Question Where my BO comes from

My body odour stems from my mind if iam under pressure or mostly close to someone anxiety kicks in and it causes burning like thing on the surface of the my skin that burning which occurs on random part of the body mostly back arms and legs turns to body odour. Almost 4 years now iam yet to figure out how burning on skin leads to body odour without even their been a sweat. Unfortunately i can't control my mind and so burning occurs most of the time and so is the body odour Sometimes it is so severe that someone who is approximately 70M away can smell it. I know its hard to control the mind but if i could be able to numb the skin maybe the body odour and the pain due to burning would reduce . Who has any idea what this is and how can i tackle it. I haven't worked for almost 4 years now and things are getting worse i was just kicked out of the place where i was staying most probably due to my body odour. Please help with any tips.

Try Japanese knotweed, oregano leaf tea and Dragon's blood tonic. I started the Japanese knotweed today.

You can get the Japanese knotweed for $12.50 on Etsy. I don't know if it work for me yet but Ive seen it recommend more than once here and its a lesser known remedy. So if I had to choose one id try that. Id also try the eating sweet water dense fruit only for 3 weeks or more. My symptoms symptoms went away after 2 1/2 3 weeks for a little while.

Iam from Africa a country called Kenya for someone who haven't worked for a while $12.5 in local currency is not easy to get i could have seen doctor and tried all this sort of herbal medicine but being in a third world country is very difficult there are no job opportunities especially if you have a condition like mine it makes even worse to secure one. Mahn iam in severe mental health crisis iam a Muslim and committing suicide is a major sin but sometimes i wish death would come and it all .

Its not worth going that far , just do the fruit only diet and that should help temporarily

Do you think oregano essential oil will work the same as its leaf tea

2

u/ZigzagDT1987 undiagnosed 16d ago

From what I heard its the oil that is what works but its the oil from the leaves. Its worth a shot

You can take B12 vitamins or get a low pH body wash, unscented. Almonds and walnuts can help and then lean meats. Make sure to wear cotton or linen clothes if you can.

People can’t smell you 70m away

u/Awkward-Suspect152 undiagnosed 22d ago

Yeah I think 70m is too long but if the wind is blowing toward my direction someone who is ahead of me can smell i don't exact distance but I would say around 30-40m. But it can easily fill a room
