Body Odor Treatment

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 fewer 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 Sulphur 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.
