I'm also a teenager and have been suffering from hyperhidosis for years. I get really sweaty hands, sometimes to the point where I can't write anymore:( and my face blushes really bad too, I am fair skinned and my face gets sooo red, people say i look like a tomato!) I hope this works, from now on I'm trying to get over this problem and move on.

btw don't be afraid of this problem, tell your friends so that when it happens they're not surprised and they understand rather than laugh. hope this helps. bye

I'm 17 and about two years ago, people started to comment that my hands felt wet or would ask if I had just washed my hands. At first, I thought they were mad, but then I noticed it myself, and I cannot tell you how much I hate it. High 5's, hand shakes, even helping a friend put a bracelet on are all horrendous tasks. So I looked on this site and found the tea thing, I did that and I kind of felt it working but I didn't want to use all the tea bags to soak my hands every night.

So one day I went to get a spray tan and the beautician put Vaseline petroleum jelly on my hands and then asked me to rub the excess onto a tissue. I did that just so the tan wouldn't stick to my palms but I noticed that my hands had stopped sweating and I had relief until I washed my hands. I have started to apply it, and I will do so for a week and tell you whether it works.

Oh god these many people with same problem that I am facing, great I am not alone.
OK I too will try this tea formula, hope good things to happen.

bye my sweaty palm friends.

None of us are alone - many, many people suffer from hyperhydrosis.
There is a non-herbal solution and it involves Botox.
Can be very costly unless you are insured.

I feel each and every one of your painful experiences with sweaty hands and feet. It has only been recently that this problem has gotten out of hand for me. I really think it is just all in our heads. But its hard not to think about it once you start to sweat. I'm going to try this tea soak thing also. I heard sage tea works best. God bless you all. I will keep you in my prayers. Have FAITH!

I am 20 years old and I have been struggling with really sweaty hands and feet for as long as I can remember! It's extremely uncomfortable. It's the most embarrassing feeling ever. I am married now and I am still super scared to even hold my husband's hands. I had never confronted this problem with him before but I would see him wiping his hand on his pants after holding mine and it was horrible.

The other day I told him that I wanted to do something about it and I started doing some research and found this!! I am praying it works for me! I don't have insurance but if I did I would go get that surgery right away! I don't wanna be worried about shaking ppls hands anymore or holding my daughter's hand or my husbands! Let me know any other tips that you have thank you!!!

I'm really suffering with the same...! its getting worst day by day ... I will try this and will update the result soon..!

I'm so glad I finally found something for sweaty hands and feet I'm 40 years old and I've been having this problem since i was a teenager. I'm embarrassed to hold hands with my husband I pray that the tea works for me.

I'm 18 years old and have had sweaty hands and feet for years now. It's so embarrassing being a girl and wanting to go get your nails done but too ashamed because your hands sweat and holding or shaking someones hands because they look at you funny or even simple as wearing open shoes. People ask how you're feet can sweat in open shoes but it just happens and I can't help it.. So I'm going to try this tea bag treatment and hopefully it works. It's good to know that I'm not the only one with this problem.

well I been suffering for hyperhidrosiss like all of you. The tea that helps also the name is sage tea drink 2 times a day and it helps but I am goonna try to soak my feet and a black tea and if you have any tips for me please leave a comment. My name is JUAN ok thank you and good luck to us all.

I am a senior citizen, female, who suffered most of my life with drippy hands and feet. Several years ago we installed a whole house water softening system using salt as the agent. After about four days my hands were bone dry and my feet barely get damp. I can tell when it is time to add more salt because my hands will begin to get moist. This is not a cheap solution, but a lot of companies will install their system on a trial basis.

Hi I am also suffering a lot, Can anyone help me what is the best way to get rid of it?

HI
I'm 16 and recently got a boyfriend really freaking out like hell because of my sweaty hands I mean I'm lucky to have occasional sweaty hands sometimes not like some people dripping and whatnot so yeah they're just wet for example they are dry and nice at the moment but I get really embarrassed when I'm playing on the computer at school because they mouse is wet from my hands definitely gonna try this as soon as my gets sweaty wish me luck :) xx

I'm a 16 year old guy with this same horrible problem too. School just started today and I was so afraid of what people would think or say if they would see my sweaty hands and notice my sweaty feet. And when I got to school, It just felt so horrible, with new faces and all that and most of all, I couldn't stop thinking about this stupid problem so I started sweating a lot and it really destroyed my day (as always for the past five years) sigh ...
But definitely gonna give this a try ^^ Glad knowing a lot of people out there share this same thing.

I just tried this and I have school in 6 hours so goodnight and I'll get back to you asap ...and ps tomorrow is my bday and I'm asking out this girl that I like haha...well night.

I'm 12 and I just recently noticed that I had "sweaty" hands. Only a couple people, cousins, and my mom said they do feel a little clammy. I read all the comments and I KNOW my problem isn't as bad as theirs. I'm just scared when I get a boyfriend he's not going to want to hold my hand or I'll be afraid to hold his. I hope this works but I don't think my mom will let me use all the water and tea bags. I hope it works its just down right embarrassing!
