alum
aluminum sulfate Also called storksbill or wild geranium. This has been worn in Egypt as a protective amulet against evil. On the north coast of Africa, alum is also used for this purpose. A piece of alum is placed in the home to guard it. Small amounts of this mineral are sewn into or placed in children's hats to protect them as well. The Blackfeet Indians steeped alum in water for an eyewash and pounded up the root and applied it wet to sores and swellings. It is a very powerful astringent and is mixed with herbs, such as yarrow and plantain, as a douche, or mixed with sage to heal canker sores. It is used in medicine, deodorants and as a mordant in dying. Boiled in water and mixed with sugar and milk, it is easily administered to children as an astringent without bitterness or bad taste. sold per ounce.
