Sweating and Body Odor/Body Odor Remedies

Anaerobic bacteria, which flourish when your body doesn’t have enough oxygen, may well be the cause of your body odor. As the body’s metabolism goes to work, it gives off odors which is the body’s way of ridding itself of waste products.

Body Odor Remedies

Drinking water
- To prevent body odor, drink a glass of water in the morning, on an empty stomach, along with 500 mg wheat grass. The chlorophyll present in the grass will help in reducing body odor.

Baking soda
- You can also apply baking soda to your armpits as well as to your feet, to reduce body odor.

Alcohol or white vinegar
- While bathing, add alcohol or white vinegar to a mug of water and use it to rinse the armpits. This will definitely help in lessening the body odor.

Rose water
- One of the simple home remedies for body odor is to put a few drops of rose water in the bathtub, before taking bath. It will give you a long lasting freshness and serve as a good substitute for deodorant.

Apple cider vinegar
- To reduce the pH of the skin and eliminate armpit odor, one can use apple cider vinegar instead of deodorant. Put it in a mug of water and use it to rinse the armpits, while bathing.

Summer season
- Take showers, at least thrice in a day, in the summer season, when one tends to sweat a lot.

Homemade deodorant
- Prepare

Baby powder
- During summers, you can apply the baby powder or talc to your armpits, in place of deodorants.

White vinegar
- Pour some white vinegar on a cotton ball and wipe your underarms with the cotton. While the vinegar smell would fade in some time, you would remain smell-free for the rest of the day.

Tea tree oil
- Mix two drops of the tea tree oil (essential oil) and one ounce of water. Pour this in a spray-top bottle and use as a deodorant. Since tea tree is an antibacterial herb, it would act favorably in preventing body odor.

Essential oil
- Mix 10 drops of the essential oil in 30 ml water. Apply this mixture on the armpits to reduce body odor.

Turnip juice
- Turnip juice is also effective in removing body odor. Grate a turnip and squeeze the grated pieces to extract the juice. Apply this juice on your underarms.

Tips

For excessive underarm odor, try using a mild solution of hydrogen peroxide (3%) that is cheap and can be picked up at the pharmacy. Put a teaspoonful in a glass of water and wash the underarm. If that doesn’t work, increase the amount of peroxide.

Since toxic overload may be one of the causes, try taking steam baths or saunas frequently as part of an overall detoxification program.
