[Everything doTERRA] Re: Deodorant recipe

cypress is a vaso constrictor according the the Modern Essentials book
but I would use it sparingly--one of the ways your body gets rid of
toxins is through the sweat glands....at least the water soluble ones.

So here is my new recipe:Take a 10 ml roll-on -empty. Add 5 ml of lemon (1/2 the empty roll-on bottle)

It is important to realize, that although you can play with this mixture, you will need to have a heavy or low tone oil like Patchouli, Sandalwood, Myrrh, or Vetiver if you want the deodorant to be effective all day.  The heavy oils dramatically lengthen the time it is active on your skin. Also, if the blend feels too strong for your skin, reduce the Purify and Grapefruit by 5 drops each and increase the Lavender by 10 drops."
