I use to have horrible Body Odor that started developing 3 years ago. Nothing, and I mean nothing, helped. I finally did the Master-Cleanse for 36 days and my left pit cleared up but my right one is still bad but manageable. I also notice that it gets worse the 10 days before period starts.

Because I am doing the Oil Pulling I thought I would give this idea a try just to see if it could draw out toxins. I have placed a Peppermint teabag under my right armpit. It is cool, kinda of like Arthritis cream, but bareable for me. I've noticed today that it has kept the hot flashes at bay. I used medical tape to keep it in place. No deodarant. My daughter keeps coming up to me and saying, "Yum, you smell like peppermint candy."

This could break my pit out into a rash, stain my clothes, or cause stinging sensation when I bath, but I won't know for sure until I wear it for a while. So far I've been comfortable and the bag is not bulky for me.

Has anyone else read any benefits of placing anything under the pit to absorb odor?

I do not want to wear deodarant since I am still trying to detox my body and besides, no amount of washing, scrubbing or deodarant seems to help me with just this one armpit.
