Deodorants
First off (and many people are unaware of this, but) your sweat is odorless. It is the entrenched bacteria feeding on it, that makes you smell. You can never completely rid yourself of these bacteria, although they may temporarily be gone after zapping. The strategy is to control their numbers. Here are several ideas for deodorants. Find the one that works best for you:
Vitamin C water. Mix 1/4 tsp. to a pint of water and dab it on. Then dab on cornstarch.
Citric acid water. Mix 1/4 tsp. to a pint of water and dab it on. Then dab on cornstarch.
Only a few drops of these acids under each armpit are necessary. If these acids burn the skin, dilute them more. Never apply anything to skin, that has just been shaved.
Cornstarch. Many people need only cornstarch. Dab it on, but use only unpolluted cornstarch.
Baking soda. This has been deleted as a deodorant, because benzene has been found in many boxes.
Lemon juice. This acid is not too strong, use what you need.
Pure alcohol (never use rubbing alcohol). The food grade alcohols are grain alcohol and vodka. Dab a bit under each arm and/or on your shirt or blouse, then dab on cornstarch. If the alcohol burns, dilute it with water. Be very careful not to leave the bottle where a child or alcoholic person can find it. I suggest pouring it into a different bottle and labeling it as poison.
Pure zinc oxide. You may ask your pharmacist to order this for you. He or she may wish to make it up for you too, but do not let them add anything else to it. It should be about 1 part zinc oxide powder, to 3 parts water. The zinc will not dissolve. Just shake it up each time you use it. If you wish, you can add cornstarch to it, to give it a creamy texture. Heat 3 tsp. cornstarch in 1 cup of water, to boiling, until dissolved and clear. Cool and add some to the zinc oxide mixture (about equal parts). Store unused starch mixture in the refrigerator. Only make up enough for about one month.
Alcohol and zinc oxide. This is the most powerful deodorant. Apply alcohol first, then the zinc oxide, then dab on cornstarch.
Remember that you need to sweat. Sweating excretes toxins from your body, especially from the upper body. Don't use deodorant on weekends. Go to the sink and wipe clean your armpits at the end of the day like our grandparents did. Often, just plain cornstarch is enough. These homemade deodorants are not as powerful as the commercial varieties – but this works to your advantage.
