Turpentine baths for the face. Capillary turpentine baths for pregnant women

  • 20.05.2019

in the practice of our medical center, there are often patients with different stages of pregnancy who want to take turpentine baths either for any disease or to maintain their good health. They turn to us with the same question: "Is it possible to take capillary turpentine baths during pregnancy?" We always answer them that we see no contraindications for the use

yellow, white or mixed capillary baths at any stage of pregnancy. Turpentine baths can neither theoretically nor practically have any negative side effects neither on the body of the pregnant woman herself, nor on her embryo or fetus. For what harm can be to the body of a pregnant woman and the body of her embryo (fetus) from such therapeutic and prophylactic agents that only improve blood circulation in the capillaries, metabolism and the function of self-regulation of all physiological processes in a living organism?
There is another very strong argument in favor of the use of turpentine baths in many diseases that occur during pregnancy. Since almost all medicines for internal use, especially of synthetic origin, are contraindicated during pregnancy (read, dear readers, instructions for their use), pregnant women have practically nothing to treat various diseases that they had before pregnancy or occurred during its course. Manufacturers of pharmaceutical products - xenobiotics, after conducting the required tests, including on laboratory animals, establish a toxic or, even worse, teratogenic effect on the embryos (fetuses) of experimental animals, and after that they have only one thing left - to honestly write in the instructions for their use drugs that they are contraindicated in pregnant women.
In this case, turpentine baths with our gum tonics are that reliable "straw", and thick enough, which pregnant women can grab and hold on to at any stage of pregnancy.
I know cases where yellow turpentine baths with our Gum tonics were used by women who had just become pregnant to induce miscarriage. Despite the persistent use of such baths, and with the highest temperature for them, they could not achieve their goal - a miscarriage. Although, on the one hand, capillary baths increase blood circulation, and this, it would seem, can contribute to the failure of pregnancy, on the other hand, increased blood circulation in the capillaries of the endometrium and the entire uterus will rather increase its functions and, accordingly, strengthen the fetal egg, which is attached to the endometrium.
Pregnant women can use all three types of capillary baths in accordance with the diseases they want to treat. That is, if a pregnant woman, for example, has a cold, then she can use yellow baths or mixed baths to cleanse her body.

Dear readers, today I want to tell you about unique baths for healing our body. Have you heard of turpentine baths? If not, then I strongly advise you to pay attention to them. They were first used by the famous doctor Alexander Solomonovich Zalmanov. It is in his honor that such baths are named. Perhaps you have heard the information about Zalmanov's baths.

I myself first learned about such baths a long time ago, when I often visited sanatoriums with my daughter. And almost every time the doctor recommended me to take a course of such baths. Today I will share with you information about the benefits of Zalmanov's turpentine baths, indications and contraindications, and how to use them correctly.

It's no secret that the body modern man heavily slagged due to proper nutrition, poor ecology, poor-quality products and water, and as a result, various health problems arise. And just turpentine baths are one of the methods of cleaning our body. It is no coincidence that they are so widely used in sanatoriums.

Gum turpentine and other biologically active substances that are part of the baths, in combination with heat, break down complex harmful substances and through the expanded pores of the skin, by the force of increased blood flow and lymph flow, they are removed from the body. The benefits of turpentine baths are not limited to cleansing the body, the mechanism of their action is rather complicated, and today, dear readers, we will talk about what benefits they bring, what problems they solve and who are contraindicated.

Gum turpentine

To have an idea about the composition of baths, I will talk a little about its main component - about gum turpentine. This is an absolutely natural remedy, obtained from resin using special technologies. coniferous trees, in particular from Siberian fir. It has analgesic, disinfectant, irritating properties. It is used both independently and as part of an emulsion for therapeutic baths.

Turpentine baths. Health and Beauty Benefits

Before talking in more detail about the benefits of turpentine baths, I want to warn you that they are not suitable for everyone, and you need to consult a specialist before taking them. This is very important, because any, even the most natural remedy, can be harmful.

