How to Get Rid of Body Odor
1. Smelly Pits are the Pits!
Nothing is sexier to than stinky, sweaty, smelly musk. Wait.. maybe not. hmmmm...
2. Getting Rid of Body Odors
You are what you eat
The number one factor in the average person's odor is FOOD. There is a direct correlation between the quality of food that you eat and your resulting body-odor as the food is processed and distributed throughout your body for energy. Spend just one day drinking nothing but water and staying away from fats and sugars and you will notice a big difference.
That being said, there are other possible causes of bad body odor including kidney and liver disease, fungal infections and poor hygiene. If you suspect a medical problem is at the root of your odor then go and see your doctor.
Tips for Getting Rid of Body Odor
- Stay away from refined sugar - it feeds bacteria and will increase your body odor many times over.
- Go for a jog or sit in a sauna. You'll be stinking it up at first, but after a while you'll flush out your pores and notice that your sweat no longer stinks.
- Anti-perspirants work to reduce odor, but they do so by clogging your pores and locking the odor-causing toxins and bacteria underneath the skin. This can lead to underarm cysts and pimples.
- If all else fails, spot wash with soap and water.
- Try and stay cool, sweat is a transmitter of the odor.
- Apply an absorbent powder such as baby powder to your underarms after bathing.
- A baking soda (For more uses of baking soda, read 75 extraordinary uses for baking soda) + water paste applied to the areas of smelliness can help neutralize existing odor.
- Alcohol and tobacco are known to contribute to foul body odors - cut back on the day of your big date. For more information regarding this article, read how to remedy body odor.

I am a stomach ulcer patient.I had a 5 day constipation and afterwards it has left me with severe body odur which gets worse when i use a perfume or deodorant.Even when i take my bath it doesnt go.Please somebody help me.
I know how you feel. I’m allergic DAIRY PRODUCTS besides sugar and peanuts. When i got rid of the dairy products i started having success at not smelling. I took most of the suggestions here and made them work for me. A spray bottle with lemon and lime (1/8 cup) to a spray bottle–now called lemon fresh spray– spray all over myself BEFORE I shower and use DIAL soap and after I shower I spray lemon fresh spray and another spray made from mouth wash (1/8 cup and water in a spray bottle). I mixed baking soda into my after showering bath powder. Also I take zinc and chlorophyll. Finally I hope I don’t stink anymore
i know how you feel.I found out i was allergic to milk and cheese, sugar and shell fish and some other stuff. On top of that i had a bowel infection (GASSY!!!) And then there were the parasites and digestive problems. Now that i got most of those issues cleared up I hope i’m smelling better. I’m trying anyway.
You can also use parsley tablets for body odors.
To get rid of unpleasant body odors after you shower or bathe you should rub down with green alcohol. Also drink plenty of water and every morning cut a lemon in half and squeeze it in like a cup of water. The lemon will detoxify your body and you will have better looking skin and no more odors or bad breath. Additionally try switching your deodorants up like wear Dove powder fresh for two weeks then the next two weeks use Secret fresh or Dove cucumber melon.

hi there, i think i have a worm, i noticed a strange smell in my breath yesterday, and my butt is ichy wich has never happend before, if i drink water i notice my breath smell worsens. do I have worms and how can i get rid of it????? please help
DRYSOL IS THE ANSWER FOR SWEATHING. it may cause more odor but not a drop of sweat. SSWEATH STAIN FREE
OMG!!!:D if ur having sweat stians porblems use DRYSOL! ive had it for like 2 weeks now and i only put it on once a week. not a drop of sweat. most ppl use it once a month but for now i use it once a week i mtie lesson it soon, but im the happiest person alive. i cud move around freely in bright shirts!:D
Hey guys…I notice a lot of you are saying you wash shower 2 times a day and wash more. That may actually be causing you to smell bad. Consistently scrubbing and washing your armpits can cause the natural balance of your body to go, sending it into overdrive and making it think it needs to sweat more, or that more natural bacteria is necessary. It overcompensates for all the cleansing you do. Try not washing more than once a day, if that. Yeah, for the first week you might not smell so great, but if you keep it up, your body will balance itself out and the vast majority of the smell will go away.
Also, bo involves what you eat. Sweat is one way for your body to dump all the toxins you accumulate. So if you eat a lot of heavy fatty foods, chemicals, oils and sugars (Bacteria feeds on sugar! Cut out refined sugar, it will help loads!) you will be getting worse bo. I know this gets said a lot, but eat more fresh foods like fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of water to flush the toxins out. Get exercise to sweat out those pores every day.
Lastly, things to do directly to your armpits - let them breathe. When no one is around and you don’t have to worry about those sweat patches, make sure you get airflow under those arms! Bacteria which causes odor looooves dark wet places, so don’t encourage that. Lemon is antibacterial, as is tea tree essential oil and lavender oil. Try applying the essential oils directly to the skin, or mixed with a carrier oil such as coconut or almond. Massage until absorbed, will smell lovely and kill bacteria!
Good luck guys!!
thanks for all the suggestion..
currently i am using the baking soda stuff..
but i use baking powder instead.. is it ok?? i read that baking powder also have the baking soda stuff..
i use baking powder during shower.. and after shower as powder..
being using it for 3 days.. so far.. my armpit doesn’t smell anymore!
To everyone who is having problems with sweat stains on their shirts or want to stop the sweating in your pits or other areas use “DRICLOR” it stops the sweating temporarily for about 2-3 days the most
You can use lemons and rub it at your armpit. it may be needed to be done a few times and maybe occasionally but it helps
I’m 15, in high school, and me of course like some of you smell very bad!
I would always stay away from girls and other people. In class I would ask the teacher to put me at the back of the class room. I was afraid that people would make fun of me. I hardly have any friend cause of this. Do baking soda really work?! I’ve tried some soaps, deo, and cologne. Yet it dosen’t seem like it works. Please give some tips! I really like this girl but i smell! I just want to be like everyone else.
Just like you guys!
ya just rub some lemon on ur armpits when u get out of the shower it helped me
when bathing add rose water a spoonful and stay in the bath for at least 15 mins it works very well.some babies stink and it works for them too. stop crushed garlic take it whole if needed.onion should be fried golden in food u take.guranteed effect.lots of water and citric juices.best of luck.
