As an adult when you have body odor, you simply spray some perfume or deodorant on
your body. But the solution is not the same when it comes to children. Children cannot be exposed to deodorant and sprays since it can harm their delicate skin. If you wish to get rid of your child’s body odor without any harm, then you should go for some home remedies.
Here are ways you can help get rid of your child body odour naturally;
1.Lemon Water Bath
Lemon is believed to contain certain antibacterial properties that prevent the growth of bacteria. And also have a refreshing smell. When your child gets home after a day in the hot sun, set up a warm bath immediately and add a few drops of lemon to it. Keep the ratio as 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for a 2-liter bucket of water. This will not only help in reducing your child’s body odor, but will also make the child feel refreshed.
2.Tomato Juice Bath
The juice of tomato is also believed to help in eliminating body odor. However, applying it directly might irritate your child’s skin, but adding it to a bath is a convenient way of using it. Simply grind some fresh tomatoes in a blender and strain the seeds and skin. Use the strained
liquid, about 2 cups, in a 2-3 liter bucket of warm water. Bathe your child in this water at least twice a week.

3.Essential Oils
You can use essential oils such as rosemary oil or tea tree oil. These oils too are considered to be antibacterial in nature while also containing a pleasant smell. Just add a few drops of the oil on a cotton ball and rub it on your child’s underarms and other areas that are prone to body odor. You can apply these oils at least 15 minutes before bathing your child.
