The hype or craze over the past 5-7 years has been switching everything to NATURAL. Ok let’s be honest it has been going on for a very long time, but over the past 5-7 years I have definitely focused more on natural products. A lot of household items are easy to just flip that switch, get rid of toxins & replace with natural/plant based. But what about health products? What about natural foods?
I came into this natural lifestyle as, I will switch out cleaning products. I will support friends who are in the natural MLM businesses and purchase their natural/plant based products. I then switched to natural/100% clean feminine products. Those switches were easy! The switch that I struggled with the most... deodorant!!
For starters, I didn’t educate myself! I didn’t read about HOW I should make that transition! Friends, going from no-to-natural is a process & you need to know that! I went to the store, bought a natural deodorant that I had heard so much about, thought this is easy purchase and start using! WRONG!! When you have used other store bought non-natural for 15+ years... your body will DETOX! What does that look like? NOT PRETTY! I didn’t go about the detox process like I was supposed to. I instantly had red sores, I itched, chaffing, sweating... it was miserable. I never thought I would go through so much distress with armpits!
I spoke to a friend who mentioned you have to detox your body from the old stuff, she gave me a recipe for a spray bottle & to use that several times a day, use NO deodorant for weeks & let your body detox. The detox spray, I will attach the recipe, but it contains apple cider vinegar. I had red swollen sores... ouch, apple cider vinegar didn’t help!! But if I would have done the right process from the beginning I wouldn’t have had all of this discomfort! Friends it took weeks to recover, think about how much you move your arms a day, the constant rubbing, friction & sweating ... not the best environment for healthing! BUT we made it!! I share this... because I don’t want any of you to go through what I did! I want to be an advocate, an advocate to say the switch is amazing but MAKE SURE TO TAKE THE BEST STEPS! Detox body of the old deodorant BEFORE introducing the new stuff!
DIY Armpit Detox Spray:
Add essential oils (lavender) and one tablespoon of ACV to a 2 oz bottle, fill with water. Before going to bed, give the bottle a gentle shake and spray both armpits. Let the spray dry and get a good nights rest! Next day, repeat the process!
