Most deodorants on sale in the shops come combined with an anti-perspirant. Deodorants are used to combat odour which can be mightily unpleasant. Anti-perspirants are used to stop perspiration. Now, of course, we perspire for a reason and it cannot be a good idea to stop this particularly in the underarm region where there is such a large group of lymph nodes. If we prevent toxic waste being expelled what happens to it here? So don’t cause problems by using anti-perspirants – they are definitely not natural.

Now how to deal with underarm odour. Firstly bathe or shower regularly to keep the area clean. Perspiration only smells bad when it is stale. When shaving under the arms do not use a deodorant directly after. Leave it for some hours – possibly overnight. Even when you do use a deodorant make sure that it is not full of synthetic chemicals. Choose a product which is natural and organic.
