Body odour or bromhidrosis is the smell of bacteria growing on the body. These bacteria multiply rapidly in the presence of sweat, but sweat itself is almost completely odorless. You can get rid of body odor by following ways:
*Wash regularly, which means bathing or showering with a mild soap or shower gel at least once a day.
*Use an armpit deodorant and/or an anti-perspirant on a daily basis.
*Choose loose fitting clothing made from natural fibres (cotton, linen etc), and avoid synthetic fibres, especially in the genital area. This will allow the skin to breathe and won't trap sweat so much.
*Stop smoking as smoke not only sticks to the clothes and hair, it also causes bad breath, and is secreted out through the skin too, creating a more generalized internal odor.
*Some natural health practitioners have noted that body odor may sometimes be reduced by supplementing the diet with zinc, magnesium and vitamin B-complex. Chlorophyll (in the form of spirulina, chlorella etc) may also help, as it is a natural deodoriser.
*if your body odor problem is related to fungal growth on the skin, try washing the armpits or other affected area with an anti-fungal shampoo, and/or apply tea-tree based remedies. Coconut oil is an effective natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial product.
*In some cases, body odor is related to diet. Common foods that cause body odor include strong spices, sulphur- and/or choline-rich foods such as eggs and fish, garlic, excessive meat consumption, onions and strong-smelling herbs, junk foods containing rancid fats, and drinks such as alcohol and coffee. Try avoiding them.
*It's also important to drink plenty of water, as this can help to dilute the sweat, providing less 'food' for the odor-causing bacteria to feed on.
