Does it stop me from sweating?
No. This is not a antiperspirant. There is no chemicals to block the sweat glands. Why is this good? Because sweating is your bodies way of releasing toxins that are in your body!
Is there a Detox period/Will I smell?
Yes. Unfortuntely there is nothing we can do about this part...but we can tell you it should get better. The process could take a few days or a few weeks, depending on your unique body chemistry.
IF you experience detox...during that time, you may notice a temporary increase in the following:
Sweat: The theory goes that once your sweat glands are freed of aluminum, they may release fluids previously blocked antiperspirants, causing an increase in moisture.
Odor: The idea here is that the flushing of the system and increased apocrine sweat gland activity results in increased moisture and sweat which undesirably interacts with odor-causing bacteria (which is another reason why we've added antibacteria fighting ingredients).
Sensitivity: With a hypothetical increase in bacteria and backup being released via the lymphatic system, it may be that some individuals experience increased sensitivity or tenderness as the body filters out undesired materials.
Is it safe to use while pregnant/nursing OR on medications?
As always, we suggest you give your doctor a call. Our ingredients are listed in the 'ingredient' section of this page and should be given to your doctor to make sure ALL ingredients AND essential oils (you want to use for the scent) are approved. We rather be safe than sorry!
