I have seen a lot of information out for hunters on scent with clothing, deodorant, and some showering products. There is so much more to eliminated scent to help out our hunting odds against the game we pursue. Here is a list of other home remedies that can help the hunter further their scent-free tactics for the hunt.
Body odor can be under control in 3 days by adding 5-10 drops of Rose Water to bath water and soak for at least 15 minutes. Serious body odor can be controlled by adding 3 cups of tomato juice to bath water and soak for at least 15 minutes. It is recommended to rinse and exfoliate after one of these or any bath/shower to rid dead cells off body and then use non-scented soap to finish showering. The following remedies below can also help total body odor.
Bad Breath
Causes:
? Alcohol
? Stress
? Diet/Food
? Dehydration
? Milk intolerance
? Poor Digestion
? Imbalance of Good and Bad Bacteria in the Gut
? Dental Problems
? Smoking
? Medications like decongestants and diuretics
Changes to Make:
Oral Hygiene
? Brush teeth/tongue and floss
? Get teeth cleaned and cavities filled at dentist
? Use Hydrogen Peroxide as mouth wash
? Brush gums and tongue with powdered cloves or myrrh
? Brush tongue with antibacterial products like chlorhexidine
Dietary
? Eliminate or reduce high-fat and high-protein foods because they can be hard to digest and give off gas.

Supplements
? Vitamin B & C, along with Zinc can help bad breath.
