Fitkari (alum) has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, astringent, and antifungal properties, making it a traditional remedy for tooth pain, gum issues, and oral hygiene.
Benefits of Fitkari for Oral Health
Pain Relief: Alum helps reduce tooth sensitivity and discomfort from pain due to its astringency and anti-inflammatory action.
Gum Care: It tightens the gums, reduces swelling and bleeding, and may help prevent or treat gum disease.
Antibacterial & Antifungal: Fitkari's antimicrobial action helps control oral bacteria and fungi, lowering infection and bad breath.
Healing: Used in mouth rinses or as a gentle gum massage, it can aid healing of mouth ulcers and minor oral cuts.
How to Use Fitkari
Dissolve a small piece or pinch of powdered alum in a glass of warm water.
Swish this solution around the mouth for 30 seconds, then spit out.
Alternatively, a very small amount of powdered alum can be carefully massaged onto gums briefly, but direct application to teeth should be avoided due to risk of irritation.
Use only occasionally; prolonged or excessive use is not recommended.
Safety and Risks
Short-term use is generally safe, but high concentrations or frequent use can cause mouth dryness, tissue irritation, or enamel erosion.
If tooth pain persists, or if there's severe swelling, bleeding, or infection, consult a dentist—fitkari is not a substitute for professional care.
Fitkari can be a helpful natural remedy for mild, temporary dental discomfort and to promote gum health, but use cautiously and never as a replacement for expert dental treatment.
