PROPERTIES AND BENEFITS OF ROCK ALUM
The first property for which rock alum is known and used is above all its antiperspirant and antibacterial properties: the saline component of this mineral creates an inhospitable environment for bacteria, which instead proliferate in the humid areas of the body and allow the formation of bad odors. However, physiological sweating is not blocked by rock alum as can happen with some chemical deodorants on the market. Rather, it acts as a protective "film" on the sweat glands that prevent the bacteria that cause bad odors from taking root.
In addition, potassium alum is an excellent disinfectant: It is in fact used on any type of skin irritation, rashes and burns. Due to its astringent and haemostatic power, it is also used to immediately stop the bleeding of cuts and small wounds, such as in the case of hair removal or shaving. In the form of a small crystal, in fact, it is useful for soothing the skin after shaving or after hair removal and for immediately healing small cuts. It is also used to relieve itching caused by insect bites and for to heal cold sores faster and boils. Rock alum is said to have the ability to stimulate the functioning of the immune system, so it is used in the formulation of some vaccines.
Finally, in domestic use, rock alum, due to its same anti-odor properties, is also used as a natural odor absorber in the refrigerator.
