lavilin is the absolute best (pricy)
i have tried every "alternative" (non-commerical, without aluminum) deodorant on the market
i am ultra sensitive
and i deem lavilin the best that can be bought in stores
(and it lasts for days!)

alternatively, a homemade solution is pure organic coconut oil
(yes, the kind you buy at the health food store)
i use spectrum brand
and always buy it in a glass jar
it's also a "wonder" salve for so many other things

just remember - deodorant is NOT anti-perspirant. I had a co-worker a few years ago who was so excited to try some new crystal 'all natural' deodorant, and was SO upset when she still sweat buckets. She didn't believe me at first when I tried to explain the difference.

For de-odouring you can use a little baking soda patted on clean just washed (still a little damp) armpits. I don't use this as I found a great deodorant by a brand called green people, only drawback is its SO expensive.

For stopping the sweat process, you need the commercial 'normal' ones.

Mix baking soda with water and apply in armpit.
Reduce sodium intake to sweat less.

Try looking for something that contains sage. I've read that it kinda tones down the sweating thing. Plus, it smells nice and fresh and clean!

I have tried many deodorants over the years and I found Tropical Traditions Lavender works wonders for smelly armpits. It is mostly coconut oil, jojoba, essential oils etc.

I just bought a Kiss My Face brand all-natural, no parabens or aluminum deodorant with enzymes. I was skeptical because I have tried all kinds of natural deodorants and they NEVER work but surprisingly, this one does. Really. I actually decided to try it because it has a little note that says,"It really works!," and by golly, it does. I'm hooked. And praise the Goddess, no more aluminum.

I use a homemade deodorant, and I've found it to be better than any of the natural deodorants from a store. The ingredients are:

a mix of palm, soy, canola and olive oil (or whichever one you prefer)
cornstarch
baking soda
your preferred essential oils (I use peppermint and hyssop - makes it feel fresh and tingly!)

Just mix the oils with the powders until you get a consistency that you like.

Good luck! It can be hard to find something that really works for you.

I have issues with what you can term "nervous" sweat - totally different than the sweat when it gets hot. In fact, it is worse when cold since the nervous tension when you get cold makes it happen. I haven't found anything effective for this, but I decided to continue my internal, herbal detoxing efforts. First, the colon, then the liver/kidneys, and finally the blood (and drinking quarts of distilled water) and lately, I have brought into my realm a woman with a lymph drainage machine (and I trade services with her) and she tells me I have clogging in glands around my chest and solar plexus area. This process can take a long time, and in the meantime, I end up showering more often and using natural deodorants with medicated powder like Ammen's or something (and if I HAVE to be in public very much for a long time, I break down on those days and use anti-perspirant, but I know this only worsens the problem, so I don't do this often at all).

I learned on this tribe last summer about Apple Cider Vinegar as a deodorant. I have used it since. I still have my natural scent, but not the odor of bacteria.

To use, get an organic apple cider vinegar. Fresh out of the shower, drench a cotton ball or round cotton pad (I now use the pads but started with the balls).
Rub it in your arm pits. It takes a few minutes to dry. This would be a good time to brush your teeth/hair or do something else. Don't get dressed before it dries or you will have vinegar clothes.
Get dressed and be on your merry way. Put on an essential oil or your favorite fragrance if you desire. I rarely do that and only for my pleasure (especially since the world is full of scent sensitive people).

You can apply this at anytime, shower/bath or not. It doesn't last as long as an antiperspirant will to control scent, so some people will take a squirt or spray bottle with them to work and use it mid day or towards the end. I have never needed this, but I do know that when I get really nervous, my scent changes.

Some people are sensitive after showering and shaving the pits, in that the vinegar will sting. I rarely have this issue but it does happen occasionally. The sting lasts a couple of seconds only.

Your natural scent will be present, which I love and didn't realize I even had. I was either unscented from the antiperspirant or suffering from rancid smelling body odor from the bacteria. The vinegar has altered all of that. I can eat it, I can use it on my body, it really is good for me.
