Ginger – Banishing Body Odor

In the ancient medical text "Emergency Formulas at Your Elbow," there is a remedy for effectively treating body odor. It suggests using ginger and applying it to the armpits. Ginger possesses antibacterial properties, making it effective for killing bacteria. Additionally, the aroma of ginger can help mask the unpleasant odor of body odor, and in ancient times, it was even used as a perfume.

Ginger juice can also be used to treat alopecia areata, commonly known as "ghost shaving," as it can promote hair growth.

Usage: To treat body odor, simply apply fresh ginger directly to the armpits. To treat alopecia areata, break a piece of ginger by hand to expose the fibrous interior, leaving the fibers intact. Apply the fresh ginger surface directly to the affected area by gently rubbing it up and down.
