body odor

[lori ann]

Hey there,

I know this is not the most exciting topic, but I wanted to bring it up. I am not 100% raw, but working towards it. Anyways, I have been experiencing bad body odor daily for awhile-it stinks and is embarssing. I am sure it is detox, but has anyone else dealt with this? How long will it last does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

I went through this and mine smelled kind of like onioney grease. ugh so gross! It lasted for a few weeks and I tried to combat it by showering twice a day and using my hubbys deoderant. I also upped my intake of mangoes because I heard that they helped with body odor. I was eating like 4 a day. I also find now that the more fruit I eat, the sweeter I smell. Even my husband comments on it. Hope this helps. ;)

Yeah, it's very common to go through this. You may want to look into taking chlorophyll or just taking in a LOT of greens (green smoothies are the easiest way to get in a good deal of 'em) and make sure to include parsley. Also might wish to look into some bowel cleansing to help eliminate some of that out of your digestive system rather than your skin.

Yes, I understand! BUT the good news, for me anyway, was that about 3 months into being 100% raw I was able to drop deoderant altogether. I don't need to use it to this day! Even after a tough workout at Bally's there is no odor whatsoever. So, after the initial bad odor, hopefully, you will have that to look forward to also!
