Treatment with gauze with saline solution. Salt treatment. Salt dressings

Salt dressings are used in the treatment of many diseases and their effectiveness has been proven in practice. They have been used for many years and have saved many people from various illnesses and surgeries. Unfortunately, salt dressings have supplanted modern remedies and methods of treatment, but this does not reduce the effectiveness of this remedy. This treatment method is safe, simple and can be used at home. When treating with saline dressings, you need to know how to prepare the saline solution for this procedure and correctly place the dressing.

How to prepare a solution

Salt solution requires sea or plain table salt without preservatives, iodine and other impurities. Additives in this case can harm, causing irritation. Water must be taken purified from impurities, distilled, filtered, boiled, rain, melt is suitable for this purpose.
The best concentration of salt in water is 8 to 10 percent. A smaller amount of salt is ineffective, and a larger amount can damage the capillaries and cause irritation of the skin.

For the solution, a liter of water and three tablespoons without the top of salt (90 grams) are taken. With a small amount, for example, with joint pain on the arm, 1 glass of water and 20 grams of salt are enough. The solution can be divided into 2 parts. You can use it in the following procedure, just preheating. The shelf life of saline solution is 1 day. Store in a tightly closed container.
Before use, the finished solution is heated on the stove to 50 - 60 degrees.

How to make a bandage

For a salt bandage, cotton, linen fabric is taken, folded in 4 layers or gauze in 8 layers. For saline swabs, ordinary cotton wool is taken. The salt bandage should be breathable. The folded fabric is lowered into the hot solution for 1 minute. After that, it is squeezed out a little (water should not drip) and applied to the sore spot. The skin should be clean and dry, without cream, ointment.

The skin should not have cuts, scratches, damage.

The bandage is fixed with a bandage or adhesive plaster, so that it fits quite tightly to the sore spot.

It is impossible to close the bandage with an airtight material, a film, a woolen scarf!

The bandage must be applied at night. If there are no contraindications, the bandage can remain on the sore spot for up to 12 hours. In the morning after removal, the sore spot is wiped with a cloth moistened with warm water and wiped dry.

Salt compress is applied to clean, dry skin

  • When applying a bandage to the abdomen, it is necessary fasten with a bandage very tightly. During the night, the volume of the abdomen will decrease and the bandage will become looser; if it is loose, it will hang out and will not be useful.
  • When applying a salt bandage on the back, a fabric roller is made, placed along the spine and fixed with a bandage. The roller allows the bandage to fit more snugly to the sore spot.
  • The shoulder girdle is bandaged with a figure eight, from the back, through the armpits.
  • The lower part of the chest is bandaged in a circle.
  • With leukemia, the bandage is applied to the entire body according to the principle of wrapping in a sheet.
  • If it is necessary to cleanse the body, a simple cotton shirt is used, which is wetted in a solution and worn at night.

Why salt helps - expert opinion

Salt dressing has an absorbent effect. Salt, in contact with skin with moisture, draws out viruses, microbes, pathogenic bacteria, toxins, poisons.
At the same time, body tissues are updated and cleansed. The effect of the bandage is made precisely on the diseased part, without affecting others.

Salt solution removes from the body everything that a weakened lymphatic system cannot remove. At the same time, the load on the system is reduced and the body copes with the disease more easily.
The effects of salt on the human body have been studied for more than 25 years, and today many doctors offer their patients this alternative treatment, along with standard drugs.

Treatment for sinusitis

Salt dressing is used in the treatment of sinusitis, runny nose and frontal sinusitis. With sinusitis, the bandage is applied to the cheeks, nose and bridge of the nose, capturing part of the forehead. Cotton swabs are placed on the wings of the nose. From above, the bandage is fixed with a bandage. This bandage is left overnight, removed in the morning. Treatment continues until complete recovery.

With rheumatism, bursitis, polyarthritis, arthritis, the bandage is placed on diseased joints. The bandage should grab the limb 15 centimeters above and 15 centimeters below the problem area. The bandage is put on overnight. The procedure should be repeated for 2 weeks.


Joint treatment

Muscle pain

With overwork, pain in the muscles, sprains, the bandage is applied to the problem area. For a general effect in overwork, you can additionally put a salt bandage on the lower back and neck. In the morning, even severe pain will decrease, and with a second procedure it goes away.


Lower back treatment

Angina

For any inflammatory processes in the throat (tonsillitis, tracheitis, laryngitis), the bandage is applied to the neck. With a headache, it is applied to the neck and head, and fixed with a general bandage. The procedure must be repeated at least 3 times. The bandage is applied to the throat in the evening, before going to bed, and removed in the morning. A towel is placed on top of the bandage. After the first procedure, relief is already felt.

Pneumonia, bronchitis

For bronchitis, a tissue bandage is applied to the chest. With pneumonia, the bandage is placed on the back, on the affected side. Then it is fixed so that it does not interfere with breathing, but it is dense, it is closed from above with a towel. For a tighter fit, a roller is placed on the spine. The duration of treatment is 5 days. For pulmonary bleeding, the bandage is not used.

Treatment of heart disease

The bandage is laid out on the left shoulder, capturing the heart area in front and behind. The ends of the bandage on the chest are fixed with a bandage. The procedure should be carried out every other day, 7 times.

With angina pectoris, heart valve disease, coronary heart disease, a salt bandage is contraindicated.

Thyroid

Salt dressing is used in the treatment of goiter (thyroid gland) in an acute form. This procedure improves the condition, but unfortunately does not completely cope with the disease.

Liver

In liver diseases, salt dressings alternate with hot heating pads. The bile ducts dilate and release stagnant bile into the intestines.

