Drinking Your Deodorant.........Hmmmmmmm?!

For years I have heard about how bad aluminum in deodorant is, but have not really done much about it for fear of the FUNK. I am not one to be walking around Matthew McConaugheying it. In the back of my mind though I have really been wanting to make a change because I know the sweat just like urine is waste, and to keep it in the body (antiperspirant = blocking you from sweating) can't be a good thing. 


I bought a natural deodorant and have been using it, but definitely noticed a difference. I need to carry it around with me and reapply several times throughout the day. Conversely, when I was wearing Dove I smelled baby powder fresh from dusk 'til dawn.


The other night I was in a forum for natural hair, and began reading a discussion on chlorophyll. You all remember this from high school biology. Chlorophyll is the stuff in plants that makes them green, and helps them convert sunlight into food. Anyways, in this discussion a girl mentioned that she didn't wear deodorant she just drank liquid chlorophyll, and that she stayed fresh all over (she said EVERYWHERE, and that we could verify with her boyfriend *blush*).


A lightbulb went off in my head. My hubby and I were also taking chlorophyll when we did the raw food cleanse, maybe that was why the poop didn't stink. Hmmmm?! I digress. So back to the chlorophyll as deodorant. I was shocked to find that several people in the discussion also gave up deodorant for chlorophyll. Then I got an idea. I will try to combine the natural deodorant and use it with the chlorophyll, and see what happens.


I am starting a challenge/experiment to see if chlorophyll really is an internal deodorant. Wish me luck, and dry pits. LOL!!


I'll keep y'all posted!

  2. I didn't see this, sorry! I actually gave up the chlorophyll and just began using Tom's natural deodorant (the apricot one smells nice). I chose to take on the non-deodorant challenge as I returned back to work. Bad idea! No one wants to be known as the funky teacher. LOL!

  3. The Crystal deodorant is amazing and does not contain aluminum. I have used this type of deodorant for almost 25 years, it works well for me.
    I have friends who do not eat any form of meat or seafood, they do not wear any deodorant nor do they smell!

  4. Check out baking soda, corn starch, and possibly a couple drops of essential oil for a great working deodarant (note in may not be too solid in warm room temperatures and may require storage in refrigerator)

  5. Lavilin is a good all-natural option, available on Amazon or directly on their website.
