Have you tried natural deodorants before but they’ve been ineffective? 😬That’s because you need to detox your armpit first!
💨 Conventional deodorants and antiperspirants contain a variety of chemicals and additives. It takes something unnatural to block the body’s natural ability to sweat, and the chemical list in some deodorants is worrying:
☠️ Aluminum– Some evidence links aluminum to can-sir and Alzheimer’s Disease
👶🏼 Phthalates– Endocrine disruptors often also found in plastic that can cause hormone imbalance and even infertility (especially in men)
🤧 Propylene glycol– Common name: antifreeze. It is a hotly debated additive in personal care products but it is reported that it carries a risk of immunotoxicity and allergies
🎀 Parabens- Another hormone disruptor and parabens have been found in biopsied tissue with breast can-sir
🦠 Antibacterial Substances- Also endocrine disruptors and can negatively affect the immune system
Heads up! 💡 Lymph nodes are located by our armpit so putting endocrine disrupters and toxic chemicals on these, which are part of our immune system, isn’t a wise idea.
A benefit of doing an armpit detox is that it may pull some of these chemicals out of the skin and tissue of the armpits. This can be especially helpful after years of conventional deodorant use.
After an armpit detox you’re more likely to be able to use natural deodorant and remain fresh all day. It’s the old bacteria and toxins that lead to the smell - not fresh sweat! 💧
You just need:
💫 1 tsp bentonite clay
💫 1 tap charcoal
💫 apple cider vinegar
💫 water
Put powders in a bowl and add equal parts water and ACV slowly. Mix together into a paste, apply, wait for it to harden/absorb and remove. Bear in mind it can take a few months to fully detox the armpit, so don’t discard your natural deodorant too soon! 💛
