• Soothing. Relieves itching and irritation after depilation or shaving of intimate areas and underarms.
• Renewing. Renews skin cells.
• Hemostatic. For small cuts and scratches, thanks to its astringent properties, it stops bleeding.
• Drying. The salt in the composition of the acidic stone removes excess moisture from the cells of the dermis and dries it out.
• Disinfectant. It is capable of killing harmful bacteria not only on the human body, but also on clothing.
• Universal. Works great as a natural disinfectant, against powdery mildew, cold sores, canker sores and warts, against acne, periodontitis, for itching and swelling after insect bites, after shaving, for abrasions, minor bleeding and wound healing, as well as against a runny nose - water with dissolved Alunite has disinfecting and healing effects; it can also be applied to cold sores

The mineral is often used for thrush because it can kill up to 40% of harmful bacteria. Natural deodorant = ALUNITE = is a salt crystal of volcanic origin that is activated by water. 

Is alum better than antiperspirant?

It will depend precisely on the form in which the compound contains aluminum (AL) whether the product is harmful or not. Antiperspirants contain AL in the form of aluminum chlorohydrate, which ionizes, creating free AL + + + radicals with a positive charge that penetrate through the cell membrane into the body and accumulate in the lymph nodes and internal organs. Alunite = a mineral salt, potassium aluminum sulfate.

Alunite - Potassium Alum, has a negative ionic charge, has a sufficiently large molecule that cannot penetrate cell membranes, and therefore does not accumulate in the lymph nodes. 

When using alum, a thin layer of crystal particles forms on the surface of the skin, which does not prevent sweating! 
Alunite only blocks the reproduction of microorganisms whose activity causes odor. Therefore, alunite should be applied to a clean body immediately after showering, before any odor has appeared.

That is the first possible reason why alunite allegedly "doesn't work" = incorrect use!

Alunite is completely harmless to the body because, unlike many modern deodorants, it does not contain aluminum chlorohydrate or other harmful chemical substances. 
Contains no emulsifiers that clog pores and sweat ducts.

1. Alunite does not disrupt the function of the sweat glands. It has a strong natural antibacterial effect.
2. Effectively helps with periodontitis and bleeding gums.
3. It is effective as a supportive remedy in the treatment of yeast infections in women.
4. It is excellent for treating cold sores and immediately relieves allergic itching.
5. Immediate use at the onset of canker sores stops their growth and relieves pain.
6. It is odorless and does not contain fragrances that would overpower the scent of the perfume.
7. Contains no oils, so it does not leave stains on clothing.
8. Eliminates itching and skin irritation, destroys bacteria that cause odor, provides freshness for more than 24 hours.
9. Alunite is 6–12 times more effective than regular deodorants and antiperspirants.

When does ALUNIT NOT WORK? 
Every person has their own natural body odor, which alunite does not remove. Even after bathing, the body has its own scent. Some have a delicate and faint scent, others a rather strong one. Alunite does not mask the natural odor in any way, because in this case it is not caused by the action of bacteria, whose activity alunite blocks.

Sometimes an unpleasant odor is associated with disorders:

• the hormonal system
• endocrine glands
• skin and other diseases

In this case, body odor is not caused by bacteria, but by internal processes in the body.

Alunit cannot eliminate these odors! In this case, only treatment of specific diseases will help.

Some signs refer to the water element, which destroys alunite.

The harmony that this stone carries is often not inherent to these signs. Their bearers are categorical, rigid, constantly doubting - that is their life. Disharmony is an element of their existence. And harmony, peace can lead to stress and apathy.

COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER STONES

Every stone, just like a person, has its own energy. There are stones that attract each other and create a positive field. But there are also those who begin to destroy, destroy everything around them and themselves, because they are incompatible.

• Alunite "gets along".turquoise, aquamarine and lapis lazuli thanks to their light, transparency and similar magical power.
• On the other hand, acidic stone cannot be used either in jewelry or in talismans, nor can it be stored next to ruby, chrysolite, and malachite - they have different origins and compositions, properties, and energy.

COLOR AND VARIETIES

Depending on the color of alunite, there are several types:

• Pure crystal of milky white (reaching light gray) or transparent color. Depending on the deposit, it may acquire a pearly sheen.
• If impurities of iron, manganese, or sodium are present, the mineral acquires shades of yellow, orange, red, and green.
• Rare blue alunites exist.
• Minerals with the "Alexandrite effect" - the ability to change color depending on the lighting

LOCALITIES

Natural antiseptic is not a rare mineral - its large and small deposits are found in Europe and Asia, North and South America, and even in Australia. It is surprising that almost no alunite is found in the territory of ancient Egypt and Rome. Large deposits of the stone are located in Russia in the Middle Urals (the village of Brusný kámen), Primorsky Krai (the village of Dalnegorskoye), and the Amur Oblast, as well as in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Ukraine. Extensive deposits are located in the USA and Italy.

Mining the mineral is simple: from alunite ore, which does not lie deep at all. It gets crushed,

HISTORY AND TRADITION

Alunite, or alum, forms in the upper layers of the Earth's crust as a result of a low-temperature hydrothermal process in the temperature range of 15–400 °C. It can heal many human diseases, is endowed with magical properties and great power that can harmonize the human body.Alunite has been known for thousands of years. In ancient Egyptian papyri, Babylonian cuneiform texts, and the writings of the Roman author Pliny the Elder, this stone was described as having amazing antiseptic properties and bore several names: "red stone" or "sour stone".

• In ancient Oriental medicine, alunite was widely used and revered for its miraculous properties. And then, after it was at 15. After its deposit was discovered in Italy in the century, alunite crystals and powder began to be used not only as a disinfectant, but also to treat many diseases.
• The mineral received its name relatively recently - at the end of the 18th century. century in France. "Alun" - this is what geologists called the amazing stone. And the translation of the French name is prosaic and denotes the chemical composition of the stone - "alum".

INTERESTING FACTS

• Humans have learned to cultivate artificial alunite, but the purity of the mineral cannot be achieved, so it is used only for industrial purposes.
• Wizards claim that the stone is capable of controlling light and dark energies.
• If a cut occurs during shaving, it should be immediately treated with an alum pencil. This helps you avoid capillary bleeding and irritation
• The stone must not be placed on the surface of a table without a stand, otherwise it will gradually corrode it.
• Alunite is not poisonous and should not be eaten!

Alunite is unique. It does not have a high value, like a diamond or an emerald. But people appreciate its amazing healing properties. This mineral is a great gift from Mother Nature to all of humanity.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

The "Alunite" groups have the formula KAl3 (SO4) 2 (OH) 6; sometimes potassium is replaced by sodium, then the formula changes to NaAl3 (SO4) 2 (OH) 6. The name comes from the French alun – alum. Aluminum is present in the composition of alunite, just as it is in common antiperspirants.
