Remedies For Body Odor.

      When we work we sweat, and when we sweat we give off a smelly body odor. Like our finger prints where no two are the same, the same goes for our body chemistry, our DNA and our body odor. Some people have a right down stinky body odor, while others could be working all day long and become really sweaty but they may not stink like other people do. You all know what I mean when someone walks by and they are giving off a smell that is disagreeable to all of us. Can we all say the same for ourselves that we never stink. We are all familiar with our own smell but to others we may stink also.
      The whole purpose of this article is to give some suggestions to everyone so that we may not have the odor that we smell in other people when they pass us by.
      One of the number one remedies for body odor in general is to take " Zinc " tablets. Zinc can be found in just about any store that sells vitamins and minerals. Zinc tablets will cause a balance in your body and it will get rid of body odor. I have taken these tablets myself one a day after a full meal. Or you could buy a bag of unshelled raw pumpkin seeds. These are very high in zinc, and they are tasty to eat.
      When we were children, my Mom would give us chlorophyll tablets saying that they got rid of body odors. Another way to stop body odor is to take a bath every day when you are going to be around other people. Do not use a bar of soap on your hair. Use shampoo and because it is concentrated it can also be used as a body wash, but I like to use it on my face. Shampoo is very comforting as a face wash and so is a liquid body soap. When you run out of shampoo, any concentrated dish soap or liquid body soap can make a good substitute as a hair wash. The dish detergent called " Joy " is good for an extra dirty body and/or hair when you have been working around gasoline, oil and grease.  Again do not use soap on your hair. Soap will cause your scalp to flake off and dry up the skin. Then you will have dandruff like you wouldn't believe. You can wash the rest of your body with liquid body soap or rub hand soap onto a wash rag and scrub down your whole body. Then you rinse.

      There is one smell that is a common smell on people who do not properly clean everything on their bodies. It is a must that you do the following if you do not want to smell as they do.Do not be upset at what I am about to say. You just do it and you don't say anything to anyone. Before you get out of the shower or tub, put plenty of soap on your rag and you clean out the inside of your rear-end. This will get rid of the smell that is common in those people who do not do this. If you want to be really fresh and clean and never have that odor that other people have, then always clean all your private body parts before you get out of the tub or shower. This in itself will clear up the odor that other people may smell. I am serious about this! In the long run you will be glad that you did. It will also help greatly in preventing cancer in those areas.
      After you get out of the shower, there are several things you can do to make yourself clean and fresh when you are around other people.Did you know that ' Baby Powder ' is not for just babies only. Adults can use it also with great success. You just just rub it all over your body and smell good for the rest of the day. If you don't like the smell then buy the unsented  baby powder. A good substitute for baby powder is Baking Soda or if you still have some of this around your house, use Borax Powder. Both of these can be rubbed all over the body and they will make you smell good all day long. They will also prevent your body from itching after climbing out of the shower. Also there is the common way of using under arm deodorants after a bath and/or use after shave on your face and neck for men or women could use perfume on themselves and their clothes. Remember also that wearing clean clothes will make a big difference also.
      Sometimes when my clothes don't smell 100% sweet, and I am too big in a hurry to change them, I will go into the bathroom and grab a can of air freshner and I will some what spray my clothes down so that I will smell better and I feel better also.
      One other area that gets stinky is the insides of our mouths. Mouthwashes, breath mints and gum only work for a very short time. But for long lasting results put baking soda on your toothbrush and brush your gums, brush the top of your mouth, brush the top of your tongue and on its sides and the bottom of the tongue, and then you rinse your mouth out with water. This will give you some sweet smelling breath for several hours, and it is not poopy smelling like what other people have. I know and I have used this remedy for many, many years. It may be simple but it sure does work.

      We can walk around smelling awful to other people or we can walk around smelling sweet. the choice is up to you. I am sure you have seen these car fresheners  that you hang up somewhere inside your car. well if your own body odor was something that bothered you when you were around other people, you could always wear a car freshener around your neck and hide it under your clothes, then you will know for sure that you will smell good to others all day long. These fresheners will also fit into any of your pockets.
