Tawas as Deodorant
Tawas is a safe natural way to control body odor or deodorant.
Tawas is hypoallergenic, easily washable, it is not an antiperspirant thus it does not clog the skin pores. Tawas works by eliminating the odor causing bacteria so the body would not smell while maintaining the natural way of sweating. Tawas is applied by gently rubbing the crystal in the armpits or feet while the area is damp from showering or washing. Tawas leaves an invisible layer to the areas it is applied. The crystal has no scent and gives 24 hour protection
Tawas as Astringent
Tawas acts as astringent in small cuts to stop bleeding and infection. Tawas is also used as a soothing agent during or after body hair removals by waxing or shaving. Tawas is also used to treat hemorrhoids. Tawas powder dissolved in five parts water has been used to shrink hemorrhoids and stop them from bleeding
Powdered alum is commonly cited as a home remedy
