Natural Self Cure For Body Odor by IamBenita(f): 9:03pm On Feb 18, 2020
Sweating and body odor are caused by sweat glands in the body. The two main types of sweat glands are eccrine glands and apocrine glands. Eccrine glands occur over most of the body and open directly onto the surface of the skin. When the body temperature rises, these glands release fluids that cool your body as they evaporate.

Apocrine glands are found in areas where you have hair, such as your armpits and groin. These glands release a milky fluid when you’re stressed. This fluid is odorless until it combines with bacteria on your skin.

A large concentration of apocrine glands is present in the armpits, making that area susceptible to the rapid development of body odor.

Here are Ways to Control Armpit odor:

1) Keep the armpits clean – Wash them regularly using anti-bacterial soap

2) Hair: When armpits have hair, it slows down the evaporation of sweat, giving the bacteria more time to break it down into smelly substances. Shave the armpits regularly, as this helps to control body odor.

3) Deodorant or antiperspirant: Deodorants make the skin acidic, making it more difficult for bacteria to thrive. It blocks the sweating action of the glands, resulting in less sweating.

Here are Natural Remedies Get Rid of Body Odor that Really Works.

1. Lemon Juice.

lemon juice contains acidic properties which helps to lower the skin’s pH level, making it difficult for odor producing bacteria to survive. Lemon juice is best used to fight bacteria on the armpit.

Cut one lemon into two halves. Rub one half of the lemon on your underarms. Make sure the juice gets onto the skin. Allow it to dry very well before taking a shower.

2. Tomato Juice Bath.

Tomato juice is a good remedy for getting rid of bad odor.

Add cups of tomato juice in your bath water and soak yourself for 15 minutes.
