Can vinegar be used to eliminate bromhidrosis?

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: I've read in Reader's Digest that vinegar has the ability to eliminate body odor. I am no skeptic to this claim, since a reader raved about how effective vinegar is in abolishing the nose-tickling hygiene problem. My question is, how do you use vinegar to eliminate body odor and how often should you do it?

Condition analysis:
I know vinegar helps women with their, um, personal hygiene. Something about it helps to restore our pH balances and that makes the odor go away. You just mix half water and half vinegar and pour it on. No more odor! It doesn't hurt or sting like you might think it would, despite its acidic smell. A lot of the commercial douche products have vinegar in it.

Instructions:
Bromhidrosis is not a dangerous condition. But can affect daily life of a person. There are varieties of treatment modalities available. One of the best ways to treat bromhidrosis is to keep the skin area clean, dry and free from bacteria.

Use soap and water to clean your body daily. Wash the areas which are prone to excess of perspiration such as armpits, genitals and feet. Washing helps to flush out number of bacteria from the skin.

Wash and change your clothes daily.

Wear loose clothing.

Shave your underarm hair at regular interval as it prevents accumulation of sweat in the hair shafts.

Avoid overeating spicy and pungent food.
