Is there really a detox period? I don't want to have itchy, rash armpits...

If you're switching from a regular deodorant to this, then yes, there will be a detox period as your body purges out the aluminum residue from your sweat glands. I switched from a mineral stone to this, and didn't have the same issue. However, this product is inconsistent, and the second jar I bought gave me a rash, whereas the first didn't.

I can only speak for myself here, but I switched from standard drug store deodorants to Primal Pit Paste without ANY issues at all.

I never had a problem with it. Once I started using it, it worked just as well. Try the regular, though, don't start off with the strong.

its a bit harsh, get something specifically for arms, sensitive strips would probably be better since arms are so sensitive to everything. if you don mind a rash and a little pain then you coould get these but its not the best choice

It really depends on your job and how you react to the cleanse. If you can do it while not working that is really best because you become more susceptible to illness while doing it, you will need a bathroom, and you're going to be tired and possibly irritable.

I would say no if you have sensitive skin. I could not use it because some ingredient in it made my skin break out in an itchy rash . After 2 weeks using it on my neck after surgery I had to stop.

It really depends upon how much you are taking; one scoop, 2 scoops, a half scoop. It could last you a couple of months or less than a month. I use a regular dose of one scoop a day and it lasts a couple of months. You have to consider how much of a cleanse you need and how much maintenance you require.

I usually don't shave the day that I plan to apply the deodorant. I did shave once during my shower, the day I put on the deodorant and my skin felt a bit irritated. But my pits are quite sensitive anyway.

I'm sorry I don't know since I just got mine as well. But good question, please post when you have an answer. I really don't see why we would need a replacement if you alcohol (cleanse) your skin before each use.

I found that as long as I was diligent in washing a minimum of 2x per week, my pet was far less itchy. His problem is with seasonal allergies, so once Fall begins the need to wash so often goes away. I suppose that it depends on the issue your pet is experiencing.

I really can't tell if it's doing anything. I usually do a quick detox. I take 1 tbsp every 2 hours for one day with lots of water. And then I hope it's eliminating the toxins :). I haven't been sick at all or had any health problems. But of course, that could also be attributed to my diet, exercise and the fact that I take my probiotic.

You don't HAVE to, BUT - I left it on every night for about a week, and my skin started to get really itchy, dry and red. My skin even started to burn a little. It also left a little filmy residue on my legs, so it would probably recommend washing off after 20 minutes.

Your hair will initially go through a detox to rid of the chemicals already in your hair from products and diet. It should not lather much once your hair is completely detoxed. Your hair might alps feel coarse while going through this. But it worth the wait and the investment! I've been using it for about a year, it took about a moth or two before my hair was really healthy. Make sure to use the conditioner while your hair is going through this transition. An good luck!!!

Absolutely! I was worried about this too when I first started using this product. I shower in the morning as well and apply Certain Dri every other night before I go to bed. Essentially you want to give it the time to "soak in" so to speak and do its magic over night. Then by morning it won't matter if you wash your armpits in the shower. Hope this helps!

I treated myself for over a month. I still itch. This started back (itching) when I was stationed in Korea. It happened every year but now it won't go away. I am going to try Dr Sebi blood purifier. I think it is something happening from the inside. It's been over a year and I still itch. I don't know what to tell you. If you find something that helps, please let me know.

It actually keeps you pretty dry. Most natural deodorants don't. Others just attempt to reduce odor, and what I've found is that they usually fail at even that after a workout or being outside in a Southern summer. I stumbled across Schmidt's in a quest for something more, and I can't imagine ever switching back to anything else. I can't say I NEVER sweat under my arms; but I can say it's rare, and when I do, there is no odor. This stuff works all day. If you are just now switching to a natural deodorant from an antiperspirant, it may take a few weeks for your body to detox, regardless of what you use, but if you're already using natural deodorant, this will be your favorite!!

They have changed the packaging so there are none. But you take one detox bag and then one of the patches that hold them on and in place. Make sure you don't' have any lotion on your feet it is best if they are freshly washed. Put detox pad in center of sticky side of pad after pilling away the paper writing side of detox bag on sticky side of pad. Place on center of foot and push down all the way around adhesive hold for 30 seconds leave on feet over night take off when you wake up every body is different with toxins in their body's but all the black is the toxin it pulls out.
