Antiperspirants - The Dangers of Sweat Prevention For a natural antiperspirant alternative, try baking soda. It may take a few days before it begins to work well, but for under arm smell, it works wonderful. It is not an antiperspirant, however, it is important for your body to sweat as you will learn in the following article. Our bodies have many ways of purging toxins from within. You may be surprised to know that toxins are released when we sweat.. Sweat can come out of our pours from behind our ears, knees and out of our armpits. When we sweat we are also eliminating toxins. When we roll or spray on antiperspirants to prevent the sweat from coming out of our armpits, we are also stopping the elimination of some of our toxic build up. If we prevent this natural means of ridding our bodies of toxins, what are the results? Some suggest it could lead to breast cancer because those toxins may build up in our lymph nodes below the arms where they would normally be sweat out. These toxins do not just simply disappear. When toxins begin to concentrate in any one area it can result in cell mutation. Cell mutations are in fact a form of cancer. The antiperspirants did a good job in preventing us from sweating, however, with this information, you have to ask yourself, is it worth the risk? Even though we can sweat from places all over our body, a build up of toxins can result from plugging up any areas that our bodies are trying to purge these toxins from. Looking deeper into this subject we find information on the use of Aluminium Chlorohydrate as an active ingredient in antiperspirants. Aluminium has been linked to Alzheimer's since the 1950's when it was used as a popular metal used for making cooking pots, saucepans and fry pans and it in more recent times, there has been a possible link between this chemical and breast cancer as well. At this point in time, there may not be any hard data that says using antiperspirants can put us at great risk for developing cancer. However, just because people are not dying instantly from smoking, it does not mean they should not smoke. Perhaps we should just keep this simple. If you plug up a hole where garbage if suppose to come out, it will begin to putrefy and rot. This we cannot deny. Chemicals are bad for our bodies. We're certainly better off without them. So, now you're probably wondering what you can do about those unsightly underarm sweat spots. I guess if you really have a problem, and you made the decision not to use antiperspirants to prevention your sweating you could bring along several shirts or blouses to change into. Maybe your problem isn't sweat, but more along the lines of body odor. Well, if it's body odor, you're in for some good news. Try using baking soda under those armpits. Yep, you read that right. I was shocked at how well this worked for me and other members of my family willing to try it. In fact baking soda works far better than any other deodorant I've ever used. Just don't put it on too heavily. My friend developed a bit of a rash at first. I told her to brush it off after patting it on. So, she stopped using it for just a few days, then started to apply it again after her rash subsided. To her delight, it worked just fine and she has not had any more rash problems. Regarding the sweating… it’s up to you what’s more important. Personally, I’d rather keep an extra shirt or blouse handy for times when I may have a little too much sweat coming out of my arm pits, instead of using something like an antiperspirant, which could very well put me at risk for breast cancer.
