What is Umckaloabo? 


Umckaloabo is native to South Africa and has a long history of being used for healing infections and respiratory issues.

Nowadays, it’s often used to treat the common cold – it’s actually the only herb scientifically tested to do so. Next time you have the sniffles, try incorporating this herbal remedy instead. We’re here for all the natural alternatives!  



Umckaloabo Benefits 


Why is Umckaloabo in Pit Liquor you may ask? Well, since its most proven benefit is its impressive antibacterial properties, this powerhouse ingredient does its part by ridding the bad bacteria from your pits by literally preventing bacteria from replicating, which helps to quench your stench.


Umckaloabo has immune fighting super powers, and awesome anti-microbial qualities when applied to the skin. The oils and antioxidants within the plant promote a healthy glow, and don’t we all want glowing pits? 


If you read our most recent blog, Do You Have Sensitive Pits, Pit Liquor is Your Solution you’d be happy to know that Umckaloabo aids in taming irritated skin.
