Stroke is the most serious disease of our time, the result of which is the complete or partial death of the brain, and, as a result, the cessation of blood supply to the injured area. This, in turn, leads to a person’s disability, his disability and requires repeated social adaptation. In fact, after a stroke, a person, like a child, begins to learn to walk again, and sometimes to talk.
After inpatient treatment, the doctor usually prescribes rehabilitation measures, including water procedures, which are indispensable in the treatment of stroke.
They are very effective and their use is justified. After all, it is known that the movements that are given with such difficulty to the patient in an ordinary environment in the water will be easier and more familiar.
Water procedures in the treatment of stroke will help a person feel approximately as before a disease, and this will positively affect his psycho-emotional state.
Treatment usually begins with elementary baths, they are especially indicated when the most unpleasant thing happened as a result of a stroke - a person became motionless.
Water procedures in the treatment of stroke are, first of all, a bath of rosehip roots. This useful plant saves humanity from numerous ailments, and helps in these cases.
In order to take the procedure one-time, it is enough to prepare the next infusion. Pour one glass of roots with three liters of water and cook on low heat for half an hour. Let the broth brew for another 20 minutes, carefully filter the broth and pour it into the previously set bathroom. Water temperature should correspond to 38 ° .
Such water procedures in the treatment of stroke take within 20 minutes and no more. Be sure to ensure that the patient is comfortable in the bathroom, and the water temperature is constant.
There is another way of water therapy can be carried out using the fruits and branches of juniper. To do this, we select a good quality branch. For one procedure, we need one glass of fruits, leaves and part of the twigs themselves. All this is poured into a container in which we will prepare a medicinal decoction and fill it with three liters of water.
Cook the mixture on low heat for 30 minutes, let it brew for 20 minutes, pour it into the bathroom, as in the previous method. Water temperature - 38 ° .
For effective treatment, these bathrooms should be alternated. For example, we perform 10 water procedures with wild rose, and then 10 with juniper. In this case, after a week you will notice that your patient from the attention, and, most importantly, from treatment with natural components will begin to come to life before our eyes.
Care after a stroke also involves the use of a foot steam bath. If the patient can sit, put his legs on a chair for treatment.
In the interval between the patient’s bed and the chair, a container of boiling water is steadily placed. Then the lid is removed from the pan, thereby releasing steam, and carefully wrap the legs with a blanket so that the heat does not go away and the legs warm up. Watch for the well-being of the patient. This procedure ends with dousing the feet with cold water. Do not forget that care after a stroke is a painstaking task and it is necessary that the procedures are accepted by the patient with comfort and not harm him.
For motionless patients who have suffered a stroke, cold wiping of the body is indicated. There is also such treatment associated with the use of cold water, which is known as the "Spanish cloak."
Its essence is as follows. For the procedure, we will definitely need a woolen blanket and linen sheet. We will moisten it in cold water with the addition of table vinegar. We will carefully squeeze out the sheet so that water does not drain, and bed it on top of the blanket. We lay the completely undressed patient on his back, quickly wrap a sheet and a woolen blanket from armpits and below, as if swaddling it. At the same time, we wrap the neck with a dry scarf, and on top of the body several more blankets.
In such a "Spanish cloak" the patient will have to stay 1.5 hours. Watch for the well-being of the patient. Be sure to wash the sheet after the procedure thoroughly.
Let's get back to the disease itself. Stroke treatment is effective in the very first hours when a violation has occurred, but it’s better not to wait for the disaster, but to learn how to prevent a stroke.
To do this, you just need to lead a healthy lifestyle and especially monitor your own pressure. Remember that stress and insomnia exacerbate the risk of diseases, so try to minimize them.
How to prevent a stroke? Doctors tirelessly repeat, take herbs: motherwort, hawthorn, lemon balm, mint, valerian. There is no harm from them when used correctly, and the preventive value is great. You need to drink them daily, at a mandatory rate of 3-4 weeks, 2-3 times a year. A course of acupuncture and collar massage will also help in the prevention of this serious disease .
