deodorant /Re: baking soda and aluminum

[Guest guest]

I agree ! So many people in this country have lost an appreciation

for natural smells of all sorts... we have learned to like chemical

concoctions as perfumes, soaps, cleaners etc. instead of the natural

scents... we have learned to like unnatural surgeon sculpted body,

lips and eye shapes instead of what our genetics gave us. ( I can

understand wanting to help correct deformaties and things of that

nature) but we are losing our bearings in so many ways. They say

that your natural scent is one of the ways to attract a good match

for healthy children. I think that being together un perfumed with

someone you are looking at as a potential husband or wife would be

an excellent idea. Edella, sorry for the loss of your husband.

How beautiful that you could not bear to wash the sheets.

Also, why do you want to stop perspiration ? I know of two people,

one who had to have her sweat glands surgically drained and the

other who had to have them removed. The reason why the sweat

glands stopped working correctly was not revealed but my guess is

anti-perspirants. I, for one, will not take the chance. I use the

mineral rock and then when I use my coconut oil and shea butter

concoction as a lotion on my body I reserve some for under my arms

and sometimes add sweet orange or peppermint essential oil. I

don't have a job where I sweat a lot but I don't stink unless

I am very nervous or upset.
