Celebrating Memorial Day weekend... kicking off summer...
There we were, perched in a comfortable seat at the first parade of the season, surrounded by my extended family...not a cloud in the sky, I anticipated a beautiful day! There was a slight breeze amidst an unusual sweltering heat. I was sitting next to my sister-in-law and suddenly caught a waft of stale, actually putrid air, ugh!
My sister-in law turned and said, “I am sorry, I don’t think my deodorant is working...I was immediately humiliated...I knew it was me! I responded apologetically, “no, no, it’s me...” She was so kind and supportive as I explained how my health issues prevent me from wearing regular deodorant because of its general toxicities. I shared my plight in searching for a natural and effective deodorant to no avail. And that day I was sheer out of luck. Desperately, I tried an essential oil but was left thoroughly disappointed.
The summer now appeared to present one embarrassing moment after another... I dreaded beautiful days!
I reached for some hand sanitizer I found in the car, when I realized I forgot to put on any deodorant. I wiped it on. Immediately, it was working! I realized it was the alcohol. I knew for one day it might be good but not for regular use.
After that experience, I prayed to find a solution. I began looking into alcohol based deodorants. I found a spray and ordered some. It worked great! But I didn’t want to use it on an extended basis due to my health issues, and certainly did not want to use on my kids.
So...I started reading up on causes of body odor in general. I even read clinical studies. They all led me back to the mineral magnesium—deficiency can lead to body odor and a host of other health issues. As I did more digging, I found out how magnesium helps the body attain healthy functioning and assists in Vitamin D3 absorption. This point peaked my interest, as I discovered D3 levels are key in mitigating a multitude of chronic diseases...especially ability to fight COVID.
I am not a doctor. I researched this subject because of my humiliating dilemma. I was determined to find a solution that was safe and effective for my family and me. I learned that mineral replacement could work...I started mixing ingredients and the rest is history... curadh™ came to fruition... blessings!
