If you’re like I used to be a few years ago, occasionally you’ll have lumps in your armpits. Check the label on your deoderant/anti perspirant. Very likely that’s the culprit. It’s probably the aluminum content that your skin is reacting to. The solution that is typically recommended is alternating two different deoderants daily and for me that actually worked to solve the lump problem.
However it didn’t do much for my personal aroma (LOL). We found a solution in our home that took care of both issues and I recommend it to you as well. It’s a brand called Naturally Fresh Deoderant Crystal which can be found at just about any health food store. What makes it so effective is that the mineral salts fight the bacteria that cause the odor with your armpit perspiration. It’s a deoderant only, not an antiperspirant. That’s important because you still need to sweat so that your body can rid itself of the toxins in your body through those pores just as with the other sweat glands in your body. The great thing is you can now have moist arm pits without the odor.
As you can see on the link they have all the familiar forms of applicators. The spray on and roll on types have a mineral salt water mix in the container. The stick can be raised and lowered just as with the typical stick brands. The difference is that it’s a mineral block which you wet under your faucet before rubbing it on.
For those of you with major health issues who are incorporating more natural and preventive health habits into your lifestyle you should definitely consider adding deoderant crystal to your shopping list. It’s hypoallergenic and paraben/PG free. There may be other brands. This just happens to be what we use in my home.
Whether you have a chronic illness or are perfectly healthy, the next time you go out to fill the cupboards and medicine cabinets, give it a try and make a personal test for a week. You may have to take the time to figure out which one works best for you – the stick is most effective for me – but I think you’ll be satisfied with the results.