Turpentine baths expand the smallest vessels, thereby providing organs human body nutrition, delivering, together with the blood flow, the necessary oxygen and substances necessary for life. As a result, the functioning of tissues, organs and the whole organism as a whole improves.

The benefits of turpentine baths do not appear immediately, but each time the person who takes them begins to feel their beneficial effects. Gradually, under the influence of turpentine baths, the body self-purifies, but in addition, the body is saturated with micro and macro elements, defenses increase, working capacity and physical endurance noticeably increase, the functions of the endocrine and nervous systems are restored, the body literally becomes younger.

Let's summarize. So, the benefits of turpentine baths:

  • Strengthening metabolic processes,
  • Increasing vitality,
  • stress relief,
  • Improvement of capillary blood flow,
  • They have a bactericidal effect,
  • Pain-relieving action.
  • The body heals itself.
  • The skin is toned.
  • Effective for weight loss and fighting cellulite.

Turpentine baths according to Zalmanov

Dr. Zalmanov proved on his numerous patients that under the influence of turpentine baths, the body begins the process of self-regulation and self-purification, producing its own hormones, enzymes, biologically active substances, forcing the immune system to cope with the problems of the body on its own. Under the influence of hot water, turpentine and other components used for baths, each cell of our body receives a powerful boost of energy, thereby all organs and systems are healed.

Zalmanov, based on gum turpentine, created unique emulsions for the treatment and prevention of many diseases. There are two types of emulsions for preparing a bath, yellow and white, in addition to turpentine, other components are also included in their composition, at one time it was difficult to buy them, you had to prepare them yourself according to Dr. Zalmanov's recipes, now they are sold in pharmacies and are affordable. Let's take a look at what their difference is.

White turpentine baths

White turpentine baths are suitable for those who have low blood pressure, they significantly expand the capillaries, thereby increasing blood pressure, improving blood circulation in all organs, increasing metabolism. The composition of the white emulsion, in addition to gum turpentine, includes salicylic acid, camphor alcohol and baby soap. Salicylic acid has a bactericidal and irritating effect, and taking such a bath, you can feel a slight burning sensation of the skin.

Yellow turpentine baths

The yellow emulsion contains turpentine, castor oil, sodium hydroxide and oleic acid. Yellow baths lower blood pressure, they warm up the whole body, increase perspiration, improve the functioning of the venous and arterial circulatory system, and stimulate the removal of toxins from the body. Due to the expansion of pores and increased sweating, blood vessels, joints, tendons are cleansed, excess uric acid is removed, and people with sore joints feel significant relief.

Mixed turpentine baths

There are also mixed turpentine baths, when white and yellow emulsions are mixed, complementing each other. Such baths have all the useful properties of both white and yellow emulsions, they do not significantly affect blood pressure and are shown to more people.

What type of turpentine bath to choose?

Everything is very individual, only the doctor will ask you all the questions and recommend what kind of bath is right for you. It will also help you choose the right solution or emulsion.

Turpentine baths Zalmanov. Indications

Turpentine baths in the absence of contraindications are recommended for many diseases, this

  • diseases of the stomach and intestines, such as gastritis, gastroduodenitis, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, hepatitis, pancreatitis, colitis;
  • bronchitis, tracheitis, pleurisy, bronchial asthma;
  • endocrine diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypothyroidism, thyrotoxicosis, autoimmune thyroiditis;

  • neurodermatitis, psoriasis and other serious skin problems.

Here is a very interesting and very detailed video about Zalmanov's turpentine baths. Here you can hear all the recommendations of doctors, patient reviews about taking such baths.

Turpentine baths for weight loss

Separately, I want to say about the benefits of turpentine baths for people who want to get rid of excess weight, because this problem worries many and people are ready to starve or go on strict diets, just to get rid of a few kilograms. With the help of baths, there is a gradual splitting and removal of excess fats from the body, as the metabolism is restored, the hormonal background returns to normal, blood circulation and lymph outflow improve. Thus, they are very effective for fighting cellulite.

