Potassium alum

Alum is a natural wonder. It soothes irritated skin, has antiseptic and antibacterial properties.

It acts as a natural deodorant (prevents odor), but at the same time it does not block the sweat glands. However, thanks to its astringent effects, it gradually narrows the outlet of the sweat ducts and reduces excessive sweating. Alum also acts as a prevention against inflammation. Its main advantage is that, even with long-term use, there is no risk of developing an allergy.

You can also use alum for burns as it pleasantly cools the skin after the application.

Historically, alum was used to bond porcelain, glass and tile stoves.
