Treatment of a runny nose with saline solution: recipes and useful tips. Treatment with hypertonic solution

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 solution of table salt in the treatment of the wounded. He placed a loose, large napkin generously moistened with saline solution on the large surface of the contaminated wound.

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

About 10 years after the war, I used Shcheglov’s method to treat my own teeth, as well as caries complicated by granuloma. Success came within two weeks. After that, I began to study the effect of saline solution on diseases such as cholecystitis, nephritis, chronic appendicitis, rheumatic carditis, inflammatory processes in the lungs, articular rheumatism, osteomyelitis, abscesses after injection, and so on. In principle, these were isolated cases, but each time I received positive results quite quickly.

Later, I worked in a clinic and could tell you about a number of rather difficult cases in which a saline dressing turned out to be more effective than all other medications. We managed to cure hematomas, bursitis, and chronic appendicitis. The fact is that the saline solution has absorbent properties and draws liquid with pathogenic flora from the tissue. Once, during a business trip to the region, I stayed in an apartment. The housewife's children suffered from whooping cough. They coughed continuously and painfully. I put salt bandages on their backs overnight. 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 a saline solution in the treatment of tumors. The first such patient was a woman with a cancerous mole on her face. She noticed this mole six months ago. During this time, the mole turned purple, increased in volume, and gray-brown liquid was released from it. I started making salt stickers for her. After the first sticker, the tumor turned pale and shrank.

After the second, she turned even more pale and seemed to shrink. The discharge has 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 a mammary adenoma. She had to undergo surgery. I advised the patient to apply salt dressings to her chest for several weeks before the operation. Imagine, no surgery was required. Six months later, she developed an adenoma on her second breast. Again, she was cured with hypertensive patches without surgery. I met her nine years after treatment. She felt well and did not even remember her illness.
I could continue the stories of miraculous cures using bandages with a hypertonic solution. I could tell you about a teacher at one of the Kursk institutes who, after nine saline pads, got rid of prostate adenoma. A woman who suffered from leukemia regained her health after wearing salt bandages on her blouse and trousers at night for three weeks.
RESULTS:
1) First. Table salt in aqueous solution no more than 10 percent - active sorbent. It pulls out all the “rubbish” from the diseased organ. But
the therapeutic effect will only be if the bandage is breathable, that is, hygroscopic, which is determined by the quality
material used for dressing.
2) Second. The salt dressing acts locally - only on the diseased organ or area of the body. As fluid is absorbed from the subcutaneous layer, tissue fluid from deeper layers rises into it, carrying with it all pathogenic principles: microbes, viruses and organic substances.
Thus, during the action of the bandage, fluid is renewed in the tissues of the diseased body, cleansed of the pathogenic factor and, as a rule, the pathological process is eliminated.
3) Third. Bandage with hypertonic sodium chloride solution acts gradually. The therapeutic result is achieved within 7-10 days, and sometimes more.
4) Fourth. Using a solution of table salt requires some caution. For example, I would not recommend using a bandage with a solution concentration exceeding 10 percent. In some cases, even an 8 percent solution is better. (Any pharmacist will help you prepare the solution).
I may be asked: where are doctors looking, if a bandage with a hypertonic solution is so effective, why is this method of treatment not widely used? I think doctors are in thrall to drug treatment. Pharmaceutical companies offer more and more new and more expensive drugs. Unfortunately, medicine is also a business.

The trouble with hypertonic solution is that it is too simple and cheap. Meanwhile, life convinces me that such bandages are an excellent remedy in the fight against many ailments. For example, for 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 goes away, and by morning the headache disappears. For any colds, I apply bandages at the first sign. But if I still missed the time and the infection managed to penetrate into the pharynx and bronchi, then I do it at the same time
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 towel) usually for the whole night. Cure is achieved after 4-5 procedures. At the same time, I continue to work.

So, I quoted a newspaper article found on the Internet...

Now the results:

How to prepare an 8-10 percent salt solution

Take 1 liter of boiled, snow or rain water or distilled warm water.
2. Put 90 g of table salt in 1 liter of water (that is, 3 level tablespoons). Stir thoroughly. The result was a 9 percent saline solution.
To get a 10 percent solution, you need, as you understand, 100 grams of salt per 1 liter of water, 8% - 80 grams of salt.

How to make a bandage

1. Take 8 layers of cotton gauze (sold at the pharmacy), pour out part of the solution and hold 8 layers of gauze in it for 1 minute. Squeeze slightly so that it does not leak. Do not squeeze dry, but lightly.
2. Place 8 layers of gauze on the sore spot. Be sure to put a piece of pure lamb wool (wool is breathable). Do this before bed.
3. Important - no cellophane (like in a compress)
4. Bandage everything with cotton - paper cloth or a bandage, without using plastic pads. Keep it until the morning. In the morning, remove everything. And the next night, repeat everything. (At night, it’s easier to keep the bandage on, because you’re sleeping =) and the bandage won’t fall off)

Where to put the bandage

A bandage with saline solution is applied to the projection of the organ

The bandage is soaked in a warm solution

Due to the circulation of solution and air, the dressing causes a cooling sensation. Therefore, the bandage should be soaked with a hot hypertonic solution (60-70 degrees). Before applying the bandage, you can cool it slightly by shaking it in the air.

Salt, as mentioned above, draws out all the bad things from the wound and disinfects it. Salt is an excellent sorbent. You can Google it and see how many grateful people write about saline solution. Cheap and cheerful!!!

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

He placed a loose, large napkin generously moistened with saline solution on the large surface of the contaminated wound.

Practice of using salt dressings.

1. Table salt in an aqueous solution of no more than 10 percent is an active sorbent. It draws out all impurities from the diseased organ. But the therapeutic effect will only be if the bandage is breathable, that is, hygroscopic, which is determined by the quality of the material used for the bandage.

Some people may ask: where are doctors looking, if a bandage with a hypertonic solution is so effective, why is this method of treatment not widely used? It's very simple - doctors are captive of drug treatment. Pharmaceutical companies offer more and more new and more expensive drugs. Unfortunately, medicine is also a business. The trouble with hypertonic solution is that it is too simple and cheap. Meanwhile, life convinces me that such bandages are an excellent remedy in the fight against many ailments.

For example, for 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 goes away, and by morning the headache disappears. For any colds, I apply bandages at the first sign. And if, nevertheless, I missed the time and the infection managed to penetrate into the throat and bronchi, then I simultaneously make a complete bandage on the head and neck (from 3-4 layers of soft thin fabric) and on the back (from 2 layers of wet and 2 layers of dry towel), usually on all night long. Cure is achieved after 4-5 procedures. At the same time, I continue to work.

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

The bandage on the liver is applied within the boundaries: from the base of the left mammary gland 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 spine in the back. Bandage 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 intestines. A heating pad is required in this case. As for the girl, many years have passed since that treatment, and she does not complain about her liver.

