✨ Option 1 – Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide) Deodorant

🌿 Clinical Applications

  • Natural, aluminum‑free body‑odor control.
  • Neutralizes acidic sweat residues, making the skin less hospitable to odor‑producing bacteria.
  • Can be scented with a few drops of essential oil (e.g., frankincense) for a pleasant aroma.
  • Does not block sweating – the skin can still thermoregulate normally.
  • Make sure you get the regular – not the peppermint version (as this will cause stickiness). 

🧪 Western Therapeutic Actions

  • Magnesium hydroxide raises the surface pH, discouraging bacterial growth.
  • Frankincense essential oil (but add your favorite) adds mild antibacterial activity and a fresh scent.

🍃 TCM Therapeutic Actions

  • Clears “Heat & Dampness.” The cooling nature of magnesium helps disperse internal heat that can manifest as foul odor.
  • Opens pores – aromatic oils like frankincense are used to move stagnant Qi and allow toxins to exit through the skin.

💊 Dosage (Application)

  • Frequency: Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin once daily (or as needed).
  • Method: Use the glass roller bottle supplied at the office for smooth, even coverage.
  • Optional scent: Add 2–3 drops of your favorite essential oil per ounce of Milk of Magnesia before rolling.

⚠️ Cautions & Contra‑indications

  • Never self‑prescribe – follow the suggested usage and consult a healthcare professional if you have eczema, dermatitis, or open wounds.
  • Avoid aluminum‑containing antiperspirants – they can irritate skin and have been linked to health concerns.
  • No fluoride – fluoride is unnecessary.
  • Essential‑oil sensitivity: Perform a patch test; discontinue if redness, itching, or burning occur.

🏃‍♀️ Lifestyle Instructions

  • Shower daily, especially after sweating; pat skin dry before applying the roll‑on.
  • Choose breathable fabrics (cotton, linen or wool) to allow sweat evaporation.
  • Keep skin moisturized with a light, natural lotion/oil (i.e. coconut) —avoid heavy creams in odor‑prone zones.
  • Manage stress (deep breathing, meditation) as stress can increase sweat production.
  • Keep living spaces well‑ventilated; use fans or air purifiers to lower humidity.

🌬️ Option 2 – Ozone Roll‑On Deodorant

🌿 Clinical Applications

  • Targets severe body odor in skin folds, between thighs, or any area prone to rashes, yeast, fungal or bacterial problems.
  • Oxidizes odor‑causing molecules, providing rapid relief when regular deodorants aren’t enough.

🧪 Western Therapeutic Actions

  • Ozone (O₃) is a powerful oxidizing agent that breaks down organic compounds on the skin surface, neutralizing foul smells.
  • Reduces microbial load (bacteria, yeast, fungi) by disrupting cell membranes.

🍃 TCM Therapeutic Actions

  • Dispels “Damp‑Heat” – ozone’s clearing effect aligns with TCM principles of eliminating damp‑heat that manifests as foul odor and skin irritation.
  • Invigorates “Wei‑Qi” (defensive energy) to strengthen the body’s outer protective layer.

💊 Dosage (Application)

  • Form: Roll‑on bottle (available at the office or directly by PurO3).
  • Frequency: Apply a thin coat to the affected area twice daily (morning and evening) until odor improves.
  • Technique: Roll gently over clean, dry skin; avoid excessive layering— a light film is sufficient.

⚠️ Cautions & Contra‑indications

  • Never self‑prescribe – use only as directed and seek medical advice for open wounds or severe skin conditions.
  • Do not apply to broken skin or open cuts; ozone can cause irritation, but can be used on rashes and other skin conditions.
  • Avoid eyes and mucous membranes.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare provider before use.
  • Allergy to ozone‑generated scents: Stop use if you experience itching, burning, or redness, however, it is likely this is transient.

Legal statement: Ozone roll‑on deodorant is for external use only. Do not ingest, and do not substitute it for prescribed medical treatments without professional consultation.

🏃‍♀️ Lifestyle Instructions

  • Clean the target area thoroughly before each application; pat dry.
  • Wear loose, breathable clothing in treated zones to minimize moisture buildup.
  • After applying, allow the roll‑on to dry for a minute before dressing.
  • Incorporate regular skin‑care routine (gentle cleansing, light moisturizing) to keep the skin barrier intact.
  • Practice good personal hygiene and manage stress to reduce sweat‑induced odor.
  • Additional Options by PurO3 (links): Ozone-Infused Oil Soaps and Ozone-Infused Sun Repair Lotions can be used on the entire body for additional skin care. 

Both options are offered at our office – you can purchase empty bottles for Milk of Magnesia or the ready‑made ozone roll‑on. Choose the one that best fits your needs, and remember to follow the safety guidelines above. 🌱✨
