People who have a condition known as hyperhidrosis tend to sweat excessively, and therefore, they are more likely to develop a strong body odor.

The following remedies are mostly for the topical relief of body odor : Sage tea, Salvia officinalis, or sage extracts can be taken internally and an undiluted alcohol extract of sage can be used under the arms.

Essential oils of rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis, and thyme, Thymus vulgaris, can be used under the arms or on the feet.

Baking soda or body powder will keep affected areas dry and absorb or mask odors.
