Alum stone, also known by the name of alum mineral, is an element widely used today for the benefits it produces. Specifically, it is a mineral deodorant that has the peculiar characteristic of being totally natural.
Its name alumen comes from Latin and means bitter due to its taste, it is important to mention that it is an element composed of mineral salts and is highly recommended to people who have sensitive skin. You can buy it in the form of powder, liquid or directly as a stone in any herbalist.
Some benefits and uses of alum stone:

> It will provide you with a healing effect on the skin.
> It will help you prevent skin irritation.
> It will help you fight acne.
> It will provide you with a bactericidal effect.

I have read on several pages how wonderful this stone is but I would like to know if the mineral components are not harmful to health if they are used for a long time and what is true that if you introduce a small piece into the vagina these will narrow? What problems can this cause in her?
The one that is harmful to health or toxic is the ammonium content (ammonium alum), the one that can be used without fear is the potassium content (potasium alum), but it should not be ingested. I don't know how to use it for private parts but I do know that it is excellent as a deodorant and to improve lesions on the lips and mouth such as herpes, canker sores and even acne.
Hello,
Alum stone is harmless since the aluminum sulfate that makes up the stone does not penetrate the skin. It is a thick molecule that stays outside the skin. A capita of the mineral is put in the armpits or in cuts, stings ect ... and protects the skin from bacteria. So it is a very effective healing and astringent. I found this information on the website laboratoiresosma.es that they are manufacturers of alum stones and that they explain their uses and properties very well. However, they do not speak of the uses for intimate parts; Anita
Hello Sandra I read your comment and I if I found something about vaginal washes with alum stone, here I give you an address and what it says hugs:
Since we talked about the Alum Mineral there have been questions about the different uses of this precious mineral, most of them are about its internal uses such as gargles or vaginal douches. And it is precisely about this second use that we want to talk.
The Traditional Recipe says that the ideal is to boil about half a liter of water to which it is possible to add a rosemary leaf for its toning and purifying qualities, strain the mixture, to which half a teaspoon of alum powder will be added. , dissolve well and wait until it is warm.
The properties of Alum for douching seem to promise exceptional results:
as Intimate Deodorant
as an antiseptic
as a Firming of the Vaginal Walls
However, all that glitters is not gold and although Alum is a fantastic antiseptic and external astringent, its vaginal use is less recommended. Imagine introducing yourself into such a sensitive part something that, like alum, is used in the paper industry, or in the leather industry to tan hides, it is not surprising that it can generate irritation.

Now, but you wonder if it is effective….
As a deodorant. Externally, alum prevents the decomposition of sweat and odor through its antiseptic properties. However, the vagina has its own natural self-cleansing mechanism thanks to its acidic PH. By adding Alum, the acidity can be modified, preventing this natural purification and perhaps causing what was intended to be avoided (unwanted odors)
Don't give in to popular folklore that attributes "marine smells" to your body. Furthermore, only the reproductive system is located in the vagina, waste functions such as urinary tract do not converge as in the penis. According to a healthy woman with adequate hygiene, she does not smell of lavender and sandalwood (which would not otherwise be sexually attractive), but she does smell sweet. Yes, you have read that correctly. The vaginal mucosa of adult women is covered with an abundant amount of glycogen, the way sugar is deposited. During the normal process of cell destruction, the superficial layers of the mucosa (thanks to estrogens) release glycogen and this is metabolized by Döderlein bacilli, which excrete lactic acid (like that of milk) and thus preserve the normal acid state. of the vagina.
As an antiseptic. Good vaginal hygiene must preserve the natural pH of the vagina, which in the fertile age of the woman is between a pH of 3,8 and 4,4. Vaginal resistance depends on this relative acidity since the microorganisms that most frequently invade the vagina need a considerably less acidic medium to achieve their optimal development. Alum, although with an acid PH, has a different acidity than the vaginal one and therefore can alter its PH and can cause the appearance of microorganisms. Candidiasis, for example, proliferates when the balance of vaginal acidity is destroyed.
As a Firming of the Vaginal Walls. Thanks to this firming power, a more pleasant sexual life is also predicted. And yes, Alum has an astringent effect, which produces a sensation of "tissue contraction", however, this is still a temporary sensation that has little to do with an improvement in vaginal muscles. What the astringent property of alum actually does is "dry" the vaginal mucosa by capturing water, which can cause itching and irritation. If what you really want is to strengthen your muscles, it is time to start practicing the effective exercises of Kegel, get on some good heels or resort to some more drastic method.
Hi! Thank you for your contribution to the forum, I really think that the information is valuable since I had doubts about it. Frankly, I consider that by culture we have little information about our sexuality, which is why you mention Kegel exercises, and that limits us to live fully, there are countless topics, especially sexual ones that are not spoken and many remain at the level. rumor and that can easily affect health, some of the decisions on these issues have to do more with the idea of giving pleasure to your partner than for the enjoyment of your own body, you put the center on the other before where you should. Thank you again
I am Alberto and I suffer from chronic dermatitis, the alum stone could help me if I use it
and the alum washes are internal or external ??
brenda, are preferably made external. Only for gargling or to relieve thrush on the oral mucosa or tongue. but remembering that it should be done with caution because aluminum is absorbed into the mucosa, which can be toxic to the body
Alum stone is used to soften hard water ???
I worked with alum in Colombia and I would like to know about the alum it sells and its technical sheet.
Thank you