I don’t want to give addresses, first names, last names. Believe it or not, a 4-layer saline bandage made of a cotton towel, applied to both breasts for 8-9 hours at night, helped a woman get rid of breast cancer in two weeks. A friend of mine used salt tampons placed directly on the cervix for 15 hours to cope with cervical cancer. After 2 weeks of treatment, the tumor thinned 2-3 times, became softer, and stopped growing. This is how she has remained to this day.

Saline solution can only be used as a bandage, but never as a compress. The salt concentration in the solution should not exceed 10%, but should not fall below 8%.

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

The choice of material for the bandage is very important. It must be hygroscopic. That is, we get wet easily and without any residues 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), which has been used many times and washed more than once. Ultimately, you can use gauze. The latter is folded into 8 layers. Any other of the specified materials - in 4 layers.

When applying a bandage, the solution should be quite hot. The dressing material should be squeezed moderately so that it is not very dry and not very wet. Do not apply anything to the bandage.

Bandage it with a bandage or attach it with an adhesive plaster - and that’s it.

For various pulmonary processes (except for bleeding from the lungs), it is better to apply the bandage to the back, but you need to know exactly the localization of the process. Bandage the chest tightly enough, but do not compress your breathing.

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

To make the bandage fit better to the back, I place a roller on the spine between the shoulder blades on its damp layers and bandage it together with the bandage.

How to properly prepare a 10% saline solution.

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

2. Put 90 g of table salt in 1 liter of water (that is, 3 level tablespoons). Stir thoroughly. The result was a 9 percent saline solution.

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 slightly so that it does not leak.

4. Place 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 cotton cloth or a bandage, without using plastic pads. Keep it until the morning. In the morning, remove everything. And the next night repeat everything.

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

Several of my friends and relatives saved themselves using this recipe.
- from internal hemorrhage
- from a severe bruise on the lungs
- from inflammatory processes in the knee joint capsule
- from blood poisoning,
- from death due to hemorrhage in the leg due to a deep knife wound.
- from cold inflammation of the neck muscles...

And I want the nurse who sent this recipe to the newspaper, and the professor who treated soldiers at the front with this method, to live long, long lives. Low bow to them.

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

How to make saline solution at home

Pour 1 cup of water into the pan and add ½ teaspoon of salt. This is 225 ml of water and approximately 2.5 grams of salt. Make sure the salt does not contain iodine, preservatives, flavorings or other unnecessary additives.

½ teaspoon is quite a bit, right? For adults, you can add a little more salt, but only a little more. You should get the same concentration of salt as a human tear, which is 0.9% salt.
Use saline solution as directed. The most common uses of saline solution are to clear sinuses, relieve a sore throat, or rinse contact lenses. Just make sure the solution you make is safe to use for the purpose.
- If you use a gargle, wait until it cools down to avoid burning your throat: it should be very warm, but not scalding hot. The same applies to rinsing the sinuses or skin; you don't want to make the problem worse!

Pour the remaining saline solution into a sterile jug, bottle or glass. This is in case you have something left. Make sure that the container into which you are pouring the solution is sterile so that the solution does not lose its properties. This can be achieved by boiling the vessel into which you are going to pour the solution.

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

It is better to apply the bandage to cleanly washed skin
the material for the bandage must 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 top of the bandage with anything! She must "breathe"
the salt concentration 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, apply a bandage around your head.

If poisoning occurs, apply a bandage to your stomach.

If you have a sore throat or an infection in the lungs or bronchi, apply bandages to your 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 prescribed by your doctor. These are tumor formations of various etiologies, bruises, sprains, burns; stones in the kidneys and gall bladder (dissolves), restores the functioning of the hematopoietic organs, eliminating concomitant diseases, helps restore the functioning of the spine in various diseases.

Salt dressings will also help with the complex treatment of liver diseases. Apply the bandage from the right chest to the middle of the abdomen in front and to the spine in the back (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 use a heating pad to avoid blockage of the bile ducts. itself

The main rule is not to increase the concentration of the saline solution on your own under any circumstances!

Remember! If you have problems with the cardiovascular system, then you need to apply bandages no more than every other day.

Just don’t think that salt therapy is limited to compresses! There are many other ways to heal and improve your health using salt.

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

During the Second World War, surgeon Ivan Ivanovich Shcheglov widely used a hypertonic (saturated) solution of table salt for damage to bones and joints.

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

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 man went to the rear.
According to Shcheglov's method, it is even possible to treat caries complicated by granuloma with salt tampons.

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

Back in 1964, in a clinic under the supervision of an experienced surgeon who diagnosed and selected patients, chronic appendicitis was cured in two patients with saline dressings in 6 days, a shoulder abscess was cured in 9 days without opening, and bursitis of the knee joint was eliminated in 5-6 days. , which did not respond to any means of conservative treatment.

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

Hypertonic solution of table salt is a sorbent; I once tried it on myself with a 2-3 degree burn. Desperate to relieve the pain with pharmaceuticals, she applied a salt bandage to the burn. After a minute, the acute pain went away, 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 an ordinary wound.

Once I stayed in an apartment where children had whooping cough. To save the children from suffering and incessant and debilitating coughing, I applied salt bandages to 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 by poor quality food at dinner. The medications didn't help. Around noon I put a salt bandage on his stomach. After an hour and a half, the nausea and diarrhea stopped, the pain gradually decreased, and after five hours all signs of poisoning disappeared.

Having convinced myself of the positive effect of salt dressings on common pathological processes, I decided to use their healing properties to treat tumors. The clinic surgeon invited 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 paled and shrank, after the second, the result improved even more, and after the fourth sticker, the mole acquired the natural color and appearance that it had before the degeneration. The fifth sticker ended the treatment without surgical intervention.

In 1966, a student came to me with a mammary adenoma. The doctor who diagnosed her recommended surgery. I advised the patient to apply salt dressings to her chest for several days before surgery. The bandages helped - no surgery was required.

After 9 years, I called my patient. She replied that she successfully graduated from university, 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 mammary glands. 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 lumps at the site of the tumors.

At the end of the same year, I had experience in treating prostate adenoma. The regional hospital strongly recommended surgery for the patient. But he decided to try the salt pads first. After nine procedures, the patient recovered. He is still healthy.

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 at least somehow supported her.

Having found out that before the illness the patient worked for many years at a shoe factory with chemical dyes, I also understood the cause of the disease - poisoning with subsequent disruption of the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow. And I recommended salt dressings for her, alternating the “blouse” dressing and the “trouser” dressing at night for three weeks.

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

Having summarized the results of my 25 years of observations on the use of hypertonic table salt solution for medicinal purposes, I came to the following conclusions.

