Maekbanseok Ball
Alumite is Commonly called Maekbanseok, which is a rock that belongs to quartz porphyry among igneous rocks, Its principal ingredients are silicon dioxide (SiO2) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and as an ore containing in large quantities over 40 kinds of minerals besides germanium, sodium, silicon, selenium, zinc and manganese it is featured in that it contains ferric oxide critical to the human body. Also as a multi-layer porous ore hawing 30, 000-150,000 pores per 1cm³ it has excellent adsorption, decomposition and ion exchange functions due to the large Specific surface area, and as a biostone with strong adsorption, decomposition and ion exchange functions and a high emission rate of far infra-red rays, it is a material useful for excellent detoxification and growth promotion.

In Dongeuybogam it is recorded that if you rub Maekbanseok on the belly or with holding it with handsafter baking it ower a fire, five viscera and 6 bowels become comfortable, and as it is recorded in Bonchogangmok (a Chinese medicine book published in 1596) that it was used as an antiphlogistic agent for various kinds of skin diseases like abscesses in the back and gatherings, it is a mineral material that provides vital power to the human body and has effects on metabolism and skin health by elution of minerals. And in reactions with Water it has a function to adjust acidity or strong alkalinity into weak alkalinity, restrains oxidizing power by activation of water quality and increases reducing power.
Major functions of Maekbanseok
- Elution of minerals
- Increase in abundance of dissolved oxygen
- Adsorption and removal of harmful substances and heavy metals
- Water quality control and water purification
- Far infra-red ray emission and antimicrobial, deodorizing functions
