JINSI YA KUONDOA HARUFU MBAYA MWILINI - from Dr. Weil

Mtaalam huyu kwa hili namshangaa, kwa nini asipendekeze jawabu la kwanza la kuondoa harufu mbaya mwilini kwa kukoga? Yaani kutumia maji na sabuni? Au ndio kuzisukuma bidhaa sokoni?

1. Splash rubbing alcohol under your arms to reduce bacteria.
2. Stimulant drugs, including caffeine, contribute to body odor by increasing the activity of apocrine sweat glands, special glands in hairy parts of the body that produce strong-smelling, musky secretions. Try eliminating caffeine if body odor continues to be a problem.
3. Most commercial underarm products contain irritating or harmful ingredients, including aluminum salts and dyes. Avoid the antiperspirant varieties - you can find better deodorant only products in health-food stores, such as those containing extracts of green tea, which is antibacterial.
4. If you buy "natural crystals," make sure they do not contain aluminum in any form.
