Original taken from koparev to Sol

This story was found in an old newspaper. It is about the amazing healing properties of salt, which was used during the Second World War to treat wounded soldiers.

During the Great Patriotic War, I worked as a senior operating nurse in field hospitals with surgeon I.I. Shcheglov. Unlike other doctors, he successfully used a hypertonic saline solution in the treatment of the wounded.

On the vast surface of the contaminated wound, he applied a loose, abundantly moistened with saline large napkin.

After 3-4 days, the wound became clean, pink, the temperature, if it was high, dropped almost to normal levels, after which a plaster cast was applied. After another 3-4 days, the wounded were sent to the rear. The hypertonic solution worked perfectly - we had almost no mortality.

About 10 years after the war, I used the Shcheglov method for the treatment of my own teeth, as well as caries complicated by granuloma. Luck came within two weeks. After that, I began to study the effect of saline solution on diseases such as cholecystitis, nephritis, chronic appendicitis, rheumatic heart disease, inflammatory processes in the lungs, articular rheumatism, osteomyelitis, abscesses after injection, and so on.

In principle, these were isolated cases, but each time I got positive results pretty quickly. Later, I worked in a polyclinic and could tell about a number of rather difficult cases where a saline dressing turned out to be more effective than all other drugs. We managed to cure hematomas, bursitis, chronic appendicitis.

The fact is that the saline solution has absorbent properties and draws fluid from the tissue with pathogenic flora. Once, during a business trip to the region, I stopped at an apartment. The children of the hostess were ill with whooping cough. They coughed incessantly and painfully. I put salt bandages on their backs at night. After an hour and a half, the cough stopped and did not appear until the morning. After four dressings, the disease disappeared without a trace.

At the clinic in question, the surgeon suggested that I try saline in the treatment of tumors. The first such patient was a woman with a cancerous mole on her face. She drew attention to this mole six months ago. During this time, the mole turned purple, increased in volume, a gray-brown liquid stood out from it. I started making salt stickers for her. After the first sticker, the tumor turned pale and decreased.

After the second, she turned even more pale and, as it were, shrunk. The allocations have stopped. And after the fourth sticker, the mole acquired its original appearance. With the fifth sticker, the treatment ended without surgery.

Then there was a young girl with breast adenoma. She was due for an operation. I advised the patient to do saline dressings on her chest for several weeks before the operation. Guess you didn't need surgery.

Six months later, she also developed an adenoma on her second breast. Again, she was cured with hypertonic dressings without surgery. I met her nine years after the treatment. She felt well and did not even remember her illness.

I could have continued the stories of miraculous cures with hypertonic dressings. I could tell you about a teacher at one of the Kursk institutes who, after nine salt pads, got rid of prostate adenoma.

A woman suffering from leukemia, after putting on salt bandages at night - a blouse and trousers for three weeks, regained her health again.

The practice of using saline dressings.

1. Salt in an aqueous solution of not more than 10 percent - an active sorbent. It draws out all impurities from the diseased organ. But the therapeutic effect will be only if the bandage is breathable, that is, hygroscopic, which is determined by the quality of the material used for the bandage.

2. Salt dressing acts locally - only on a diseased organ or on a part of the body. As fluid is absorbed from the subcutaneous layer, tissue fluid from the deeper layers rises into it, carrying with it all the pathogens: microbes, viruses and organic substances.

Thus, during the action of the dressing in the tissues of the diseased organism, fluid is renewed, the pathogenic factor is cleansed, and, as a rule, the pathological process is eliminated.

3. Bandage with hypertonic saline solution acts gradually. The therapeutic result is achieved within 7-10 days, and sometimes more.

4. The use of sodium chloride solution requires a certain amount of caution. Let's say I would not advise using a bandage with a concentration solution of more than 10 percent. In some cases, even an 8% solution is better. (Any pharmacist will help you prepare the solution).

There will be a question for some: where do doctors look, if a bandage with a hypertonic solution is so effective, why is this method of treatment not widely used? Everything is very simple - doctors are in captivity of drug treatment. Pharmaceutical firms offer more and more new and more expensive drugs. Unfortunately, medicine is also a business. The trouble with hypertonic saline is that it is too simple and cheap. Meanwhile, life convinces me that such bandages are an excellent tool in the fight against many ailments.