Intestines

In inflammatory processes in the intestines, the bandage is placed on the abdomen. The procedure is repeated for 7 days. In case of poisoning, a salt dressing helps for 1 time, in severe form it is repeated 4 times.

Headaches

Salt solution helps with headaches caused by inflammation, swelling of the brain or lining of the brain, dropsy, brain tumor. With sclerosis of cerebral vessels, this procedure is contraindicated. The bandage is applied according to the principle of a wide strip or cap. The top is secured with a bandage.

Mastopathy, breast cancer

Salt bandage is quite effective for mastopathy, breast cancer. Treatment lasts 2 - 3 weeks. This effective remedy is used for leukemia, radiation sickness, anemia, prostate adenoma, benign and malignant tumors on the skin, hematomas, burns. It can be used to cleanse the body of accumulated toxins, poisons.

Contraindications


Duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, intestinal volvulus, constipation, hernias, adhesions, scars, stones in the biliary tract, kidneys cannot be treated in this way, since this procedure in this case can be harmful.

Salt dressings are a unique medicine. According to the reviews of supporters of their use, they treat almost everything. Is it so? This therapeutic method was opened by the doctor I.I. Shcheglov, who during World War II treated damaged bones, joints, wounds with edible salt. And today salt therapy is used quite widely. Consider the features of the application in more detail.

Important facts from history

During World War II, with a lack of medicines, bandages, disinfectants, military surgeon I.I. Shcheglov saved wounded soldiers from sepsis, gangrene with bandages with hypertonic solution. He moistened folded linen, cotton cloth in the solution, applied it to the wound, changed it 2 times a day. After 4 days, there was a decrease in body temperature, cleansing of wounds, regeneration of muscle and skin tissue.

Nurse A.D. worked with Dr. Shcheglov. Gorbachev, who continued to study the healing properties of salt after the war. First she applied hypertonic saline compresses to patients undergoing surgery, then she began to study the effect of the solution on nephritis, pancreatitis, gallbladder diseases, rheumatic diseases, heart diseases, diseases of the respiratory tract, joints, osteomyelitis and many other health problems.

As a result of these studies, the Shcheglov-Gorbacheva method appeared. For therapeutic purposes, an 8-10% water-salt solution was used, which really can work wonders!

The history and modernity of the application of this therapeutic method was described by I.A. Filippov.

Features of therapeutic use

The main therapeutic component of salt is sodium chloride (NaCl). With its deficiency in the body, there is an imbalance of micro- and macroelements in organs and systems, drainage disorders and other disorders (diseases of the joints, blood vessels, etc.). Therefore, it is impossible to do without this substance.

Today, even experts in official medicine recommend using a saline solution to eliminate diseases of the joints, the musculoskeletal system, most internal organs, regenerate the body in the postoperative period or after a serious illness. The wide therapeutic possibilities of the product are explained by its ability to absorb harmful substances, heal wounds without damaging healthy cells and tissues.

Salt solution has expressive absorption properties. When applying a compress, NaCl molecules immediately react with the fluids of internal organs, joints, absorb harmful substances, toxins, and microbes. Tissue fluids are cleansed and regenerated.

The interaction occurs with the organ, the area of ​​which is in contact with the bandage. For example, when it comes to treating sciatica, NaCl affects the area of ​​the sciatic nerve.

Salt as a therapeutic agent is useful for the treatment of infections in injuries, burns, purulent processes (initially, Shcheglov's method was used mainly for these problems). Salt dressings can be made at home to treat respiratory problems. The main condition is the observance of the proportions of salt and water when preparing a saline solution for a dressing.

In recent years, NaCl has gained popularity in the treatment and prevention of cancer, vascular, joint diseases, disorders of the musculoskeletal system (gout, arthrosis).

Preparation and application of the solution

Now consider the recipe for how to make a 10% solution and use it for therapeutic purposes.

Cooking

In 900 ml of boiled or hot distilled water, stir 100 g of edible salt. Compliance with proportions is very important, with a higher concentration of active substances, instead of benefit, you can get harm in the form of a negative skin reaction.

Usage

Fold cotton gauze in 8 layers, soak in the solution. Press. Apply to a sore spot or on the projection of the disease. Fix with a clean dry handkerchief, gauze, scarf, towel - it is important that the compress does not move.

This surprisingly simple recipe is able to cope with many diseases by removing toxins and infectious agents from the body.

Important Factors

When conducting treatment, you must follow some rules.

  1. 1st important factor- What time to apply a bandage. The application is carried out at night, removed in the morning. If necessary, the procedure is repeated (also in the evening before bedtime).
  2. 2nd important factor- how long to keep the compress. It lasts 8-10 hours, no less and no more!

Note!
Some people are wondering if it is possible to make a compress at a temperature? Yes, you can. The creator of the method, I.I. Shcheglov, used it to treat inflammation, in most cases accompanied by an increase in body temperature. The procedure contributed not only to drawing pathogens out of the body, but also to lowering the temperature.


For headaches of various etiologies (with the exception of cerebral vascular sclerosis), the compress is applied in the form of a “cap” or a wide bandage on the head.

With posterior localization of pain, an application is made to the back of the head with a scarf fixed.

Sinusitis, sinusitis, runny nose

With sinusitis, sinusitis, runny nose, the bandage is applied to the face - on the frontal part, nose, cheeks, fixed with a gauze tape. The procedure is recommended to be carried out at night. The course of treatment continues until complete recovery. At the same time, it is advisable to rinse the nose with saline.