1. 10% solution of table salt - active sorbent. Salt interacts with water not only through direct contact, but also through air, material, and body tissue. When taken inside the body, salt absorbs and retains liquid in cavities and cells, localizing it where it is located. Applied externally (salt dressings), salt establishes contact with tissue fluid and, by suction, absorbs it through the skin and mucous membranes.

The volume 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 and its thickness.

2. The salt dressing 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, carrying with it pathogenic agents: microbes, viruses, inorganic substances, poisons, etc.

Thus, during the action of the bandage, the fluid in the tissues of the diseased organ is renewed and disinfected - cleansing from the pathogenic factor, and therefore eliminating the pathological process. In this case, the tissues act as a kind of filter, allowing microorganisms and substance particles to pass through themselves, having a volume less than the lumen of the intertissue pore.

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

How to apply a saline dressing
For runny nose and headaches. Make a circular bandage across the forehead and back of the head at night. After an hour or two, the runny nose goes away, and by the morning the headache will disappear.

A headband is good for high blood pressure, tumors, and dropsy. But in case of atherosclerosis, it is better not to apply a bandage - it dehydrates the head even more. For a circular dressing, only 8% saline solution can be used.

For the flu. Apply a bandage to your head at the first sign of illness. If the infection has managed to penetrate the throat and bronchi, make bandages on the head and neck at the same time (from 3-4 layers of soft thin fabric), on the back from two layers of a wet and two layers of a dry towel. Leave the dressings on all night.

For liver diseases (inflammation of the gallbladder, cholecystitis, cirrhosis of the liver). The liver bandage (cotton towel folded in four layers) is applied as follows: in height - from the base of the left mammary gland 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 spine in the back.

Bandage tightly with one wide bandage, tighter on the stomach. After 10 hours, remove the bandage and place a hot heating pad on the epigastric region for half an hour in order to, through deep heating, expand the bile duct 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.

For adenomas, mastopathy and breast cancer. Typically, a four-layer, dense but non-compressive saline dressing is used on both breasts. Apply overnight and leave for 8-10 hours. The duration of treatment is 2 weeks, for cancer 3 weeks. In some people, a bandage on the chest can weaken the rhythms of cardiac activity; in this case, apply the bandage every other day.

Conditions for using saline solution

1. Saline solution can only be used in a bandage, but never in a compress, because the bandage must be breathable.

2. The salt concentration in the solution should not exceed 10%. A bandage made from a solution of higher concentration causes pain in the area of application and 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, 10% for adults - 2 teaspoons of table salt per 200 ml of water. You can take ordinary water, not necessarily distilled.

3. Before treatment, wash your body with warm water and soap, and after the procedure, wash off the salt from your 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 should also be clean. For the 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 hygroscopic, well-wetted cotton material - repeatedly washed, not new, not kitchen or starchy, “waffle” towels in 3-4 layers and thin, also well-watered, medical gauze in 8-10 layers, as well as hygroscopic, preferably viscose, cotton wool for tampons.

5. Linen, cotton material, a towel are folded in no more than 4 layers, gauze - up to 8 layers. Only with an air-permeable bandage is tissue fluid suctioned out.

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

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

8. Nothing should be placed on top of the bandage. But in order to secure the bandage soaked in the solution, you need to bandage it tightly enough to the body: with a wide bandage on the torso, stomach, chest, and a narrow bandage on the fingers, hands, feet, face, head.

Bandage the shoulder girdle in a figure eight, through the armpits from the back. In case of pulmonary processes (in case of bleeding, do not apply under any circumstances!) the bandage is placed on the back, trying to get to the sore spot as accurately as possible. The chest should be bandaged tightly, 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 salt (rock and no other) is usually used = 100 g per 1 liter of water. For the treatment of the pancreas liver, 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 Healthy Lifestyle Bulletin (healthy lifestyle No. 17, 2000), indicates that spring, artesian, sea water, especially water containing iodine salts that neutralize table water in the solution, are not suitable for preparing a hypertonic solution.

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

/Here I do not agree, although it is possible to use the above-mentioned quality of water and will give results faster, but it is never worth wasting time. Use clean water as available. Salt itself has a cleansing effect; it consists of the elements of fire and water or fire and earth (black, Himalayan salt)

I used tap water, without filters, for blood poisoning after surgery on the Achilles tendon, and thanks to this I saved my leg. Note A Nepeine/

1. For headaches caused by inflammatory processes, dropsy, swelling of the brain and meninges (meningitis, arachnoiditis), diseases of other organs, for example, influenza, sepsis, typhoid, excessive blood supply from intense mental and physical work, after a stroke, as well as for tumor formations in the brain, a salt bandage in the form of a cap or a wide strip of bandage in 8-10 layers soaked in a 9% solution and slightly squeezed out is applied to the entire (or around) head and must be bandaged over the entire surface of the bandage with one small gauze bandage.

A dry bandage is tied on top, in 2 layers, preferably a cotton or old gauze bandage. The bandage is applied overnight for 8-9 hours until dry, removed in the morning, the bandage material is rinsed well in warm water, and the head is washed off.

In case of cerebral vascular sclerosis, a salt dressing is contraindicated!

2. For runny nose, sinusitis, frontal sinuses, the bandage is made in the form of a gauze strip in 6-7 layers on the forehead (for frontal sinuses), 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, last for 7-8 hours, and are used until healing.

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 heaped teaspoons of salt per faceted glass (250 ml) of water, from the tap.

3. Dental caries is also treated with a gauze strip in 8 layers, soaked in a 10% salt solution for the entire jaw with a diseased tooth and bandaged with 2-3 turns of a small bandage in a circular manner. It is applied overnight, the course of treatment is 1-2 weeks, after which the diseased tooth should be filled.

Caries and periodontal disease can be treated in another way: after dinner, before bed, hold a sip of 10% saline solution in your mouth for 5-7 minutes and spit, after which do not take anything into your mouth. For toothache, even under a crown, this procedure can be repeated several times. For caries complicated by granuloma, as well as for fluxes, a thick cotton swab (preferably viscose) the thickness of a finger, soaked in a 10% solution and squeezed almost dry, can be placed on the gum (behind the cheek). The tampon must be kept in place all night.

If the cavities in the teeth are large enough, you can put cotton swabs soaked in the solution and squeezed out well into them (with a needle, small crooked scissors) and replace them with fresh ones after each meal.

A course of treatment with bandages (on the jaw) externally and tampons for up to 2 weeks, after which the diseased teeth should be filled

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), soaked in a 10% salt solution, applied to the neck, all night, and for headaches in the form of the same strip - and on the head.

Both of these strips (or one common one, extended to 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 arms and the back, and the bandaging is completed on the neck without squeezing the breath.

5. For pneumonia, bronchitis, pleurisy, emphysema, asthma of infectious origin, lung tumors, a bandage with a 10% solution is applied to the entire back, always to the site of the disease, and even to the entire chest (for men) from two “waffle” towels, a layer of applied in two layers, across each one.

