So, let me describe homemade natural deodorant recipe.

-THE BEST NATURAL DEODORANTS (it is, trust me)

-only 3 ingredients DIY recipe

-organic flavor oils

To make your own natural deodorants you will need 3 simple ingredients:

 coconut oil, baking soda and your choice of organic flavor oils.

My favorite oil to use is the sage oil. You can use lavender oil or mint organic oil.

This recipe will be your good luck recipe and the best way to get rid of unpleasant body odor.

Shopping List for DIY Recipe  

• coconut oil (organic coconut oil)

• baking soda

• sage oil (use your favorite essential oils)

Action Time

How to Make Natural Deodorant – Smelly Cat Cure

Ingredients

3 TBSP coconut oil

1 to 3 drops of sage oil (lavender oil or mint oil)

3 TBSP baking soda

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING DIY RECIPE

Add baking soda to the small glass jar, small bowl or your favorite cup.

Then add 3 TBSP of coconut oil and stir 2 ingredients until it is smooth and fully combined.

Your next step is to add 1 to 3 drops of your favorite oil. 

Stir again and you are done.

You just made new product in your kitchen.

It will look like a little white angel waiting to make you happy.

And above all this fresh scent is the best beauty products.

You will smell so good and from the first time you will love this DIY deodorant.

Please move the coconut baking soda mixture to a jar with lid or just keep it in a small cup cover with lid.

How to apply the natural deodorant

Use your own fingers.

Swipe a clean finger into the coconut and baking soda mixture.

Please use a very tiny amount.

Rub the mixture or very small amount into your underarm area.

Wait until it is dry before wearing clothes. (I like to wait 10 minutes)

IMPORTANT:

I did not have any problems with using the baking soda. (how about you?)

This is the recipe I am using for a very long time.

If you have redness or allergic reaction replace baking soda (or use smaller amount of the baking soda). Please check important note below.

If you are asking how often should you use this recipe the answer is below.

For the best results I use every morning after taking the shower.

BTW, this recipe works 100%. I will repeat again: This recipe works 100%

You will love this homemade deodorant recipe using simple 3 ingredients.

Once you make this recipe you will never buy or look for the store-bought deodorants.

This recipe will be your regular deodorant and you will save so much money.

Sorry to all health food store. Just kidding. You will still buy some other healthy ingredients like apple cider vinegar, bentonite clay, coconut oil, essential oils and other natural ingredients.

Remember: Should I mention again and I will … the bad smell will be your past and your own deodorant will be the new products you will use every single day. Why? Because it is good idea and the best deodorant for all of you who are looking how to get rid of bad smell.

Quick Note

Coconut Oil – I used organic, liquid coconut oil. If you are allergic to coconut oil you can use almond oil, avocado oil or jojoba oil. 

Baking Soda – I used baking soda with no ALUMINUM. Please this is super important, be sure you are using aluminum free baking soda for homemade natural aluminum-free deodorant. My favorite brand is Red Mill. The best place to buy is the health food store or any health store near you. (In Canada Vita Store, Superstore, Safeway is the place to buy sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) that has no aluminum in it.

Essential Oils – I like to use organic sage oil or organic Peppermint oil.  Also you can use lavender oil or tea tree oil. I don’t like using cinnamon or clove oil. For me it is too strong.

IMPORTANT NOTE

1. In case you develop a rash underarm please stop using the baking soda in the recipe. Replace with arrowroot powder or tapioca starch. Another option is to cut baking soda in half so instead of using 3 TBS of baking soda use 1 1/2 TBS. Check your skin and the irritation will be gone. 

2. Make sure that essential oils you are using are safe for you. For me I can’t use cinnamon oil. It is too strong for me. 

3. When using the homemade deodorant recipe please use a tiny amount (and I mean very tiny amount). Wait for 10 minutes before you wear shirt or dress to avoid any staining issue.

4. Do not apply homemade deodorant immediately after the shaving. I like to wait at least 8 hours before I apply a tiny amount underarm. 

FINAL NOTE about making Homemade Deodorant recipe (or your own deodorant)

Super easy to make. It is only 3 ingredients recipe.

BTW if you don’t like to use the essential oils you can make this recipe using only baking soda and coconut oil.It is that simple. Your own deodorant is not high-maintenance personality.

Final Grade: A+ for very best homemade deodorant recipe.

Believe in magic or believe in the most powerful green clay benefits…Why? Because…

Hello my dear readers.

How have you been? How is your life? Can you believe the summer is almost gone … Where, why and how?

And like always nobody is answering. Why? Why? And Why?

But guess who has the most amazing post ready for you? Your star called 5 star cookies.

And it is not about food today. Yes, I know. Sometimes we need a small break from eating and drinking…

Because, we need to think about our the most important part of the life…And you know what it is?

Our HEALTH or our WEALTH!

So, for today I am sharing one of the most important secret I like to use for my body.

Yes, it is my magic called Green Clay.

DESCRIPTION OF Powerful Green Clay Benefits

The first time I heard about green clay was from the very famous singer and writer Rika Zarai. Her book is the book you need in order to learn about the green clay.

So, what is green clay good for? I can’t answer this question because it is good for so much and so many. It has been used in medicine and aesthetics. Yes, it is that good.

Green clay is my answer as soon as something is not working for or inside of my body. For example 1 kg of Nutella jar flying to my ankle…or I was bitten by insect or I am just so tired and I have no energy.

