Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 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.
