The efficacy and function of alum pillow

Speaking of alum, you may have heard of it. Many businesses may add alum to water to absorb impurities in the water, or put it in food as a food additive. Alum is very effective, but alum is actually a little toxic and is not suitable for water purification or as a food additive. However, it is okay to make alum pillows. Alum pillows have many uses. Let's learn about them together.

The efficacy and function of alum pillow

1. Keep the pillow dry

When we use pillows, we tend to sweat and produce bacteria. Alum is waterproof. When making pillows, adding a little alum can keep the pillow dry, which is not conducive to the growth of bacteria and is healthier for the human body. Therefore, it is healthier to use alum pillows in daily life.

2. It can kill bacteria and relieve itching

Alum can kill bacteria and relieve itching. We sleep with pillows every night, and usually only wash the pillowcases, and rarely change pillows. In fact, long-term use of pillows will breed a lot of bacteria in the pillows, which is seriously harmful to health. Using alum pillows can help kill bacteria growing on pillows.

3. It can clear away heat and detoxify

Another effect of alum is that it can clear away heat and detoxify. Adding alum to the pillow can not only keep the pillow dry and kill the bacteria remaining in the pillow, but also achieve the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. Especially in the hot summer, due to the change of environment, people will become easily angry. Using an alum pillow can help clear away heat and detoxify.

4. It can treat high blood pressure

The function of alum pillow is to assist in the treatment of hypertension and effectively control blood pressure. Put white chrysanthemum, Chuanxiong, Cortex Moutan and other Chinese medicinal materials and alum into a cloth bag to make a pillow. Sleeping with alum pillow every night can make the acupuncture points on the head fully exposed to the medicinal effect. Generally, it will take about half a year to see the effect.
