Best Answer

There are lots of essential oils that eliminate odor. First of all I'd figure out what's causing the odor, and then start from there with figuring out which oil or oils would be best for you to use.

Example: Is odor coming from infection? I'd find out what's best oil/oils for that particular infection. And in choosing what oil/oils I work with, I'd find a good odor eliminator. As I'm working on getting rid of odor causing infection, I'd also find out what I need to do to prevent this infection from coming back. Whether this means building my immune system up or simply changing a few habits.

One thing I'd caution you about when you start looking for oils is making sure you get 100% unadulterated oils. Most oils you pick up at a health food store have had chemicals and other things added to it, which can make the oil dangerous to use and definitely less effective. I'd also be wary of any oil that somebody's selling dirt cheap($5-$10). And I'd never go to a beauty store to pick up an oil, unless they are selling Young Living oils. Go on youngliving. us to find pure oils which will give you big results.

Differences between essential oils and fatty oils?

Essential oils are not truly "oils" at all. They are volatile organic compounds (VOC) made up of thousands of nature's chemicals but because they contain no lipids, they are not technically considered oils--at least nutritionally. A essential oil 'VOC' is a carbon compound that has a high vapor pressure and low water solubility which evaporates at everyday temperatures. The VOCs that we know as bad for our ozone are human made chemicals used and produced in the manufacture of paints, pharmaceuticals and refrigerants. The low water solubility is what gives essential oils its 'oily' appearance. "Ordinary" vegetable oils, on the other hand, contain lipids and that's what makes them "oils". Some vegetable and animal oils contain what scientists call essential fatty acids. These are fatty acids that the body needs but cannot make on its own, hence the term essential. But they should not be confused with the botanical extracts known as essential oils. Vegetable fatty oils generally come from the seed of the plant where essential oils generally come from leaves, roots, bark and stems. Essential oils are oils that are used in aromatherapy. These oils have a therapeutic properties and if use correctly can overcome some health problems.
