Re Antiperspirants

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

With the news that breast cancer ususlly starts close to under the

armpit and that antiperspirants, by stopping the exuding of toxins, MAY,

be a cause for this, I have found a recipe for a natural deodorant. I

have not tried it yet but wanted to share it.

 

1 oz sage tincture in alcohol form

1 ounce witch hazel extract

10-20 drops essential oil blend. Use sage, coriander, or chamomile

to fight bacteria and add another one that has a fragrance you like.

5-10 drops grapefruit seed extract, a naturall antibacterial agent,

used here as a preservative.

 

Mix together in a two ounce spray bottle. Shake well before using.

Store in a cool. dry place, this deodorant will keep for approximately

one year.
