Did you know that sweat in and of itself is odorless? But when released from the body a bacterium forms to break up the sweat and it is really the bacteria that will cause your body odor.
Why Do we perspiration and excrete body odor? Well underarm perspiration is the body’s natural response which is designed to cool down the body and regulate salt levels. Sadly many deodorant manufacturers have been and are still including aluminum in their deodorants and sadly not everyone is aware that the active ingredient in most store bought deodorants is aluminum. The reason that they claim this is that the aluminum is used to stop sweating. When pores are clogged with aluminum from regular deodorants, this process is often inhibited.
And why is Aluminum in Deodorant Unhealthy? Natural deodorant should be aluminum free and still work to keep unwanted body odor away. However, the aluminum typically achieves this goal by clogging the pores in the underarms, which can lead to ingrown hairs, rashes and even tumors. It is very important to note that aluminum absorption in the body is not nor is it ever healthy because it is a major factor in causing Alzheimer’s disease, brain disorders and breast cancer, because of its high toxicity levels.
The best way to avoid these is to buy natural deodorant that do not contain harmful ingredients like aluminum and will still help you in preventing body odor and perspiration. Also what you eat will have a great influence in what odors you expel. Eating meat will cause you to have unstable hormones and lead you to have unwanted odors. Yoghurt is good for your body as it actually increases healthy bacteria in your body and will naturally aid you in fighting the reoccurrences of unwanted body odor.
These natural deodorants actually work to block bacteria growth without clogging pores and uses organic ingredients like rosemary oil, lemon, oil, lavender oil and coconut to name a few.
Natural deodorants can also be wonderful as they help in soothing and moisturizing your skin instead of drying and irritating them and are completely free from herbicides and pesticides. So choose the right skincare products that are truly organic and natural with no harmful ingredients to keep your skin’s and body’s excellent overall health.
