6 Benefits of Sweating

Sweating is a natural process, obviously. It’s always bothered me how the deodorant companies and their advertising campaigns boast about the ability of their products to prevent us from sweating. That’s why our rub-on coconut deodorants work by engaging with our body’s bacteria and masking the smell of sweat instead of performing the unnatural process of suppressing it. Try making your own with our recipe;

Rub-on Coconut Deodorant

1/4 cup of baking soda

1/4 cup of arrowroot

4 Tb coconut oil softened

1/4 tsp essential oil of your choice or none if you want it to be unscented

1 tsp rosewater

Mix all the ingredients together to make a paste. Use 1/4 tsp on your fingertip and rub on your armpits. In hot weather this will be a liquid so shake first, in cold it will be solid. Just place your finger on it for a moment to melt enough to use.

*To soften coconut oil put it in the sun or place in a jar in a bowl of hot water. In summer it should be quite workable at room temperature.

Also, here’s a nice little post about the benefits of sweating for anyone struggling to accept it as an ordinary function of our bodies.
