My daughter cannot use regular deodorants due to her extensive allergies. I was once told something about a natural rock or something like that. Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Hi
I use a deoderant that is natural w/o the aluminum or sodium laureth sulfites. It's called Liken made by Earth Science. It works great. The online store address below sells it. Happy Shopping!

WitchHazel works very well. Spray lightly under armpits using small spray bottle, rub in if desired.
I use Natures Gate or Tom's of Maine Products. Both are aluminum free and work very well. The rock is nice, but doesn't work as well for me. Kiss My Face makes this stuff called "Liquid Rock" that works okay. Locate your closest Natural Food store and investigate.

A mixture of equal parts baking soda and corn starch works. If she's allergic to corn, try potato starch instead.
The rock is natural, but supposedly it contains similar ingredients to many commercial deodorants. She will probably have an allergic reaction to it. They are usually sold in health food stores *without* labelling as to active ingredients. It is a risk to try it, but if her allergies cause annoying rather than life-threatening reactions, she could try it.

There's a product available at many pharmacies called Crystal Stick. It's hypoallergenic, made from mineral salts, contains no aluminum chlorohydrate, and is very economical.

first let her wear cotton fabrics and avoid fitting clothes as these wont let her body feel cool. then instead of deodorant use lemon, cut these into halves and scrub it to underarm before taking a bath, let it stay for about 5min. always take a bath or if necessary wash underarms with mild soap as often and change clothes when u think wet with perspiration. change under wear as often too to feel fresh.

hi seesnow
take a shower whenever you have a break
at lunch time
at tea time
this takes a lot of hard work
but it is much more effective then deodrant
since it does a lot more then suppressing your body smell
