Benefits Of Alum by emerged01(m): 10:21pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
1. ALUM FOR CANKER SORES:
Usually for
canker sores, a small piece of alum is
powdered and then a pinch of that
alum powder is pressed over the
canker sore. It stings for a while, but
by the next day, usually the person is
relieved of canker sores. But many
don't like to use the alum powder as
such and young children will find it
hard to bear the burn caused due to
alum powder. This homemade alum
mouth rinse is good way to use alum
to get rid of mouth sores. To make the
rinse, powder alum in a mortar and
pestle. Boil water in a pan along with
little salt, once the salt has dissolved
remove from the heat and stir in the
alum powder. Once the alum has
dissolved, strain and use it as a
mouth rinse at least 2 to 3 times a
day. Salt is also very effective in
treating canker sores and this mouth
rinse can be safely used by both
young and old. If you are using the
raw alum powder, make sure not to
swallow it while applying over the
canker sore and use only a tiny bit.
2. ALUM FOR EYE ABSCESS:
Alum is wonderful
for treating eye abscess. One of my
relatives who taught me the remedy
has been using it for eye abscess for
quite some time. For treating abscess,
rub alum on a sandalwood stone
along with little water. You have to
rub it nicely to get a paste, as it
doesn't rub into a paste easily. This
paste is very effective and it stings
initially, when applied. But the boil
breaks on the same day it is applied,
giving one a good relief from eye
abscess. In India, you can find this
stone pretty easily. This stone can be
stored for years and used.
3. ALUM FOR CRACKED HEELS:
Alum powder
is very useful in treating cracked
heels. For this remedy alum is heated
in a small empty kadai. When we
heat alum, it liquifies and foams.
Once all the water evaporates, we are
left with a crumbly mixture. Once it
cools down, it is powdered and mixed
with coconut oil and applied on the
legs. The mixture should be ground
smoothly, else it will be difficult to
apply it on the heels. This remedy
gives amazingly good relief, if applied
regularly for some time.
4.ALUM FOR SHAVING:
Alum has been used
as an after shave treatment for
centuries. Once you start using alum,
you will get rid of all the expensive
after shaves. For the first time, you
might not like it, but if you continue
to use it, you will find positive
improvement in you skin tone. To
use, after shaving, rub a piece of
alum block over the wet face for few
seconds. You can either wash it off or
leave it on the skin.
5.ALUM FOR WATER PURIFICATION:
Alum is
amazing for water treatment. To
purify the muddy water, powder
alum and add about 1 gm of alum
powder for every liter of muddy
water. You will find the muddy
particles settling down, leaving you
with clear water. Next time you go on
a camping trip, take a small block of
alum with you.
6.ALUM AS A DEODORANT:
Alum is wonderful
as a deodorant due to it's antiseptic
and anti bacterial properties. To
make the deodorant, powder alum
along with little myrhh and use it as
dusting powder, or you could simply
wet an alum block and use it.
However it is advised to use it every
other day instead of every day.
7.ALUM FOR HAIR REMOVAL:
Alum can be
effectively used for body hair
removal for women. A mixture of
alum powder and water or better still
rosewater can be applied all over the
body. This paste tends to retard the
body hair growth over time.
8.ALUM FOR WRINKLES:
Alum can be effectively
used for wrinkles. Take a piece of
alum and wet it in water. Rub it on
your damp face for few seconds.
Alum tends to tighten the skin. Wash
your face in water and apply
moisturizer.
9. ALUM FOR PIMPLES:
Alum can be effectively
used for treating pimples. A face pack
made with egg whites, powdered
alum and fullers earth is very
effective in treating acne.
10. ALUM FOR LICE TREATMENT:
Alum can be used
effectively to get rid of hair lice. To
make the lice treatment, powdered
alum is mixed in water along with
little tea tree oil. This mixture when
applied on the scalp for some time,
helps to get rid of lice. www.wildturmeric.net/2014/06/10-amazing-uses-benefits-of-alum.html?m=1 |
