Phitkari or Potassium alum is an astringent/styptic and antiseptic. For this reason, it can be used as a natural deodorant by inhibiting the growth of the bacteria responsible for body odor. Use of mineral salts in such a fashion does not prevent perspiration. Its astringent / styptic properties are often employed after shaving and to reduce bleeding in minor cuts and abrasions.
