A previous article has discussed the basic methods of combating body odor, such as improving hygiene and personal grooming. Antiperspirants and/or deodorant sprays can also be used. However, these are only good for masking the body odor problem. If you are desperate, you can resort to methods such as surgery and Botox injections. However, surgery is not without its harmful side effects and Botox is just another temporary fix.

If you suffer from chronic body odor, this may be due to fungal growth. You can try using an antifungal shampoo like Nizoral(TM) on your underarms while showering. This, of course, includes lathering it up and letting it sit for a few minutes. For stronger medications, a doctor should be consulted; some antifungal medications are more effective than Nizoral, but these are generally only available by prescription. Nizoral can be easily purchased online or at good pharmacies/pharmacies.

Since bacteria can only grow in moisture, a person who suffers from body odor may want to use antiperspirants instead of deodorants. However, deodorants that specifically target the inhibition of bacterial growth can also be considered as an option. An easy way to keep your armpits free of body odors is the method of using diluted lemon juice. By adopting this method, one will have to experiment with concentration. If the solution is too strong, the skin may burn or develop redness and bumps, in which case a couple of days should pass before a second attempt. You must first taste the solution to judge its acidity, the component that will prevent harmful microorganisms from thriving in your armpits. Body odor could also be prevented by shaving the armpits, which in turn makes it easier to apply antiperspirants or deodorants.

Another tip to prevent body odor emissions would be to simply reduce the odor through your diet. This includes avoiding processed foods or trying to mask them, for example with baking soda or ground cinnamon. However, it is important to continue vital bodily processes.

Applying extra virgin coconut oil to the skin can also help. This is because the oil contains lauric acid which kills bacteria. You can also apply talcum powder to the underarms of your clothing and rub it in (don’t forget to remove evidence of dark clothing by rubbing from the outside). It can also be applied to the skin after deodorant (do not rub). Perfume can also be sprayed on clothing or added to the washing machine while washing. With regards to men, cologne should not be used to mask odors as it will most likely make things worse.

In addition, you can use chlorophyll gel tablets or liquid chlorophyll that work as internal deodorants, minimizing or eliminating body odor. Also keep in mind that foods high in sulfur, like garlic and eggs, are the ultimate culprits for people suffering from body odor problems. These products are also easily accessible online.
