Reset And Dry Armpits To Reduce Odor
- Use chlorhexidine (Hibiclens) to scrub your armpits 15–20 seconds in the shower to reduce musky or oniony odor.
- After showering, swipe alcohol-free, scent-free witch hazel on armpits and the inner-thigh crease and let dry to help shift the microbiome.
Move Lymph To Reduce Puffiness
- Do the 'Specific Seven' lymphatic massage and then lie with your feet up to drain retained fluid and reduce puffiness.
- Increase water and use balanced electrolytes (sodium with good potassium) to help correct water retention.
Three Simple Fixes For Itchy Ears
- For itchy ears try an antihistamine nasal spray on a Q-tip, castor oil or vitamin E oil to moisturize, or a tiny dab of estrogen gel if available.
- Use Q-tips gently and avoid pushing into the eardrum while swabbing the canal.