You can’t rely only on baths if you want to lose weight, without physical activity and proper nutrition, the desired effect will not be achieved.

What you need to know before taking turpentine baths?

  • As I said, before taking turpentine baths, you need to talk to a doctor who knows your illnesses and can help in choosing the right bath emulsion.
  • It is important to sit for a week or two on a diet, eliminating fatty, spicy, salty, smoked, fried foods, reducing meat intake and adding more vegetables and fruits to your diet. And it is recommended to drink more clean water and monitor the work of the intestines, and, of course, exclude alcohol. After such cleaning, you can begin to improve with turpentine baths.
  • It is best if you take a course of such baths for the first time in a sanatorium, and then you will already know the reaction of your body, ask the doctor for the exact dosage and then continue the course of such baths at home.

How to take turpentine baths at home?

  • It is recommended to take turpentine baths no earlier than two hours after eating any food.
  • The bath is filled with water to about half the volume with a temperature of 36 - 37 degrees, 20 grams of a white or yellow emulsion is diluted in about a liter of water and poured into the bath. If you are preparing a mixed bath, it is recommended to take 10 grams of white and yellow emulsion for one bath, which are pre-mixed with a liter of water. It is better to start with a small dosage, 15 grams per bath. This is one tablespoon.
  • Before immersing in water, you need to lubricate especially sensitive places on the body with a greasy cream or petroleum jelly, usually they react by pinching the armpits and groin areas.
  • On the first day, it is recommended to take a bath for no more than five minutes, then add one minute every day and bring it up to 15 minutes. The temperature of the water must be maintained by adding hot water, so you will need a water thermometer. If you take a yellow bath, then the temperature of the water can be increased to 39 degrees with good tolerance.
  • Be sure to monitor your well-being, if there are unpleasant or painful sensations in the region of the heart, shortness of breath appears or an increase in heart rate, the procedure should be stopped and consult a doctor. Perhaps you just need to reduce the amount of emulsion or lower the temperature of the water.
  • After a turpentine bath, it is not recommended to wipe the body, you need to wrap yourself in a sheet and lie down in bed, well covered. It is best to do this procedure in the evening, but in any case, you need to spend at least three hours in bed after a bath. It is considered correct if after the bath you will feel a slight perspiration.

What course of turpentine baths is the most optimal for health?

Usually, 10 or 12 procedures are prescribed for a course, which are carried out either daily or at intervals of one to two days, this usually depends on the severity of the disease.

Let's watch another video on how to take turpentine baths at home.

Turpentine baths. Contraindications

Of course, there are contraindications to taking turpentine baths, and ideally they should be taken under supervision in sanatoriums or special balneological centers, but not everyone has such an opportunity, and after consulting a doctor, such baths can be taken at home, but considering that they are contraindicated in the following cases:

  • exacerbation of any chronic diseases;
  • increased body temperature;
  • pregnancy;
  • oncological diseases;
  • cirrhosis of the liver;
  • tuberculosis;
  • heart failure;
  • arrhythmia;
  • intracranial pressure;
  • skin diseases in the acute phase.

Hypertensive patients and people with low blood pressure can take turpentine baths only after stabilization of blood pressure. If a person has suffered a heart attack, then he should not take baths for six months, and in the future only with the permission of the attending physician.

My review on the use of turpentine baths

I took several courses of such baths in a sanatorium. I took white baths. The first two courses went great. But in the third year I had such a burning sensation of the skin, I could not continue to take such baths. The doctor and I decided to take a break, and then switched to yellow baths. They fit me better. The general tone was excellent, overall health improved, the skin was beautiful, especially to the touch, there was such lightness. I have always lost 1-2 kg for sure, or even more. And this is under the regime of a sanatorium ... I smile. You understand, relaxation is such, food is always excellent. But the truth is, I always went to training - at least exercise therapy, often exercise equipment, at least a little and walking. And then there were pains in the legs due to varicose veins. They left too. I really liked the effect. But then again, I always say that it is best to avoid trouble, the first course of baths to spend under the supervision of a doctor.

