The problem with deodorants and antiperspirants is not only the aluminum, but how it works to reduce sweat and smelly odors. Aluminum reduces sweat and odor by clogging the pores and glands and locking sweat and odor into the body. This clogging process is also responsible for blocking toxins from being naturally released from our bodies..
Aluminum compounds or aluminum salts, such as aluminum oxide (Al2O3), are key ingredients in almost every antiperspirant. They are powerful astringents that close pores, stopping sweat and odor from escaping the body.
Antiperspirants may leave the outside of the body smelling fresh and clean – but inside, the toxins that would have escaped the body in the sweat have nowhere to go. For this reason, antiperspirants have been linked to problems with the sweat glands and lymph glands in and around the underarms.
Despite arguments that aluminum exposure is unavoidable in air, food, and water sources, many doctors and holistic experts advise avoiding products known to contain additional aluminum – especially deodorants or antiperspirants that are applied to some of our bodies most vital glands which are in the pits of our arms.
There are some good natural aluminum free deodorants on the market that will not clog your pores and glands in this way. The natural products are effective, but they will never be quite as strong as the aluminum based products. I suggest that some people may need to apply a second application later in the day. But, applying a second application is far better than the risk associated with aluminum based deodorants
Yes very well said in-deed. my advise to people who kept asking me the same question is you could always cover up stinky odors for the meantime but it will find ways to escape. I tell them why not start from with in the true source of the problem. drink plenty of water. toxic levels manageable trough proper fluid balance and hydration. concentrated urine is just like concentrated perspiration. some people work out early before going to work sweating everything out and taking a nice shower before going to the office makes you perspire less and won't make you stink. that is a good sweat management. consuming less spicy food can contribute to the concentration of your sweat. proper rest also minimize toxicity in the blood. these are all balanced body chemicals were talking about. and finally a steady proper hygiene can control bacterial buildup on skin which causes a more extreme body odor when neglected. and last but not the least...proper laundry procedure can eliminate dwelling bacteria on clothing that amplify the odor once sweat comes in contact with the fabric, the production of stink gas starts.