One is soaked in a slightly warmed saline solution, lightly squeezed out (the squeezed solution is drunk back into the jar, it does not spoil), the same dry one is applied to the wet one in two layers, and both are bandaged quite tightly, without squeezing the breath, with two large gauze bandages.

The upper half of the back, the shoulder girdle, is bandaged in the form of a transverse figure eight through the armpits of both arms, 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 for inflammatory processes of the lung is 7-10 dressings daily, for tumors - 3 weeks, one of them - daily, the remaining 14 dressings - every other night. These dressings also last 10 hours before drying.

6. For mastopathy, adenoma, cancer of one breast, a bandage with a 9-10% solution is made from one “waffle” towel, folded in 3-4 layers across, with a strip 25 cm wide, always on both breasts. If there is a wound, it is covered with a gauze cloth with a solution in 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 for one to two weeks, tumors - for 3 weeks (the first - daily, the rest - every other night). It is performed at night and lasts 9-10 hours.

7. In case of inflammation of the heart muscle and membranes of the heart (with myocarditis, endocarditis, pericarditis), in a 9% saline solution heated to 70°, only the ends of a strip of “waffle” towel, folded lengthwise in 3 layers, which is thrown over the left shoulder, they cover the heart in front and behind (between the shoulder blades), and these ends are bandaged with one wide gauze bandage around the chest. This dressing is performed at night, every other day, for 2 weeks.

Angina pectoris, coronary artery disease, and heart valve defects are not cured by a saline dressing.

8. When the level of hemoglobin in the blood decreases or due to radiation exposure, the same bandage of 3-4 layers of “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 for these organs is 2 weeks (one - daily, the rest - every other night). During radiation exposure, such a bandage should be applied simultaneously to the neck and thyroid area.

9. For cholecystitis, hepatitis, cirrhosis, gastritis and pancreatitis, the same bandage of a “waffle” towel in 3-4 layers across a strip 25 cm wide, and for dropsy of the abdomen and for the entire abdomen, is performed around the lower half of the chest and the 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, an unpleasant bursting sensation and even a dull pain in the “epistolum” may appear - this thickened bile (under the influence of the dressing) presses on the walls of the gallbladder, lingering in the bladder and ducts .

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

Polyps and tumors, including cancerous ones, of this section, as well as others, are treated with a saline dressing for 3 weeks (one every day, the rest every other night).

The bandage does not cure stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, hernias, scars, adhesions, constipation, volvulus, and does not resolve stones.

10. Inflammation of the intestinal mucosa - enteritis, colitis, appendicitis - a bandage on the entire abdomen at night made of a towel in 3-4 layers successfully treats within one week. For poisoning, for example, from 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 cleared 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, rectal tumors, hemorrhoids, prostatitis, prostate adenomas, inflammation and tumors of the pelvic organs - fibroids, fibroids, cancer of the uterus and ovaries, as well as inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder and hip joints are treated with a saline dressing made from two “waffle” towels.

One, folded in 2 layers along the length, is moistened in a heated 10% solution, squeezed out medium, applied to the pelvic girdle, covered with the same second towel in 2 layers, and both are bandaged quite tightly with two wide gauze bandages.

In the inguinal pits, with one turn of the bandage around the thighs, dense rollers are bandaged, which press the bandage to the body in these recesses, and are secured 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 lower back to the anus in the back.

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

12. Salt dressing also relieves hypertension. If it is caused by a stressful condition in the patient (nervous experience, shock), it is enough to apply 3-4 bandages of towel material in 3-4 layers on the lower back, soaked (and squeezed out) in a 9% saline solution. It should be bandaged with one large bandage.

When your kidneys hurt, for example, pyelonephritis, which also raises your blood pressure, you need to treat your kidneys. In this case, you should apply 10-15 salt dressings on the lower back throughout the night.

If you feel a headache, especially in the occipital region, or tinnitus, simultaneously with bandages on the lower back, apply 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 (knees, ankles, elbows) are 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 above and below by 10-15 cm.

14. Acute pain from burns of small surfaces of the body is removed by a soft 10% saline bandage in 3-4 minutes, but the bandage should be kept for 8-9 hours, after which ointment or open treatment should be applied according to doctor's prescription. I think they will also help with extensive burns.

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

Saline dressing is safe if the recommendations are strictly followed. Failure to comply with them can cause undesirable consequences in the body. For example, a bandage with a salt solution higher than 10 percent concentration, especially with long-term treatment, can itself cause acute pain in the tissues, rupture of capillaries and some other complications.

If you decide to undergo treatment with a saline bandage, first find out from your doctor the nature of your disease.

> How to make saline solution at home

After four dressings, the disease disappeared without a trace.

So, I quoted a newspaper article found on the Internet...

How to prepare an 8-10 percent salt solution

Take 1 liter of boiled, snow or rain water or distilled warm water.
2. Put 90 g of table salt in 1 liter of water (that is, 3 level tablespoons). Stir thoroughly. The result was a 9 percent saline solution.
To get a 10 percent solution, you need, as you understand, 100 grams of salt per 1 liter of water, 8% - 80 grams of salt.

How to make a bandage

1. Take 8 layers of cotton gauze (sold at the pharmacy), pour out part of the solution and hold 8 layers of gauze in it for 1 minute. Squeeze slightly so that it does not leak. Do not squeeze dry, but lightly.
2. Place 8 layers of gauze on the sore spot. Be sure to put a piece of pure lamb wool (wool is breathable). Do this before bed.
3. Important - no cellophane (like in a compress)
4. Bandage everything with cotton - paper cloth or a bandage, without using plastic pads. Keep it until the morning. In the morning, remove everything. And the next night, repeat everything. (At night, it’s easier to keep the bandage on, because you’re sleeping =) and the bandage won’t fall off)

Where to put the bandage

A bandage with saline solution is applied to the projection of the organ

The bandage is soaked in a warm solution

Does saline solution cure almost everything?

This method of treating almost all diseases, including cancer, is so simple that it is hard to believe. Cure cancer in 3 weeks with salt dressings? Sounds like fantasy. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of saline solution for the treatment of many serious diseases has been proven in practice.

The method of treatment with salt dressings (10 percent salt solution) was published in the journal Healthy Lifestyle back in 2002. But pharmaceutical companies are interested in discrediting such a simple and affordable treatment that can replace their expensive drugs.

Nobody will finance the research of such a method of treatment, which is unprofitable for pharmaceutical companies, therefore the saline solution has no chance of being recognized by official medicine. But, thanks to the simplicity and safety of using a 10% saline solution, everyone can try this treatment method for themselves. You just need to know how to prepare a saline solution and for what diseases to use it (in the form of saline dressings or for rinsing). It is also important to know for which diseases saline solution is useless, so as not to waste time and use another method of treatment.

