Steps

Step 1
Take a shower
Take a shower, daily, using natural, plant based soaps.
-
Step 2
Eat natural food
Eat natural or organic foods with lots of fiber, grains, and leafy green vegetables. Drink loads of clean water, and add 500 milligrams of wheat grass, which will reduce body odor.
-
Step 3
Apply red radish juice
Apply red radish juice to your feet and under your arms to smell fresh.
-
Step 4
Clean your pits
Rub lime under your arms, or use deodorant soap, baking soda, or white vinegar with water to rinse them.
-
Apply baby powder or talc after washing under your arms.
-
Step 5
Soak in tomato juice
Soak in a bath with two or three cups of tomato juice for about 15 minutes. Follow with a natural deodorant of two drops of tea tree oil in a spray bottle of water.
-
Step 6
Dry your feet
Dry your feet thoroughly and wear natural fabrics to let your skin breathe. Cotton socks control sweating and odor.
-
Step 7
Brush teeth and tongue
Brush your teeth and tongue regularly and avoid mouthwashes with alcohol, which only temporarily cover smell. Drops of peppermint oil kill bacteria and will freshen your breath naturally.
-
Step 8
Wear scented natural oils
Wear scented natural oils from citrus mint, lavender, or vanilla to calm any anxieties you have about suspicious odors. Check with an allergist to be sure you’re not allergic.
-
Did you know? Sweat is the body’s way of releasing excess heat and does not actually smell. The bacteria it fosters is what smells.