My spiritual gift for today will be Ginzburg - Fantasia on the Theme of Figaro's Cavatina from Rossini's The Barber of Seville performed by Denis Matsuev. I think you will enjoy.

I wish you all health, preservation of beauty and youth, joy of life and spiritual fulfillment.

1. You can clean according to Zalmanov with yellow or white turpentine - do it yourself or buy ready-made solutions.

Turpentine baths Zalmanov

Dr. Zalmanov, thinking broadly and extraordinary, managed to prove that most of the health problems are the result of capillary clogging. Back in 1904, he suggested using essential oil obtained from pine resin (turpentine). This is how Zalmanov's turpentine baths appeared in the practice of treatment and rehabilitation. Carrying out procedures for the treatment of a variety of diseases, many patients noticed that turpentine baths also noticeably tighten and rejuvenate the skin, and also get rid of excess body fat.

The mechanism of action of Zalmanov baths

Pine resin essential oil provides a warming, stimulating and antibacterial effect. The turpentine composition, dissolved in water, opens the capillaries and restores the blood supply to the body, thereby saturating all organs with oxygen, activating metabolic processes and facilitating the removal of carbon dioxide and decay products from the body. For the treatment and cleansing of the body, a yellow solution of turpentine and a white emulsion from it are used (you can buy them ready-made). A combination of these formulations is also used.

A yellow solution is prepared from gum turpentine (50%), caustic soda, castor oil (20%), oleic acid (15%) and water (13.4%)

The white emulsion is prepared from gum turpentine (45%), ground baby soap, salicylic acid, willow bark extract and water (50%)

After the procedure, wrap yourself in terry towel and lie down a little under the covers - this will noticeably enhance the effect

Warm herbal tea with honey will not be superfluous

To prevent an unpleasant burning sensation, the genitals should be lubricated with petroleum jelly or baby cream.

The duration of the procedure is usually limited to the moment when perspiration appears on the forehead.

Do not wash the body after the procedure - this will cancel the effect

During the procedure, old diseases may worsen and acne may appear - this indicates the launch of the cleansing mechanism.

You can not immerse your head in the bath, you should also avoid getting the solution in your eyes

The duration of the course of treatment is 35-40 procedures performed daily or every other day

With sensitive skin, you can reduce the concentration of the composition, and after the procedure, you need to lubricate the body with oil or cream

Turpentine baths should be done in the evening a couple of hours before bedtime (2 hours after eating)

The composition must first be dissolved in a separate container (2 tsp per 1-2 liters of hot water with t 60-70 degrees), mix thoroughly and pour into the bath

Yellow turpentine baths

They are indicated if the blood pressure exceeds 140 mm Hg / st. The water temperature in this case should reach 40-42ºС. The initial proportion is 2 tsp. to the bath. Subsequent procedures allow you to increase this number. Yellow baths reduce pressure, dilate capillaries, increase body temperature, increase sweating (sodium chloride and urea are washed out with sweat, usually up to 2 liters of liquid are removed). After the procedure, metabolic processes are activated, and the saturation of tissues and organs with oxygen is also enhanced.

White turpentine baths

They are shown under reduced pressure (below 140 mmHg/St.). The water temperature should not exceed 37-39ºС. The proportion of the composition is the same (2 tsp per bath, with a subsequent increase). White baths increase pressure, rejuvenate and tighten the skin, get rid of cellulite and body fat. The white emulsion does not have a pronounced warming effect and does not increase body temperature, however, it can provoke burning and tingling of the skin (this phenomenon usually disappears after 45 minutes).

Contraindications

Individual intolerance and allergic reaction

Pregnancy and lactation

Damage to the skin (scratches, abrasions)

Skin diseases (neurodermatitis, trophic ulcers, etc.)

Arrhythmia, myocardial infarction

Hypertensive crisis

Infectious diseases

Thrombophlebitis, varicose veins

Turpentine baths of Dr. Zalmanov are a natural method of healing, cleansing the body and reducing body weight. If there are no contraindications, then it is really worth using this wonderful method.

