Did you know that sweat fights off infections? It's true! Sweat contains a compound called dermicidin that kills off harmful bacteria before they get inside your body. So why use a deodorant that stops sweat?
Of course, antiperspirant completely ruins this process by clogging your sweat ducts with toxins like aluminum. The bacteria on your skin is then left to grow, multiply and get into your bloodstream. So yeah, stay away from antiperspirant. You should be careful about commercial deodorant too; most contain harmful toxins that cause cancer, Alzheimer's and reproductive damage.
You'll need a freshly-ripened lime. Cut it in half and rub one piece into your armpit. Then, repeat on the other side.
Let your armpits air dry before you put a shirt on; this will give the citric acid time to get to work. It will also prevent your clothes from getting stained by the lime juice.
And voila! That's it – you should be good for several hours.
Hang onto those lime slices and keep them in a marked container. You should be able to get at least a few days of odor protection out of each slice.
Instead, reach for lime to take care of body odor. Not only is it safe – it's also more effective than any artificial product!
