There are several ways our bodies were designed to eliminate toxins – one is breathing which we all do. But do you do it enough? Anytime you hold your breath you are holding on to toxins – so breathe freely and get rid of those toxins. Our bodies also eliminate toxins when we use the bathroom. Make sure you are drinking enough water to have a clear to light colored urine. Any darker and you are not getting enough water.
Another way our bodies eliminate toxins is by sweating. Anti-perspirant has become such a huge part of the American bathing ritual. We are terrified of smelling offensive to our neighbors. Entire industries have been built to support this. But did you know the more toxins you have in your body the more offensive your sweat will be? Obviously that would not be a good marketing angle for fast food places. Because you are suppose to be eliminating toxins via sweat, it is very dangerous to stop this process with Anti-perspirants. The first is obvious because you are holding toxins into the body when they are trying to get out. The second reason is most anti-perspirants and many deodorants have aluminum in them. Think about this, Parkinson’s & Alzheimer’s patients have unusually high concentrations of ALUMINUM in their brains – can aluminum applied to the underarms day after day make it’s way to your brain? I’m not a chemist, but to me that coincidence is too close for comfort. I have not used anti-perspirant for years and I still have friends (or they are being nice and not mentioning my ‘aroma’ – actually I have had individuals tell me I smell like essential oils, and sometimes it’s on days when I have not applied any – they seem to be a part of me – I’d rather be detoxifying “essential oils” from my body than a double cheeseburger or propylene glycol!)
So if you feel more comfortable applying something under the arms for odor control, look for an aluminum free deodorant, and keep that area clean so the bacteria does not begin to grow. I have a friend who swears by Naturally Yours crystal roll on. Young Living has a couple of great deodorants that are loaded with essential oils. Or make your own combination. I’ve read research on the protection Lavender, Frankincense and Geranium therapeutic grade oils offer to breast tissue.
Mix together these Young Living Therapeutic grade oils: 20 drops Lavender, 5 drops Frankincense & 10 drops Geranium. Keep in a small dark bottle and apply a couple of drops to each underarm to combat odor and to cleanse the lymph system.
