Autumn belongs to respiratory infections. Sometimes it is worth referring to the traditional method of treating flu and pneumonia, which is remembered from childhood bubbles. They can be equally helpful in the fight against radiculitis or shoulder joint inflammation, rheumatic or muscle pain. They have a beneficial effect on bronchitis, asthma and immunity.
Remember to leave the decision to use them to the doctor, and avoid the kidney area when placing them. Contraindications include dehydration, skin diseases, vascular fragility, blood clotting disorders, heart disease and anemia.
Bubble action
- Glass bubbles are considered the safest, for which no fire is used. Using the pump, we suck the air through the valve.
- Classic bubbles are also made of glass, but they suck when the spirit ignited in them consumes oxygen. Although they are the most effective, they require a lot of practice.
- The rubber ones suck as the rubber expands.
When the skin is slightly pulled into the cup, nerve receptors and skin blood supply are stimulated. A bit of blood penetrates the subcutaneous tissue, which the body identifies as a threat, stimulates immunity and heals ailments.
The art of making bubbles
Bubbles can be placed no more often than every other day. Despite the accompanying discomfort resulting from skin suction, they are not painful.
- Before you start putting bubbles, wash them with soap and warm water. Take care of your skin. For smearing in the case of pain or neuralgia, an ointment for inflammation will be ideal. The number of bubbles placed depends on the age and severity of the ailment, in children six is often enough, while in an adult you can put up to thirty.
- When treating bronchitis, pneumonia or colds, choose the back and chest, but if the pain is caused by spinal degeneration or sciatica, it is best to place them in the area of the cross or loins. In the case of spinal pain syndromes, neuralgia and organ neuroses, place cups along the spine. They attach best to places with fat and muscular bedding. Never put cups around blisters, nipples, breasts, heart, or large blood vessels.
- Whichever type you choose, the betting technique is similar but not identical. Putting classic bubbles requires us to light a candle, soak it in alcohol and set fire to a cotton swab placed at the end of a 15-centimeter rod. For a moment, we place a burning cotton pad inside the bubble, pull it out and immediately apply the bubble to the patient’s skin until it sticks.
- Bubbles hold for a quarter of an hour, then tilt, while pressing the skin at their edges. Remove them gently, do not pull them out. If we did everything correctly, the bubbles will leave a trace in the form of dark red spots. Don’t worry about them as they will disappear on their own within a few days.
- After the treatment, wipe the skin with a cotton pad soaked in alcohol and re-oil. Cover the patient with a blanket, let him rest or sleep, but under no circumstances should he lie down on the part of the body where the cups were placed. It is advisable to lie in bed for three days after them.