Cough in children, whooping cough

The use of saline compresses for the treatment of whooping cough and cough in a child is the method of A.D. Gorbacheva. They are superimposed on the back, at night. Relief is noticeable after a couple of hours, in some cases, the cough in children goes away the very next morning.

angina, cold

Salt dressings applied to the neck, back, head will save you from infectious, viral diseases, including sore throat, which causes sore throat, flu and colds. Put a warm towel over the compress and leave it overnight. Full recovery usually occurs within 5 days.

Thyroid disease

This is a symptomatic therapy that eliminates only the manifestation of thyroid diseases, but does not treat the cause. Apply the compress at night, repeat the procedure until the signs of the disease disappear.

Pneumonia

For the treatment of pneumonia, compresses are applied to the back, to the projection of the inflammatory process, fixed with a scarf, tightly, but not tight. Before starting therapy, you should undergo an examination to exclude internal bleeding!

gastrointestinal tract

In diseases of the intestines, pancreas (in particular, pancreatitis), a therapeutic compress is applied to the entire abdomen. The therapy lasts about a week, during which time the symptoms of the disease subside. Do not tighten the fixing scarf or handkerchief too tight - excessive compression can cause the stomach to pull after salt bandages.

Diseases of the joints and bones


To alleviate the manifestations of diseases of the joints (gout, arthrosis, etc.), the bandage is applied to the sore spot at night. In most cases, 2 weeks of therapy is sufficient.

The same treatment is carried out for dislocations, overstrain, sprains - for example, in case of damage to the knee joint, a salt bandage is applied to the knee.

Similarly, diseases and bone lesions are treated. Therapy is local, i.e. a salt dressing is applied to the area where the disease is present:

  • with pain in the bones - on the focus of pain;
  • in case of fractures - to the place of the fracture;
  • with cervical osteochondrosis - on the neck and back.

For legs

Leg bandages are used for various problems and diseases:

  • with varicose veins - superimposed on the area where there are bumps on the legs;
  • with thrombophlebitis - an application is carried out on the projection of inflammation and the presence of a thrombus (previously
  • should be examined for a blood clot);
  • with swelling of the legs - on the area from the knee to the ankle;
  • in case of leg injury - directly to the affected area;
  • with spurs - on the heel/s.

For skin

The healing properties of salt dressings include the effect on various skin diseases. They are applied to the affected area, fixed with gauze. Such treatment helps with psoriasis, dermatitis, most forms of eczema, acne on the body (it can also be treated on the face, but the application in this case is quite complicated, it is better to choose a different, more convenient method for the face).

This technique is also suitable for accelerating the healing of purulent wounds (with the exception of open wounds!).

Despite the fact that it is a treatment suitable for eliminating edema, the use of saline eye patches (for bruises, tumors, edema ...) is not advisable due to the difficulty in preventing the solution from entering the eyes. This is fraught not only with irritation, but also with serious complications.

Liver disease

The health benefits of using the "salty method" are possible in inflammatory liver diseases. The compress is applied to the lower back and abdomen, fixed with a scarf or handkerchief.
When treating the liver, it is necessary to alternate the use of salt and heating pads!

Hernia

With a vertebral hernia, the application is carried out similarly to the above case, but only on the spine.

Inflammation of the lymph nodes

The use of Shcheglov's technique for inflammation of the lymph nodes is a controversial issue. The opinions of specialists and doctors in this regard differ. However, the ability of salt to “pull” disease from the body is undeniable. However, before applying saline dressings to the lymph nodes, consult your doctor!

Hypertension

High blood pressure refers to the diseases of civilization. It can both be a consequence of certain diseases, and their cause. Salt dressings, along with following the rules of a healthy lifestyle, can significantly alleviate the condition of a person suffering from hypertension. They are applied to the forehead before going to bed. Course - 10 days.

In case of hypertension accompanied by other symptoms (headache, impaired renal function, etc.), the application is carried out additionally in accordance with the problem that has arisen.

Oncology

The application is carried out directly on the tumor or on its projection:

  • lung cancer - on the back in the lung area;
  • throat cancer - on the front of the neck, in the area of ​​tumor localization;
  • melanoma (malignant tumor of the skin) - directly on the focus of the disease.

For teeth

Caries, periodontal disease are common diseases that threaten the loss of teeth. Of course, using a bandage in the mouth will not work, so the treatment of these diseases is carried out by rinsing the mouth with a solution or rubbing it into the gums.

For women


The healing properties of salt are used in gynecology and in the treatment of a number of diseases characteristic of women.

  1. Mastopathy, cyst of the mammary glands - the application of the bandage is carried out on the chest (on both glands). The therapeutic course is about 2-3 weeks.
  2. Ovarian cyst - the bandage covers the pelvic region and lower abdomen, is applied in a circle - through the lower back, fixed with a towel.

For men

Prostate adenoma and other diseases of this organ are a big problem for middle-aged and older men. To treat these diseases, use a saline bandage on the groin area - it should cover the bladder.

What should you know?

Despite the positive effect on health in many diseases, saline dressings may not help. When is it not appropriate to use them? Therapeutic effects will not appear with the following problems:

  1. Pulmonary bleeding.
  2. Sclerosis of cerebral vessels.
  3. Diseases of the cardiovascular system.
  4. Peptic ulcer, digestive disorders, stool disorders.
  5. Gallstones and kidney stones.

The use of NaCl also has contraindications. Do not apply a useful substance to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe heart. Application on the head is possible after consultation with a doctor.

Diseases and disorders related to contraindications:

  1. Atherosclerosis.
  2. Renal and heart failure.
  3. Migraine, cluster headache.
  4. Diseases of the urinary tract.
  5. Metabolism disorder.

