During Peri-menopause our hormones take a dramatic dive resulting in many of the same frustrations we thought we left behind in our teens: acne, irritability and even under arm odor.
A simple natural remedy: Black Tea Bags. Simply brew a cup of tea that has black tea leaves (think English Breakfast) and apply the tea bags to the underarms. Be sure to layer with towels as you lie in bed with tea bags under your arms as they do stain).
Allow the tea to penetrate the entire armpit for 10 minutes.
The tannins kill bad smelling bacteria that arises for excessive sweating during hot flashes.
Additional help comes from internally cleansing the liver which contributes to all of the emotional and frustrating changes during menopause. A skilled herbalist can prescribe a specific herbal prescription to aid in reducing body odor. Be sure to also include lots of dark, leafy greens including kale and seaweed in your diet during this transition. They cleanse the liver and reduce hormonal fluctuations and mood swings.
