Natural Deodorant

Sweating might be a problem to some people, while some people just let it go as something natural and will look at ways and means to deal with it. More and more though people are looking for natural products and this is partly the reason why they go searching for natural antiperspirant and deodorant products.

Most of us will be content with using the commercially available deodorants and antiperspirants, regardless of what ingredients goes into them and what those ingredients can do to us.

A very few of us though, have cottoned on to the fact that there may be contained within these deodorants and antiperspirants, ingredients which may be harmful to us. This is why we go in search of such things as natural antiperspirant and deodorants.

Of course, the fact that sweating is a natural occurrence and an essential part of the body’s function is a completely different story altogether. Or rather, it is the foundation of the search for natural antiperspirant and deodorants. Why? For the simple reason, that because sweating is a natural occurrence, there is no such “natural antiperspirant” per se.

There is of course, such a thing as a natural deodorant, and these are readily available, for instance in the form of crystal deodorant rocks. These alum crystal rocks kill the bacteria which causes sweat induced odor, but since it is a deodorant only and not an antiperspirant, it does not stop you from sweating. It merely keeps you odor free.

This is an example of a natural deodorant, and there are more such natural deodorants available. A natural antiperspirant however, just doesn’t seem to be on the cards, and is not something that is readily found anywhere.

There can and will be natural substances which will inhibit the production of sweat, and if you come across a natural antiperspirant you will want to be very careful in your usage of it. As mentioned earlier sweating is a natural biological function and serves a purpose, therefore using an antiperspirant, be it a natural antiperspirant or a commercially produced antiperspirant, can cause you undue problems if used on a long term basis. .

The best thing that you can do would be to use a natural deodorant, but since this doesn’t stop the sweating, you might not be satisfied with this for very long. Just remember that a natural antiperspirant isn’t always as safe to use in the long run as you might wish it to be. So think twice before using it on a daily basis.
