Deodorant.
What do you think about the studies linking deodorant with breast cancer?
When I search online, hundreds of articles come up, each one challenging the other. Some are certain aluminum and parabins are the culprit, while some show medical studies have proven nothing.
Check out these articles:

I'm not saying I know which is right or wrong, but what I do know is when thinking about how to reduce the risk of disease, I think about reducing stress. When I think of natural remedies to reduce stress without changing your lifestyle or routines, I think Aromatherapy. Aromatherapy has gained approval from doctors, big cosmetic companies and individuals alike. Everyone has heard of the connections Lavender and Chamomile have with calming. Did you know Peppermint is thought to reduce headaches, Tea Tree is anti bacterial and Citrus has antidepressant qualities?
Many products containing natural ingredients and essential oils with healing properties can replace our drug store/ convenience store bought toiletries, like deodorant.
FB Spa carries a variety of natural deodorants: Organic Deodorant Sprays full of anti bacterial essential oils that kill odor causing bacteria before it starts. We also offer all natural salt crystal deodorants like the one pictured below.
So even if you don't believe the talk about deodorant being linked to cancer, would it be so bad to try a natural option that will make you smile each time you apply? Plus you'd contributing to companies that are looking for natural alternatives, making smaller batches, rather than big business mixing up bigger batches to make more profit. :)