DOES SALT SOLUTION TREAT ALMOST EVERYTHING?

What can be treated with saline solution?

Saline treatment - history.

The practice of using salt dressings became known thanks to the nurse Anna Danilovna Gorbacheva, who worked in field hospitals with the surgeon I. I. Shcheglov during the Second World War. Shcheglov used salt dressings to treat seriously wounded soldiers. Bandages (wipes soaked in saline solution) were applied to dirty, inflamed wounds. After 3-4 days of treatment with salt dressings, the wounds cleared, became pink, the inflammatory processes passed and the elevated temperature dropped. Then a cast was applied and after another 3-4 days the wounded were sent to the rear. Anna said that they had almost no mortality among the wounded.

After the end of the Second World War, the nurse returned to this practice only 10 years later and tried to use it to treat her own teeth. Caries complicated by granuloma resolved after 2 weeks of treatment. Then she began to use saline solution to treat various diseases associated with inflammatory processes in the body (cholecystitis, nephritis, chronic appendicitis, rheumatic carditis, inflammatory processes in the lungs, articular rheumatism, osteomyelitis, abscesses after injection, etc.).

These were isolated cases, but each time Anna received positive results.

Later, while working in a clinic, Anna observed many cases where a bandage with saline solution gave a better effect than all medications. Hematomas, bursitis, chronic appendicitis, and whooping cough were cured using salt dressings.

At the clinic, the surgeon suggested she try a saline solution to treat tumors. Anna’s first patient was a woman with a cancerous mole on her face, who noticed this mole six months ago. Over the course of six months, the mole turned purple, increased in volume, and a gray-brown liquid began to ooze out of it. Anna began making salt stickers for the patient. After the first procedure, the tumor turned pale and decreased. After the second, she became even more pale and shrank, and the discharge stopped. And after the fourth, the mole acquired its original appearance. In five procedures, the treatment was completed without surgery.

Then there was a young girl with a mammary adenoma who had to undergo surgery. Anna advised the girl to apply salt bandages on her chest for several weeks while awaiting surgery. No surgery needed!

Anna recalls many cases of miraculous healing thanks to saline dressings. Among them, a man was cured of prostate adenoma in 9 procedures and a woman was cured of leukemia in 3 weeks.

What does saline treatment help with?

So, here is an incomplete list of diseases for which dressings with saline solution can help (if there is no expected effect from treatment with saline solution, it is recommended to consult a doctor):

It should be borne in mind that no official studies have been conducted on the therapeutic effects of saline solution for the above diseases. And, most likely, it will not be carried out in the near future. Therefore, treat this information as a guess. If you decide to use a saline solution to treat a serious illness, do not neglect examinations during and after treatment, so that, in case of failure, you can use other methods.

Remember that only you are responsible for your own health!

How to make a 10% saline solution for medicinal purposes

Very often, doctors advise their patients to use saline solutions. At the same time, people are wondering how to make a 10% saline solution in order to accurately observe all the necessary proportions and use it for the prevention and treatment of various diseases.

Making a 10% saline solution is very simple if you use a special measuring cup rather than scales and cutlery for this purpose. These are sold in hardware stores. Such cups have the shape of a funnel or cylinder. There are many measuring marks on the sides so that the housewife can easily weigh out the required amount of water, salt, sugar and various bulk substances.

You can make a 10% saline solution using not ordinary table salt, but sea salt.

For medicinal purposes, you can make a 10% saline solution. using different types of salt. But at the same time, you need to remember that fine Extra brand salt contains a larger amount of sodium chloride, so for 1 liter of water you will need 3 level tablespoons of this product.
To make a 10% saline solution perfectly pure, you can pass it through a filter. It is convenient to filter it through cotton wool or gauze folded in several layers.
There is no need to boil the prepared solution, since in this case some of the water will evaporate and the salt concentration will increase.

A salt solution for rinsing the nose is useful even for absolutely healthy people. The use of such a remedy is necessary in order to maintain the normal functioning of the respiratory tract.

How often can I rinse?

It is no secret that a saline solution for rinsing the nose (you can choose any recipe) can dry out the sinuses, so the question of how to use this remedy is the most pressing. In this case, experts recommend using this solution a couple of times a week for prevention.

But in cases where we are talking about the inflammatory process, it is necessary to use such a remedy for two weeks, four times a day. As for people suffering from chronic respiratory system diseases, such procedures should be performed regularly.

The best option would be to consult your doctor. Only he can recommend the exact number of sinus rinses.

We discussed above how to make saline solution for the nose. Now let's talk about the devices for the procedure.

Washing accessories

In order to get the maximum result from such procedures, you should know how to properly rinse the nose of a child and an adult. In other words, how this procedure is performed.

Now there are many special devices that significantly facilitate the process of rinsing the nose, one of these is a vessel in the form of a watering can. In appearance, this container resembles a small teapot with an elongated neck and spout.

The second handy tool, which is also very effective, is a regular pear-shaped syringe. The only condition is careful use of such a device. Because using a syringe can injure your sinuses.

How is the washing procedure performed?

As for washing methods, in this case the following stand out:

It is necessary to lean towards the sink and turn your head slightly to the side, while keeping your mouth open. In that nasal passage, which will be slightly higher in relation to the other, the solution is poured from a watering can. If liquid flows out of the other nostril, then the procedure is being carried out correctly. Then this manipulation is repeated with the other nasal passage.

The second method is to tilt your head back slightly, while holding your breath. Then the solution is poured into one of the sinuses and poured out through the mouth. Do the same with the other nasal passage.

And the third option is to pour the solution into your palms and draw it into your nostrils. There are two ways to get rid of this liquid: pour it back through the nose or mouth. It is worth noting that this method is the simplest and easiest.

The main thing is to know how to prepare saline solution for the nose correctly.

How to wash a child's nose?

The above methods are only relevant for adults, but what to do when a baby needs to rinse his nose? In this case, there is one effective method, which is also very gentle, namely:

the child should be placed on the bed so that he lies on his side;

inject 6 pipettes of solution into each nasal sinus;

Give the baby a few minutes to lie down.

It is worth noting that this method has several disadvantages in the form of the inability to rinse the nose with a stream of solution. And as a result of such washing, the baby will be forced to swallow the entire contents, but at the same time this method is the most optimal and gentle.

Conclusion

Saline solution is a fairly effective method in cases where the infection has settled in the sinuses. The only condition for such a procedure is that the nose should not be stuffy at the time of rinsing. After all, if at least one of the moves does not breathe, then the manipulation will be of no use.

So, in this article we looked at how to prepare a saline solution for rinsing the nose and how to carry out the procedure. Be healthy!

