Making Herbal Deodorant

[@Pamela-pg8hj]

I made your deodorant this morning and it has lasted throughout a hot day in Colorado. It works better than the natural deodorant , with 27 ingredients, from a natural store. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

[@mirandaandrea8215]

Hee hee ‘ I’d rather be healthy than look completely dry’ well said Teri 🤩👏

[@vivianking8143]

I have heard long ago, that the sweating of a woman doing her work was just her 'summer glow' ")

[@Cronezonetarot]

so practical and useful. This is the easiest DIY solid deocdorant recipe I have come across. Many thanks.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Glad you think so - I love it!

[@gypsygirl731]

😻 I my own as well. I use bentonite clay and arrowroot, essential oils, coconut oil, sometimes beeswax for a smooth glide. The clay absorbs the oils . In corporate and medical field can’t have wet marks on clothes. .baking soda irritates my skin and not suggested for eczema .calendula is a great skin tonic so is frankincense, bergamot, lavender, rose,. Geranium is nice smell as well. For the guys I use cypress, cedar wood, pine although lime is nice for summer with vevtiter /bergamot.👍

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thanks for the tip re bentonite clay!

[@layladarby1994]

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I'm going to add a teaspoon of bentonite clay to your dusting powder.

[@vivianking8143]

Hi Terry, thank you for sharing, I too make our deodorant, for many years now, and have not ever had an issue with staining of our clothing, and in summer I wear lots of white blouses, slips and camisoles. Always a joy. In Joy

I make a salve from comfrey, plantain, and Lavender. It is good for what ails skin, and I use it as a deodorant as well.

[@LadyCoyKoi]

I use salt stick or crystals from the botanic shop. I still have one stick that I had since 2011 and I still have half of it left. Also want to note, that I do drink mint teas, which helps to combat the humidity of South Florida climate to prevent the smell. Also wearing natural fiber clothing helps a lot to prevent sweating too much. I notice I only sweat and smell if I wear polyester fabric, drink soda and eat processed foods, but if I go all natural I don't get the snick, stick or sweat. Also going vegetarian helps so much. If I consume 90% fruits and vegs I don't sweat at all or minimize it drastically and prevents female complications. Anyways thank you for sharing your tips and ideas. Love this! Many blessings (ASE!).

[@1Lightdancer]

The crystal deodorant has alum - which is aluminum! A simple option if you want over the counter is milk of magnesia (plain) - magnesium!! I make magnesium 'water' using a bit of the MoM in carbonated water - it's very well absorbed and easy to make up. You can use the Milk of magnesia straight from the bottle - I keep it in a small jar and it works beautifully!

[@broomhag]

Been making my own deodorant for quite some time, both solid and powder. I've been on the herbal path more than 20 years now. I love watching and learning from other Wise Women. Thank you.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Me too! You never stop learning, it's a life long practice😀

[@louisekrista2582]

You remind me so much of my mother. I am so happy I ended up on this video, please keep making these, it is so helful and grounding. I feel safer than I was 14 minutes ago. Thank you so much ❤️

[@margaretg711]

I tried the deodorant and was amazed how good it is! I previously used expensive organic deodorant which never worked as well as this one. Many thanks for this recipe Terri.

You're welcome Margaret - glad it is working for you!

Oh I forgot to say, the doggies are so cute, both of them. Have a great day.

[@illuminatedlady]

Thank you! I just made my first batch of powdered using the dried rose and calendula petals, a bay leaf, a few drops of roe essential oil, the sodium bicarbonate and tapioca starch ( that’s the only white powder I had) and it smells and feels divine 😊 I’ll let you know how it works in a week or so. Thank you again for sharing all your herbal wisdom❣️🤗

[@zoestewardson-trelfa9139]

I have made the deodorant and the talc. I love them both and was pleasantly surprised at how smooth the tslc is. I expected it to be grainy, but it isn't. I didn't have a powder puff, so I crocheted one with fluffy wool. X

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Lovely!

[@cedarrockcabin3633]

I had razer burn under my arms last week so I applied some of my homemade Rosemary Gladstar Face & body cream. I had no idea it would double as a deodorant due to the coconut oil! It wasn't perfect but it sure did sooth the itch and irritation and definitely kept me odor free the first day. The following day was hot, but still helped a lot. It lead me down the rabbit hole to revisit some of your videos. I ended up adding tea tree oil to a little. It needs further experimentation but I'm happy with the start. Thank you! Also. It did not stain my clothes.

[@christineweber709]

Hi Terry Thank you for your Videos and recipies I have the strong feeling that you really are part of your surrounding nature. Ihave a good herbal knowledge too, I grow and collect the same plants as you do.But because I live in a warmer climate in Austria , the plants have another essence. In pysis and spirit. The same kind of plant is a different one if it grows up in the mountain in the rough air or in a garden pamperd by the owner Yor plants have to stand the rough winds and the misty air And so they are the right ones for you. Not a product from elsewhere! ❤greetings,🌻🦋 Christine

[@Rubiepurl]

I’ve been using this deodorant and dusting powder for a couple of weeks now and it is so nice! It held up well in a couple of 100-degree days! I’ve always put essential oils in my homemade deodorants and powders but your method of using fresh and dried flowers is so much better. Knowing the plants came from my own garden makes all the difference and they smell wonderful. Thank you for your videos! I always learn so much from you 💕

[@MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKS]

Made these and they are brilliant!! no stains whatsoever and smell divine! I think the idea of staining comes from the use of shea butters in some natural deodorants, as I have used these before and they do leave a stain and thick residue on your clothes. Was grateful to find this recipe without shea!

