#sudorific
- Antiperspirant — Having the property of diminishing, blocking, or regulating sweat secretion by temporarily obstructing skin pores; a substance or cosmetic formula structurally adapted to prevent underarm wetness and unpleasant odors. Unlike a purely deodorizing lotion, an antiperspirant composition acts directly at the level of eccrine glands using aluminum-based compounds.
- Antisudorific — Having the property of diminishing or suppressing the secretion of sweat; a medicine, phytotherapeutic remedy, or galenic preparation used in the treatment of hyperhidrosis. Unlike simple cosmetics, this often designates compounds with a deeper systemic or therapeutic action, influencing autonomic nervous system receptors or the deep structure of the glands to regulate cutaneous fluid balance.
- Sudorific — A person who sweats profusely following extreme exertion; a laborer who toils to the point of exhaustion. As an old medical adjective or noun, it refers to a factor, remedy, or substance that has the property of inducing or stimulating bodily sweat secretion.
- Sudorific — An archaic and regional form for the adjective 'asudător'; having the structural quality of inducing sudoration or perspiration in the human body.
