Natural Skin Care

[Guest guest]

Dear Pat,

Your post gave me a chance to repost my Natural Deodorant.

Most deodorants contain chemicals that, when absorbed through the tender

skin under the arms, cause problems. It is no coincidence that this is

often where cancer strikes. Or that cancer begins in the lymphatic

system. The lymph glands under the arms need to be able to function

without the dangerous additives in most Deodorants being absorbed into

them.

Sage is antiseptic and, when absorbed into the skin has beneficial

qualites for the body. This Deodorant is easy to make. I have used it

for over a year in Florida in a working environment (in and out of the

heat and air conditioning)

 

Herbal Deodorant

 

NATURAL DEODORANT;-

1 ounce sage tincture in alcohol form

1 ounce witch hazel extract

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

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

peppermint and sage essential oils)

5-10 drops of grapefruit seed extract - a natural antibacterial

agent, here used as a preservative.

 

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

(each time- although mine did not separate at all) Store in a cool, dry

place. Should keep for a year (mine is in my bedroom which is presently

at a Florida 80+). I did not use the grapefruit seed extract as this is

added as a preservative. I suggest you do add it, however....

This came from Mindy Green of the Herb Research Foundation, from

National Health Magazine.
