ఈ రాయి ఒక వరం | 10 Amazing benefits of Alum/Fitkari| Fit Tuber Telugu

Summary

The presenter describes alum (fitkari) as an inexpensive household stone and shares various skincare, hygiene, and health uses for it. Most benefits are presented as traditional or anecdotal claims rather than as evidence-based guidance.

Uses and methods suggested in the video

• Dark spots, acne, and acne marks: Mix alum powder with four times as much multani mitti and rose water or plain water. Apply for 20 minutes, then rinse. The presenter recommends using it twice a week, not daily.
• Blackheads: Mix alum with rose water, apply gently for 15 minutes, and rinse.
• Oily or loose-feeling skin, visible pores, and fine lines: Wet the face and lightly rub a wet alum stone over it. Leave it on for 5–10 minutes, then rinse. The video suggests doing this on alternate days and moisturizing afterward.
• Underarm and body odor: Rub a wet alum stone on the underarms after bathing, or add about half a teaspoon of alum powder to a 20-litre bucket of bathwater. For foot odor, the video suggests soaking feet in alum water for 10–15 minutes.
• Itching and eczema: Apply wet alum to an itchy area. For eczema, the presenter suggests applying a teaspoon of alum powder mixed with water for 15 minutes.
• Shaving and minor cuts: The video mentions alum as an aftershave and says it may help with minor cuts.
• Mouth and gum care: Rinse with half a teaspoon of alum in half a glass of water. For bleeding gums, the video proposes a paste of alum, cinnamon, and water.
• Cracked heels or wounds: Mix alum powder with coconut oil and apply before bed.
• Cough, piles, and menstrual bleeding: The presenter suggests drinking warm water with honey and alum ash for cough, or taking alum ash mixed with water for piles and heavy menstrual bleeding.

Preparation and cautions mentioned

Alum can be ground into powder. The video also describes melting it in a pan and letting it cool to make “alum ash.”

The presenter advises keeping the alum-to-multani-mitti ratio at 1:4, applying the mixture gently, and using the face pack no more than twice a week. The video also suggests that people with sensitive skin could try alum ash, claiming it is more effective.

Health note: These are the video’s claims, not established medical guidance. Alum may irritate the skin. Drinking it or using it for infections, eczema, piles, oral problems, or vaginal or urinary symptoms may be unsafe or delay appropriate care. Seek advice from a qualified health professional, and do not apply it to sensitive areas or broken skin without medical guidance.
