Hi Dr. Axe, I love that you are advocating the use of essential oils as they can be so healing and can eliminate body odour. I must admit to being a bit lazy and bought proskin athlete for women instead of making my own. It has some of the oils you mention - coconut oil, tea tree oil and patchouli oil and it has worked wonders for my under arm odour. It doesn't stop me from sweating but when I do sweat I don't smell because I think it kills the bacteria that causes it and it smells lovely too. I also read that sweating is healthy and I don't sweat that much so I didn't need to use an anti-perspirant in addition to this.

This is true my mom does this and her armpits smell literally like absolutely nothing. Even when she is sweating. I think the lime kills bacteria. My only advice would be to make sure your armpits won't be exposed to the sun to prevent sun burning. Wear full t-shirts instead of strapless or tank tops.

Great suggestion. After I stopped using traditional anti-persperant / deoderants I started cleaning my underarms with a diluted mixture of apple cider vinegar and water. The ACV kills bacteria and once dried you do not smell it but the under arm odors are gone. (At least it worked great for me). I still use natural deoderants so I love the idea of this DIY deoderant. Many thanks!

@lupsy54 6 жыл бұрын

Nicole Jones hi I have a question: do u recommend using the vinegar and water in the shower as soap for your underarms? Or before applying the natural deordarent? Thanks! :)

@nicolejones7084 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Lupe, I actually put it on before my shower so it has time to kill the bacteria. You can rinse it off in the shower after if you want, so as long as you leave it on long enough to kill the bacteria. Also sometimes I do it if I do not take a shower right away, I will just take a cotton swap, wipe the underarm, let it dry and then add deoderant after it dried. Hope that helps :)

Hello Dr. Axe, do you know of any treatments for Hordoleum? It tends to flare up when I have the heat on in my car. Ocassionally, I will do a black tea bag over the eye...I looked it up on the internet, but thought maybe you had additional info. It does give relief. Sometimes I don't feel like boiling a tea bag...esp. when I get home from work, which is close to midnight. I'm a NA and I work second shift. Thank you. Also, I made my own pit deodorant and the baking soda irritated my underarms...which I use ocassionally still..I switch on/off with a natural spray deodorant I found at TJMax. I don't care too much for the Tom's deodorant...it makes me feel greasy!

I have tried switching to natural deodorants with simply arrowroot powder, baking soda, coconut oil and essential oil ingredients. But I developed a very painful underarm inflamed rash on both underarms. When I quit applying the product, it healed. Reintroduced, it came back. I believe this is from the abrasiveness of the baking soda or arrowroot. I had to go back to my aluminum conventional brand but I really don't want to! Any suggestions on how to prevent the rash?
