Answer 1

Remedies
Folk
Alcohol/witch hazel Wipe your armpits with alcohol, white vinegar or witch hazel instead of deodorant.

Alum Try using a crystal rock made from the mineral salt potassium alum instead of a deodorant. It won't keep you dry as an antiperspirant will, but they clog your sweat glands and contain aluminum chlorohydrate, which may lead to future health problems.

Apple cider vinegar Apple cider vinegar eliminates under arm body odor when used in place of deodorant because it reduces the pH of the skin. Bacteria can't live in areas with low pH.

� White vinegar is also helpful. Place some on a cotton ball and apply to the underarms instead of deodorant. The vinegar smell is gone in minutes and you should be smell-free all day.

Baby powder Use baby powder or talc in areas of heavy perspiration.

Baby wipes (see towelettes below) also work, but the results may be temporary.

Baking soda Baking soda, the odor-eating standby, can be used instead of deodorant. Just apply the powder to your dry armpits. It will kill bacteria and help absorb perspiration. Cornstarch can also be used instead or mixed with the baking soda.

Bauxite crystal deodorant works very well at controlling underarm odors.

Parsley/alfalfa Chewing parsley, alfalfa and other leafy greens will help neutralize body odor, probably because of the deodorizing effect of the chlorophyll.

Radishes Juice about two dozen radishes, add 1/4 teaspoon of glycerine, and put in a squirt or spray-top bottle. Use as an underarm deodorant or to reduce foot odor.

Rosemary is an antibacterial herb. Put 8 to 10 drops of the essential oil in 1 ounce of water and appy it where needed.

Sage Herbalists suggest drinking a cup of sage tea daily to reduce sweat gland activity. This is especially true for those who perspire excessively due to tension. Use 11/2 teaspoonsful of dried sage or two tea bags in one cup of water; steep for ten minutes; drink in small doses throughout the day.

� Fresh sage leaves blended with tomato juice has been found to be very effective.

Tea tree is an antibacterial herb. Make a deodorant by putting 2 drops of the essential oil into 1 ounce of water and apply where needed.

Towelettes (baby wipes) Useful when a tense moment surges the sex hormones which produce fluid under the arms and around the genital areas that, when combined with bacteria, causes odor.

Turnip juice Turnip juice will reduce underarm odor for up to 10 hours. Grate a turnip, squeeze the juice through cheesecloth, so that you have two teaspoonsful. Wash your armpits first, and vigorously rub one teaspoonful on each one.

Wheat grass Take 500 mg of wheat grass daily on an empty stomach and wash down with a glass of water. The chlorophyll will dramatically reduce body odor.

Homeopathic
Silicea Homeopaths recommend dissolving three 6X

Answer 2

What is this modern hang-up with "body odour", we spend ££££'s on deodorants (chemicals) to get rid of "them" and then ££££'s on perfumes (yet more chemicals) for what, to attract or repulse a mate. What's wrong with being socially clean ie washing, bathing, showering regularly?

Pheromones ---- a chemical substance released by an animal, (that includes humans), for detection and response by another usually of the same species. Fr. Gk phero - convey + hormone. More powerful than any artificial scent!

Answer 3

Tomato juice will work if the odor is caused from being sprayed by a skunk! If it is just plain B.O.... a good long hot shower with plenty of soap, shampoo, followed by deoderant and some powder....go crazy on all the above!

Answer 4

Well, tomato juice takes the skunk smell out if a dog gets sprayed. But I was just gonna say to shower as often as necessary and use an antiperspirant.

Answer 5

I don't know anything about the Tomato Juice thing. I advice you to take your time taking a bath. Srub the ones that have smell when you perspired. Then, after bathing, put powder in your body, then apply deodorant if you want.

Remember, personal hygiene is important...

Answer 7

Not true.

Best ways to prevent body odour is to bathe every day and use deodorant every morning.

Answer 8

after taking a shower with your shower cream/soap and..of course water...wear a deodorant.then spray yourself with body mist or any fragrant spay or cologne all over and after that use a talcum powder or any fragrant powder which will stick to your body after spraying the cologne and that'll keep you fresh and dry all day long. and also smell good all day long..

Answer 9

shower daily (maybe twice daily) and use an antiperspirant deodorant - using a cologne or perfume could add a scent to your body but it wouldn't prevent anything

Answer 10

by taking a bath and using deodorants. you can also try antibacterial soaps, cause body odor comes from bacteria and remember to wash and rinse it well...
