Hi MissyLove

Here are some ideas to use to heal the issue.

Cause
The most common cause of body odor is poor hygiene and uncleanliness. Sweat has no odor but, if left on the skin for a few hours, bacteria decompose the sweat. This can cause body odor. The next most common cause is sweat containing a high level of garlic, curry, or other spicy food. However, when a person is very healthy, usually the foods can be eaten without lasting odor effects. Other causes of body odor include nutrient deficiencies (usually zinc), underlying health problems (usually liver disease or diabetes), or gastrointestinal problems (such as parasites or chronic constipation).

Your feet can be most affected due to the warm, airless environment insides shoes, boots, and sneakers, so check the condition of your feet and footwear. Also consider excessive caffeine consumption or emotional stress, which can influence body odors.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Sage is a useful essential oil for preventing body odor.

Detoxification: To help prevent unpleasant body odor, do a bowel cleanse and rejuvenation program several times a year.

Diet: The more wholesome your diet is and the greater the balance of nutrient biochemistry is in the body, the less chances there are of unpleasant odors emanating from the body. Eat a whole foods diet that includes at least 1/3 to 1/2 raw foods. Increase fluids and pure water (seven to eight glasses per day). On rising and before bedtime, drink one glass of water with the juice of a fresh lemon and one teaspoon of chlorophyll.

Juice Therapy: Drink fresh-squeezed, organic vegetable juices once or twice a day.

Homeopathy: Hepar sulph and Sulfur are both useful homeopathic remedies for treating unpleasant body odor.

Lifestyle: Wash your entire body at least once a day. Consider Colon Cleansing.

Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can help prevent and reduce unpleasant body odor: vitamin B1 (50 mg two times daily while problem exists and then 20-30 mg one time daily several times a week for one year), vitamin B complex, vitamin A (25,000 IU daily for a few weeks), vitamin C (increase the amount and frequency during periods of stress), chlorophyll, magnesium, PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid), and Zinc. Liver glandulars may also be helpful.

Skin Brushing: This staple of naturopathic medicine, which involves the use of a natural bristle brush that is gently used to scrub the skin of the entire body in gentle circular motions to encourage removal of dead skin, improved local circulation, elimination through the skin, and enhanced skin function generally, can be a powerful tool in preventing body odor. It should be performed daily for at least 5 minutes and ideally be followed by a bath in which essential oils are used.

Topical Treatment: Apply baking soda under arms and between toes. Avoid aluminum-based antiperspirants.


Best of health to you

Natural Remedy For Body Odor

Answer 3

First we all have odor and a lot of it is caused by the things we consume. That being said you say you use deodorant. What about antiperspirent, deodorant together? There is a difference. One stops prespiration, somewhat, and the other cuts down on odor. You need both.
Also, medicated powder is a better choice thatn perfumes. A natural oil can work better than perfume because perfumes react differently on different people and tend to fade very fast because they have an alcohol base. Try Shower to shower powder on all areas that prespire and carry it with you and us it during the day to absorb wetness when needed. Then Use a natural oil, check at the natural foods store or on line at a natural or homeopathic supplier for them. Pick a fragrance that you like. Also, you may not be as smelly as you think. Maybe people are telling you this to make you feel bad?? Is this possible? Good luck either way.

Answer 4

Checked out the web site you mentioned and they did not give you much info to go on and did not tell you what the product was or even if there was a product. So I would not send my hard earned money to them.

As far as your body odor problem. Are you sure that you do have a problem and its not just you thinking that you do? Sometimes I think I smell and ask my family and they tell me I smell fine. You say that you use deodorant, do you use an anti-perspirent? They help stop wetness and that in turn helps keep the bacteria from forming so quickly in your armpit area. You can also spray your feet with anti-perspirent and that will keep foot odor away.

Also, make sure that you are using the proper amount of laundry detergent in the washer and using the hottest water that the clothing will stand to kill odors and germs. If you can use bleach on some of the white clothing, do so, that also kills germs. When I have a particularly smelly load of laundry, I use something called ODO-BAN in the final rinse. I buy it in gallon bottles from Sam's Club. It works well.

Answer 5

The only things I can think of are stress and diet! if you eat lots of garlic and onions, it eventually oozes out your pores (the scent). Also, if you're REALLY stressed, it can activate your sweat glands and produce very pungent body odor. If you're stressed, try deep breathing and meditation (I accidentally wrote "medication", but actually, until you get the stress under control, if that's what you have, a mild anti-anxiety drug will help. Just don't rely on it too long!).

Answer 6

ok well yeah you can try different product but also.....you can also lay low on the onions and garlic because when u sweat ...you sweat that odor. Lemons are good for odor as well...just eat them. with skin...but dont over-do it cuz u can become enimic. you know those lemons...the yellow ones and yes its safe to eat the skin of it...its all edibul. Baking Soda as deodorant helps. hope this helps.....also maybe only you can smell it like ur too coustios about it and its phycological.....oh wait i herd something about it on the Tyra show.....maybe their research on that website... www.tyrashow.com check it out. what ya gatta loose?

Answer 7

take a bath as often as you can, don't scrub your underarm as it may scratch or irritate your skin which can also cause dark underarm. You can use alum, calamansi (citrus) as deodorant; but the most effective of all is hydrogen peroxide. after taking a bath, dry your body as usual and rub hydrogen peroxide in your underarm as if you do with body lotion. It's 100% effective, your underarm will not only be smell free but will also whiten. The effective elements found in hydrogen peroxide kills any bacteria thus inhibits the development of bad odor.

Answer 8

I like to use that deotorant that looks kind of like a crystal rock thing. You can find it in health stores, sometimes even in regular stores. it lasts forever and it really helped me get rid of that armpit smell that always seem to have a couple hours after showering. I don't even have to use it daily anymore and it still works.

Try something called Prosit, it is something that would clean your blood. If there are toxins causing this odor then Prosit would remove them. Search Yahoo stores or