Advice for pregnant women and breastfeeding women: before treating with NaCl, consult your doctor!

Finally


An important factor in the effectiveness of treatment is the concentration of the solution. A concentration above 10% will lead to a supersaturation of cells with sodium and chlorine, therefore, to a violation of the salt balance. At a solution concentration of less than 10%, it will not have the desired therapeutic effect (although it will not bring harm).

With a lack of salt (sodium chloride) in the body, a person feels a deterioration in health: the balance of microelements is disturbed, dehydration occurs. Therefore, many diseases can be treated with salt and saline solutions.

Why salt heals

A solution of salt of a certain concentration (no more than 10%)? strong absorbent. When applying a bandage, penetrating through the pores of the skin, it reacts with the interstitial fluid and removes excess water with dissolved toxins.

A solution of the above concentration does not damage the epidermis, blood cells. And a properly made bandage of salt has a beneficial effect on the painful area and on the whole body:


Salt Solution Formulation

To prepare the solution, you need to take water free from impurities (rain, distilled or boiled from the tap) and sea or table salt without impurities.

The concentration of salt should be from 8 to 10%, ideal - 9% is considered, as in a human tear. A solution of a lower concentration will not give an effect, and a concentrated one will damage the capillaries.

To make a 9% solution, you need to dissolve sodium chloride (90 g or 3 tablespoons) in water (1 liter). It is undesirable to prepare less solution, the concentration comes out more accurately when preparing a larger amount. Sodium chloride dissolves in cold or hot water. For dressings, a hot solution is used, but not burning.

One part of the liquid can be used immediately, and the second, warming up next time. In an airtight container, it is stored for no more than a day. If you have not used the liquid during this period, pour it out and prepare another one.

How to apply a salt compress

Wellness procedures will become effective and will not bring harm if the following conditions are met:


The use of dressings from salt in diseases

Dressings with saline solution treat the following diseases:

ARI, influenza. Dressings are used only during the subsidence of acute processes. For sore throat - on the neck area. When coughing, a towel is soaked in a hypertonic saline solution and placed on the back. Dry cloth on top. Tied up with a bandage. Leave the bandage overnight.

Diseases of the liver, stomach. A towel soaked in the solution is placed on the area from the navel to the chest. It is tied with bandages and left for 8-9 hours. The course of therapy is 8 days.

Procedures using saline solution are an additional remedy.

Caries. Affected tooth enamel is treated only by a dentist. But if a visit to a specialist is not possible, a salt bandage will reduce the toothache.

Hypertension. Moisten the cloth with 8% salt solution (add 80 g of salt per liter of water), wring out. Secure the bandage with bandages around the head. Keep until the condition improves.

boils. Warm saline dressings help get rid of uncomplicated local abscesses. If an abscess is opened during the procedure, the contents are removed with gauze, and the tissues are treated with an antiseptic.

Poisoning. Linen cloth is moistened in a solution, folded into 4 layers, applied to the stomach and left overnight. Course - 7 days. In case of poisoning, toxins are removed after 2 procedures.

Neurosis. As an additional remedy for the treatment prescribed by the doctor, salt dressings are applied to the area of ​​biologically active points to normalize the functioning of the nervous system. The neurologist determines the duration of treatment.

Joint pain. A wide bandage is moistened in a 10% sodium chloride solution and the sore joints are bandaged. The bandage is left overnight. The procedures are repeated for 12-14 days.

Different types of therapy

KindsApplicationRecipe
Trays To strengthen nails A tablespoon (tablespoon) of salt is added to a liter of hot water (37 - 40 degrees). The fingers are lowered into the bath for 15 minutes. The procedures are repeated for 2 weeks.
For eyes The consequences of infectious diseases are gone. The concentration of hypertonic solution is calculated by the doctor. The procedure is performed as follows: close your eyes, lower your face into a salt solution, open your eyes for a couple of seconds. They raise their heads.
Baths Relaxing Dissolve a glass of salt in water, pour into a bath (+37 degrees). Duration - 15 minutes. Course - 10 procedures. Highly salted (from 600 g to 4 kg of salt per liter of water) are used for joint diseases.
Compresses For the treatment of joints An ointment is being prepared: salt (a tablespoon), honey (2 tablespoons), 100 g of sea buckthorn oil. With this ointment, a compress is made for half an hour.
With bruises Salt solution (100 g per liter of water)
Applications From spurs on the heels Ingredients: a glass of salt, hot pepper - 3 pods, cognac (half a liter). Mix, put in a dark place for a week. Keep applications for no more than 5 minutes.
rubdowns From a cold Mix alcohol (glass), salt (1 tablespoon) and water (0.5 liters). Wipe the body with a hard washcloth, after an hour take a warm shower.

In the absence of contraindications, you can take natural mineral waters, as natural trace elements help improve metabolism, increase efficiency.

Unfortunately, medicine is also a business. The trouble with hypertonic saline is that it is too simple and cheap.

First. Table salt in an aqueous solution of not more than 10 percent is 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.

Second. Salt bandage 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.

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

Fourth. The use of saline 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. It is 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 the 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.

During the Great Patriotic War, I worked as a senior operating nurse in field hospitals with a wonderful surgeon Ivan Ivanovich Shcheglov, who widely used hypertonic (i.e. saturated) sodium chloride 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. Thus, we had practically no deaths.
And now, 10 years after the war, I used the Shcheglov method, trying to treat caries complicated by granuloma with saline swabs. And she fixed her teeth in two weeks.

