HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR BODY ODOR
Sweating and body odor are facts of life for most
people. Heavy perspiration and body odor can happen when you exercise, when
you're too warm, or when you're nervous, anxious or under stress.
Your body has two main types of sweat glands, and they
produce two very different types of sweat. Both types are odorless, but the
type of sweat produced in your armpits and groin smells bad when it combines
with bacteria found normally on your skin.
Unusual changes in sweating — either excessive
perspiration (hyperhidrosis) or little or no perspiration (anhidrosis) — can be
cause for concern. Likewise, changes in body odor may be a sign of a medical
problem.
For normal sweating and body odor, however, lifestyle
and home treatments can effectively manage your symptoms
Causes--Your skin has two main types of sweat glands:
eccrine glands and apocrine glands. Eccrine glands occur over most of your body
and open directly onto the surface of the skin. Apocrine glands develop in
areas abundant in hair follicles, such as your armpits and groin, and they
empty into the hair follicle just before it opens onto the skin surface.
When your body temperature rises, your eccrine glands
secrete fluid onto the surface of your skin, where it cools your body as it
evaporates. This fluid is composed mainly of water and salt.
Apocrine glands, on the other hand, produce a milky
fluid that most commonly is secreted when you're under emotional stress. This
fluid is odorless until it combines with bacteria found normally on your skin.
