If we compare medicine of the 19th and 21st centuries, then we can say that for several centuries the best minds of mankind have made a real breakthrough, and have created many useful techniques, medicines and adaptations that successfully preserve people's lives.
However, there is one way of treatment that has remained since the 19th century, and to this day there is no substitute for it - this is the well-known iodine grid. People who are far from medicine, who are in good health, are familiar with it, most likely because of the doctor's recommendation to do an iodine grid on the area where the injections were made. But in fact, this benefit of iodine mesh is far from being limited - let's find out in detail how to do it properly, why it is needed and why it is so useful in treatment.
Benefits of iodine mesh
Speaking about the benefits of iodine, you can touch the most diverse areas of life, up to the production of batteries. But, of course, in society iodine is best known as a 5% alcohol solution. With the help of which, wounds and bruises are treated for disinfection and restoration of tissues.
Helping the body with iodine, if applied externally, is that ionized molecules quickly penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate blood flow.
Once upon a time, they knew about the beneficial properties of iodine, but could not use them correctly, and this led to burns, because this substance has a local irritant effect. This action is based on the use of iodine mesh with bruises: the capillaries expand and this prevents stagnant processes.
Iodine is also an excellent antiseptic, which is why it is often included in the treatment of respiratory diseases. Because of the heating effect, iodine is used for hypothermia, coughing and runny nose .
Iodine mesh for colds
Iodine mesh when coughing is very effective: it has a similar effect, like hot compresses - mustard plasters, for example, but weaker and longer lasting action. When coughing, iodine mesh is recommended to be applied 1 or 2 times a day for a week on the back and chest area in the bronchial region and combine it with other warming procedures.
At elevated temperature, you need to be cautious about this method of treatment, but at the same time, unlike hot compresses and steaming, it can be done at subfebrile temperature.
With a cold, iodine mesh is applied to the heels and calves: this helps to warm the feet, which is very important in the treatment of the common cold.
Iodine with bruises and bruises
The most popular use of iodine in bruising is the application of iodine mesh after injections. With prolonged injection treatment, the tissue in the muscles does not have time to recover - bruises are formed, and this area again has to be traumatized by the following injections. In order to restore tissues more quickly, and the so-called "bumps" dissolve, iodine mesh is used, applying it daily throughout the treatment and after it ends until the "bumps" dissolve. It is important to do this in order to prevent the formation of an abscess.
Iodine in joint diseases
In folk medicine with the help of iodine mesh treat inflamed joints, lubricating these areas after steaming.
How do iodine mesh?
Before drawing an iodine grid, make sure that you do not have contraindications to the use of iodine: this substance is remarkably absorbed through the skin into the body, and quantitatively this is equivalent to its use inside.
Before you make an iodine net, cleanse the skin. Then apply with a cotton swab a grid with squares of 1 on 1 cm.
Contraindications to the use of iodine mesh
The use of iodine and iodine mesh is categorically contraindicated for people with thyroid disease and allergic reaction to the substance.
Iodine is part of thyroid hormones, which are produced by the thyroid gland, and its use in a number of cases (in the presence of impaired thyroid function) can lead to serious consequences.
