TheIndonesia.id - Bad body odor does make a person insecure. Although body odor occurs naturally, sometimes it can be caused by a more serious condition. Those who regularly eat spicy food are more prone to having body odor. Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, can also be the cause.

Sweat doesn't smell, the smell is actually the result of bacteria breaking down proteins into certain acids that mix with sweat. Certain factors, stress, ovulation, sexual arousal, and anger, can all contribute to body odor.

If you experience this condition, it's better to look for natural alternatives than use commercial products to cover up body odor. These commercial products only mask odors temporarily.

Quoting The Health Site, here's how to get rid of body odor naturally.

- Make sure you shave your underarm hair consistently. Underarm hair can increase odor because it traps sweat as well as bacteria.

- Use a natural deodorant, such as tea tree oil, which kills bacteria and also gives off a pleasant scent.

- Use essential oils, such as lavender, pine, and peppermint to fight bacteria that can make your body smell bad.

- You can also rub a little lemon on your armpits. Lemon can change the pH level and make the skin more acidic. All bacteria, especially those that cause odor, find it difficult to survive in highly acidic environments.

- Add green vegetables to your diet. This green leafy vegetable contains a lot of chlorophyll which has a deodorizing effect on the body.
