Medical Video: HOW TO: Get Rid of Body Odor INSTANTLY!
How upset are you if you find the person next to you has a very annoying body odor? How embarrassed you are if people don't want to get close because your body odor is bad? Disruptive body odor occurs when bacteria in the skin convert sweat to acid. As a result, an unpleasant aroma arises. This is also known as bromhidrosis, osmidrosis, and ozochrotia.
Sweat itself is actually odorless, but it is the proliferation of bacteria in the sweat that can cause the odor. This unpleasant body odor appears most at the age of puberty. This will continue to increase when you wear tight clothing for a long time.
You can actually reduce body odor by using loose clothing from materials that absorb sweat like cotton. You can also use deodorants or antiperspirants that can help limit sweat production and bacterial growth. However, sometimes these methods are still not effective enough to reduce body odor. Well, don't worry first. Using natural ingredients at home can help you reduce body odor.
What are the natural ingredients to reduce body odor?
1. Vinegar
Vinegar can be used to control unpleasant body odor. This is because vinegar can change the pH level of the skin to become more acidic. The acidic pH level of the skin can kill or inhibit the growth of bad bacteria that can cause the odor.
Vinegar can be used in several ways to reduce body odor. You can use apple vinegar mixed with water, then apply it to your armpit area. This method can help reduce bad odors in your armpit for a whole day.
Some people also try to soak the feet in warm water that has been mixed with a few drops of vinegar. This can help kill bacteria or fungi in the feet, which usually causes foot odor.
2. Sage leaves
There are three benefits that you get using sage leaves. First, sage leaves can reduce the activity of sweat glands so that it can reduce the production of excessive sweating.
The second benefit, sage leaves is an anti-bacterial plant that will prevent bacteria from multiplying on the skin causing body odor.
While the third benefit, sage leaves have a natural aroma that functions as a deodorant. Sage leaves offer an aromatic content that can keep you fragrant throughout the day.
Now, you can use this sage leaf in the form of oil and rub it directly under your armpit or on other body parts that smell bad. Another way is to brew fresh sage leaves with tea to drink or pour sage oil into your bath water.
