Alkalol Personal Treatment

[Guest guest]

Alkalol works well for mouth, ears, scalp & skin. After posting about

it last week as a nasal wash, I nosed around their website

http://www.alkalolcompany.com/faq.html

& found their recommendations for treating mouth sores, ears & insect

bites. The natural ingredients - including eucalyptol, thymol,

menthol, camphor, and oils of wintergreen, spearmint, pine and

cinnamon - really knock the mites off guard. I'm using it full

strength, but it can be diluted up to half with water.

They hate it - I love it!

I clean out my eyes with an eye cup (not Alkalol) and then wash my

face, including my eyelids, with a glycolic (fruit acids) cleanser

with salicylic acid & let it stay on while I use the Alkalol nose

pot. After rinsing the soap off & patting dry with paper towels, I

pour the Alkalol from the bottle into the palm of my hand & press it

on all over face, eyelids & neck. Just let it air dry.

It doesn't sting or dry out the skin - very soothing. Smells faintly

minty - not medicinal. Leaves a slightly shiny film that has a fairly

long residual effect - works overnight for me & for hours at a time

during the day.

Put some in a dropper bottle & use in ears. Rubbed on lips removes

the " chapped " scum & keeps it from forming again.

Put some in a small spray bottle & saturated the scalp. Kept in the

fridge to use any time the crawlies start up. Stops them cold!

I find the cold is a double punch to the mites.

Eyewash used cold gets them out quicker & also hurts me less with the

numbing effect.

Using also on what remains of crusted sores on my knees & ankles. I'd

used herbal poultices to remove most of the scabs. Now just the

Alkalol is keeping them clean & accelerating healing.

I wouldn't have found these additional uses for Alkalol if I hadn't

answered a question about what I was using for my nose.

Another example of how by helping others we help ourselves.
