The Importance of Natural Deodorants in Keeping Your Lymphatic System Detoxed for Optimal Health

The Importance of Natural Deodorants in Keeping Your Lymphatic System Detoxed for Optimal Health

The lymphatic system is an important part of our immune system that helps remove toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials from the body.

The lymph nodes, in particular, play a crucial role in filtering the lymphatic fluid and removing harmful substances. When the lymph nodes become clogged with toxins, it can lead to a range of health problems, such as swelling, tenderness, and pain. In severe cases, clogged lymph nodes can even cause infections and other serious health conditions.

Studies have shown that adopting a healthy lifestyle, such as eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and getting regular exercise, can help keep our lymphatic system healthy and detoxed. For example, a study published in the journal Nutrients found that exercise can improve lymphatic flow and enhance lymphatic function in healthy adults. Another study published in the journal Lymphology found that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help boost lymphatic function and reduce inflammation in the body.

Maintaining good hygiene practices, such as washing your hands regularly and using a low-tox deodorant, can also help keep our lymphatic system healthy. Conventional deodorants often contain harmful chemicals, such as aluminum, parabens, and phthalates, which can accumulate in the lymphatic system and cause health problems. A study published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology found that aluminum, a common ingredient in conventional deodorants, can cause DNA damage and oxidative stress in human lymphocytes.

Using a low-tox deodorant, made from natural ingredients like baking soda, coconut oil, and essential oils, can help control odor without exposing our lymphatic system to harmful chemicals. A study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science found that a natural deodorant containing essential oils was effective in reducing underarm odor and maintaining skin microbiota balance.

However not all natural ingredients in deodorants are ideal for such a sensitive areas like the underarms!

That’s why our formula doesn’t contain comedogenic oils like coconut oil or irritating odour reducers like baking soda which can be too harsh causing redness and ingrown hairs.

We use only organic and halal certified organic tallow, a little natural beeswax, arrowroot powder and organic jojoba oil plus pure essential oils for scent.
