      Bathe daily to remove bacteria. Use soap and a washcloth on the armpit area, which will clean more effectively than using your hand and soap..

      Wear deodorant. Deodorants are available in many scents, varieties of strength, and sensitivity. If deodorant is not effective, apply apple cider vinegar to armpits every day. This will help restore the PH of the skin and reduce bacteria.

      Change your diet. Eliminate foods and elements that can cause excessive body odor. Some of these include garlic, onions, curry, alcohol and tobacco. Eat leafy greens to neutralize odor.

      Keep clothes clean. Sweat and bacteria can transfer to clothing making bad odors more pungent.

    • 5

      Take Zinc and Magnesium. A daily minimum of 30 mg of zinc and 200 mg of magnesium can reduce both perspiration and body odor. See your doctor to determine the right mg combination for you.
