Body odour remedies

Does anyone have strong under arm odour, often noticeable on this area of a shirt after one has
worn it - and do you find washing and deodorants do not stop it for long?
I find I can stop the odour completely if I keep a bowl of sodium bicarbonate near my basin
and after showering, I wet my finger and dab a small amount under each arm. This lasts me
24 hours.so far I am delighted with this solution. Sprinkling this powder in shoes stops foot odour
too!
Does anyone have any other solutions?     Rozzie123

Bicarbonate of Soda is excellent of getting rid of odours anywhere.  Also good as a cleaning agent and used as a remedy for some ailments and is also used in baking.

Sometimes strong body odours can happen as a result of eating very highly spiced foods (garlic for example) and also if you do not empty your bowels regularly.