After this little luck, I decided to carefully study 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. Knowing that 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.

Here are some more examples from practice. Once, during a business trip to the region, I stopped at an apartment where children were ill with whooping cough. They coughed incessantly and exhaustingly. To put the children out of their misery, 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. Six months later, the same girl developed an adenoma of the second breast. However, saline dressings this time also helped to avoid surgery. After 9 years, I called my patient. She replied that she had successfully graduated from the university, she was feeling 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. But again salt helped - 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.

I will give another case that I encountered while working in a clinic. For three 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 at 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, the fluid is renewed in the tissues of the diseased organ and their disinfection - purification from 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 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 choice of dressing material is very important. It 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.

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. / At night, you can cover yourself with a duvet cover or a sheet made of natural fabric (cotton, linen), the room should be warm, without drafts. (Note by V. Zhukov)

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 the 17th issue (2000) of the HLS bulletin, my article was published under the title "From White Death to White Salvation." A flood of letters and phone calls literally hit me from all regions of the country with virtually the same type of questions; how to prepare a hypertonic saline solution and how to use it in dressings in each specific case of the disease?

In medical practice, a 10% solution of sodium chloride is usually used ( stone and no other!) salt, that is, 100 grams 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.

Not all water is suitable for preparing a hypertonic solution. Not suitable for this purpose are spring, artesian, sea (especially) water containing iodine salts, which neutralize sodium chloride in the solution. A bandage with such a solution loses its healing, absorbent and bactericidal properties. That's why it is better to use distilled (from a pharmacy) water or, in extreme cases, purified rain or snow to prepare a saline solution. (Water passed through high-quality household water filters is also suitable - Note.)

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.

1. With a headache caused by inflammatory processes, dropsy, swelling of the brain and meninges (meningitis, arachnoiditis), diseases of other organs, for example, influenza, sepsis, typhoid fever, excessive blood supply from intense mental and physical work, after a stroke, as well as with tumor formations in the brain, a salt bandage in the form of a cap or a wide strip of bandage in 8-10 layers, moistened in a 9% solution and not strongly squeezed out, is performed on the entire (or around) head and must be bandaged over the entire surface of the bandage with one small gauze bandage. A dry one is tied on top, in 2 layers, preferably a cotton or old gauze bandage. The dressing is performed at night for 8-9 hours until dry, removed in the morning, the dressing material is rinsed well in warm water, the head is washed off.

With sclerosis of cerebral vessels, salt dressing is contraindicated!

2. For runny noses, sinusitis, frontal sinusitis, the bandage is made in the form of a gauze strip in 6-7 layers on the forehead (with frontal sinusitis), on the nose and cheeks with cotton swabs placed on the wings of the nose, pressing the strip to the skin of the face in these places. These strips are bandaged with two or three turns of a small bandage, kept for 7-8 hours, used until cured. During the day, the mouth and nose should be rinsed 2-3 times with a solution of a weaker concentration: one and a half medium teaspoons of salt with a slide per faceted glass (250 ml) of water, can be from the tap.

3. Dental caries is also treated with a gauze strip in 8 layers, moistened in a 10% salt solution for the entire jaw with a diseased tooth and bandaged with 2-3 turns of a small bandage around. Overlay all night, course treatment 1-2 weeks, after which the diseased tooth should be sealed. Caries and periodontal disease can be treated in another way: after dinner, before going to bed, hold a sip of a 10% saline solution in your mouth for 5-7 minutes and spit, then do not take anything into your mouth. With toothache, even under a crown, this procedure can be repeated several times.

With caries complicated by granuloma, as well as with fluxes on a sore tooth, on the gum (on the cheek), you can apply a dense cotton swab (preferably made of viscose) finger-thick, moistened in a 10% solution and squeezed almost dry. The tampon must be kept on all night.

With sufficiently large cavities in the teeth, it is possible to lay in them (with a needle, small curved scissors) cotton swabs moistened in the solution and well squeezed out and replaced with fresh ones after each meal. The course of treatment with bandages (on the jaw) externally and tampons for up to 2 weeks, after which the diseased teeth should be sealed

4. Sore throat, laryngitis, tracheitis, inflammation of the salivary and thyroid glands (goiter) are well treated with a gauze bandage in 6-7 layers (from a wide bandage), moistened in a 10% salt solution, performed on the neck, all night, and with a headache pain in the form of the same strip - and on the head. Both of these strips (or one common, extended for the neck and head) are bandaged with one small gauze bandage. The lower edge of the bandage on the neck (so as not to wrap up) is bandaged to the body with one turn of the bandage through the armpits of both hands and back, and the bandaging on the neck is completed without squeezing the breath.

5. In case of pneumonia, bronchitis, pleurisy, emphysema, asthma of infectious origin, lung tumors, a dressing with a 10% solution is performed on the entire back, necessarily on the focus of the disease and even on the entire chest (for men) from two “waffle” towels folded into two layers, across each. One is wetted in a slightly heated saline solution, slightly squeezed out (the squeezed solution is drunk back into the jar, it does not deteriorate), the same dry layer is applied to the wet one, and both are tightly enough, without squeezing the breath, bandaged with two large gauze bandages. The upper half of the back, the shoulder girdle, is bandaged in the form of a transverse eight through the armpits of both hands, the lower half - with a second bandage around the lower half of the chest. Bandaging is performed over the entire surface of the towels. The course of treatment of inflammatory processes of the lung - 7-10 dressings daily, tumors - 3 weeks, one of them - daily, the remaining 14 dressings - through the night. These dressings also last 10 hours before drying. ( With pulmonary bleeding, a salt bandage is harmful! - Note.)

