Fitkari, also called alum, is a natural way to stop body odour. It has antibacterial and antiseptic properties. To use, wet a small piece of fitkari and rub it gently on your underarms after bathing. This keeps sweat smell away for hours without chemicals. You can also dissolve fitkari in water to make a natural body spray. It is safe for daily use and gentle on the skin. Many people in India prefer fitkari as a chemical-free alternative to perfumes and deodorants. It also helps with minor cuts and skin infections. Fitkari is cheap and easy to use, making it popular during hot weather when sweating is common. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 18:44 IST; source: link)
