Colds haunt us throughout life. Dry cough, stuffy nose, heaviness in the head, sneezing, chills - all this is accompanied by a cold. I'd like to get rid of these disgusting sensations. In order to facilitate swallowing, relieve cutting pains in the nose and throat, and reduce cough, traditional medicine presents us with a very effective method, and this is a compress from vodka to the throat.
This compress will really save you from painful symptoms in just a few days. To prepare it, we need:
- vodka or alcohol infusion;
- piece of fabric (preferably natural);
- polyethylene or cling film;
- scarf;
- cotton wool.
We fold the fabric several times. We heat vodka, but do not boil. Next, we wet the fabric in vodka. Squeeze a little and wrap the throat. We must wrap polyethylene on top (to create a greenhouse effect), then we put a layer of cotton wool, which will allow us to keep warm longer. Gently fix our compress with a woolen scarf. We do this in such a way that blood circulation is not impaired. Our compress from vodka to the throat is ready! After 7 hours, remove the bandage. It is advisable that this treatment be carried out at night. After removing the bandage we wrap the neck with a dry, warm, but not prickly scarf.
Make sure that the compress is tight, but not too tight. At the same time, note that the fixation should not allow him to slide, otherwise instead of the warming effect you will get the opposite.
It is advisable to do a compress of vodka together with a set of procedures aimed at treating colds. The main goal is to prevent the disease from developing further.
Compresses of this kind also help with earaches. The insidiousness of otitis media lies in its terrible consequences, since a person can completely lose his hearing. A compress from vodka helps with pain in the ears, if it is applied in the interval from 2 to 4 hours of daytime. This watch has been determined by doctors who study biorhythms. To do this, we need the same materials that we used in the previous recipe. Only we will need to treat the skin around the ear with oily cream or petroleum jelly. Four folded fabric is cut in the middle. Wet in warm vodka, wring and apply around the auricle. Keep your ear canal open. Also cover with compress paper, cover with cotton wool on top, tie tightly. We wear a compress of vodka for a couple of hours, after removal - immediately to bed. Otherwise, there will be no effect. If necessary, re-compress, be sure to use a clean cloth to prevent infection from re-entering.
Vodka compress on the foot will help get rid of calcane keratinization. First we make a foot bath from saline, for which we observe a 1:10 ratio of salt to water. Remember that if you have a problem with one leg, then according to the law of symmetry, you must soar both. Wipe your feet thoroughly. Four flannel fabric, folded four, moistened with vodka, applied to problem areas. We wrap the film on top or put on an impermeable bag. A warm sock will complete the process. A vodka compress on the foot is effective if left overnight.
As a warming compress from vodka has a positive effect on inflammatory processes in the joints; some time after bruises and injuries; with inflammation of the larynx and pharynx. It also helps after unsuccessful injections, when drug infiltrates form and reduce pain in acute thrombophlebitis.
If there are wounds, you can use vodka infusion of nettle. This combination creates a disinfectant and anti-inflammatory effect. Previously, the wound should be washed, and the compress of vodka should be changed every 2-3 hours. And, of course, such compresses are allowed for use only in adults.
