Young living deoderant / detoxing your armpits.... READ ON!!

For most of my life I’ve used conventional deodorants, they worked and smelled nice. I never thought much about it until 1 I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 47 and there is no cancer in my family. 2. I started my journey into essential oils.

When I start looking into deodorants I learned two very important things, how antiperspirants work and all the toxic chemicals used in conventional deodorants. Before I tell you why you should detox your armpits and how to detox them, you should understand why it’s best to stay away from most antiperspirants and deodorants.  young living deodorant here 

Antiperspirants are made to reduce the production of sweat. Their active ingredient is aluminum salts which dissolve into your skin’s surface creating a barrier. It basically blocks your sweat glands temporarily and reduces the amount of sweat released. Your body sweats for a reason, blocking sweat is not the right solution.

There has also been a lot of speculation if using these type of deodorants are one of the reasons we’re seeing so many cases of breast cancer.(which I am a survivor of 3 years..) 

Some of the things that are found in store bought commercial deoderants and anti antiperspirants are 

• Aluminum: I avoid aluminum in every possible form. It has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease and osteoporosis.
• Parabens: An endocrine disruptor that interferes with our hormone production.
• Phthalates: Another endocrine disruptor that causes havoc in your body.
• Propylene Glycol: A neurotoxin linked to kidney and liver damage.

I just taught a class in my hometown about all these toxins and it really is shocking how ignorant we are these days..

Super easy recipe to make: 

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon of paraben-free bentonite clay
• 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
• Water (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

 In a small glass bowl mix the bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar. Make sure you use a wooden or plastic spoon – do not use a metal spoon since it affects the properties of the bentonite clay

   Mix it well. It should look like a paste. It if doesn’t look like a paste after you mix it well, you can add a tiny bit of water until you get a good  consistency to mask on..

  Spread it on, there should be no tingling or pain from this.. if that happens remove immediately.. Otherwise leave on 5-20 minutes the wash off or shower.. You can apply aloe or a lavender spray to the area.

   

 ** this is safe to do daily until the rash or smells goes away.