6. In case of mastopathy, adenoma, cancer of one mammary gland, a dressing with a 9-10% solution is made from one “waffle” towel, folded in 3-4 layers across, with a strip of 25 cm wide, always on both breasts. If there is a wound, it is covered with a gauze napkin with a solution of 2-4 layers, which is covered with a towel, and together they are bandaged with one large gauze bandage, without squeezing the breath.

Mastopathy and other inflammatory processes of the mammary glands are treated with a bandage from one to two weeks, tumors - 3 weeks (1st - daily, the rest - every other night). It is performed at night and lasts 9-10 hours.

7. With inflammation of the heart muscle and membranes of the heart ( with myocarditis, endocarditis, pericarditis ) in a 9% saline solution heated to 70 ° C, only the ends of a strip of a “waffle” towel, folded in length in 3 layers, are wetted (and squeezed out), which is thrown over the left shoulder, they cover the heart in front and behind (between the shoulder blades), and these the ends are bandaged with one wide gauze bandage around the chest.

This bandage is performed at night, every other day, for 2 weeks.

Salt dressing does not cure angina pectoris, ischemic disease, heart valve defects.

8. With a decrease in the level of hemoglobin in the blood, radiation exposure, the same bandage of 3-4 layers of a “waffle” towel (or 8 layers of gauze) is applied to the entire chest in front. It should cover the breast bone, liver, spleen - hematopoietic organs. The course of treatment of these organs is 2 weeks (one - daily, the rest - every other night). With radiation exposure, at the same time, such a bandage should be performed on the neck, on the thyroid gland.

9. With cholecystitis, hepatitis, cirrhosis, gastritis and pancreatitis, the same bandage from a “waffle” towel in 3-4 layers across a strip 25 cm wide, and with dropsy of the abdomen and on the entire abdomen, is performed around the lower half of the chest and upper half abdomen (from the base of the mammary glands in women and nipples - in men to the navel). This bandage is bandaged with one or two wide bandages. It also lasts 9-10 hours. The course of treatment is 7-10 dressings.

In patients with narrowed bile ducts, after 6-7 dressings, unpleasant bursting sensations and even dull pain in the “substratum” may appear - this thickened (under the influence of the bandage) bile presses on the walls of the gallbladder, lingering in the bladder and ducts. In this case, after removing the dressing 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 for it is not dangerous), and to put 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 cancerous, this department, as well as others, are treated with a salt bandage for 3 weeks (one - daily, the rest - every other night).

Ulcers of the stomach, 12 duodenal ulcers, hernias, scars, adhesions, constipation, torsion in the intestine, the bandage does not heal,stones do not dissolve.

10. Inflammation of the intestinal mucosa - enteritis, colitis, appendicitis - a bandage on the entire abdomen at night from a towel in 3-4 layers successfully heals within one week. In case of poisoning, for example, with poor-quality food, 3-4 dressings for 9-10 hours are enough, for children - 1-2 dressings for the same period of time, so that the intestines are cleansed of poisons.

To stop diarrhea for the same reason in adults, two sips of a 9-10% salt solution are enough, preferably on an empty stomach, with an interval of 1-2 hours.

11. Pathologies of the pelvic organs - colitis, polyps, tumors of the rectum, hemorrhoids, prostatitis, prostate adenomas, inflammation and tumors of the pelvic organs - fibroids, fibromas, cancer of the uterus and ovaries, as well as inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder and hip joints are treated with saline a bandage of two "waffle" towels.

One, folded in 2 layers along the length, is wetted in a heated 10% solution, squeezed out medium, superimposed on the pelvic girdle, covered with the same second towel in 2 layers, and both are bandaged quite tightly with two wide gauze bandages. Tight rollers are bandaged into the inguinal pits with one turn of the bandage around the thighs, which press the bandage to the body in these recesses, and are fixed to the bandage with pins. This bandage should cover the lower abdomen of the patient (sick) from the navel to the pubis inclusive in front and the sacrum and buttocks from the middle of the waist to the anus in the back.

Inflammatory processes of the organs of this department should be treated for 2 weeks, tumors - 3, and in both cases in the first week the dressing is applied daily, the rest are performed every other night.

12. Salt bandage relieves hypertension well. If it is caused by a stressful condition in a patient (nervous experience, shock), it is enough to perform 3-4 dressings from a towel material in 3-4 layers on the lower back, moistened (and squeezed out) in a 9% saline solution. It should be bandaged with one large bandage. If your kidneys hurt, for example, pyelonephritis worries, which also raises blood pressure, you need to treat your kidneys. In this case, 10-15 saline bandages should be performed on the lower back for the whole night. If at the same time you feel a headache, especially in the occipital region, tinnitus, at the same time with bandages on the lower back, perform 3-4 bandages of 8-10 layers of gauze with a 9% solution around the head and always on the back of the head.

13. Arthritis, polyarthritis, bursitis, rheumatism of large joints (knee, ankle, elbow) bandaged with large gauze bandages with a 10% saline solution at night every day for 2 weeks. Not only the joints themselves are bandaged, but also the limbs 10-15 cm higher and lower.

14. Acute pain from burns of small surfaces of the body is removed by a soft salt 10% bandage after 3-4 minutes, but it, the bandage, must be kept for 8-9 hours, after which an ointment or open treatment should be applied as prescribed by a doctor. I think they will help with extensive burns.

P.S. Dear comrades, patients, hypertonic saline solutions - not a panacea for all diseases. Already in this short text, I have listed a number of diseases, including eye diseases, which 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).