2. You can carry out the procedure in a somewhat simplified way, but the effect is very good.

Turpentine baths in this way help with injuries, joint diseases, diseases of the spine, and any inflammatory diseases.

Baths improve microcirculation, restore metabolic processes in tissues. A beneficial effect on the walls of blood vessels prevents age-related changes, slowing down the aging of the body. Turpentine baths are completely harmless when used correctly.

Contraindications to taking turpentine baths are:

open form of tuberculosis;

ischemic heart disease with symptoms of angina pectoris, rhythm disturbances;

heart failure above the first stage;

hypertension stage II B-III;

chronic nephritis and hepatitis;

cirrhosis of the liver; nephrosis;

acute course of eczema; scabies;

malignant neoplasms;

second half of pregnancy;

individual intolerance to turpentine baths.

Baths have no age contraindications.

Turpentine, which is sold in hardware stores, is suitable for the procedure.

Water is poured into the bath, slightly above body temperature, and 2 tablespoons of turpentine, 2 tablespoons of any vegetable oil and some bubble bath. Everything is mixed and you can go to the bath. It is necessary to be in the bath before the tingling begins, which usually happens precisely in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bdiseased organs. Do not overstay, otherwise it will be very painful (then lubricate this place with additional oil).

1) The first thing that scares people at the first mention of turpentine is
association with repair, dissolution of paints and purely chemical applications
in industry.

The fact is that turpentine is obtained different ways, and technical
turpentine and gum are far from the same thing. Gum turpentine - basic
ingredient in Zalman's baths is obtained by distillation of fresh pine
resins with water vapor.

And it is this turpentine that has disinfectants,
wound healing properties. He is even able to restore
blood circulation in frostbite, which even more
serious drugs.

2) There is data on the Internet about the use of turpentine as
expectorant in inhalations, and even injections to treat
inflammatory skin diseases. This data is from my point of view
quite controversial, because I know from my own experience how much an eater
turpentine and even in baths when using 20 ml per bath of 200 liters
some burning sensation is felt. And in places with a thin mucous membrane (lips,
armpits, anus, genitals) very noticeable
burning.

3) The third myth about turpentine is that baths with it give
fantastic weight loss. There are reviews about the loss after applying the course
turpentine baths of 15 kg of weight. This is obtained per kilogram per bath!
Of course, there is some effect from Zalman's baths in terms of
construction, but not in the same catastrophic size for the body!
If this were true, then I would be the first to doubt the harmlessness
such a source of healing. Such super fast weight loss
extremely stressful for the body and is fraught with numerous
complications.

Turpentine baths Zalmanov

Turpentine baths, as a means of rejuvenation and healing, were
discovered at the beginning of the 20th century by Dr. A.S. Zalmanov. This doctor is actively
was engaged in hydrotherapy, tried many types of baths (coniferous, herbal, cold, hot, turpentine, salt). Latest first
were just a type of hot bath used to enhance
blood circulation and vascular training.

Now the name of Zalmanov is firmly connected with turpentine
baths. These baths are good because they affect the entire surface of the skin,
accelerating the metabolism and metabolism throughout the body, faster excreted
toxins and slags from the entire network of capillaries, they are better
work, their permeability is restored, the energy
balance. In a word, all capillaries perform their task faster and better.
work, enrich tissues and organs with oxygen and remove products
vital activity and dead cells out.

All this is necessary for the normal functioning of a healthy body. Actually, this is what we would like at 30, and at 40, and at 50 years old.

Hot turpentine baths by raising body temperature,
activate leukocytes, increase the activity of liver enzymes,
raise the overall resistance of the body to adverse factors.

Indications the most extensive list, it is easier to say what they do not apply to.

Neurological diseases and diseases of the musculoskeletal system, pathologies of the heart and blood vessels, consequences of injuries, eye diseases, diseases of the connective tissue...

