have you used a crystal to prevent body odor

I've been using a crystal, salt based deodorant for a couple years now. It worked great up until recently. I am 8 weeks pregnant and it has stopped working since I became pregnant. I have to assume it's the changes pregnancy causes not the product since it did work so well for so long. I'm going to try a witch hazel & essential oil mix someone told me about next.

I think you refer to the aluminium potassium sulfate, or alum. you can check infos here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alum even if there's 'aluminium' in it, it's not harmful. The 'bad' aluminium in deodorants is the aluminium chlorohydrate. In the Alum stone, it's aluminium sulfate. Indeed it works like a miracle when it comes to perspiration. I have myself perspiration problems with my feet, which often gets me skin problems. The only way I found to prevent this (besides wearing cotton socks only and buying shoes that let the foot "breathe") was with this stone. I roll the wet stone on the plant of my feet in the morning, and they keep rather dry all day long. And besides being a wonderful thing with perspiration, it is also a powerful cure with razor cuts. If you cut yourself while shaving, u apply the stone on the cut for a few seconds and voila, the bleeding stops. I would recommend to everyone to use this stone! not only is it cheap, but it lasts almost forever!!! and it's natural too. DON'T THINK ABOUT IT LONGER PPL!! BUY IT!!

never heard of such a thing . Intersting but cool.