Say, with a runny nose and headaches, I put a circular bandage on the forehead and back of the head at night. After an hour and a half, the runny nose disappears, and in the morning the headache also disappears. For any colds, I apply bandages at the first sign. And if, nevertheless, I missed the time and the infection managed to penetrate the pharynx and bronchi, then I simultaneously make a full bandage on the head and neck (from 3-4 layers of soft thin linen) and on the back (from 2 layers of wet and 2 layers of dry towels) usually on all night long. The cure is achieved after 4-5 procedures. Meanwhile, I continue to work.

A few years ago, a relative came to me. Her daughter suffered from acute attacks of cholecystitis. For a week, I applied a cotton towel bandage to her diseased liver. I folded it in 4 layers, moistened it in a saline solution and left it all night.

The bandage on the liver is applied within the boundaries: from the base of the left breast to the middle of the transverse line of the abdomen, and in width - from the sternum and the white line of the abdomen in front to the back of the spine. Bandaged tightly with one wide bandage, tighter - on the stomach. After 10 hours, the bandage is removed and a hot heating pad is applied to the same area for half an hour. This is done in order to expand the bile ducts as a result of deep heating for free passage of dehydrated and thickened bile mass into the intestine. A heating pad is a must in this case. As for the girl, many years have passed since that treatment, and she does not complain about her liver.

I do not want to give addresses, names, surnames. Believe it or not, a 4-layer cotton towel salt dressing applied to both breasts for 8-9 hours at night helped a woman get rid of breast cancer in two weeks. My friend with the help of saline tampons, applied directly to the cervix for 15 hours, coped with cervical cancer. After 2 weeks of treatment, the tumor thinned 2-3 times, became softer, and its growth stopped. She has remained so to this day.

Salt solution can only be used in a bandage, but in no case in a compress. The concentration of salt in the solution should not exceed 10%, but not fall below 8%.

Dressing with a solution of a higher concentration can lead to the destruction of capillaries in the tissues in the area of ​​application.

The choice of dressing material is very important. It must be hygroscopic. That is, we easily get wet and without any residue of fat, ointments, alcohol, iodine. They are also unacceptable on the skin on which the Bandage is applied.

It is best to use linen and cotton fabric (towel) that has been used many times and washed more than once. Ultimately, you can use gauze. The latter develops in 8 layers. Any other of the specified materials - in 4 layers.

When applying a bandage, the solution should be hot enough. Wring out the dressing material should be moderate, so that it is not too dry and not too wet. Do not put anything on the bandage.

Bandage it with a bandage or attach it with adhesive tape - that's all.

With various pulmonary processes (excluded in case of bleeding from the lungs), it is better to apply a bandage on the back, but at the same time it is necessary to know exactly the localization of the process. Bandage the chest tightly enough, but do not squeeze the breath.

Bandage the stomach as tight as possible, because during the night it is released, the bandage becomes loose and ceases to act. In the morning, after removing the bandage, the material should be rinsed well in warm water.

In order for the bandage to fit better to the back, I put a roller on the spine between the shoulder blades on its wet layers and bandage it along with the bandage.

How to prepare a 10% saline solution.

1. Take 1 liter of boiled, snow or rain or distilled warm water.

2. Put in 1 liter of water 90 g of table salt (that is, 3 tablespoons without top). Mix thoroughly. A 9% saline solution was obtained.

3. Take 8 layers of cotton gauze, pour out part of the solution and hold 8 layers of gauze in it for 1 minute. Squeeze lightly to keep it from dripping.

4. Put 8 layers of gauze on the sore spot. Be sure to put a piece of pure lamb wool on top. Do this before bed.

5. Bandage everything with a cotton cloth or bandage, without using polyethylene pads. Keep until the morning. Remove everything in the morning. And repeat the next night.

This amazingly simple recipe cures many diseases, draws toxins from the spine to the skin, and kills all infections.
It treats: internal hemorrhages, severe internal and external bruises, internal tumors, gangrene, sprains, inflammation of the articular bags and other inflammatory processes in the body.

Several of my friends and family have saved themselves by using this recipe.
- internal hemorrhage
- from a severe bruise on the lungs
- from inflammatory processes in the knee joint bag
- from blood poisoning,
- from death due to hemorrhage in the leg with a deep stab wound.
- from catarrhal inflammation of the cervical muscles ...

And I want the nurse who sent this recipe to the newspaper, and the professor who treated the soldiers at the front in this way, for a long, long time. Low bow to them.

