Mix 1 tbsp liquid chlorophyll (you can get this mint flavord) in water and drink everyday. The chlorophyll is an 'internal deoderant' and will cleanse your blood and make all 'discharges' smell better - body odor, foot odor, female odor, etc.

Body odor is a sure sign of a nasty colon with filth that is trying to escape. Clean the nasty filthy colon and you clean the body odor.

A natural doctor told me once to use a lemon.

you take a lemon, and cut it in half, remove the seeds, and you can use this as a deodorant, it will cover the smell and help a lot with perspiration. you can re use the half of the lemon used, just use something to seal it with like plastic wrap and keep it in your fridge, just make sure everyone knows which lemon not to eat :)

use deodorants that are made of 100% natural minerals. (rock minerals or crystal deodorants). they do not just coat the odor with perfume; they're in fact fragrance-free, they eliminate those bacteria that cause the odor. tyr applying every day and after a week the odor will be gone!

ZINC!ZINC!ZINC! Thank God for Zinc! I take a daily tablet of Zinc of 50mg (bought at the vitamin dept. at walmart),and my armpits don't stink anymore AT ALL! I can be outside doing yard work and at the end of the day my armpit don't stink. This has been an embarassing issue for me for years and I found myself constantly throwing away shirts that has been ruined by the odor. Take zinc with a glass of milk or food, do not take it on a empty stomach.

For underarm odor:

Roll 3 unpeeled lemons on hard surface until soft. Cut lemons in half. Rub each half on armpit, alternating pits. Shower afterwards. If you have hairy armpits, shave the day before. Acidity kills the odor.

Clean under your armpit. Then slightly wet armpits with water. Apply Baking Soda under armpits a few times.

It works by killing bacteria and absorbing body odor.

To cure over excessive under arm sweating. Wash the arm pit clean first (of course) pat under arm dry with a dry wash cloth, then take another wash cloth or cotton ball and soak it up with alcohol and run it under your arms let dry and use a deoderant with baking soda and oui la you have clean dry under arms. It works fine just try it and you'll see. Oh the deoderant you use doesn't have to be any particular brand just make sure you apply the it with baking soda.

Use tea-tree oil instead of deodorant or antiperspirant (which is very bad for you). It works *loads better* than antiperspirant, and somehow even when you sweat, you don't stink. Very cool.

I have only just discovered this, and it's changed my entire routine. It's my greatest discovery.

The only downfall is that you may not like the smell. I know I do, and my boyfriend does too, however!

Use baby powder to control perspiration and odor on any part of your body like feet, genital area, or arm pits. Also try shaving/trimming arm pits hairs and pubic hairs to reduce both perspiration and odor as well. These two things combined with regular showering/bathing and using clean clothes daily should help.

Body odor is most commonly caused by an over abundance of 'bad bacteria'. Showers and baths are a temporary fix. You need to kill the bad bacteria and that can be done with several natural ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Hydrogen Peroxide, Witch Hazel, or Rubbing Alcohol. It is easiest to apply these with a spray bottle. Spray your deodorant to disinfect it at the same time. By by BO!
