What causes Body Odor? Body Odor is caused by bacteria breaking down the sweat particles surfacing from the body. There is a number of reasons why you sweat excessively. It could be caused but the surrounding humidity and temperature, heredity, food and beverage intake, medications and other medical or health conditions. Wherever the case, once sweating occurs, the bacteria will start to erode the sweat which will then cause BO.

The most common “cure” is to use deodorant to mask the odor of perspiration or antiperspirant to reduce sweating. There are however other treatments such as medication or through injecting a drug to the nerve that controls the sweat gland to prevent one from sweating. Lastly, in rare cases where excessive sweating is experienced, a surgery may be recommended to cut the nerve controlling the sweat gland or totally removing it. Observing personal hygiene is also key in reducing sweating and body odor.

Eliminating BO will help to improve one’s overall social standing so that he can continue with a socially active lifestyle. A BO free body is an emotional healthy body. The conditions and effects may cause more problems to oneself more than a medical condition itself.
