If you’re bummed out because of body odor and aren’t liking the toxic chemicals found in common deodorants, there are natural, aluminum-free antiperspirants you may come to love. Products that contain essential oils can reduce sweating and stinky armpits.
Essential oils have been used for a very long time in the battle against the “bad” bacteria that causes B. O. They have antibacterial properties that prevent odor-producing bacteria from overpopulating. Many essential oils contain natural deodorizing properties to keep you smelling fresh and delightfully fragrant, including:
- Tea Tree Oil contains antibacterial and anti-fungal properties making it an effective natural deodorant.
- Peppermint Oil is antimicrobial and antiviral in nature. And it contains menthol, an excellent antiseptic agent.
- Bergamot Oil with its refreshing fragrance is wonderful for skin disorders. It unclogs pores effectively and balances out oily skin.
- Gentle Lavender Oil with its lovely scent is antimicrobial in nature and helps reduce inflammation.
- Lemongrass Oil has strong antibacterial properties and reduces inflammation.
- Parsley Oil has a deodorizing effect. The chlorophyll in parsley neutralizes body odor and has antimicrobial and antiseptic properties.
- With its light, soothing scent, Roman Chamomile Oil is antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory.
- Rosemary Oil helps reduce tissue inflammation and is thought to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria strains.
And here are another three naturals that, used in your skin care products, fight the battle against B. O…
- Soothing Aloe vera is gentle, healing and antimicrobial. It can be rubbed directly on your underarms straight from the bottle, straight from the fresh plant or from an Aloe skin care product.
- Grapefruit seed extract is quite excellent for fighting candida overgrowth and fungus that can lead to body odor.
- Witch hazel is an effective natural alternative to conventional deodorant and is a great carrier for essential oils.
There are many products that contain these essential oils. If you’re looking for a really good one, Beauti Me’s Anti-FUNGAL, ANTI-BACTERIAL ALOE GEL is an excellent one.
