Natural Deodorant: It’s Good For You
Bring another kind of “balance” into your life.
People in my life know how much I love natural products as an enjoyable and healthy part of my daily ritual. I might even be accused, at times, of being a “pusher” of natural and organic products. If that’s a crime, then I guess I am guilty as charged.
It makes me happy to use natural scent (aromatherapy really works in lifting spirits). In addition, my body reaps the benefits of the healing properties of my favorite natural body care. I like to think that I also bring a smile to the faces of my friends when they say, “ahhh, you smell like a spa!”
One of my favorite products, I helped create for our IO organic product line. It’s our IO BALANCE Deodorant, an all-natural way to refresh. This product has a novel concept at its core. Instead of covering up bad body odor, it actually helps to purify and strengthen the immune system with Echinacea and Lavender, as well as neutralize odorous bacteria.
It seems utterly backwards to me to use deodorant with aluminum or other chemicals that are bad for your health, especially in an area as receptive as the underarm and so close to the lymph system. Instead of jeopardizing your health, treat your delicate areas with a gentle elixir, like IO Balance. While it can take a few weeks for some bodies to detox from an old chemical deodorant routine, in the long run you will be thankful.
For the record, humans are meant to sweat.
If you are still set on using a name brand deodorant, do your body a favor. Don’t use the antiperspirant variety that prevents sweating. It’s not natural or healthy. Instead, work on purifying your bodily systems and minimize odor by drinking lots of water, eating clean foods and consider switching to products that cleanse and scent, naturally.
Smell fresh, like a spa, and ‘balance’ the only body you’ve got.
Peace,
Amy
