I have had several bad mammograms in a row, requiring additional imaging and follow biopsies and testing. Luckily, nothing has been cancerous, but it’s still very disconcerting. The radiologist who performed my last biopsy strongly suggested that I ditch the commercial deodorant, due to the ingredients. She suggested going natural. This appealed to my hippie dippie sentiments, so I did.
I tried a variety of them, but nothing really worked for me.
I must sweat a lot, especially when I am at the gym.
The crystal didn’t control odor. I tried a few other ones, but I either smelled like I was coming from a grateful dead show, circa 1989 or just smelled.
When the going gets tough, I get crafty.
I made my own deodorant.
In fact, it was super easy. It works, and it smells delicious.
You need:
¼ c Arrowroot powder or cornstarch
¼ c baking soda
¼ c coconut oil
¼ c shea butter
Essential oils
Melt the coconut oil and shea butter together (I did it in the microwave). Add in baking soda and arrowroot. Mix well. It will be a bit of a gloopy mess-that’s ok. It’s not going to look like Secret. Add in your favorite essential oils. I use lavender, frankincense (has antibacterial properties) and a windmere synergy blend.
