    Phitkari Benefits for Acne

    Acne or a small pimple on the face is every girl’s worst nightmare, but what if phitkari can help you fight acne and pimples? Doesn’t it sound fantastic? All you have to do is make a fine paste out of phitkari powder and water. Apply the paste to the affected area, wait 20 minutes, and then wash it off. Use this paste daily to get rid of acne, and you will be astonished by its results.

    For Skin Tightening

    Having saggy and loose skin is a significant issue, and it only gets worse as you get older. Alum is here to save you once more, and phitkari gives you tight, lustrous skin. Make a phitkari powder paste with water and apply it to your face. After a half-hour wait, wash it with water. For even better results, combine rose water and egg white.

    Phitkari is ready to take on yet another face problem, wrinkles that can be effectively treated with it. Take a solid piece of alum, wet it, and rub it on your face for a few minutes to say goodbye to wrinkles. Apply a moisturizer to your face after washing it with rose water.

    For Dark Underarms

    Your white underarm turns dark due to the use of hair removal creams. They can be restored by applying a phitkari paste with rose water to the affected area every week.

    Phitkari Benefits for Teeth

    The accumulation of bacteria, which produces toxins and acids, is unquestionably one of the leading causes of bad breath. Washing with an alum mouthwash both prevents bacterial growth and removes the bacteria. Dissolve one gram of alum and a pinch of rock salt in a glass of warm water, then rinse the mouth with the solution. It is not recommended to drink because it can make you feel nauseous. You must consult a dentist for better advice.

    For weak teeth, bleeding gums, and dental caries, make a paste with one gram of alum, some rock salt, and a pinch of cinnamon. Gently massage it into the gums and then rinse your mouth to enjoy the fantastic benefits of Alum for teeth. Along with this treatment, drink barley grass juice daily for its antioxidants and calcium, which help to heal gums.

    Phitkari Benefits

    For Hair Removal

    What if I told you that everything you’re reading is true? You must be surprised right now, but this is true. Women in ancient times used phitkari paste to get rid of unwanted hair. Apply a mixture of ½ tsp phitkari, and 1 tsp rose water to the area where you want to remove hair. If the paste appears to be drying, add some rose water. After a half-hour wait, wash it with water. This paste can be used after waxing or threading to help reduce or slow hair growth.

    For Fighting Dandruff

    Phitkari can help fight dandruff, another common problem of today. Wash your hair with a small pinch of phitkari and salt mixed in with shampoo. And your hair will undergo a significant transformation.

    For Treating Lice

    To get rid of lice, make a paste with phitkari water and oil. Apply this mixture to your hair and leave it on for a few minutes. You will be lice-free in no time.

    For Canker Soles

    Apply a small pinch of phitkari over the sole and leave it for 30 seconds to treat canker soles. It should be thoroughly cleaned. Repeat this procedure 2-3 times per day until your soles are healed.

    Alum for Shaving

    Alum has been used as an after-shave treatment for centuries. You may not like it the first time you use it, but you will notice a positive change in your skin tone if you stick with it. Just rub a small amount of alum block into the wet face after shaving. You can either wash it off or leave it on your skin to dry for fantastic results. Once you start using alum, you’ll be able to say goodbye to all of your expensive aftershaves.

    Phitkari Benefits

    For Cracked Heels

    You’ve been neglecting your feet, and now your heels are cracked? Don’t worry; phitkari is ready to work its magic on your heels. Heat phitkari in an empty bowl to get rid of cracked heels. When all of the water has evaporated, you are left with a crumbly mixture. Allow time for it to cool. Apply this powder to the affected area after mixing it with coconut oil to enjoy the
    Alum benefits for cracked heels.

    Use as Deodorant

    Believe it or not, alum can also be used as a deodorant. It works by eradicating the bacteria that cause odor in the body. You can either rub a wet alum piece under your arms or dust alum powder into your armpits. You should, however, use alum every other day for this.

    For Hair Color

    Alum, a chemical compound found in many minerals, can be used to color your hair at home. It is readily available in the market. You can use this to turn your grey hair black. Grind some alum powder and mix it with rose water to make a paste. Apply this paste to your hair and leave it to dry before washing it off with regular water. You will notice a difference if you do this every other day for at least two weeks.

    Phitkari is a gift that has been given to mankind. Many of your problems will be solved if you incorporate it into your daily life. To get better advice, you can book an appointment with a dermatologist via Marham.pk.
