vegetable / herb that make your body odor smells good

[Orichalcum]

Since there are not so many members that come from SE Asia region (especially Indonesia), I guess it won't hurt if I make the "first move" for sharing some information that might be interesting 🙂.

Like the title said, it has been commonly believed in my country that vegetable (herb) called kemangi (lemon basil) could make your body odor smells good, although it hasn’t been proven scientifically because the effect couldn’t be noticed in an instant.

The question here is:
Had you had a chance (or had you known about this earlier), which would have been your choice after all?

A. The herb; through a long term consumption, you will (might) have a PERMANENTLY fresh body odor in the future and it has no side effects.

B. Deodorant; it will gives you a temporary fresh body odor, the effect is instant, but has some side effects in the future (I’ve read somewhere that deodorant can leads to a breast cancer).

Please let me know what you think. Thanks 🙂.

Actually, I am quite aware that this species of basil works exceptionally well, over a period of time as you said.

I use it a lot myself. Though I have to get more, my levels are running low. But it's wonderful, and I think it's delicious.

Another Herbalist, yes?

Actually, I'm learning about herb myself because lately most of my friends have been forcing me 😛issed to join them in a business which involves a herbal-based product. But that's another story though.

Glad to know that you like the taste of the herb and able to consume it often 🙂. As for me, I'm still learning to make simple dishes that contain basil in its recipe in order to be able to consume basil regularly.

It has to do with waste being excreted by the skin. Odor, that is.

Well, I saw it on House anyway.

Etc.

Going naked and covering yourself in dirt helps to manage BO. Looks kinda hawt too.

How does not being a slob sound?

I hear bathing and deodorant are amazing.