I untied the knots with a salt bandage

This dressing is safe if the following recommendations are strictly followed. Failure to comply with them can cause undesirable consequences in the patient's 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. If you decide to be treated with a saline bandage, first find out from your doctors the nature of your disease.

I want to tell you how, thanks to the recipe of Anna Gorbacheva, in the letter "From White Death to White Salvation", published in HLS (No. 20 for 2002 and No. 24 for 2005), she cured an old thyroid disease with three nodes and seals.
After carefully reading the article twice, I thought: why not take a chance and treat your thyroid gland with saline dressings? I did everything as Gorbacheva recommended, except that I applied the salt dressing not hot, but warm.
I did this: I boiled 1 liter of water and poured 90 g of ordinary table salt into it. A 9% solution was obtained. Then she took a cotton fabric, repeatedly worn and washed, folded it into 4 layers according to the size of the thyroid gland. (If you take gauze, then it must be folded into 8 layers). This bandage was dipped in a warm saline solution and applied to the thyroid gland. The bandage should not be too wet, but not too dry.
To keep it warm, I lightly covered it with a dry cotton towel. One edge was placed on the chin, the other on the chest. I tried to leave air space between the bandage and the towel. And when the bandage did cool down, I warmed it up a little in the saline solution.
And so with a salt bandage I sat every day for 3-4 hours in the evening in front of the TV. Having finished the procedure, the bandage was thoroughly washed or replaced with another one. It took me 10 days.

Helped with hypertonic saline

I will add my case to the history of the use of a hypertonic saline solution for medicinal purposes. The material of Anna Gorbacheva, a nurse during the war years, "From White Death to White Salvation" in HLS (No. 24, 2005) describes the practice of its application.
My grandson was not even 10 months old when a small bump appeared on his hand at the very base of his thumb. For 2 weeks it grew and turned red, became the size of a bean.
The attending physician changed his diagnosis several times. Accordingly, he prescribed new ointments and creams. Days, weeks passed. No change for the better. The surgeon suggested an operation - he was only waiting for a nurse who was supposed to come out of vacation.
We began to worry, we went to one healer, to another. The first one said it was a cyst. She prescribed homemade ointment. Didn't help. The other one called it a furuncle. Offered a well-known mixture of boiled onions, salt, eggs and sunflower oil. The result is the same. And then one day grandmother Tamara remembered the miraculous power of a hypertonic solution, that is, an ordinary 10% solution of table salt in distilled water. According to the HLS card index, the above article was found. Given the age of the child, we made an 8% solution. The grandson's mother began to make dressings daily at night with 8-layer gauze soaked in a salt solution.
After 8 days of procedures, the bump disappeared, there was a slight redness and a hard pea under the skin. We were delighted and stopped the bandages. It wasn't there. Even began to increase the size of the bumps. I had to repeat salt dressings until it completely disappeared.
How can one not believe after this example in the miraculous power of a salt solution?

Everything has been confirmed

For the first time I learned about the salt dressing from the "ZOZH" (No. 20 for 2002). Decided to test it out for myself. I prepared a hot 9% salt solution, moistened gauze folded in 8 layers in it, and bandaged it to the mole. When the gauze dried, I washed it, and repeated the procedure in the evening. Did so several times. The birthmark has disappeared.
Throughout the winter of 2003-2004. experiments with the bandage continued. My son had a sore throat - in the evening he made a bandage for him. Twice was enough for the son to feel healthy. I had a runny nose - I immediately made a bandage on my nose, on the region of the frontal sinuses. On the third day, the runny nose weakened. If there is an abscess on the finger, the treatment is known - a bandage for the night, in the morning the abscess is gone.
Further more. Tried to treat bronchitis in this way. First, with the help of hot salt in the bag, he warmed the shoulder area. The next night, I made a salt bandage, capturing the area of ​​​​the shoulder blades. Bronchitis surrendered almost without a fight. The last experiment with salt was in the treatment of prostate adenoma. In the evening, before going to bed, I applied a bandage to the area of ​​​​the bladder and groin. For 8 sessions, I felt relief, as if I had cleansed my entire body.
From this I conclude: everything that is written in the "Healthy Lifestyle" about the treatment of various diseases with the help of salt dressings has been fully confirmed. Moreover, dressings can be used in all cases when it is necessary to get rid of the pathogenic flora.

Anna Gorbacheva's advice saved me

In July 1995, a malignant tumor was removed on my right cheekbone near my eye. At the beginning of 1998, the cancer reappeared in the same place and within a few months grew to an eye-threatening size. The dermatologist said that a complex operation had to be done in the hospital. As an alternative, he suggested irradiation. Previously, as in the 1st time, he made a biopsy under local anesthesia, and after 3 weeks I had 15 irradiations, as a result of which the cancer mostly resolved. I will not talk about my further suffering and about the severe side effects that I experienced for many months after irradiation. At the beginning of 2002, the cancer reappeared and again in the same place. The dermatologist made a biopsy for me (for the 3rd time), for which he deeply cut out a large piece of the cheek (after which he hardly stopped the blood, which, as they say, “whipped like a fountain”), and after 2 weeks he reported, as before: non-metastatic cancer .
He offered me 2 methods of treatment: 1. In the hospital they will cut out the tumor for me not immediately, but in parts; 2. The tumor will be removed immediately completely - this is almost the entire cheek - and then a piece of skin will be taken from the neck and a patch will be applied with it ... And this is under the very right eye! Yes, despite the fact that a month ago, an ophthalmologist crippled my left eye when removing a completely minor cataract, explaining: "The sooner the better." It must also be taken into account that this year I will be “fifteen minutes to a hundred” ... In a word, it is not difficult to imagine my condition. But there was nothing to do, and I began to mentally prepare for the operation.
And this must happen! Just at that time, I received an issue of the HLS newsletter with an article by Anna Danilovna Gorbacheva “From White Death to White Salvation”.
With bated breath, he began to apply a gauze bandage moistened with an 8% solution of pure table salt to the cancer area at night, strictly following all the instructions.
The first 2 weeks were spent on healing the deep wound from the biopsy. And another 3 weeks - to ensure that this chronic long-term cancer completely disappears. All that was left was the scar from the biopsy. It's been almost a year since then and so far so good. If the "sore" appears again, I will resort to the already tested salt bandage. It’s even scary for me to imagine what would have happened to me, and how I would have looked if I had fallen into the hands of a surgeon.
In the near future I plan to seriously engage in salt treatment of diseases of the “lower floor”: urological problems, sciatica, diseases of the rectum.

