Home and Natural Remedies : Cures from Nature

It's a man's worst nightmare -- Smelly groin. Some smell sour, others smell like used socks. A smelly groin can be a major cause of insecurities.

If you can smell something funky down there, here a few things you might consider doing:

1. Make sure you wear clean, well-washed clothes. Badly washed clothes trap bacteria and these bacteria, once they come in contact with your skin, can cause bad odor.

2. Avoid spices with strong smells. When you eat these, their essence will mix with your sweat and will somehow contribute to the funky smell.

3. Practice proper hygiene. Trim your pubes. Thick pubes trap dirt and bacteria, and dirt and bacteria cause bad odour.

4. Take a bath regularly. Needless to say. Don't expect your groin to smell good if you only bathe once a week.

5. Dab on some deodorant down there. It might work. It might.

6. Try to lose the flabs. Folds of flabs near your groin trap dirt and bacteria -- dirt and bacteria spell SMELLY GROIN. If you have flabs, clean the folds well, really well.

It's a silent problem. Hardly anyone who has a smelly head talk about it. People freely talk about smelly armpits, smelly groins etc.. but rarely about smelly head. Well, let me tell you -- a lot of people suffer from it and they keep the problem to themselves.

If you have smelly head, here are a few things you might want to consider trying to somehow solve the problem (that is if the smell is not caused by medication or another more serious health problem):

1. Keep your haircut short -- it's bad enough that oil on the scalp is breeding ground for bacteria but long hair also traps a lot of dirt and bacteria that cause the foul smell. Keep it short and keep it clean.

2. Avoid eating too much garlic, thyme and the likes -- these are strong spices and when you ingest them, it's inevitable for their essence to mix with your sweat. Your scalp release sweat and sweat with strong spice odour spells SMELLY HEAD.

3. Take a bath regularly (at least 3 times a day) and use shampoo to kill bacteria trapped in between your hairstrands and on your scalp.

Stay clean. Stay healthy.