Women willingly use baths in cosmetology, the skin is strikingly
changes in better side- tightens, improves skin turgor,
the manifestations of cellulite are reduced, the processes are actively
metabolism, excess fat is absorbed ...

Feedback on my use of turpentine baths at home

For a 14-day course of application of mixed turpentine baths, I managed to
build 3 kilograms, the waist has decreased by 2 centimeters,
the hip line has improved, the skin has become soft, elastic, it has become smaller
wrinkles. If it wasn't for mine individual characteristics(badly endure
heat), would gladly continue health experiments.

Contraindications for turpentine baths

You can not use turpentine baths - with exacerbation of skin diseases, an open form of tuberculosis, severe arrhythmias with decompensated heart failure,
during pregnancy, with scabies, with individual intolerance.
Neoplasms by different sources considered relative
contraindication.

Apply turpentine baths at home
it is better if there is an assistant (add hot water, apply a thermometer,
check if there is perspiration), but if it is not, then this is not critical. If
prepare everything in advance, then cope with the adoption of turpentine baths and
on one's own.

Exists white and yellow varieties of turpentine baths.

White turpentine baths

White turpentine baths - recommended
for people with hypotension or normal blood pressure. From their
with the help, the trophism of tissues improves, their nutrition, pressure normalizes (
rises slightly). White baths are irritating,
therefore, it is desirable to strictly observe the dosage. For people with sensitive
skin, it is better to start with smaller doses than even those available in
instructions. The skin and mucous membranes of the genital organs should be lubricated with medical
petroleum jelly or baby cream (in these areas there may be pronounced
burning.

The duration of the bath is 15-20 minutes, the temperature is 38-39 degrees.

You should start with a temperature of 37 degrees, fill the bath to
half, pour in a spoon or 1 cap of emulsion, mix thoroughly.
Dive, trying to keep the body as much as possible in the water. Later
start adding hot water general temperature up to 38-39
degrees. In this case, the irritating effect will increase somewhat - the skin
will start to tingle a little.

Then, without drying yourself, wrap yourself in a large towel or warm bathrobe and
lie down in bed for 40-60 minutes. It is advisable to cover yourself with a couple of blankets and
drink up perspiration herbal tea.

The tingling and light burning continue after the bath for 1-1.5 hours.

Yellow turpentine baths

Yellow (oil) turpentine baths - apply to
people with high blood pressure. They dilate blood vessels (and, therefore, reduce
blood pressure), stimulate sweating and excretion
products of metabolism through the skin.

Since the yellow solution is oily, its a little harder to evenly
distribute (stir) in the bathroom. We also start with 37 degrees,
gradually bringing up to 39-40.

The procedure is carried out until perspiration appears on the forehead, approximately it appears at 15-17 minutes.

Overstay in the bathroom, especially on early stages highly DO NOT RECOMMEND. Tachycardia may appear and the general condition worsens.

Get out of the bathroom very carefully, the oil solution lubricates the walls with a thin film, slip simply.

At the end of the procedure, also wrap up, take cover, drinking diaphoretic herbs
with honey, and lie down for an hour and a half. If you fall asleep - well, I'll fall asleep
I couldn't, it was too hot. But sweating goes on "cheers".

Mixed turpentine baths

Mixed turpentine baths - selected individually for various diseases, proportions in general view you can look here.


For weight loss 10-14 baths per course every other day.

P.S. or again about dosages

Once again I want to remind on dosage compliance ,
and then one reader of my blog wrote that after taking her
turpentine bath according to Zalmanov became worse -
there was a frantic heartbeat, heavy breathing, increased arterial
pressure ... But the point was that the lady, for economic reasons,
I lay in the bathroom not 17 minutes, but thirty-five! How much was enough
patience. According to the principle that goodness does not disappear!