The green clay always help me. It is a natural product rich in minerals and elements like calcium, magnesium, iron and more. It is my answer when my body is asking for help. So, when they ask me “Do you believe in science….my answer is always the same: I believe in GREEN CLAY!

For a while I was asked to create post how to use green clay… So, let me start with…

SHOPPING LIST for Magical Green Clay

• GREEN CLAY (organic and the best one you can find)
• WOODEN SPOON (MUST be, you can’t use the metal spoon)
• MEASURING GLASS (1 cup, 2 cups or more…depends of your injury and how much you need it)

ACTION TIME

IMPORTANT: This recipe is just for you to learn how to work with green clay. I don’t want you to use larger amount because you need to get the feeling when working with the clay. Yes, I know. It is ALL about the feeling but you will get it. It is super easy TO LEARN. And you will.

Making Powerful Green Clay

Ingredients

1/3 cup of green clay

Water to cover the clay

INSTRUCTIONS FOR GREEN CLAY

If you need clay as soon as possible: (like I did when Nutella jar hurt me…)

Add 1/3 cup of green clay to the measuring glass and cover with water. (cold water).

Do not mix it with the WOODEN SPOON. Just don’t. I know you want it.

For a few minutes you are going to hear the sound like the clay and water are playing or talking.

If after 5 minutes the green clay is not covered with the water completely add a little more. (like 1 tsp and keep adding until the green clay is covered). It is better to have more water and if you do just add more green clay. (check the Quick Note)

Your next step is to leave clay for a half hour or 30 minutes. (or at least 15 minutes)

Then apply the clay to the needed area. (can be your finger, your foot…and so on…)

If you are doing this during the day, replace the green clay with the new one as soon as it is dry…

Important: It will create the mess, so be sure to cover the floor with newspaper or something to protect it.

If you have 8 hours to prepare clay

Add green clay to the measuring glass and cover with water.

DO NOT MIX WITH WOODEN SPOON. JUST DON’T MIX IT.

Just add enough water to cover the clay.

For a few minutes you are going to hear the sound like the clay and water are playing.

You will see the clay cover with the water. (this is must. The water has to cover the clay)

If not just add a little more water until it is covered a little more above the clay.

Leave it for 6 to 8 hours.

NEXT MORNING: At this point water and clay should be mixed well together. If there is still water above the clay just add more fresh clay. Yes, you hear me well. Just add the clay until it looks like the cooked vanilla pudding. The mixture should be like the cream you use for your face or hands. It can’t be too watery.

Then apply the clay to the ankle area, to your foot, to your finger (or to the area where it hurts…)

IMPORTANT: APPLY nice, thick layer of it. (the more green clay the better it is).

Then cover with cheese cloth. (to keep it secure tie with a kitchen twine, dental floss or use your imagination)

If you are doing this during the day, replace the green clay with the new one as soon as it is dry…

Or if you are doing before the bed time, just secure and go to sleep with the clay.

Next morning change it and keep going until your foot or finger is HAPPY and HEALTHY!

IMPORTANT: When you are done and you want to clean the clay, this is very IMPORTANT (check below)

WHEN WASHING THE CLAY DO IT in the garden, OUTSIDE OR USE SOME LARGE PLASTIC BUCKET and take it outside. IF YOU SHOWER IT WILL clogged everything up.

Quick Note

What if you add too much water?

Just before you want to use it add more green clay until it has consistency of vanilla pudding or cream for the face. (check pictures below). Again, don’t use wooden spoon or any spoon to mix it. Just shake it by hand very gently. (see the last picture below, large image)

Green Clay – I only used GREEN CLAY. There are others color like red clay or gray clay but for me the only one that works is Green Clay. Use the best green clay you can afford. I used many and I like A. Vogel green clay.

Wooden Spoon – buy the new one. It can be from $ store. AGAIN, DON’T USE METAL SPOON WITH CLAY.

GLASS MEASURING CUPS – from 1 cup (if it small area) to 10 cups (if problematic area is big). It has to be GLASS and it can not be “the cheap glass”. Be aware of it. Also, you can use large glass bowls or anything glass as long as the quality is high. Yes, green clay is “picky and powerful”.

FINAL NOTE Powerful Green Clay Benefits

Believe in magic or believe in the most powerful green clay benefits…Why? Because the green clay is the solution when you hurt your foot, your finger or for chronically painful knees. Yes, the green clay is the BOSS when you or your body need help. So, use it. As much as possible. You can drink it too … but it is for another post.

Stack the cabbages as tightly as it is possible.

Then sprinkle about 1/2 cup of salt on top of cabbage heads.

Then take your container into “the secret healthy aroma room”, don’t cover with lid and leave it for about 30 hours. (day or two)

AFTER 30 HOURS steps for making sour cabbage

After 30 hours pour the warm, salty water over the cabbages or about 3 inches above the cabbage heads.

Important for making salty water: for 10 liters of water add 1 cup of salt and stir until salt is incorporated.

Place the plate on top of the cabbages to keep them submerged.

Then on top of the plate place something heavy.

It can be clean stone or food safe heavy object. (be sure you can add lid on top of that)

So, let me repeat.

Water-plate-heavy object on top of plate

Cover with lid and let the magic happen.

You will need to check almost every day and scoop off the foamy stuff on top.

Important: Add more salt if you need it.

The cabbage will be done in 3 weeks or 21 days. (unless it is cold room)
