Deodorant is a new thing You are putting aluminum under your arms -- found to be harmful to the human body Regardless of how much deodorant you use, if you sweat you will still probably smell at the end of the day Crystal is definitely better than standard aluminum-based deodorant The type of aluminum used in crystals is not as harmful to your circulatory and lymphatic systems Dr. Krishnan uses Schmidt's It is essential oils and sage and such He has some in a pot and only has to apply every few days because it works so well Anti-oxidative properties in this are good Essential oils keep bacterial load down without killing off the bacteriaSWEATING
Sweating is great for your body Sitting in an infrared sauna is good to dilate vessels, drain out toxins, get the liquids in your body moving It is a type of cleanse! Sweating is good to control good bacteria!GUT HEALTH
