How To Make Natural Deodorant: Spritz Yo Pitsz

Did you know that deodorant is bad for you? I had no clue until a friend told me about some of the things that they put in it and what it does to your body! I then started to read about it on the internet. Here is some of what I found...

Did you know?

• Did you know that ALL antiperspirants have aluminum? There is a belief that there are links to Alzheimer's and aluminum... Yes, you are adsorbing this when you use ALL deodorants!
• Did you know that some antiperspirants have preservatives? If you will not eat preservatives then why put them on your body? Yes this is adsorbing into your blood stream!!
• Did you know that antiperspirants are a DRUG? Yep, this is true. Antiperspirants are controlled my the FDA... Yes... that makes antiperspirants a over the counter DRUG!
• Did you know that there is a link to breast cancer? Yes that is right... BREAST CANCER! Right now this is just a link but do you really want to take that chance? 

 In this blog I will help you make a deodorant spray. This spray is not too girly for a man to use too. I have a friend who loves this spray so much that she puts it in her hair :) yep, it does smell that good! 

Spritz Yo Pitsz

Natural deodorant spray

This is so easy anyone can make this product. Please remember that I use doTERRA Oils only. If you are using other brands of oils you might not get the same results. 

You can order doTERRA oils here:  http://www.mydoterra.com/wimberly

Alright here we go! 

Combine all the ingerdiensts in a small spray bottle (2oz-3oz) I used a 3oz

2 drops of Sandlewood

5 drops of Cypress

5 drops of Lavender

5 drops of Coriander

10 drops of Rosemary

Place all drops in your spray bottle. Fill your spray bottle with Natures Sunshine's Enzyme Spray. Don't have any? Well then do what I did. 1 tablespoon of alcohol (I used Vodka because I am a dork and thought alcohol = Vodka) and fill the rest with Aloe Vera Juice (I found this in the natural section in my local supper market) You can also use Witch Hazel instead of the Aloe Vera Juice if you like. Now every time you use it all you need to do is shake before use. 

This recipe is from Laurie Langfitt and Leila Clark. Thank you ladies for loving oils and getting me to love them just as much!