And I want this recipe to be used by many, many who are in dire need in our difficult time, when expensive medical services are beyond the power of pensioners. I'm sure the recipe will help. And after that, they will also pray for the health of this nurse and professor.

Preparation of solutions. A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. The concentration of a solution is expressed in different ways:

in weight percent, i.e. by the number of grams of the substance contained in 100 g of the solution;

in volume percent, i.e. by the number of volume units (ml) of the substance in 100 ml of solution;

molarity, i.e. the number of gram-moles of a substance in 1 liter of solution (molar solutions);

normality, i.e. the number of gram equivalents of a solute in 1 liter of solution.

Solutions of percentage concentration. Percentage solutions are prepared as approximate, while the sample of the substance is weighed on technochemical scales, and the volumes are measured with measuring cylinders.

Several methods are used to prepare percentage solutions.

Example. It is necessary to prepare 1 kg of a 15% sodium chloride solution. How much salt is needed for this? The calculation is carried out according to the proportion:

Therefore, water for this must be taken 1000-150 \u003d 850 g.

In those cases when it is necessary to prepare 1 liter of a 15% sodium chloride solution, the required amount of salt is calculated in a different way. According to the reference book, the density of this solution is found and, multiplying it by a given volume, the mass of the required amount of solution is obtained: 1000-1.184 \u003d 1184 g.

Then follows:

Therefore, the required amount of sodium chloride is different for the preparation of 1 kg and 1 liter of solution. In cases where solutions are prepared from reagents containing crystallization water, it should be taken into account when calculating the required amount of the reagent.

Example. It is necessary to prepare 1000 ml of a 5% solution of Na2CO3 with a density of 1.050 from a salt containing water of crystallization (Na2CO3-10H2O)

The molecular weight (weight) of Na2CO3 is 106 g, the molecular weight (weight) of Na2CO3-10H2O is 286 g, from here the required amount of Na2CO3-10H2O is calculated to prepare a 5% solution:

Solutions are prepared by dilution method as follows.

Example. It is necessary to prepare 1 l of a 10% HCl solution from an acid solution with a relative density of 1.185 (37.3%). The relative density of a 10% solution is 1.047 (according to the reference table), therefore, the mass (weight) of 1 liter of such a solution is 1000X1.047 \u003d 1047 g. This amount of solution should contain pure hydrogen chloride

To determine how much 37.3% acid needs to be taken, we make up the proportion:

When preparing solutions by diluting or mixing two solutions, the diagonal scheme method or the "rule of the cross" is used to simplify calculations. At the intersection of two lines, the given concentration is written, and at both ends on the left is the concentration of the initial solutions, for the solvent it is equal to zero.

Salt is necessary for normal human life, but it is very important to strike a balance in its use. Lack of salt, as well as its excess, harms the body. Lack of salt causes headaches, weakness, nausea, excess harms some internal organs. In addition to food use, salt is used to treat many diseases, and saline solutions are used as rinses, washes and used as dressings depending on the disease.

It is difficult to imagine our life without salt. It is always present in our homes in sufficient quantities. We do not think about its significance, and once there were wars because of it!

Healing properties of salt

The therapeutic effect of salt lies in its ability to “suck out” the liquid from the tissues, from which microbes, bacteria, viruses, toxins, and pus come out. Thus, the pathogenic factor is gradually destroyed and the inflammatory process is eliminated.

Treatment with salt, saline, or dressings is done at home for one to three weeks.

What diseases can be treated with salt treatment

You can use saline dressings or saline solution for:

• colds;
• sinusitis, sinusitis;
• for healing wounds, suppuration, burns;
• joint diseases;
• mastopathy;
• diarrhea
• poisoning;
• toothache;
• dandruff;
• diseases of internal organs.

Salt solution preparation at home

For home treatment, it is necessary to properly prepare a saline solution (hypertonic solution).

Salt for the solution is used ordinary table or sea salt, it must be natural without additives. Do not use iodized salt or preservatives.

For medicinal purposes, a 9% saline solution is prepared (small deviations are allowed, for example, up to 8 or 10%). If the solution is of a lower concentration: it will not bring the desired effect, more - it can damage the capillaries. So the preparation of the correct saline solution must be approached with all seriousness.

