Some people think that body odor is caused by sweat. In fact, sweat does not actually cause odor. The culprit is actually the bacteria, not the sweat. How do you deal with it?
"Actually, the unpleasant odor is released by sweat that has mixed with bacteria. Sweat itself on the surface of the skin has no odor. But after being decomposed by bacteria, the unpleasant odor occurs."
Our body has sweat glands called autocrine glands, in the skin of the armpits, chest, and genital area. During puberty, these glands become more active than usual. Yes, if these glands have undergone a chemical release process, and are contaminated with bacteria, they will produce an unpleasant-smelling substance. One of these substances is ammonia. Similar to that contained in our urine. For women, you must be more self-aware, because it turns out that women have a higher tendency to experience worse body odor than men.

So, don't be dirty, try to shower more often, so that the bacteria in your sweat don't become more rampant. It's embarrassing if you meet your partner, eh it ends up having body odor😅
The main cause of body odor is indeed the bacteria which are in sweat. But I guess there are other causes or not?
"There are many factors that influence, for example certain foods, especially stimulating ones, such as garlic, shallots, then curry, and certain medicines can also cause unpleasant odors. Then, other factors in the body such as certain diseases, diabetes, or other metabolic disorders can also influence."
So, there are quite a lot of causes for the discharge. From food, to medicine. Oh yes, usually to reduce the smell of sweat in the armpits, we use deodorant, but sometimes it can cause irritation or allergies. The truth is that you should use anti-sweat deodorant on your armpits, especially if you don't want to sweat. Anti-sweat has a compound that contains aluminum. This compound works by blocking pores by preventing the armpits from sweating.
You can also avoid body odor without using deodorant. It is better to know ourselves first, how much sweat comes out when doing activities, because each person is different.
The simplest way is to prepare a change of clothes. So when you start to sweat a lot, you can immediately change clothes, to minimize the unpleasant odor. Get used to using comfortable clothing materials, so that your skin does not sweat easily.
Comfortable materials such as cotton, wolf, or silk, you can use. Avoid clothes made of synthetic materials, because they will actually increase sweat production.
Well, here I will make a natural concoction to eliminate unpleasant body odor. Just prepare:
Temu kunci
Cinnamon
And water
Heat the water first
Then crush the temu kunci
Then, put the cinnamon into the boiling water together with the temu kunci.
Boil until boiling
When done, pour into a glass
And add honey to taste
Good luck trying it at home.
Temu kunci is a rhizome of one type of medicinal plant that is included in the group of temu-temuan, rhizomes, or better known as jingiberaseae.
This herbal plant contains essential oils such as sineon, laver, ceberneon, curcumin. The content of these essential oils is effective in eliminating body odor.

Hopefully useful.
