Probiotic Deodorant

Most health conscious individuals understand the positive effects on digestion that come from using probiotic foods and supplements. In fact, the benefits of ingesting probiotics have been well researched and the craze is taking over.

As the known benefits of probiotics are now expanding into mainstream culture, new research is showing remarkable promise for the use of this “good bacteria” in topical remedies.  Emerging thoughts include the idea that probiotics can actually help improve the balance of bacteria on your skin, very similar to the way they are known to improve the balance of bacteria in your digestive system. This will provide relief for those who suffer with eczema, psoriasis, various rashes of the skin, skin allergies, acne, unsightly discolorations, and interestingly enough it is also proving to be a powerful antidote against aging (a.k.a. wrinkles)!

Our skin is the largest organ in our body. It requires extreme care for overall health as it is our first line of defense against disease carrying pathogens. Often times, we forget that our skin contains millions of beneficial bacteria, also known as micro flora. Microflora provide an essential role in preventing undesirable bacteria from developing.

This is part where we transition into what all of this means for our underarms.

All of the chemicals in conventional deodorants serve to kill these “bad” or undesirable bacteria that cause that unwanted natural scent. However, they kill the “good bacteria” too, leaving our bodies defenseless.