What is a 9% saline solution? Dissolve 90 grams of salt (3 tablespoons without top) in 1 liter of water. This will be a 9% saline solution. It is difficult to calculate the proportion for a smaller volume more accurately. If you don't need all of the solution, use the rest next time. Store the saline solution in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours.

Water for the solution is better to take purified (filtered). But if it doesn’t happen at the right time, use ordinary tap water.

At home, preparing a saline solution is very simple: pour a liter of water into a saucepan, add 3 tablespoons (without top) of salt to it, stir and put on fire. Bring to a boil and turn off the heat.

For dressings, use a warm solution. If using a pre-prepared solution, warm it up. But not in the microwave!

How to make a salt bandage

1. Fold four layers of thin cotton fabric or eight layers of gauze.
2. Dip the prepared tissue into the hot saline solution for one minute. The tissue must be completely immersed in the solution. Then slightly wring out the fabric and apply a bandage to the sore spot. There should not be any ointments and creams at the application site! A dry cloth can be applied on top, the bandage is fixed with a plaster or bandaged.

Do not apply any cellophane, the salt bandage must breathe - this is not a compress!

1. The bandage is applied in the evening before going to bed, removed in the morning.
2. The fabric should fit snugly to the treatment site.
3. In the treatment of wounds, the procedures are repeated until healing.
4. In the treatment of inflamed joints, diseases of the internal organs, salt dressings are made daily for 9 days, after a week-long break, the course is repeated, then again a week-long break and treatment is carried out for another 9 days.
5. Treatment with saline dressings does not replace medical treatment, but complements it.

Application of saline dressings

Salt treatment with bandages is used with headaches, the first signs of acute respiratory infections or flu . In these cases, a bandage is applied around the head.

For sore throat, bronchitis, tracheitis make a salt bandage on the neck and back.

In case of poisoning put tissue on the abdomen.

Salt dressings are used in complex treatment with medication diseases of the spine, sprains, burns, liver diseases .

In the treatment of liver diseases a bandage is applied from the right chest to the middle of the abdomen and to the spine (wrap) for 10 hours. Then it is removed and a heating pad is applied to the epigastric region to expand the bile ducts so that the bile mass can freely pass into the intestine. If you do not use a heating pad, blockage of the bile ducts may occur.

Salt solution can , abscesses, articular rheumatism, osteomyelitis . The saline solution, which has absorbent properties, absorbs fluid from tissues, but does not harm red blood cells, white blood cells, and living tissue cells.

When coughing you can also use saline dressings. In this case, they are fixed on the back. Usually, after four or five procedures, the cough disappears.

For sinusitis or severe runny nose a water-salt bandage is fixed so that the fabric covers the forehead, nose and most of the cheeks. It will be difficult to do this with one piece of fabric - use 2 and fasten carefully so that they do not fly off during sleep.

For toothache make a small lotion and apply it on the gum near the diseased tooth. The use of saline lotion will relieve toothache, but it is necessary to heal caries after that.

For the treatment of osteochondrosis , such as lumbar or cervical, a bandage soaked in 10 percent saline solution is applied to the sore spot for at least 2 weeks before going to bed at night and carefully secured. According to numerous reviews, this method of salt treatment brings tangible relief after the first course of use.

A few more popular recipes

Salt shirt

In addition to the use of salt dressings, it is possible to treat with a salt shirt.

This method is good because it covers most of the body, does not bring discomfort during application.

Salt shirt is good to use for diseases of the joints (shoulder), and back.

Take a light, soft nightgown or T-shirt (made from natural fabrics), soak it in a 9% salt solution for 15 minutes. Wring out and dry. Put on a dry shirt at night. Repeat this for three nights. Then rinse the shirt and soak again in the saline solution. Sleep in it for three nights. Then rinse again and soak. Sleep in it for three more nights. Then take a week break and repeat the course again. If necessary, a third course of treatment with salt can be carried out.

Treatment of joints with salt and snow

In alternative treatment, there is a recipe that relieves joint pain and swelling, it is especially good for. To do this, you need 1 part of table or sea salt and 2 parts of ordinary snow (it is easier to measure with glasses). Quickly mix the ingredients, apply a thick layer on the sore or swollen joint and hold for 5 minutes. Then wipe dry and then do not wet this place for 8-10 hours. Best done before bed. It helps quickly, but with advanced pain, it is recommended to carry out procedures every other day for 10 days.

