THE HISTORY OF ALUM
It is believed that the first recorded use of alum was in ancient China and Egypt for its odor reducing effects.
Approximately 100 A.C. is when the Roman historian Plinus documented the manufacturing of ALUMEN ROMANUM through the repeated dissolving of alum slates in water. The resulting large crystals were mainly used to relieve internal inflammations.
In the 8th century, the first standardized production of alum through multiple crystallization took place in what is believed to be Mesopotamia. These high quality crystals were called afumen de rocca.
In 1248 A. a large alum factory was built in Naples. There the production of a high grade crystal was used for medicinal purposes1 while an industrial grade alum was used for tanning leather and what is believed to b one of the first commercial producers of paper. In the 15th century, Bartholomew Perdix recorded the existence of an alum factory on the island of lschia.
Giovanni de Castro founded the famous alum factory of the Vatican in 1458. This gave the Pope the monopoly on alum which was enjoyed until the 16th century when a large number of alum factories existec in Germany.
In the 17th century, alum production began in England.
In 1777, French chemist A.L. LavoisiE gave the first correct chemical description of Kali-Alum, which is still produced in Europe and used primari for industrial purposes. With a long history and a variety of uses, ALUM has remained a vital part of industry and health care but we has perfected the production of an all natural crystal of potassium alum that is
100% effective, economical and safe to use on our bodies.
Doctors from revered medical facilities such as the MAYO CLINIC have recommended crystals for their patients with dermatitis and the
WALTER REED MEDICAL CENTER recommends THAI deodorant stone and mist for patients who are p0 operative cancer patients receiving radiation treatment. All are examples of 21st century medicine using af ancient, safe and pure form of protection. We now know that we have a lot to thank history for teaching us.
