Guest guest Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 The stones I have seen all have aluminum. I actually bought several different ones a long time ago and THEN read them and found I just couldn't use them. Flo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hi Flo, The deodorant stones that I've seen have ammonium alum in them, not aluminum. They are not the same and the ingredient in the stones is not dangers. I asked this question on the group quite a while ago and some specifics on this was posted. You can find it in the archives.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 When I am not eating well, I smell. When I am eating a good organic diet, mostly raw fruits and veggies, I don't smell. I think the best way to prevent body odor is to do a cleanse. In the meantime, if you need something stronger than one of the salt stones, then there are many other herbal/natural products out there. I highly recommend NOT rubbing petro-chemicals and heavy metals under your armits every day! LOL!!

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 We bought a deodorant stone years ago and several " natural " deodorants with the alum as the main ingredient. They didn't work for 24 hours. So as not to waste them, I put them on just before I get dressed in the morning. By 7 p.m. they're usually " spent. " Waste not, want not.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Alum is an aluminum salt (aluminum sulfate). Aluminum salts are used in the stones and in general antiperspirants because they are astringent and reduce perspiration. herbal remedies , " apchat2000 " <apchat@m...> wrote: > > > We bought a deodorant stone years ago and several " natural " deodorants > with the alum as the main ingredient.