Salt helped me heal

Many years ago, a pebble formed in my gallbladder gave me the heat. Without thinking twice, I began to take choleretic herbs and tie a cotton towel soaked in saline solution to the liver area all night (it should be as hot as the body can tolerate). The bandage was fastened tightly. In the morning she took it off, wiped the skin with clean water and applied a heating pad to the area of ​​the liver and gallbladder.

This must be done without fail, since as a result of deep heating, the bile ducts expand and dehydrated thick bile passes freely into the intestines. Has made 10 such daily procedures. The stone stopped bothering me.

I also used a saline solution for an abscess that appeared on my finger. Boiled 2 tsp. salt in 200 ml of water, waited a little while the water cooled down, and began to soar a finger with an abscess in this solution. First, I held it for 1 second, then, as the water cooled, gradually increased the time of the procedure. After that, she smeared the sore finger with iodine. Has made 3 procedures. The next day there was no abscess.

And a few more tips on the use of salt for the treatment of certain diseases. They are all from my own experience.

Both men and women face the problem of hair loss. To cope with it, you need to wash your hair, then sprinkle wet hair with salt and massage it, rubbing salt into the roots. After that, rinse with warm water. And so 10 days in a row. Hair will stop falling out.

Many people complain of lethargy, weakness, irritability. Very often, toxins accumulated in the body are to blame for this. Salt will help cleanse the body of them. In the morning on an empty stomach, dip a dry spoon into the salt. So little salt will settle on the tip of it that it will practically not be visible. Lick this salt off with the tip of your tongue. The tiny amount of salt deposited on it will work as a cleanser. After 10 days, you will feel vivacity and a surge of strength. This procedure is contraindicated for hypertensive patients.

If your feet are affected by a fungus, wash them in a saline solution (2 tablespoons of salt per 0.5 liters of warm water). Perform the procedure for 5-10 minutes. And so on until complete recovery. This remedy also helps with excessive sweating of the legs.

Salt will also cope with migraine attacks. Throw a handful of salt in 1 liter of hot water and quickly moisten your head with the solution. Wrap yourself in a towel and lie down in bed. Try to sleep. The pain will pass.

An elevated temperature will be driven away by drinking salt water (1/4 tsp of salt dissolved in 1/4 cup of water).

Attacks of rheumatism are removed by such a remedy. Mix 1/5 cup radish juice, 1 cup honey, 0.5 cup vodka, 1 tbsp. salt and rub, massaging, the mixture into the sore spot.

Scrofula and rickets in children are treated by bathing them in a saline solution (400 g of salt for each bucket of water). The duration of the procedure is 15 minutes. Carry it out 2-3 times a week until recovery.

Recommended treatment with salt and asthmatics. It is necessary to make a canopy from a film, put a stool under it, on a stool-a cup of salt, ground into powder, turn on the fan and inhale this salty air for 15-30 minutes. Do this regularly until the condition improves.

Be healthy without doctors!

Simple saline compresses

Simple salt compresses are made from salt water (100 g of rock or sea salt per 1 liter of water) at room temperature or body temperature. Cotton cloth (or a bandage folded in several layers) is impregnated with this salt water and applied to the sore spot. Salt compresses have a healing effect and quickly restore damaged skin after bruises, bruises, ulcers, burns and calluses.

Hot salt compresses

A solution for such a salt compress is prepared at the rate of 2 tbsp. l. salt per 1 liter of boiling water. The procedure is carried out as follows: moisten a terry towel in a hot saline solution, attach it to the chin, neck, cheeks, elbow or knee.

These compresses are used for deep warming of body parts that need to be relaxed and nourished with microelements by activating capillary blood supply.

Usually they are used for cosmetic purposes.

Hot salt applications allow you to deeply warm the tissues, with the help of salt ions, stimulate the energy channels of the body through the bioactive points of the skin.

Steam saline compresses

To prepare this compress, use a bag with salt heated to 50-70 ° C. If the heat is difficult to endure, then a terry towel is placed under the bag. On that part of the body that needs to be well warmed up, waxed paper (or medical oilcloth, or skin) is applied over the bag, making a kind of local sauna for this part of the body.
The compress, depending on the purpose, is kept from 10 minutes (cosmetic procedure) to 30-40 minutes (therapeutic heating of the inflamed area or the place where pain is felt).

Salt poultices are used to reduce pain in rheumatism, gout. In chronic diseases, when it is required to cause softening, resorption and removal of all kinds of hardening, the described procedure is carried out twice a day.

Salt dressing

This is a kind of warming compress, superimposed either on the focus of pain, or near it. The bandage is made from sterile linen or cotton fabric folded several times, or gauze folded eight times.
