interesting observation!! as a physician, i hear a lot of "home remedies". i called one of my pharmacology/chemical experts to see if he could think of any reason why your observation "might be"!! i had no clue, neither did my other resources. other than some astringent effect, can't come up with anything. i cross referenced the components with my computer medical info, and no luck there either. some of the components act kind of like bleach, but other than that, couldn't come up with much. but interesting observation!!! mark
