Homemade deodorant with essential oils



The reason why I wanted to make my own deodorant is because I wanted to get rid of the toxic deodorant that I was using. So why switch? Have you ever considered what is in your deodorant? Here are the ingredients that was in my old deodorant I got the ingredient list off of a website: 

 1. Aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly 15.4%
2. elaeis guineensis (palm) kernel oil
3. stearyl alcohol
4. cyclomethicone, 
5. C12-15 alkyl benzoate
6. PPG-14 butyl ether
7. hydrogenated castor oil
8. hydrogenated soybean oil
9. PEG-8 distearate
10. fragrance
11. hydrolyzed corn starch
12. behenyl alcohol.

 The skin is the largest organ in the body. I don't know about you but I don't want to be putting toxins on my skin. Knowing all of  these chemicals that were in my old deodorant, I am so glad I switched. With my old deodorant, I used to have to put more deodorant on on some days and when I went to throw it out I felt the smell of it not only give me a headache but it was repulsive. 

 Tips: Switching wasn’t that hard. I used a detox Bentonite clay powder (instructions are on the back of how to use) on my pits at least once a week until my body was rid of the toxins. Also I made the switch in the winter so  this is the time when my body doesn’t sweat that much. Also I do a detox Bentonite clay powder when I need it (probably about once a month). Here is a clay mask that I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013PZECYG/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here are some toxic ingredients you should look for that could be harmful to you. Toxic ingredients to be on the lookout for that may be found in your deodorant are: 

 1. Parabens
2. Aluminum compounds
3. Silica
4. Triclosan
5. Talc
6. Propylene Gylcol
7. Steareth-n
8. Fragrances

Essential Oils That Are Good For Your Epilepsy/Seizures

Image
If you don't know it by now I have Epilepsy.  I also use essential oils. I have done some research to make sure that I don't use the wrong essential oils that can possibly cause me to have a seizure but also I have looked for essential oils that can help with my seizures.  Now I am not saying these essential oils you can take in place of medication no that would be dangerous! You should always take your seizure medication and follow your doctors orders. What I am saying is that through my experience these essential oils have helped me either stop a seizure from coming on (in stressful situations and lack of sleep situations).  Here is a list of essential oils that you can use to help with seizures (along with your regular seizure medication, of  course). Frankincense - I put this one diluted on my big toe when I feel a seizure coming on, have had extra stress and have a stress headache, or haven't had enough sleep and I feel the effects right away (I always dilute all

Essential Oils for Anxiety

cript async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"> First I want to talk about why I use essential oils for my anxiety.  The first reason why is because I would rather use something natural and good for my body than keep putting more and more medication into my body.  Medication has unwanted side effects and is harmful to the body in many ways.  Medication is also man made.  Essential oils are plants that come from the earth and are natural.  I was so happy when I was introduced to Young living essential oils! Another big reason is both of my parents died of cancer! I am so worried that I will end up with cancer too.  There are so many carcinogens out there that we encounter every day especially in our homes.  They are in our cleaning products, in our soaps, shampoo, candles, air fresheners, plastic containers and other things we use on a daily basis.  I have already started to take most of these out of my life by using Young Living plant based p

Is there an Oil for that? Hiccups?

cript async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"> So this morning I had the hiccups and sometimes when I have them they can last all day. I have even had them last up to 3 days. Then I thought why don't I just try an essential oil. So I looked up which one could work. I tried peppermint on the bottom of my foot with a carrier oil and a few minutes later no hiccups! I have never got rid of hiccups that fast and I have tried everything and I mean everything else. I am so happy! This information is not meant to treat, cure, or prevent anything!
