I came across this article about using apple cider vinegar as an antiperspirant/deodorant. I was impressed with the author’s experience & so I tried it myself.
The first day, I was just home doing my usual things. Mr. Fix-It stopped by in the late afternoon & asked if I’d go with him to a job. I said okay. It’s been really warm here, even hot. So while he worked, I sat in the very warm car. With windows rolled up. I kept my cardigan on. Buttoned up. I really wanted to put the ACV to the test. I kept the windows up & air conditioning off for longer than I could stand.
I didn’t sweat & I certainly didn’t stink! There was no sign of armpit odor.
I went about my daily tasks all week. Cooking, cleaning, doing the school run (on foot), grocery shopping, exercising, etc. Not a single drop of sweat, no stinky armpits! Then there was the real test.
Yesterday (about a week after the 1st day of this experiment), I went for a long walk (just under 5 miles). It was hot. I wore jeans, a black top, cardigan & flip-flops. I kept the cardigan on the whole time, buttoned up most of the way. It was HOT. I got sunburnt.
I didn’t start to sweat until the last mile or so. It was only a little bit. But I didn’t stink. Mr. Fix-It didn’t find any offensive odor (and he wasn’t just being nice!).
My sister knew I had been looking for natural deodorants, so she ordered her favorite one for me, it arrived while I was out walking. I washed & dried my armpits, then applied this deodorant. It smells nice but takes a long time to dry. I didn’t notice white marks on my black top but I wasn’t paying attention. It works well but the apple cider vinegar works BETTER. The Terressentials one costs $10 for 3 ounces, ACV costs about $5.50 for 32 ounces!
Apple cider vinegar is cheap, it works, it dries quickly & doesn’t leave white marks on my clothes! So yeah, highly recommended.
P.S. I’m wearing the Terressentials one right now & I can feel a bit of sweat & can smell armpit a little. ACV, here I come!
I like to take apple cider vinegar mainly for its health benefits on the body. ”

I want to take it but I just can’t get passed the taste of it, even mixed with water & honey. Any suggestions?

Whoa! This blog looks just like my old one!
It’s on a entirely different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!
Do you use something like Braggs or the distilled product found in grocery stores?
I use Bragg’s or raw ACV from Trader Joe’s.
