Medical banks are used in the treatment of such common diseases as inflammatory processes in the bronchopulmonary system, as well as neuralgia and neuritis, myositis and others. If in the recent past they were used very widely, then gradually the popularity of this method of treatment is declining. Medical banks have lost their former popularity not because they are ineffective, but because more modern and easier-to-use medical products and drugs have appeared.
The attitude of modern doctors to this type of treatment is ambiguous. His admirers argue the benefits that medical banks bring in that when they are installed, lymph and blood rush to certain parts of the body. Thanks to this, the nutrition of this site is significantly improved and the inflammation is more rapidly absorbed. There is also a warming of the body areas that are under the banks and thus the pain is reduced. Opponents of this method of treatment indicate that when the cans are installed, the skin is absorbed, as a result of which many small blood vessels rupture and hemorrhages form. But at the same time, immune processes in the body are stimulated.
How to put cans
The use of this method of treatment involves their installation in close proximity to the focus of the disease. It is necessary to put medical jars on those parts of the body on which there is a sufficient amount of muscle layer and a layer of subcutaneous fat, because it is impossible to install them on the bone protrusions, they will not hold. If you use this method of treatment for diseases of the bronchopulmonary system, then banks are installed along the spine, under the shoulder blades and under the clavicle. In the region of the heart, they can not be installed.
In order to use banks, you must first conduct their training. To do this, they are thoroughly washed, and then completely wiped and put on a clean tray. It is also necessary to prepare a metal probe with thread or metal tongs, a small amount of cotton wool, alcohol, petroleum jelly and matches, if there is no petroleum jelly, it can be replaced with any vegetable oil.
Before applying cans, the patient is laid on a flat surface. For better adhesion to the skin, the areas on which they will be laid are lubricated with petroleum jelly or vegetable oil. After that, they set fire to cotton wool moistened with alcohol and hold the probe in one hand, and take a jar in the other. Her neck is brought to the fire, and she is quickly put on the body. Thus, all prepared cans are installed very quickly. You will immediately see that the skin is pulled inward. Now it is necessary to shelter the patient well, and in this position he should be about 10 minutes.
While the patient is lying, it is necessary to rub his soles with turpentine ointment. This method is very effective, you just need to rub the ointment well, until the sensation of warmth in the palms appears. The use of such a complex sometimes allows you to completely get rid of a cough at one time.
After the specified time has passed, you need to start to withdraw banks. In order for this process to proceed painlessly, you need to press a finger near the edge of the neck, air will get inside and the can will be easily removed. The remaining banks are removed in the same way. After the procedure, you need to wipe the skin well with a towel and tightly cover the patient with a blanket for a longer heat preservation. You can repeat this procedure daily until a positive result of treatment.
You can’t use ether instead of alcohol. Cotton wool is dipped quite a bit, otherwise excess alcohol can drain onto the skin and thus cause a burn.
When installing cans, children are recommended to take a break of 1-2 days. Also for children, you can alternate the use of cans and mustard plasters.
So that you do not have a question on how to properly supply banks, it is better to attract medical workers who have experience in their use.
