| Body odor comes from the skin, and the bacteria that thrives on the sweat from the apocrine glands. The anti-bacterial properties of essential oils work to eliminate the odor-causing bacteria, while the sweet natural scents uplift your spirit. Using sage on the skin can help lessen a body odor problem caused by perspiration or by infection. Over-the-counter deodorants and antiperspirants contain compounds such as aluminum chloride and boric acid that can cause skin irritation and are absorbed through the skin into the body. By using natural alternatives, you avoid the harsh chemicals, and do not lose any effectiveness. |
Using Aromatherapy
Hydrosols, or flower waters are great for body perfume sprays, and deodorants. Hydrosols are produced from steam-distilling plant materials. Most are a by-product of essential oil production and have similar properties to essential oils but are more subtle, only containing a small percentage of essential oil. The highest quality hydrosols are steam distilled from fresh plant materials, and contain all the therapeutic properties of the whole herb. |
