We often get sweaty all over, whether it’s due to warm weather or perhaps a strenuous workout session. In any case, most people do not realize that sweating is an essential bodily function aimed at regulating body temperature and detoxification. So why suppress it with toxic substances? Well, that is precisely what most people are doing with chemical-based antiperspirants.

 

Why switch to an organic deodorant?

 

We understand that you might be reluctant to give up using your regular deodorant. After all, you probably have been using it for years and have had no problems, so why make any changes at all? The reason is ordinary chemical-based deodorants can hinder the body's ability to naturally detoxify itself leading to health problems like premature skin ageing and even breast cancer.

 

Aluminum is one of the common ingredients used in the production of deodorants nowadays. Consider that in one study -- "Risks of Aluminium Exposure During Pregnancy", researchers concluded that exposure to aluminum among pregnant women is a developmental hazard for their baby.

 

Aside from the potentially harmful ingredients of chemical-based deodorants, use of the latter can also increase bacterial levels in your underarms. Hence, the long-term use of regular deodorants can make your sweat more odorous because of excessive levels of bacteria in the armpits. This explains why people tend to find that their perspiration is a lot smellier when they discontinue use of their regular antiperspirant even for a short while. Still, that is all the more reason to switch to a natural alternative with hygiene products like No Pong organic deodorant .

 

Detoxifying your armpits to help with the transition to using an organic deodorant

 

If you want to rid yourself of excessive body odor during the switch to an organic deodorant, then your first order of business is to fix the bacterial imbalance in your underarms. Consider the following suggestions below on how you can accomplish just that.

 

Wear clothes made from natural fibers

 

Try to recall a time when you were wearing a particular set of clothes, and thought to yourself "these clothes make my sweat smellier than usual." Well, it is likely that you are not just imagining things. Wearing synthetic fibers can make your sweat smellier as they trap more odour compared to natural fibres.  Thus it makes sense only to wear clothes made from 100% linen or cotton and avoid anything that has rayon or polyester in it.

 

Watch your diet

 

Most people do not realise that one's diet can affect how much odor the body produces. Try to avoid deep fried foods, alcohol, and caffeine. Instead add more vegetables to your diet (except for onions and garlic as both can increase body odour). In a few days, you will find that your body produces less odour throughout the day.

 

Thoroughly dry out your armpits after a shower

 

It is common knowledge that bacteria thrives in a moist and humid environment. This explains why your body odour seems worse on a hot day. If you struggle with excessive body odour, make sure that you dry off your armpits entirely after a bath. Doing so will help reduce levels of bacteria in the armpit and make your organic deodorant much more effective.

 

Keep your body well hydrated

 

Making sure that you drink plenty of water throughout the day will go a long way in helping your body get rid of toxins. As a result, you can expect less body odor.

 

So there you have it -- any of the following tips mentioned above can go a long way in helping you detoxify your armpits as you make the switch to an organic deodorant. Body odor might seem worse during the first few days, and it helps to remind you that this is a sign of accumulated toxins leaving the body. Soon enough, your body will start to smell better throughout the day and continued use of all natural deodorants will help you make sure that it stays that way.