Another case . The woman really wanted
lose weight for the beach season. Took turpentine baths 2 times a day.
In two weeks she lost two kilograms and was disappointed, she had to
drop at least a dozen. I answer, such rapid weight loss is good
does not bring, even if efforts are rewarded, to a smaller size
clothes attached loose skin, pointed features, haggard
view. And very often exacerbation of existing chronic diseases. This
firstly, and secondly, baths are taken once a day, there are methods
every other day, but twice a day is too much. Yes, and a desperate desire
to something or, as a rule, causes a rejection reaction in a person,
the psyche feels that it is being "bent down" and begins to resist. Most
better results from turpentine baths and other healing systems
happen precisely when they are obtained, as it were, by chance, incidentally.

Another common problem , associated with
inattentive reading of the instructions - irritation, burns of the genital mucosa
organs, anus. Although I repeated it more than once, and in all
the instructions say that especially sensitive places are lubricated
petroleum jelly before climbing into the tub. After already and the meaning of something special
No, just to ease the pain a little.

Later, for the first time using turpentine
baths or by changing the manufacturer of the white and yellow emulsion, even better
slightly reduce the recommended dosage. As with allergies
check how you react to this particular composition (now even in
pharmacies sell at least five to six varieties of bath formulations
Zalmanov, and I’m generally silent about numerous online stores).
My reader bought another composition of Zalmanov's baths in a pharmacy
manufacturer, complained that it was much "stronger", as she put it and
you need to pour it almost half as much, otherwise you will burn
mucous.

Here is the data of clinical trials of turpentine baths at the Research Institute of Naturotherapy:

In general, turpentine baths- a good thing, especially in the cold season. Get busy in the summer!

I wish you successful application of this type of treatment!

However, for those who have a TV in the bathroom, they can have a great time watching the series Desperate Housewives)))

People ask themselves how to help the body cope with diseases and stress, increase resistance to negative environmental influences and increase efficiency? Answer found. This is the use of turpentine baths. Turpentine is an essential oil that is obtained from the resin of coniferous trees and is used in medicine to treat diseases of the joints and bones. The discovery of turpentine baths was presented to the world by Dr. A.S. Zalmanov. What are turpentine baths and what are their properties and application features?

At the beginning of the last century, while working on the development of treatment methods through the impact on the capillary network, A.S. Zalmanov found ways to dissolve turpentine in water. Since then, turpentine baths have been widely used in capillary therapy. The method discovered by the doctor is introduced to readers by his book “The Secret Wisdom of the Human Organism”. It provides a description of the procedure, tables and schemes according to which the recovery is carried out.

Turpentine is a natural drug that is used in cosmetology and treatment. Its plus is in good tolerance by the body and the minimum number of prohibitions on its use and adverse reactions. That is why baths with it are so popular.

Turpentine baths are available for use. They are used in the treatment of diseases and cosmetic purposes.

Beneficial features procedures:

  • removal of toxic and slag accumulations accumulated in the organs;
  • skin cleansing;
  • cleaning the sebaceous glands from clogging;
  • warming up muscles and joints;
  • regeneration of the network of capillaries;
  • normalization of blood flow;
  • acceleration of the process of splitting microelements.

There are three types of bath solutions, the main component of which is turpentine:

  1. Emulsified white (zhiviton). Additional substances in its composition: olive oil, salt and herbal extracts. The solution is indicated for people with low blood pressure and to stimulate capillary performance.
  2. Yellow. It contains castor oil and fatty acids. It promotes vasodilation, splitting accumulations in the vascular system and expelling them from the capillaries. This type of bath causes a decrease in pressure. It is accompanied by intense sweating and a rise in temperature.
  3. Mixed. With the addition of pine scented liquids and plant extracts.

The solutions also include medicinal ingredients that have a positive effect on the body. The instruction contains recommendations on how to take turpentine baths at home.

Application rules:

  1. Go to the bath every other day (less often, more often not).
  2. Observe the proportion: 15 ml of solution per 100-liter bath (adjusted individually, the concentration of the white solution gradually increases each time by 3 ml, yellow - by 5 ml). The maximum oil content is 60 ml.
  3. Maintain the bath temperature within 36-42 degrees. If at hot water a person feels bad, stop at 36 degrees.
  4. Keep track of time: stay in the bath for 10-20 minutes.
