Turpentine baths: white emulsion, yellow solution, mixed emulsion. How to use Skipar for weight loss

History of use as a disinfectant and remedy resin (resin) coniferous trees, from which turpentine is currently obtained, dates back thousands of years.
Peoples who lived before our era (ancient Sumerians, ancient Jews, etc.) used dried pine and fir needles for compresses and poultices, and also used them in the form of tinctures or liquid plasters for bleeding and wounds.

In the 16th century, the French physician Ambroise Pare widely used turpentine and Peruvian balsam to treat wounds.
In Russia, balms were used in the treatment of wounds and purulent processes. Thus, T. Kudryavtsev (1868) in the “People's Medical Book” indicated that spruce resin has a slightly irritating, stimulating effect, and pine resin is used to treat wounds, rheumatic pain, and gout.
By distilling the resin of coniferous trees with steam, turpentine is obtained. This is an active substance with pronounced antibacterial and antifungal properties.

The mechanism of action of turpentine and turpentine baths

As mentioned above, by its chemical nature, turpentine belongs to terpenes, which are the main integral part essential oils of coniferous trees. The mechanism of biochemical action of turpentine components was studied in experiments in vitro and in vivo.

Much attention in the literature is paid to the biological effect of turpentine depending on the dose, duration of exposure and point of application.
The effect of turpentine on the skin is associated with the lipotropic nature of its main component, a-pinene, due to which it penetrates the epidermis and, stimulating skin receptors, causes reflex reactions in the body.

The mechanism of action of turpentine has been studied by a number of researchers. M.D. Mashkovsky (1986) notes that under the influence of turpentine, biologically active substances are released in the skin, in particular, histamine, which causes the opening and expansion of capillaries, and carbon dioxide, which stimulates the respiratory center.
For a long time turpentine with therapeutic purpose used only externally in ointments and rubbing. Due to the fact that turpentine does not dissolve in water, its use in hydrotherapy practice was limited to only unsuccessful attempts.

In connection with the creation A.S. Zalmanov recipes for the emulsification of turpentine (“white emulsion”, “yellow solution”), Zalmanov’s turpentine baths began to be used in hydrotherapy practice.
The mechanism of action of turpentine baths according to Zalmanov is that “by opening closed capillaries, they restore the blood supply to the dried processes in the tissues, provide an influx of oxygen and drainage to remove metabolites - and the life of tissues and cells is restored.” Thus, they help prevent microthrombosis and capillary stasis and improve microcirculation.
The effectiveness of turpentine baths A.S. Zalmanov explains their impact on general defense mechanisms body, their stimulation at the level of capillary blood flow, more precisely, on the metabolic processes occurring at this level of the vascular system. The proposed emulsification recipes are an undeniable merit of the author, allowing for wider use of the medicinal properties of turpentine.

When using turpentine in the form of baths, the effect of terpenes on the skin is enhanced by the thermal effect of the water procedure. As noted by A.S. Zalmanov, baths of yellow emulsion enhance internal combustion, dilate capillaries, lower blood pressure, and help dissolve pathological deposits in blood vessels, joints and tendons.
White turpentine baths cause a change in the lumen of the skin capillaries, which helps to increase blood pressure, improving blood circulation in muscles and internal organs. The similarity in the action of the two types of baths is that they cause a marked improvement in capillary circulation and acceleration of blood flow, have a bactericidal and analgesic effect, and stimulate the respiratory center.

Starting to use turpentine baths

You should know that white baths can only be used by people with low or normal (not higher than 140-150/90 mm Hg) arterial blood pressure. For people with higher levels, only yellow baths are recommended. If, during the use of white baths, blood pressure becomes higher than normal, you must immediately switch to mixed baths.

Zalmanov baths application

A. S. Zalmanov considered the following conditions to be indications for the use of turpentine baths: arteritis (with blood pressure not higher than 140 mm Hg); myocardial infarction (consequences); sciatica; rejuvenation of the elderly; fractures (or consequence - muscle atrophy); bone loss (osteomalacia); rickets; deforming rheumatism with osteoporosis.”

Contraindications:

active forms of open pulmonary tuberculosis, psychosis in the acute period, severe heart failure, individual intolerance to turpentine baths or increased skin sensitivity to turpentine.

Techniques for using turpentine baths

1. Shake the contents of the bottle (yellow solution or white emulsion or mixed emulsion).
2. Prepare the solution: stir according to the bath number
   (see application tables) amount (yellow solution or white emulsion) in 3 liters hot water 50-60° C.
3. Fill the bathtub with 150-170 l of water desired temperature(see Application Tables) and add the prepared solution.
4. Thoroughly mix the prepared solution in the bath until completely dissolved in water. The amount of solution, water temperature and duration of the procedure are changed according to the schemes indicated in the tables for the use of each type of bath.
5. After taking a bath, it is recommended, without drying yourself, to wrap yourself in a terry towel and rest for 1.5-2 hours.
6. It is recommended to take an average of 15 – 25 baths every other day. Repeat the course 3-4 times a year.

Attention!

To avoid irritation on sensitive areas of the skin, before taking a bath, it is recommended to lubricate the area of ​​the armpits, groin folds, perineum, and places of accidental scratches with Vaseline. Strictly comply temperature regime and dosage of the solution. Do not plunge your head into the bath. Avoid contact with eyes.
The duration of each bath should be limited by the appearance of perspiration on the skin of the face!

TURPENTINE BATHS A.S. ZALMANOV

They will help you relieve stress, relax, increase tone and performance, the body’s resistance to diseases and speed up the healing of many diseases. turpentine baths.