[@ghettocountry8678]

Girl, You've got some really great videos/learning vids which I love, I had to subscribe, not too many true herbalists these days willing to teach their practice..My great-grandmother would never buy a lot of commercial soaps, teas, salves, etc and would get onto family about it..She made them all herself, she was 82 when she passed back in 01 and I was never able to really learn her ways but her daughter my grandmother that raised me, taught me what she knew from her before she had passed back in 13, so I'm trying to get back if that takes me learning with what was lost with her, and I think the video's you create is like a reflection for me in a sense, I just wished I would have gotten to watch her more and could have learned more, she grew up in the Appalachian region mountain areas and in the old folk/wise women ways...

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Have you heard of Phyllis D. Light - an Appalachian herbalist? Once you get going, identifying and making things, you will probably find that you already "knew" it. Genetic memory can be a powerful thing

[@kanders5031]

Beautiful! I've tried many combinations and the single most important thing that affects it is WHAT YOU EAT. Then, baking soda can irritate. From the looks of the comments, it appears Shea butter can stain clothing (I thought it was the coconut oil). Citrus essential oils are antibacterial so can help with eliminating odor (I've added lemon, lime and apricot with some success). Also, Trader Joe's has a Tea Tree Oil facial wash which works perfectly as a midday "refresher" when it is added to some baby wipes. All combinations then work better than any store-bought plaster which only masks and covers the real issue. More ❤❤❤ from the US!

[@blickumblickumblick]

This is great, and to see someone drying herbs for any reason warms my heart. What a beautiful garden. You are blessed!

[@spiritualfusion2040]

Thank you Terry for encouraging more people to live naturally - great recipes and so quick to make, I will never understand the reasons for people not making their own herbal products, there is no excuse, people are so programmed by commercials and consumerism that I find it sad to witness these days. TFS your wisdom it is wonderful.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I agree, especially when it is such a lovely thing to do and the house smells great afterwards.💚

[@chaoskittenxo]

I switched to a solid deodorant like this years ago, I actually feel less sweaty or smelly after a hot or labour-intensive day as a result. I must try making it myself! Thank you!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

That's what everyone says😅 to think we were tricked for decades into thinking we needed harmful chemicals!

[@chaoskittenxo]

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Absolutely! Plus solid natural deodorants have never left underarm white stains on my clothes!

Best all round!

[@sjt4689]

I personally have found baking soda very irritating unless used in minuscule amounts, or not at all. It causes my skin to feel like it's burning. I have heard from others that they have the same issue. It would be great to consider alternatives to baking soda. Arrowroot is beautiful. I am about to mix up a batch of my own formulation of deodorant, which I love. I will be adding calendula infused oil as well as witch hazel infused oil, along with some thicker butters to replace the bulk of the coconut oil, although I still do use some. Thanks very much for the video 🙂

[@tassiegirl1991]

Thanks Terri for two more products to make.

[@cathleen537]

Love your opening shots/images! Are you a Pisces? And, I completely agree with your comments on the many purchased products that work contrary to our natural body systems. My task today is to make a batch of body/hand cream (Rosemary Gladstar's recipe) and to make and apply a flaxseed/fenugreek hair conditioner. On making our own products: I find it the absolute most pleasurable, satisfying and assuring way of life. Not only do I know exactly what I am putting in or on my body, but I experience a profound connection to the plants I grow and use. This way of life is intensely grounding and creative. Wish we were neighbors!!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

It would be great, we could make up batches of stuff together😅 You can't go wrong with Rosemary's recipes. Making the connection to plants and then realising that you have to take care of them and respect them and then you have to protect Mother Earth - that is the message I am trying to get out.🌿

Terri, I don't know if I just thought it really hard, or I've actually come back to comment here. Made this just as you've described here and it works brilliantly! I had a source for a small herbalist's pit paste locally, but she no longer makes products to sell --- and I am so thrilled that this non fancy recipe - even without the lovely rose petals and calendula - fantastic. The only think I did slightly differently is that my coconut oil already had some herbs infused in it. This summer I will infuse some calendula and rose and add some ground petals. Thank you thank you for happy pits and lymphatic system.

Lovely recipe - I've made my own in the past, and it works well! Love the herbal suggestions A surprising option is to use plain Milk of magnesia - it is very effective (years ago they offered a line of deodorant, and toothpaste!) Just pour some of the thickest liquid in a small jar - add e. oil if you want, and use a dab! I wipe the threads of the lid occasionally, as it hardens as it dries.

I use home made deodorant with coconut oil, and had some cloths stained by it. Though now I just use it before I go to sleep, and wear an old t-shirt. No problem since, and it works long with me. I use it once every 3 days or so, (depending on how hot it is outside...). I will never go back to the store bought stuff! I only use the coconut oil and baking soda, with some drops of essential organic oil for a nice smell, not the arrowroot or cornflower, maybe that is why I had stains. It works either way. :) Much love, have a beautiful day!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You can use bentonite clay and diatomaceous earth with your coconut oil. It absorbs moisture and will never stain your clothes like the waxy store bought deodorant does. Your armpits and clothes will stay dry all day long.

Thank you so much for pointing out the folly of spending so much on bicarb and coconut oil just to keep from having to mix it yourself! I've made my own deodorant like that for years; it's fun to switch around your essential oils, too. I like to use lavender in my summer version because it's repugnant to mosquitoes. Red cedar bark essential oil is also lovely and a bit earthy, if you like to mix earth smells with sweet florals like I do. Fleas hate it, too. Put it together with the lavender and you have a great deodorant to wearing on a camping trip. Your idea of leaving some without oil, for dusting powder, is ingenious. Anyway, Thanks for another great video; I just love your kitchen and garden. Your garden looks like a place where a person could sit down on a grassy spot, and just BE. Thanks for sharing it all!
