Standard soaps are mild because some people have sensitive skin. Your soaps are not strong enough to wash off the oils and deodorants. I use environmentally friendly, colorless dish soap. Dish soap is made to clean off oils. The first time, or if you don't use it daily, you may need to use it 2 or 3 times to achieve odorless arm pits. This will also work on men's groin area.Replied by Marcaq999 (San Diego, Ca, USA) on 04/05/2013
My bo problem started when I was 12 yrs old. My armpits were like leaky faucets, they drip constantly. I used all kinds of deo/antiperspirant, both natural and store bought. Nothing works, until 3 months ago ( Late Jan, beg Feb 2013). I am now 56 years old. My armpit sweating has diminished by 80 percent ( No cure, it came with aging). However, up until late January, my armpit and groin odor intensified. What was the smell? Amonia/sufur/onion smell, this smell will start 2 minutes after getting out of the shower and after doing a full body scrub.
Today, I am 85 to 90 percent odor free.
What did I do different? I changed my diet. I eliminated processed food, junk food, gluten food, sugary food. I ate food rich in Alkaline. I now use tea tree oil for deodorant. I use a q tip, dip the q-tip in the bottle and apply it to my armpits and groin area. My armpit still sweat, but the offensive odor is now tamed.
My new diet.
- For carbs (bread/white rice replacement) - Soba (buckwheat) noodles, quinoa, millet, sweet yams
- Processed food replacement - I eat whole foods - lots of green leafy vegetables like bokchoy, cabage, cilantro, parsley. Also, lots of brocoli, cucumbers and salsa (fresh tomatoes etc).
- For protein - tofu, sun flower seeds, wild caught fish like sardines, perchs, mackerel (not canned but sea fresh).
- For deodorant - tea tree oil, baking soda.
- For alkalizing drink: 3/4 cup water, 2 teaspoon ACV, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda mix together, and drink it 1 - 3 times a day."
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS: My anxiety, mood swings, paranoia, depression is 95 percent better!
Above problems were so bad that I have to quit my job (over $60K/year) almost 2 years ago. Yes, loosing my job was so sad, but, the brighter side, I have gained my life back. I am still not employed.... But looking and praying that God (I am a Christian) will direct me to the better job than I had before, in His time. In the mean time, I garden (growing basil, green onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocadoes, lichee fruit tree (with my wife), garlic, ginger.... It's exciting.... I NOW HAVE A LIFE......
