excessive-armpit-sweating-deodorantNormal sweating helps to keep the body temperature steady in hot weather, during a high temperature (fever), or when exercising.

Every healthy human produces approximately 1-2 pints of sweat a day, which is an odorless liquid. Chemically based commercial products have been known to contain products that block the sweat glands and inhibit their natural temperature regulation. The decomposition of bacteria on the skin form substances with odor.