How to treat a runny nose with nasal lavage

With a prolonged runny nose, it is recommended to rinse the nose with saline at home. Of course, the solution should not be so concentrated: for adults - 1.5 teaspoons of salt per glass of warm water, for children 1 teaspoon per glass will be enough. Before washing, free your nose from snot, draw saline solution into a large syringe without a needle and irrigate each nostril with a gentle stream, spending half a glass on it. This method is easiest to use for children.

For adults, salt water can be poured into the nostril directly from a small teapot, after tilting the head to the side over the sink. Thus, the solution, getting into the "upper" nostril, pours out from the "lower". This is the most effective nasal wash that can be done three times a day at home. It allows you to effectively fight viruses and puffiness and quickly brings significant relief to the patient.

Baths for heels

For pain in the heels and for the treatment of heel spurs, baths with the addition of sea salt are very helpful.

Before going to bed, soak your feet for 15-20 minutes in a warm 8-10% water-salt solution, then pat them dry, lubricate your heels with an anti-inflammatory ointment, and put on your socks.

Carry out the procedure within five days. If necessary, repeat the course in a week. Usually two courses are enough.

Contraindications

• high pressure;
• migraine;
• heart diseases;
• kidney diseases.

Let's talk about saline dressing treatment. Before starting such treatment, be sure to carefully read and adhere to the following recommendations during the treatment process:

• bandage is best applied to cleanly washed skin
• the material for the dressing should be clean and wet (it is better if it is gauze, linen or cotton fabric)
• fold gauze in 6-8 layers, and cotton fabric in 4 layers (no more)
• do not cover the bandage from above with anything! She must "breathe"
• the concentration of salt in the solution in all cases should not exceed 10% for adults (2 teaspoons per 200 ml of water) and 8% for children (2 teaspoons per 250 ml)
• take hot water 60-70 C, while you prepare the bandage, it will cool down
• keep the pad for 12 hours, then rinse in fresh water and rinse the bandage in fresh water for the next compress

For headaches, the first signs of flu, acute respiratory infections and high blood pressure, make a bandage around your head.

In case of poisoning, put a bandage on the stomach.

If the throat is sore or the infection is already in the lungs or bronchi, then apply bandages to the neck and back.

In addition, there are many positive examples of the treatment of serious diseases with salt dressings. They can be a good assistant to the main treatment that your doctor has prescribed. These are tumor formations of various etiologies, bruises, sprains, burns; stones in the kidneys and gallbladder (dissolves), restores the work of the hematopoietic organs, eliminating concomitant diseases, helps to restore the spine in various diseases.

Salt dressings will also help in the complex treatment of liver diseases. Apply a bandage from the right chest to the middle of the abdomen in front and to the back of the spine (you can call it a wrap). After 10 hours, remove the bandage and apply a heating pad to the epigastric region for half an hour - this is necessary so that the bile ducts expand and the dehydrated, thickened bile mass can freely pass into the intestines. Be sure to put a heating pad to avoid blockage of the bile ducts. self

The main rule - do not increase the concentration of saline under any circumstances!

Remember! If you have problems with the cardiovascular system, then bandages should be done no more than every other day.

Just do not think that salt therapy is reduced only to compresses! There are many other ways to heal and improve your health with the help of salt.

We'll talk about them next time. See you on my blog pages.

During the Second World War, surgeon Ivan Ivanovich Shcheglov widely used hypertonic (saturated) saline solution for bone and joint damage.

On extensive and dirty wounds, he applied a loose, abundantly moistened with hypertonic solution large napkin.

After 3-4 days, the wound became clean and pink, the temperature dropped to normal, after which a plaster cast was applied. Then the wounded went to the rear.
According to Shcheglov's method, it is even possible to treat caries complicated by granuloma with saline swabs.

Let's look at the effect of hypertonic solution on closed pathological processes in the body, such as cholecystitis, nephritis, chronic appendicitis, rheumatic heart disease, post-influenza inflammatory processes in the lungs, articular rheumatism, osteomyelitis, abscess after injections, etc.

Back in 1964, in a polyclinic under the supervision of an experienced surgeon who made a diagnosis and selected patients, chronic appendicitis was cured in 2 patients with saline dressings in 6 days, a shoulder abscess was cured in 9 days without opening, bursitis of the knee joint was eliminated in 5-6 days , not amenable to any means of conservative treatment.

