Use of alum is an effective remedy to get rid of body odor. It has antibacterial properties that eliminate the bacteria caused by sweat, which does not cause bad odor. Let us know how to use it to remove the smell coming from the body?

Why does alum work?

Alum has natural antibacterial properties that effectively kill the bacteria that break the sweat and cause body odor. Its astringent properties help tighten the skin and temporarily shrink the pores, which can reduce the amount of sweat reaching the surface of the skin.

How to use alum?

• While taking bath: Put a small piece of alum in the bath water and leave it for a few minutes. When the alum dissolves in the water, take a bath with that water. This will help eliminate the bad odor of the entire body.
• Direct use: To reduce the bad odor of sweat, wet the alum and rub its stone lightly with hands and apply it on dry, dried underarm. Alum kills bacteria causing bad odor with its antibacterial properties and its astringent properties tighten the skin and reduce sweat. If you feel dryness, itching or irritation, stop using it.
• As powder: Grind alum and make powder. You can apply this powder directly to the places where there is more sweating, such as in the legs and armpits.
