All about
body odor
We have all experienced body odor
at some time in our life - whether it was after sweating through a
particularly strenuous game of sport or wearing a certain pair of
shoes that always seem to cause smelly feet! Body odor can be
unpleasant as well as embarrassing and, for some people, it is a
constant worry.
What causes
body odor?
Though most people think of body
odor as being caused by perspiration, there is more to the problem
than this. Body odor is actually produced by a combination of
anaerobic bacteria and products excreted from your body during
exertion or periods of raised metabolism. Moisture and the
secretions of apocrine sweat glands promote the growth of these
bacteria on the skin which result in an odor. Perspiration itself
has no particular smell.
The smell of waste products
excreted by our bodies is also affected by toxins we have ingested
or absorbed into our bodies. In a modern environment our bodies
are subjected to a host of chemicals and toxins in our food -
including pollution in the air and even household cleaning
products.
These toxins may accumulate and
reduce proper functioning of the intestines, liver and kidneys -
organs usually very adept at eliminating toxic products quickly
and effectively. This clogging effect on the organs of elimination
causes toxins to be excreted through the skin, leading to
unpleasant and embarrassing body odor.
Diet is another important factor
affecting body odor. Certain foods, such as onion, garlic, spicy
dishes, fried foods and coffee can dramatically, though
temporarily, increase unpleasant body odor. People who are prone
to body odor should avoid these types of food. In the long-term,
poor dietary habits can also lead to constipation and
micronutrient deficiencies - two other culprits of body odor.
Excessive sweating and/or body odor
are sometimes an indication of an underlying ailment including
liver disease, metabolic disorders or periods of hormonal change
like puberty or menopause. If you have experienced a sudden and
persistent change in perspiration or body odor it is important to
consult your health care provider to exclude an underlying medical
condition.
How is body
odor usually treated?
If there is no underlying medical
cause for the problem of body odor, most people go through a
process of looking for an antiperspirant or deodorant product that
will rid them of unpleasant body odor. Underarm and foot
deodorants or antiperspirants are popular options.
Some people may try brand after
brand to try to cure the problem though, of course, external
products will not get to the root cause of an internal problem.
These synthetic deodorants and antiperspirants are also not
without their own health risks.
Antiperspirants and deodorants
contain substances like aluminum, polyethylene, talc and
dimethicone. These chemicals have been associated with many health
problems including Alzheimer’s, kidney disease and cancer.
What are the
Ingredients?
This natural remedy contains the
following herbal and homeopathic ingredients:
Galium aperine (also known
as Cleavers) is an excellent cleansing tonic and has a
particularly beneficial effect on the lymph system, which controls
movement of fluid in the body and is also a mechanism of toxin
clearance from the body.
Milk Thistle: This herb has
been used since ancient times for treating a wide variety of
ailments, but particularly liver problems. Milk Thistle improves
functioning of the liver as well as excretion of toxins. Studies
suggest that this herb protects the liver from damage by viruses,
pollution, stress and chemical toxins. Milk Thistle is a potent
antioxidant and laboratory studies indicate it may even have
anti-cancer properties.
Silica D6: Silica is also
known as the 'homeopathic surgeon' due to its unique ability to
cleanse the cells of toxins and rid the body of bad odors. Silica
is naturally occurring in the body, especially in hair, nails,
skin, nerve sheaths and all mucous membranes, including the mouth
and digestive tract. Silica acts as a natural cleanser and
purifier and will also eliminate all foreign matter in the body.
For this reason Silica should not be used by individuals with any
type of prosthesis, metal plates, pins or artificial tubes in the
body.
Calcium Sulphate D6 is a
blood purifying tissue salt which is effective in clarifying
lymphatic fluid, promotes efficient elimination of waste products
and prevents deposits of toxins forming in the body. Calc. Sulph.
has a cleansing and purifying effect throughout the system.
Mag.
Phos. D6 is a tissue salt
which maintains healthy digestive processes and improves
efficiency of intestinal absorption - functions which are
negatively affected by magnesium deficiency. Mag. Phos. is also
known to keep the blood at a healthy, alkaline pH and is
recommended alongside Calc. sulph. in the treatment of body odor.
Merc. sol. (30C) is a
homeopathic remedy effective in treating excessive perspiration as
well as treating offensive body odors and bad breath.
How has
DeodoRite helped others?
"I just wanted
to give you some feedback on your DeodoRite
remedy. My teenage son had a real problem with bad body odor and
it began to affect his social life, participation at school and
also his self-esteem. He was using the strongest antiperspirants
we could find in the store and even still, the odor was noticeable
and embarrassing for him. We purchased DeodoRite for him as a last
resort - not really expecting that it would help much. We were
certainly wrong - within the first week of use we noticed an
improvement. He then also began to change his diet- less fast food
and more fresh fruit and vegetables (No teenage boy’s favorite
food!). It has now been just over a month and the change in my son
is heart-warming. He is regaining his confidence and even
socializing with girls these days! Thank you for an excellent
remedy!" - Joan C.
"I have suffered
with excessive perspiration and body odor since my puberty, now I
have finally found the solution in your natural remedy. As a
woman, feeling sweaty and in need of a shower from about 10:30am
every day is very demoralizing and not good for feeling attractive
and feminine. When I met my boyfriend I noticed that he didn’t
even use deodorant and yet always smelt clean and fresh. I finally
thought I must do something and searched on the internet only to
find your remedy. I have been taking DeodoRite
for a while now and I’m so happy to report that I am able to
choose my fragrances based on what I like rather than just
throwing the strongest men’s antiperspirant into my shopping
basket. Thanks for a great remedy that is truly effective." -