These facts indicate that the saline solution, having absorbent properties, absorbs only liquid from tissues and spares erythrocytes, leukocytes and living cells of the tissues themselves.

A hypertonic saline solution is a sorbent, I once tried it on myself with a 2-3 degree burn. Desperate to relieve the pain with pharmaceuticals, she put a salt bandage on the burn. A minute later, the acute pain disappeared, only a slight burning sensation remained, and after 10-15 minutes I fell asleep peacefully. In the morning there was no pain, and after a few days the burn healed like a normal wound.

Once I stopped at an apartment where children were ill with whooping cough. In order to save the children from suffering, incessant and debilitating cough, I put salt bandages on their backs. After an hour and a half, the cough subsided and did not resume until the morning. After four dressings, the disease disappeared without a trace.

A five-and-a-half-year-old child was poisoned at dinner with poor-quality food. Medicines didn't help. Around noon, I put a saline bandage on his stomach. After an hour and a half, nausea and diarrhea stopped, pain gradually decreased, and after five hours all signs of poisoning disappeared.

Convinced of the positive effect of salt dressings on common pathological processes, I decided to use their healing properties for the treatment of tumors. The polyclinic surgeon offered me to work with a patient who had a cancerous mole on her face.

The methods used in such cases by official medicine did not help the woman - after six months of treatment, the mole turned purple and increased in volume. I started using salt stickers. After the first sticker, the tumor turned pale and decreased, after the second, the result improved even more, and after the fourth sticker, the mole acquired its natural color and appearance, which it had before rebirth. The fifth sticker treatment ended without surgery.

In 1966, a student came to me with an adenoma of the breast. The doctor who diagnosed her recommended surgery. I advised the patient to apply saline dressings to the chest for several days before the operation. Bandages helped - no surgery was required.

After 9 years, I called my patient. She replied that she had successfully graduated from the university, she felt well, there were no relapses of the disease, and only small lumps on her chest remained as a memory of the adenoma. I think these are purified cells of former tumors, harmless to the body.

At the end of 1969, another woman, a museum researcher, came to me with cancerous tumors of both breasts. Her diagnosis and referral for surgery were signed by a professor of medicine. Salt helped again - the tumor resolved without surgery. True, this woman also had seals at the site of the tumors.

At the end of the same year, I gained experience in the treatment of prostate adenoma. In the regional hospital, the patient was strongly recommended surgery. But he decided to try the salt pads first. After nine procedures, the patient recovered. He is healthy now.

For 3 years, the woman suffered from leukemia - her hemoglobin content in her blood dropped catastrophically. Every 19 days the patient received a blood transfusion, which somehow supported her.

Having found out that before the illness the patient had worked for many years in a shoe factory with chemical dyes, I also understood the cause of the disease - poisoning, followed by a violation of the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow. And I recommended salt bandages to her, alternating "blouse" bandages and "pants" bandages at night for three weeks.

The woman took the advice, and by the end of the treatment cycle, the hemoglobin content in the patient's blood began to grow. Three months later I met my patient, she was completely healthy.

Summarizing the results of my 25 years of observations on the use of hypertonic saline solution for medicinal purposes, I came to the following conclusions.

1. 10% common salt solution - active sorbent. Salt interacts with water not only through direct contact, but also through air, material, body tissues. Taken inside the body, salt absorbs and retains fluid in cavities, cells, localizing it in its location. Applied externally (salt dressings), salt establishes contact with tissue fluid and, sucking, absorbs it through the skin and mucous membranes.

The amount of liquid absorbed by the bandage is directly proportional to the volume of air displaced from the bandage. Therefore, the effect of a salt dressing depends on how breathable (hygroscopic) it is, which, in turn, depends on the material used for the dressing, its thickness.

2. Salt bandage acts locally: only on the diseased organ, the affected area, penetrating into the depths. As fluid is absorbed from the subcutaneous layer, tissue fluid from deeper layers rises into it, dragging along the pathogenic principle: microbes, viruses, inorganic substances, poisons, etc.

Thus, during the action of the bandage, fluid is renewed in the tissues of the diseased organ and their disinfection is cleansed of the pathogenic factor, and hence the elimination of the pathological process. At the same time, tissues act as a kind of filter that passes through itself microorganisms and particles of a substance that have a volume less than the lumen of the interstitial pore.

