Fitkari, also known as alum, is a naturally occurring, colorless, and transparent substance that can be found in the form of crystals or powder. It’s made up of water molecules, aluminum, or other metals, and sulphates, and its chemical formula is XAl(SO4)2·12H2O. Fitkari has many uses, including:
-
Water purification
Fitkari can be used to clarify muddy water by enveloping the impurities that are suspended in it.
-
Skincare
Fitkari has astringent properties that can help tighten the skin by shrinking cells and removing excess oil. It can also be used as a natural deodorant, mouthwash, or aftershave gel. However, some say that routine use of fitkari on the skin is not recommended without first testing it on a patch of skin, as it can cause irritation and dryness. It may also exacerbate dryness and irritation for people with sensitive skin or predisposed skin conditions.
-
Home remedies
Fitkari can be used as a home remedy for various health issues, including canker sores and acne. It can also be used to stop bleeding from small nicks and razor cuts, and to prevent infection.
