Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hey , I have noticed changes in sweating more as well, but I look on this as a good thing. It means that my body is releasing toxins. Are you doing the dry brushing and epsom salt baths every day? I've noticed that I sweat less when I am doing those things, as I sweat heavily during the bath, releasing a lot of the toxins. I've stopped using all deoderants and just lather my whole body with coconut oil. with Metta, ~Lori~ > > Hello all, > > I had a very strange and embarassing experience yesterday, I think my > deodorant failed.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 > Hello Lori, I have not tried dry brushing but will look into it this weekend; I just purchased some Epsom salts last night so I will start that very soon. Here's a tip I learned last night from a specialist that I visited . . . you should cleanse your armpits with a combination of tangerine oil and rubbing alcohol. I did that last night and I noticed a very big difference. Cleanse arm pit with pure alcohol first then apply a mixture of tangerine oil (a few drops since it is very potent) and rubbing alcohol, let dry. You can apply an additional layer of deodarant, if you want but I don't think it is necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also do not use tangerine oil! If you need a good cleanser use 50/50 3% H202 and water. Or get a good coconut oil based soap. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Interesting, ! I think I will give that a try. With the dry brushing, be sure to find a natural brush and you do not have to brush your body very hard either. Good luck! with Metta, ~Lori~ > > > Hello Lori, > > I have not tried dry brushing but will look into it this weekend; I > just purchased some Epsom salts last night so I will start that very > soon.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hello Bee, Did I miss something in the files about rubbing alcohol and tangerine oil? Please explain. Also, is witchhazel okay? I also have lavender oil which helps me relax . . . Can you recommend a good coconut oil soap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 > > Hello Bee, Did I miss something in the files about rubbing alcohol and tangerine oil? Please explain. ==>, I haven't posted or written about everything a person shouldn't use in the files. Rubbing alcohol is very toxic, even the fumes to breathe in, and it's readily absorbed by the skin. Maybe help me out by doing a search on the net and you'll get lots of info - let us know, okay? Tangerine oil is from tangerines (fruit), which shouldn't be used by candida sufferers. There are other alternatives. > > Also, is witchhazel okay?

Lavender oil is fine. > > Can you recommend a good coconut oil soap? ==>I buy mine at the health store and it doesn't have a brand name. It is made locally. But there are many good ones in any health store. Luv, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 , I can recommend Tropical Traditions coconut oil soaps. I like to buy them for friends or family for birthday gifts. http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/naturalsoaps.htm ~Anita > Can you recommend a good coconut oil soap? --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new beta.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Anita, Thanks for the great tip, you are the second person to mention coconut oil soap. What are the benefits of using coconut oil soap apart from basic hygenic care? > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Everyone is raving about the all-new beta. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hi - Well, the ingredients are much healthier and safer than regular detergent/deodarant-like soaps and you can feel the difference too. My dad asks for it regularly because it helps his fungal skin issues (as you can imagine since it contains coconut oil which is naturally antifungal). My husband and I love it for its moisturizing effects. Just imagine coconut oil, but just a more soapy/foamy version. Hope you will like it! ~Anita jade13starr <jade13starr@...> wrote: Anita, Thanks for the great tip, you are the second person to mention coconut oil soap.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I use a soap which has coconut and olive oils plus tea tree oil, and it really helps me with the skin issues I have: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=33986 & catid=47515 & aid=335972 & apar\ am=desert_essence_castile_li Plus it's very inexpensive. I buy this at my Whole Foods store and have seen it at Trader Joe's too.

I make my own soap. I used to have really dry skin but since using my own soap it isn't dry anymore. Many of the large soap manufacturers remove the natural glycerin from soap and sell it back to the cosmetic industry. Plus a lot of stuff sold isn't even soap, its a detergent. Much of it is harsh and removes the natural oils in your skin. If the label doesn't say it is " soap " then it's a detergent. Homemade or specialty soaps will be loaded with natural glycerin, won't be harsh and won't strip all the natural oils in your skin.