3. A bandage with a hypertonic saline solution is permanent. The therapeutic result is achieved within 7-10 days. In some cases, a longer period is required.

How to Apply a Salt Bandage
For colds and headaches. Make a circular bandage at night through the forehead and back of the head. After an hour or two, the runny nose disappears, and by morning the headache will also disappear.

The bandage on the head is good for high blood pressure, tumors, dropsy. But with atherosclerosis, it is better not to do a bandage - it dehydrates the head even more. For a circular bandage, only 8% saline can be used.

With the flu. Put a bandage on your head at the first sign of illness. If the infection has managed to penetrate into the pharynx and bronchi, make bandages on the head and neck at the same time (from 3-4 layers of soft thin linen), on the back from two layers of wet and two layers of dry towels. Leave the bandages on all night.

In diseases of the liver (inflammation of the gallbladder, cholecystitis, cirrhosis of the liver). A bandage on the liver (a cotton towel folded in four layers) is applied as follows: in height - from the base of the left breast to the middle of the transverse line of the abdomen, in width - from the sternum and the white line of the abdomen in front to the back of the spine.

It is tightly bandaged with one wide bandage, tighter on the stomach. After 10 hours, remove the bandage and put a hot heating pad on the epigastric region for half an hour, in order to expand the bile duct through deep heating for free passage of dehydrated and thickened bile mass into the intestine. Without heating, this mass (after several dressings) clogs the bile duct and can cause acute bursting pain.

With adenomas, mastopathy and breast cancer. A four-layer, dense, but non-compressive saline dressing is usually used on both mammary glands. Apply at night and keep for 8-10 hours. The duration of treatment is 2 weeks, with cancer 3 weeks. In some people, a bandage on the chest can weaken the rhythms of cardiac activity, in this case, apply a bandage every other day.

Conditions for using saline solution

1. Saline solution can only be used in a bandage, but in no case in a compress, because the bandage must be breathable.

2. The concentration of salt in the solution should not exceed 10%. A bandage from a solution of a higher concentration causes pain in the area of ​​application and the destruction of capillaries in the tissues. An 8% solution - 2 teaspoons of table salt per 250 ml of water - is used in dressings for children, a 10% solution for adults - 2 teaspoons of table salt per 200 ml of water. Water can be taken ordinary, optionally distilled.

3. Before treatment, wash the body with warm water and soap, and after the procedure, wash off the salt from the body with a warm, damp towel.

4. The dressing material must be hygroscopic and clean, without residues of fat, ointment, alcohol, iodine. The skin of the body must also be clean. For a bandage, it is better to use linen or cotton fabric, but not new, but washed many times. The ideal option is gauze.

The salt dressing is made only from a hygroscopic, well-wetted cotton material - washed many times, not new, not kitchen and not starched, “waffle” towels in 3-4 layers and thin, also well-wetted, medical gauze in 8-10 layers, as well as hygroscopic, preferably viscose, cotton wool for tampons.

5. Linen, cotton material, towels are folded in no more than 4 layers, gauze - up to 8 layers. Only with an air-permeable bandage is suction of the tissue fluid.

6. Due to the circulation of solution and air, the bandage causes a feeling of coolness. Therefore, the bandage should be soaked with a hot hypertonic solution (60-70 degrees). Before applying the dressing can be slightly cooled by shaking in the air.

7. The bandage should be of medium moisture, not too dry, but not too wet. Keep the bandage on the sore spot for 10-15 hours.

8. Nothing can be put on top of the bandage. But in order to fix the bandage soaked in the solution, it is necessary to bandage it tightly enough to the body: with a wide bandage on the torso, abdomen, chest, and narrow - on the fingers, hands, feet, face, head.

Bandage the shoulder girdle with a figure eight, through the armpits from the back. In case of pulmonary processes (in case of bleeding, in no case should be applied!) The bandage is placed on the back, trying to get to the sore spot as accurately as possible. Bandage the chest should be tight, but without squeezing the breath.

P.S. The compress can also be used for cosmetic purposes - it removes "bags" under the eyes and cleanses the skin.

In medical practice, a 10% solution of table (rock and no other) salt is usually used = 100 g per 1 liter of water. For the treatment of the liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and for headbands, it is better to use an 8-9% solution = 80-90 g of salt per 1 liter of water). Salt for the solution must be taken strictly by weight, keep the container (jar) with the solution closed so that it does not evaporate and does not change its concentration.

