Brilio.net - Solid activity, especially when done outdoors, will make the body sweat. As a result, an unpleasant aroma emerges. This condition certainly makes you uncomfortable. Not only for yourself, but it can also disturb people around you.
Not a few people associate body odor with body cleanliness. For example, rarely showering or bathing is not clean. This body odor starts from sweat that is contaminated with bacteria. These bacteria can break down the compounds contained in sweat into fatty acids. This is what causes sour body odor .
In addition, exposure to air pollution and certain chemicals can affect the quality of sweat and cause unpleasant body odor, including sour odor. Air pollution can disrupt the balance of bacteria on the skin, which in turn can increase the production of compounds that contribute to body odor.
Not only does it come from external factors, sour body odor can also be influenced by food intake. Foods that are spicy, fatty, or contain lots of garlic and onions can affect a person's body odor. The compounds contained in these foods can be processed by bacteria on the skin and cause a sour body odor .
To overcome sour body odor, many people use deodorant products. However, if used continuously, this product can change the color of the underarm skin. It can even cause irritation for those who are not compatible with deodorant production ingredients.
Instead, you can overcome sour body odor by drinking concoctions made from natural ingredients. Not only is it cheap, this combination of natural ingredients can make your body smell good all day, like what a woman named Jayanti does. In uploading a video on the YouTube channel @Jayantichannel, he uses betel leaves and turmeric.
Betel leaves have antibacterial and antiseptic properties which can help kill bacteria that cause body odor. Betel leaves also have detoxification properties that can help cleanse the body of toxins and harmful substances that can cause unpleasant body odor.
Meanwhile, the presence of turmeric can also overcome sour body odor. This is because turmeric has antimicrobial properties which can help reduce the growth of bacteria on the skin. Active compounds in turmeric, such as curcumin, have been known to reduce excessive sweat production. By reducing sweat production, this drink can help reduce the risk of unpleasant body odor.
So how do you make a concoction drink from the two ingredients above? For those of you who are curious, let's look at the steps shared by YouTube user @Jayantichannel, Thursday (18/4).

Can betel leaves treat bad breath?
The benefits of betel leaves are not only for eliminating body odor. Reporting from Jurnal.unpad.ac.id, Thursday (18/4) betel leaves have other benefits, namely overcoming bad breath. This is because betel leaves contain active compounds such as eugenol and tannin, which have antimicrobial properties. This compound helps kill bacteria that cause bad breath and reduces bacterial growth in the mouth.
The chemical content in betel leaves provides a natural freshening effect on the mouth. This helps disguise unpleasant odors and provides a fresh taste after chewing betel leaves. Betel leaves are also known to have anti-plaque and anti-caries effects. Regularly chewing betel leaves can help reduce plaque formation and prevent cavities, which can also cause bad breath.