A child's runny nose always brings a lot of trouble to parents. Despite the discomfort caused by a runny nose or nasal congestion, children often refuse treatment. The reason for this behavior is clear to everyone, because rinsing the nose is not the most pleasant procedure. To alleviate the child’s emotional state, especially if they are afraid of medical institutions, the procedure can be carried out at home. In the article we will look at in what cases home washing is indicated, what are the contraindications, how to make the solution and perform the procedure correctly.

For nasal diseases, rinsing with saline solution is recommended, which can be easily done at home.

The benefits of salt for nasal rinsing

The benefits of saline solution, especially homemade one, have been known for decades. The advantages of this method of fighting the runny nose are the availability of ingredients, ease of preparation and use, safety to use even for newborns and the almost complete absence of contraindications.

Saline solution will help in the following situations:

cleansing the nasal cavity from dust and other types of irritants;
strengthening capillaries and stimulating cell function;
disinfection of the nasal cavity;
removal of swelling.

Nasal rinsing is used for accumulation of snot caused by a variety of reasons:

rhinitis in acute and chronic forms;
sinusitis;
inflammation of the adenoids;
throat diseases.

Saline solutions are used to treat mucus accumulation in the nasal passages

Also, the use of saline solution is important when it is necessary to moisturize the nasal mucosa, for prevention during the cold season or when in contact with allergens. This procedure is safe even with regular, frequent use. It will help not only normalize the functioning of the nose, but also relieve migraines, fatigue, insomnia, and depression.

The combination of rinsing with the use of vasoconstrictors will be especially effective. This treatment will quickly relieve nasal congestion and runny nose, and the effect will last as long as possible.

When is the procedure contraindicated?

Despite all the advantages of this treatment method, the procedure is not suitable for everyone. Contraindications include:

private nosebleeds;
blockages and polyps in the nasal cavity;
allergic reactions;
deviated nasal septum;
inflammatory processes in the auditory organs.

There are very few contraindications to the procedure of rinsing the nose with saline solution, but they exist

As you can see, the list of contraindications is small. However, even in their absence, the procedure must be performed strictly following the technique and dosage. Otherwise, serious harm to health may occur.

The best salt solution recipes for children

Preparing a saline solution is not a labor-intensive process. However, do not forget that any treatment must be agreed with the attending physician. Below we will look at several popular recipes with which you can make an effective nasal rinse at home:

Boil 0.5 liters of clean water, add a teaspoon of sea salt. Stir thoroughly until the crystals completely disappear and cool. If you don’t have sea salt on hand, you can use table salt, but you also need to add a couple of drops of iodine.
Bring a glass of water to a boil, add a tablespoon of sea salt. Boil the solution for about 3 minutes. This remedy is used only for prevention.
Take a liter of distilled water and completely dissolve a tablespoon of salt in it. Stir until the crystals disappear completely.
Pour 0.5 liters of boiled water into a deep bowl. Dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda and salt in it. This solution is suitable for use using the “cuckoo” method.

The saline solution is prepared easily and quickly, the main thing is to follow the proportions

It is necessary to carefully monitor the proportions when preparing nasal rinses. A too concentrated substance can harm the mucous membrane, and a weak one simply will not bring any benefit. You need to be especially careful when using this method of dealing with runny noses in children.

It is not enough to simply prepare a solution and drop it into your child. This procedure must be carried out in compliance with special rules. The technique for rinsing the sinuses differs in children of different ages. For newborn babies, there are much more rules for using this product than for preschoolers. Therefore, before use, you must carefully listen to your doctor’s recommendations.

How to rinse a baby's nose?

Rinsing the nose of an infant has several nuances. The usual procedure, which involves administering a saline solution under pressure, is contraindicated for children. It can provoke otitis media. To relieve the child's condition, you can only use a pipette, nasal aspirator or douche spray.

Children under one year of age need to treat a runny nose in compliance with a number of rules:

all procedures are carried out only after agreement with the pediatrician;
You can only use ready-made saline solution or 0.9% saline solution;
if you decide to prepare the product at home, then you need to use only boiled water;
the rinsing liquid should be warm enough - about 37 degrees;
You need to rinse your nose regularly, remembering to clear it of mucus before going to bed and feeding;
during rinsing, the baby should not have anything foreign in his mouth - no nipples, no bottles;
The procedure is carried out lying down, the child's head should be elevated.

Do not be afraid of the baby’s violent reaction, especially if you do not interrupt treatment. Coughing and crying are a natural reaction. Only regular washing will help quickly get rid of the disease and prevent the development of complications.

Washing rules for children over 2 years old

For older children, you can use a syringe or douche. These instruments are sold at any pharmacy. You can rinse the nose of a child from 2 to 4 years old by following the following algorithm:

Prepare a solution for rinsing the nose at a comfortable temperature in advance.
Take the product into a syringe or bulb.
Place the child in front of a sink or bathtub and tilt his head slightly forward.
Carefully insert the tip of the instrument into the nasal passage and apply the product with slight pressure. Repeat the procedure for the second nostril.

You can rinse the nose of older children in another way:

lay the child on his back, tilt his head back a little;
if you have difficulty breathing, pour the solution into one nostril - it will come out through the mouth;
repeat the procedure for the second sinus.

Saline solution for rinsing the nose should be in every home. After all, this simple remedy not only perfectly helps with any type of runny nose, but also perfectly complements daily hygiene procedures.

And if we also take into account the fact, that it has virtually no contraindications , then this brings it to the forefront in the treatment of most diseases of the ENT organs.

Rinsing the nose with salt: indications

The procedure for rinsing the nasal cavity in medicine is called irrigation therapy, or simply irrigation. It has a wide range of indications, is safe and effective. The disadvantages of such manipulations are only the occurrence of minor discomfort from liquid getting into the nose, but the advantages can be listed endlessly.

But, the main thing is that irrigation can be done at home without fear for patients of any age, without prior consultation with a doctor and in almost any situation, with the exception of a few rare pathologies.

A water-salt solution for the nose is used to quickly and efficiently cleanse the nasal passages of snot accumulations.

Therefore, its use is indicated for all kinds of ailments accompanied by a runny nose or rhinorrhea:

acute or chronic rhinitis of a viral, allergic or bacterial nature;
any types of sinusitis;
adenoiditis;
acute inflammatory diseases of the throat, etc.

It is also indispensable when you need to moisturize the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity, which is especially important:

during the heating season, when the heat from the radiators significantly dries out the air;
when caring for an infant;
to prevent the development of viral diseases during the epidemic season and to prevent the occurrence of an allergic reaction after accidental contact with an allergen, because the liquid washes away all allergens, viral particles, etc. from the surface of the mucous membrane;
for people working with dusty substances, etc.

Although the effect of the procedure does not last long (depending on the degree of activity of the causative agent of the disease and environmental conditions), it can be performed regularly and thereby help the nose function normally, whether during illness or when forced to stay in unfavorable conditions.