Another source, the HLS Bulletin (Healthy Lifestyle No. 17, 2000), indicates that spring, artesian, sea water, especially water containing iodine salts, which neutralize sodium chloride in the solution, is not suitable for the preparation of a hypertonic solution.

A bandage with such a solution loses its healing, absorbent and bactericidal properties. Therefore, it is better to use distilled (from a pharmacy) water or, in extreme cases, purified rain or snow to prepare a saline solution.

/Here I disagree, although it is possible to use the above-mentioned water quality and give faster results, but time is never worth wasting. Use clean water, whatever you have. Salt itself has a cleansing effect, it consists of the elements of fire and water or fire and earth (black, Himalayan salt)

In this case, after removing the bandage that caused these sensations in the morning, put a hot rubber heating pad wrapped in a towel in two layers on the “substrate”, lie face down on it for 10-15 minutes (by this time, the liver is cleared of infection. and the heating pad is not dangerous for her), and putting it after removing each next dressing until the end of the course of treatment, regardless of whether discomfort reappears in the “substrate” or not, the heating pad expands the bile ducts, and bile flows freely into the intestines.

Polyps, tumors, including cancer, of this department, like others, are treated with a saline dressing for 3 weeks (one daily, the rest every other night).

Hypertonic saline solutions are not a panacea for all diseases. This short text lists some diseases, including those of the eye, that cannot be treated in this way. I repeat, the salt dressing effectively cures inflammatory processes, swelling of tissues, quickly relieves burn pain, treats some tumors (“wen” it does not heal, perhaps it does not treat some other tumors, which can only be established empirically).

Salt dressing is safe if the recommendations are strictly followed. Failure to comply with them can cause undesirable consequences in the body. For example, a dressing with a salt solution above 10% concentration, especially with prolonged treatment, can itself cause acute pain in the tissues, rupture of capillaries and some other complications.

Salt is an unnecessary food additive. Don't look for excuses to use it daily. There is none of them! This is a dangerous product that undermines health. Salt is white death. That's what nutritionists call it.

How to prepare a salt solution - why is it needed?

According to nutritionists, the daily dose of salt should not exceed 4 grams. Moreover, this includes salt, obtained from all prepared foods and liquids that we consume during the day. This includes drinking water, fruits, vegetables, bread, cereals, meat, etc. Therefore, nutritionists propose to completely abandon this “killer” supplement in favor of a salt-free diet. It should also be noted that most of the dishes that you cook without salt will only become tastier and more aromatic.

But if you still cannot completely stop using salt, we suggest you prepare a salt solution and add it directly to the plate. Thus, you are guaranteed to reduce your daily salt intake by several times. How to prepare a salt solution?

Preparing the saline solution

1. To prepare a salt solution, pour 2 tablespoons of salt into an enamel pan and pour 200 grams of hot distilled water over them. While stirring, bring to a low boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
2. Strain the prepared salt solution through a thick cotton cloth or a two-layer piece of gauze. The water has partially evaporated, so add boiling water to the previous liquid level of 200 grams. To prepare the salt solution, pour into a prepared bottle with a narrow neck for ease of use. Be sure to stopper the bottle so that the water does not evaporate and the salt concentration does not rise.
3. You have prepared a 25% salt solution, i.e. 25 grams of salt per 100 grams of water.
4. Now look at the cloth through which you filtered the saline solution. Like? All these impurities daily settled on the walls of the stomach, intestines, absorbed into the blood, destroyed the liver and accumulated in the kidneys and gallbladder. And now you know how to prepare a salt solution that is less damaging to health.
5. How much salt solution should be used? Enough 1 incomplete teaspoon (3 grams) of the solution per 200 grams of food.

How to prepare a salt solution of other concentrations?

1. 10% solution - 100 grams of salt per 1000 grams of distilled water. This solution is also called hypertonic. But salt in such a solution does not boil, but only dissolves.
2. A bandage impregnated with a hypertonic solution from a salt solution will relieve tissue swelling during sprains, fractures, and joint inflammation. A bandage around the head, impregnated with a 10% solution, blocks the development of acute respiratory viral infections, relieves headaches, and stops the runny nose that has begun.
3. Each of us is a part of planet Earth. Everything is arranged in such a way that everyone has everything for life. So why do we destroy the internal balance of our body by adding an unnecessary substance - sodium chloride?
