Hi,

Body odor in children can be treated with vitamin C, turnip juice helps to fight bacteria.

Just cut 2-3 turnips and blend them in a blender to get a smooth paste. Now sieve it and you will get the juice. Apply this juice to your child’s underarms and around the groin area. Once it is dry, wash off with lukewarm water. You can do this each morning to ward off body odor for 10 hours. You may add turnips to your child’s diet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