Unexpectedly, the manipulation will benefit from:

headaches and migraines;
vision problems;
fatigue;
insomnia;
stress and depression;
most serious pathologies of the respiratory system, etc.

In addition, often with rhinitis of various origins, accompanied by mild nasal congestion, otolaryngologists advise doing irrigation before instilling vasoconstrictor drugs.

Thanks to this, excess mucus is removed from the surface of the mucous membranes, and the medicine administered afterwards can have a more pronounced therapeutic effect.

Saline solutions: an overview

Today, getting a sea salt solution for rinsing the nasal passages is not difficult. You can buy saline solutions produced by pharmaceutical companies at the pharmacy:

Aqualor;
Aquamaris;
Dolphin;

However, you can prepare a saline solution at home yourself and use it with no less effectiveness instead of Aquamaris or any other ready-made pharmaceutical.

And although today there are heated debates on all kinds of forums about which saline solution is better, one thing can definitely be stated: the principle of action for both pharmacy and home remedies is the same.
Source: nasmorkam.net They differ only in ease of use and irrigation area, but with some skill you can achieve no less effect using improvised means.

By the way, many people buy nasal rinse systems once, for example Dolphin or Aquamaris, and then use them with saline solution or home remedies.

Saline solution for rinsing the nose: preparation

The recipe for how to prepare such a remedy is extremely simple. It is enough to dissolve 2 tsp in 1 liter of boiled water. salt.

It is better to choose sea salt for these purposes, but be sure to check that it does not contain any flavors, preservatives, dyes, fragrances or other chemicals.

Although, in the absence of one, an ordinary kitchen one will do. The water should be warm, but not hot. This will greatly help in how to dilute salt for rinsing the nose.

But we draw your attention to the fact that the preparation of the product does not end there. It must be strained through a fine sieve or gauze to eliminate all the tiny undissolved particles and pebbles that can injure delicate mucous membranes. The temperature of the resulting liquid should range between 25–30°C.

This saline solution is recommended for irrigation in adults. Children will need a less concentrated product. We'll talk further about how to prepare it.

To give your homemade medicine anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and bactericidal properties, you can add additional components to it.

For example, a combination of salt, soda, iodine is often used. This combination of common products found in every kitchen helps not only eliminate snot, but also prevents the proliferation of pathogens, that is, it produces a pronounced therapeutic effect.

The product is prepared from 1 tsp. salt and regular baking soda, 1 drop of iodine, as well as a liter of clean warm water. Don't forget to strain!

A solution of salt and soda helps:

relieve swelling of the mucous membrane;
get rid of viscous mucus, dust and bacteria settling in the nose;
reduce the severity of the inflammatory process.

How to properly rinse your nose with saline solution

Surprisingly, you need to know how to rinse your nose with salt water. After all, incorrect implementation of irrigation therapy in case of illness is fraught with the spread of infection.

But if with pharmaceutical preparations everything is simple: you just need to tilt your head to the side over the sink and spray the product one by one into each nostril, then with homemade ones you will have to work a little more.

For irrigation the following are used:

Syringe for 10 or 20 cubes without a needle

Syringe (bulb) with rubber tip

Special or small teapot

Whatever device you choose, you should adhere to the following rules:

Before carrying out the manipulation, you need to blow your nose thoroughly.
You will need at least 1 cup of liquid to rinse each nostril. The solution is injected only by tilting the head to the shoulder, into the upper nostril.
It is best to conduct sessions over a bathtub or sink.
An indicator of the correctness of the manipulation is the flow of fluid from the lower nostril.
After washing, it is recommended not to go outside and avoid drafts for at least an hour.
If the condition worsens after irrigation, you should contact an ENT specialist.

Do not hold your breath, as this can lead to water entering the respiratory tract and ear canals.

For different diseases, the tactics and methodology of the procedure may differ slightly.

For a runny nose

Water with salt for a runny nose will also be useful if the patient suffers from rhinitis of any etiology, that is, microorganisms have affected only the nose, it is enough to rinse using the above method. That is, tilting your head first to one side and then to the other.

If the liquid does not flow out of the lower nostril, this indicates that the procedure was performed incorrectly and one of the rules was violated.

For sinusitis

When a patient is diagnosed with sinusitis or has all the symptoms indicating the development of this disease, care should be taken to thoroughly cleanse the affected paranasal sinuses. For this:

The head is tilted slightly forward, one of the nostrils is closed with a finger and the mouth is opened slightly.
By inserting the tip of the selected device into the opposite nasal passage and applying it either by pressure on the piston or bulb, or by tilting the kettle, they draw the liquid into themselves.
If carried out correctly, the solution will flow down the surface of the nasopharynx, carrying with it mucus from the maxillary sinuses along with pathogenic microorganisms, and flow out of the mouth.

Tilt your head back a little, open your mouth slightly and stick out your tongue.
The product is administered alternately into each of the nasal passages.
After the liquid enters the mouth, it is immediately spit out.

Such techniques are suitable exclusively for treating adults. After the procedure, you should blow your nose.

Rinsing the nose for sinusitis at home.

The most common and effective method of therapy is washing the nasal sinuses with a variety of solutions.

During pregnancy

If a runny nose occurs, pregnant women can resort to irrigation therapy and not worry at all about whether it is harmful.

Moreover, this is often the only way that expectant mothers can use to alleviate their condition, since most modern pharmaceuticals are contraindicated for use during such a crucial period.

How to make a saline solution for rinsing a child's nose

In particular, the ears due to the anatomical features of infants. Available in drop form:

However, you can also use a saline solution or a homemade salt water solution. But it needs to be administered to the baby using a pipette, a few drops into each nostril. When treating older children, it is allowed to use sprays.

If we talk about how to create a saline solution for children, then for this you should dissolve ¼ tsp in 200 ml of boiled water. sea or table salt. The product prepared in this proportion is usually suitable for children.

Sometimes the mucous membranes of children are hypersensitive. In such situations, small patients may complain of tingling in the nose, which is a sign of excessive salt concentration.

Then you should immediately dilute the existing solution with additional water, and then use less of the selected salt or increase the volume of water.

More problems arise not in how to properly prepare a sea solution, but in how to rinse children's noses. If you decide to treat with saline solutions from a pharmacy, then each of them comes with detailed instructions , which should be read carefully and the dose and frequency of use should be observed.

Home remedies are administered 2-3 drops into each nasal passage of the baby and 20-50 ml are poured into children over 1 year old. But they are afraid of dropping an extra drop, holding your finger on the spray nozzle or pouring in too much of the product you prepared yourself is not worth it, since it is impossible to overdose.

To carry out the manipulation, infants should:

Suck out the mucus using an aspirator or bulb.
Lay the child on his side.
Hold his head and drip the drug into the upper nostril.
Then wipe off the remaining product, if necessary, pick up the child and calm him down.
Manipulate with the second nostril.

