How to make your own natural deodorant

Deodorant is something most of us consider an essential beauty product. If for some reason we ran out of deodorant, we would likely spend the day checking our underarms. But have you ever looked at the list of  ingredients in your deodorant? Commercial deodorants contain chemicals such as aluminium and fragrances that could be harmful or even toxic. Aluminum is an effective anti-perspirant and is therefore present in almost every commercial brand of deodorant. However it mimics oestrogen and can disrupt your hormones, not to mention it being linked with Alzheimer’s and autoimmune disorders. One simple side-effect we often experience from artificial deodorants is itching in our underarms. Your body may be trying to tell you something.
