Good Lifestyle

Folk medicine has always taken a significant place in the life of Ukrainians. And if for a long time, people did not have any alternatives, we are lucky: we have traditional, evidence medicine and pharmaceuticals and access to objective information. Yes, it is still difficult to refuse grandmother recipes, especially when some are really working. However, there are also not effective and even frankly harmful remedies. We urge you to relate to your own health as much as possible and always turn to the doctor. Then let's give a few cases of false "therapeutic" tips:

1. Garlic treats a cold and "distilling" viruses

Thus, garlic contains sufficiently useful microelements and moderate to use it can support immunity in the long run. However, he does not treat anything and will not protect you from bacteria or viruses. It is also worth remembering possible side effects, as the disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, because not every organism is well perceived by garlic. "Antigrust bags" with chopped garlic on your baby will not lead to anything good, but only to probable psychological trauma through the caustic aroma. Garlic, as well as onions, really contain a lot of phytoncides, but in the air they are very quickly evaporated and never manage to kill any virus.

2. Hot milk with butter and honey helps with acne

This is not a useful myth, because milk contains complex proteins - caseins that slows the death of viruses. Also, it thickens sputum and makes it difficult to bush. Therefore, for the period of illness, milk from the diet should be excluded at all. As for honey, it is useful only in kind. When heated, it, firstly, loses all useful qualities, and secondly, after a temperature of 40 ° and above begins to form hazardous for the body of decomposition of sugars. Butter butter is no risks besides unnecessary calories.

3. Vegetable oil on an empty stomach cleanses the stomach

Such regular practices can lead to acute abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and even an increase in temperature. Maybe you think that it looks like stomach cleaning, but not. This looks like a renal colic. If the "procedures" do not stop, then this will lead to calculous cholecystitis, and then to chronic pancreatitis and surgical intervention.

4. Inhalation over boiled potato steam saves

The first risk is the burns of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, because the temperature of the pair is not possible to control. In the event that you have already managed to begin gymite, then such inhalations will only increase edema and complicate the course of the disease. In this case, the method has no proven benefits. And if you also plan to overcome the onion juice in the nose, then the burning of the mucous membrane is guaranteed.

5. Butter / oil will facilitate burns and will help against scarring

Never use this advice and do not lubricate the score no cream butter, no oil. The fact is that the fat is formed on the skin a kind of film, through which the heat transfer will not take place. This can lead to an increase in the affected area and almost 100 percent of cases will lead to further formation of a scar, which could not occur with the correct first assistance. Remember that when burns the very first need to rinse the wound slightly cool water (in no case with ice), remove any clothing or jewelry (if a thing is adhered, then do not touch it to the arrival of ambulance), neatly cover the wound sterile to The tap (band), date of the victim's water and pill painking (paracetamol, ibuprofen) and expect a doctor.

6. Foot Pet with Mustard will stop SCVI symptoms

No this nor any other of the folk "warming" methods will not affect the virus, because the infection has already occurred. Mustard in hot water will only increase the body temperature, and unpacked legs then gradually cool (because the thermoregulation will temporarily disturbed) and further worse symptoms. In addition, for young children, the procedure is rather similar to slow torture, and not for treatment (parents make tolerate burning pain from hot water, without giving reflector to pull the legs). This is threatened with psychological trauma, so refrain from such practices.