The life of cells and tissues depends on capillaries, which are the smallest vessels with a length of about 1 mm and a diameter of several to 30-40 microns. total length The capillaries of an adult are about 100,000 km. The total surface of the capillaries is more than 6000 sq.m. Essentially, this is the metabolic area. Painful changes in capillaries are the basis of the vast majority of pathological processes.

To influence the capillaries, thermal methods are used - warm, hot or cold water, steam. A.S. Zalmanov- a famous domestic doctor who worked in the first half of the last century, not only in Russia, but also in France, found a more effective remedy - turpentine baths.

It has been established that they open capillaries, improve the nutrition of organs with blood elements and oxygen, provide tissue drainage to remove metabolic products, that is, they restore the vital activity of cells, tissues, organs and, accordingly, the entire human body.

Turpentine baths are divided into three types: white, yellow and mixed.

For preparing white baths(bath No. 1) use " White emulsion"(gum turpentine - 45%, water - 50%, crushed baby soap, salicylic acid, camphor alcohol, willow bark extract).

For yellow baths(bath No. 2) use " Yellow solution"(gum turpentine - 50%, castor oil - 20%, oleic acid - 15%, water - 13.4%, caustic soda).

Mixed baths are also accepted.

The white emulsion is intended for people with low blood pressure; baths with a yellow solution are recommended for people with high blood pressure. Willow bark extract (0.2% dry extract) has been added to the white emulsion, which has a positive effect on blood vessels and capillaries and softens the effect of the emulsion. White and yellow baths have different effects on the body.

White baths cause rhythmic contractions And expansion of capillaries. This usually increases blood pressure. White baths do not increase the temperature and do not cause excessive sweating. However, they have a stronger irritant effect (tingling or burning of the skin) than yellow baths.

Yellow baths dilate capillaries in both the venous and arterial circulatory systems, contribute to the dissolution of pathological deposits in joints, tendons and ligaments, in the lenses of the eyes, in the walls of blood vessels and in the capillaries themselves. At the same time, breathing deepens and blood pressure decreases. They cause a general increase in body temperature, stimulate sweating and the removal of urea and sodium chloride through the skin.

Mixed baths are selected taking into account the individual characteristics of a person.

Mixed baths have the advantages of both white and yellow baths and have an additional effect: they cause amino acids to enter the blood through opening capillaries, as well as a physiologically active substance from the group of biogenic amines - histamine, which is involved in the regulation of various processes in organism. In particular, it causes the expansion of still closed capillaries and helps normalize blood flow in the vessels. By adjusting the ratio of the amount of white emulsion to yellow solution, the pressure can be adjusted to the most favorable level.

While the composition and mechanism of action of white and yellow baths differ, what they have in common is that they improve and restore capillary blood flow, show bactericidal And painkiller actions trigger physiological reactions self-regulation And self-healing body.

• INDICATIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS.

Turpentine baths are universal method healing the body. They lead to increased metabolic processes, remove toxins, stimulate self-regulation processes and the immune system. Baths are effective means rejuvenation of the body, prevention of premature aging, a means of improving physical condition, increasing efficiency and vitality. They are also useful for those who consider themselves practically healthy. Turpentine baths help normalize fat metabolism. Yellow baths can be successfully used as a means for sustainable weight loss and cellulite elimination. Intensive capillarization of the skin leads to deep cleansing, normalizes and improves its condition. Baths do not cause any pathological changes and violations and are completely harmless when used correctly.

Contraindications to the use of turpentine baths are:

• HOW TO TAKE A BATH

Before you start taking turpentine baths, you must consult a doctor to choose the right solution or emulsion depending on blood pressure, general condition and diagnosis.

Turpentine baths are taken in courses of 10-12, and more if prescribed by a doctor. Baths can be taken daily, every other day, two days in a row with a break on the third day. To take baths, you need to have a water thermometer, a watch, a plastic beaker for measuring the amount of white emulsion or yellow solution, preferably a tonometer for measuring blood pressure, and medical Vaseline. In addition, you need to prepare a robe or large terry sheet. It is necessary to take precautions to prevent the white emulsion and yellow solution from getting into the eyes, as well as the most sensitive areas of the body, and store turpentine emulsions out of the reach of children.

Reusing water with white emulsion, yellow solution or a mixture of both to treat another person is strictly prohibited.

The amount of white emulsion, yellow solution or their mixture per bath is gradually increased from 10-15 ml to 35-60 ml according to the doctor’s recommendation for a particular person. The bath temperature is 36-37C0. The duration of the bath is 10-15 minutes, starting at 5 minutes and gradually increasing the time by 1-2 minutes, depending on tolerance.

For people with very sensitive skin, it is allowed to apply a small amount of medical Vaseline to some areas of the body (genitals and anus, popliteal fossa, inner surfaces of the elbows, axillary and groin areas).

If you experience discomfort when taking a bath, then you should “soften” the characteristics - reduce the time, temperature or amount of turpentine solution. Maximum amount white emulsion, yellow solution or a mixture of them is also individual. If you have diseases that are not contraindicated, you should take turpentine baths at home under supervision and only as prescribed by a doctor. After leaving the bath, on a damp body (do not rinse or dry yourself), put on a robe or wrap yourself in a sheet, go to bed, cover yourself warmly. The duration of rest after the bath is at least 45 minutes.

Nutrition when taking a course of baths should be rational and healthy. It is necessary to avoid overeating, limit the use of animal foods, and give up alcohol.