Under no circumstances should you wash with your head thrown back!

Rinsing the nose with salt in children who have already passed the infancy period can be done in a sitting, standing or lying position, depending on the preferences of the baby.

Many people are interested in whether it is possible to carry out such manipulations, for example, when body temperature rises? Absolutely yes. Fever is not a contraindication for irrigation therapy.

How often can you rinse your nose with salt?

Irrigation can be done quite often. Typically, otolaryngologists recommend performing them from 3 to 8 times a day, which depends on the goal pursued (treatment or prevention), the severity of the disease and the age of the patient. For children, 3-4 times are enough, but adults, especially with sinusitis, may need to carry out the procedure more often.

At the same time, there are no restrictions on the duration of therapy. But often 1–2 weeks are enough for complete recovery.

However, you should definitely consider whether there is harm from rinsing. Although the procedure is quite harmless, it is not recommended to resort to it without prior consultation with an otolaryngologist if:

the presence of tumors of various nature in the nose;
weakness of the vessels of the ENT organs;
very severe swelling of the nasal mucosa.

Marina: I always use only saline solutions to treat a runny nose. It's cheap and cheerful.

Katerina: We first learned that such solutions exist only when a newborn baby appeared in the house. I watched the story where E. O. Komarovsky gave the recipe. I tried it, my daughter really felt better after instilling it. That’s why we adopted it and now the whole family uses it.

Nina: I always use a mixture with iodine, it helps especially well with green snot. I didn't notice any side effects.

We take salt for granted as a necessary seasoning for dishes. Meanwhile, this substance, important in cooking, is a healer, a magical protector and an assistant in the household.

For treatment, salt is often used in dissolved form. The methods have a number of nuances that you definitely need to know about. For example, how do you make a 10 percent saline solution if you don’t have chemical measuring spoons or beakers at home? How much salt and water should I take? Let's look at simple options for preparing medicinal solutions.

What salt is needed to prepare medicine?

Before preparing a 10% saline solution, you need to carefully study the recipe. What substance does it mention? If it is table salt, then the packages that indicate:

kitchen salt;
sodium chloride;
table salt;
rock salt.

The word “salt” is used in everyday life, although this term refers to many complex substances formed by metal ions or atoms and acidic residues. In addition to sodium chloride, Epsom salt - magnesium sulfate - is used for medicinal purposes. Substances are extracted during the development of deposits in the earth's crust.

If you evaporate sea water, you get sea salt, which contains sodium, magnesium, iodine, chloride, sulfate ions and other components. The properties of such a mixture differ somewhat from the individual substances. Typically, a 1–10% saline solution of sodium chloride is prepared to treat wounds, sore throats, and teeth. The chemical formula of a compound that has amazing properties is NaCl.

What should be the degree of purity of the components?

How to make a 10 percent saline solution at home so that the medicine does good and not harm the body? Salt should also be as pure as possible, but salt purchased at the Kamennaya store is often contaminated with impurities. There is a purer finely ground product.

Some recipes recommend using snow or rain water, but this is a bad idea from the point of view of modern ecology. The purity of the liquid that flows in drinking water supply systems also raises many complaints. It, like snow and rain, can be contaminated with chlorine, iron, phenol, petroleum products, and nitrates. Let us clarify that distilled or demineralized water is used as a solvent in medicine. At home, you can use filtered or boiled water to prepare the solution.

If you put plastic molds with water in the freezer, the clean water will freeze first, and impurities will accumulate at the bottom. Without waiting for complete freezing, you need to collect the ice from the surface and melt it. The result will be very clean and healthy water.

How to measure the mass of salt and the volume of water to prepare a solution?

Everything you need should be collected in advance, before making a 10% saline solution. You will need water, a beaker, a bag of salt, scales, a glass and a spoon (table, dessert or tea) for the work. The photo below will help you determine the mass of salt contained in a dessert spoon and a teaspoon.

Then you need to decide on the units of measurement for the liquid. It is believed that the mass of 100 ml of pure fresh water is equal to 100 g (fresh water density is 1 g/ml). Liquids can be measured with a beaker; if you don’t have one, then an ordinary glass of those called “faceted” will do. Filled to the top, it contains 200 ml of water (or g). If you pour to the very top, you get 250 ml (250 g).

What does the expression “10 percent solution” mean?

The concentration of substances is usually expressed in several ways. The most commonly used quantity in medicine and everyday life is the weight percentage. It shows how many grams of a substance are contained in 100 g of solution. For example, if a recipe states that a 10% saline solution is used, then every 100 g of such a preparation contains 10 g of the dissolved substance.

Let's say you need to prepare 200 g of a 10% salt solution. Let's carry out simple calculations that don't take much time:

100 g of solution contains 10 g of substance; 200 g of solution contains x g of substance.
x = 200 g x 10 g: 100 g = 20 g (salt).
200 g – 20 g = 180 g (water).
180 g x 1 g/ml = 180 ml (water).

How to prepare a 10% saline solution?

If you have scales and a beaker in your house, then it is better to measure the mass of salt and the volume of water with their help. You can also take a full teaspoon and pour a glass of water up to the mark, but such measurements are prone to inaccuracies.

How to make a 10% saline solution to make 100 g of the drug? You should weigh out 10 g of solid sodium chloride, pour 90 ml of water into a glass and pour salt into the water, stirring with a spoon until dissolved. Mix salt with warm or cold water, and then heat the dishes with the ingredients. For better cleansing, the finished solution is passed through a ball of cotton wool (filtered).

You can prepare 50 g of a 10% solution from 45 ml of water and 5 g of salt. Hypertonic saline solution is made from 1 liter of water and 100 g of sodium chloride (4 tablespoons “without top”).

Treatment with 10% saline solution

In medicine, a 0.9% solution of salts is prepared using fresh distilled water, which is called “physiological”. This liquid is isotonic with respect to the internal environment of the human body (has the same concentration). It is used during various medical procedures, in particular as a blood substitute, to eliminate the effects of dehydration and intoxication.

A hypertonic solution contains more salt; when it comes into contact with an isotonic or hypotonic liquid, it attracts water until the concentrations equalize. This osmotic effect is used in folk recipes to cleanse wounds of pus. Salt has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties; its hypertonic solutions are used in alternative medicine:

for diseases of internal organs - in the form of a salt bandage on the source of pain;
as lotions, compresses and applications for skin and other infections;
as salt baths for fatigue and pain in the hands and feet;
to cleanse purulent wounds.

Treatment with hypertonic 10% saline will take time and may take several days or weeks. The minimum number of procedures is 4–7. For sore throat, use a 3-5% hypertonic solution for gargling in the morning and evening. The nasal cavity is washed with an isotonic solution. To prepare it, you need to add 1.2 g of sodium chloride and 2.5 g of baking soda to 237 ml of boiled water.
