There are some people who avoid shaking hands because they are embarrassed of their sweaty hands while others avoid removing their shoes as much as possible because of their sweaty feet. Although sweating is our body’s way of helping us cool down, too much can become a source of problem for us. There are several factors that can cause sweaty hands and feet such as nervousness, hormonal problems, stress, and others. If you are one of those individuals who have difficulty dealing with their sweaty hands and feet, these home remedies may help you out.
Rosewater
Getting your hands on organic rose water can help you deal with your sweaty hands and feet.
