Baths of Zalmanov. Instructions, reviews

For the first time, the theory of human recovery by improving the functioning of capillaries was developed at the beginning of the 20th century by an outstanding doctor, our compatriot Abram Solomonovich Zalmanov.

In 1920, the Danish physiologist August Krogh discovered the mechanism of capillary circulation (and received Nobel Prize), marking the right path to healing and rejuvenation of a person. Dr. Zalmanov was very passionate about the idea that, by rejuvenating capillaries, it is possible to treat the most complex diseases and successfully fight old age. As a universal remedy, he proposed healing baths, with the addition of a special emulsion made from gum turpentine.

Gum turpentine(turpentine oil, popularly - resin) is a resinous secretion coniferous plants. Resin heals the wounds of trees, revives them. Heals. Hence its popular name.

Turpentine turpentine emulsion coniferous trees, stimulating millions of receptors, is able to open closed capillaries, restore blood supply to desiccated islets. Cells again begin to receive enough oxygen and nutrients.

Application turpentine baths gave an amazing healing effect. Most of the diseases that were previously considered incurable began to recede! Two hundred patients of the first Zalmanov clinic opened in Paris, having undergone a course of treatment, testified to him high efficiency. Together with rheumatism, they also lost the stigma of old age ( we are talking about people over 75). Newspapers wrote enthusiastically about Dr. Zalmanov's turpentine baths. This method was called capillary therapy.

Here is the basis for prolonging youth and restoring health from Zalmanov's book "The Secret Wisdom of the Human Body":

"Violations of the physiology of capillaries are so common and so often observed that they should not be considered a minor phenomenon, but, on the contrary, one of the main elements of organic disorders in a patient, whatever the disease ... Open the clogged capillaries in each patient. Restore the patency of the ducts - The body will take care of the rest."

How to prolong life?

Since ancient times, people have been trying to find a miracle cure that restores youth and prolongs life. With the development of the chemical industry, a new stage has begun in these searches. Now we are hungry for a pill that will restore our beauty and health. Stunned by the noisy advertising of chemicals, we completely forgot that the body is not a set of individual organs, but a complex self-regulating system! But real centenarians rarely resort to the help of drugs, confirming the rule "the living must be treated alive."

However, this is not a call to neglect the achievements of modern medicine!

The genetic age of a person is calculated at 130-180 years. Until very recently, we did not know the cause of old age and the development of disease. The latest discoveries of scientists show that the basis of most diseases is a violation of microcirculation, i.e. capillary blood flow, the formation of free radicals (NO *) in connection with this, which damage (oxidize) healthy cells, which leads to their death. A young body easily copes with this process, producing a sufficient amount of antioxidants, but with age they become much less and help from outside becomes vital. All our organs are made up of tissues, and they, in turn, are made up of cells.

A cell is the functional unit of an organism. It is on the health of each cell individually that the performance of our organs and our health depends. To ensure its own existence, the cell must breathe, eat and get rid of toxins. This triple role is performed by blood, which is connected to all tissues through a capillary network.

capillaries- these are the smallest vessels that fit every cell of the body, enveloping all organs in the form of a network. This network is so huge that if the capillaries of one person are figuratively built into one thread, then it will circle the globe 6 times! 80% of the body's blood is constantly in the capillaries. Violation of the capillaries is the main cause of any pathological process!

In the process of vital activity, the capillary network is clogged with "slags", the blood flow slows down sharply, and in some areas it stops altogether (stagnation occurs). Cells stop receiving oxygen and, accordingly, nutrients; they cannot give up carbon dioxide and products of toxic metabolites (slags). The cell self-poisons and it dies. With age, this process begins to take on a massive character, whole islands of dead cells and dried up (sleeping) capillaries appear in the tissues. The production of free radicals (which damage the capillaries even more), the processes of lipid peroxidation are sharply activated. Such processes occur in all organs - in the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, brain, cartilage tissue, joints, etc. - this is aging, the main cause of disease. These same changes occur in skin cells, as a result, we see the aging process with our own eyes.

Accordingly, by improving the capillary blood flow, we can slow down the development of the disease, stop it, and even begin the restoration of all damaged tissues. In this case, the biological age will be of secondary importance if the functional capabilities of the organism are restored. And, again, all the processes occurring inside can be controlled by the condition of the skin. The right treatment will transform your appearance in an amazing way, and this will be the best control of its effectiveness.

Biography of A.S. Zalmanov

In Soviet publications, typos were deliberately introduced into Zalmanov's recipes.

Many politicians, show business stars and entire royal families are treated today according to the methods of Dr. Zalmanov. Abroad, he is called the great Russian doctor, who found a panacea for many diseases and defeated old age itself. But here's the paradox: in Russia, he is little known even among doctors. And this despite the fact that at one time he was the personal doctor of Lenin and Krupskaya.

He had a pass to the Kremlin at any time of the day or night. In the house of Lenin and Krupskaya, he was always a welcome guest. Almost a member of the family. “I don’t even know how I deserved such an attitude towards myself,” Zalmanov was perplexed. "I'm just an ordinary doctor." Of course, he was far from being an ordinary doctor.

A real doctor, according to the medieval scholar Avicenna, must have the eyes of a falcon, the wisdom of a snake and the heart of a lion. It was this doctor that contemporaries considered Zalmanov to be. He could make a diagnosis simply by carefully looking at the patient. As a rule, he was not mistaken. It is no coincidence that people were ready to cross the seas and oceans in order to get to see him.

At 30, Zalmanov had three medical degrees. One received in Moscow, the other two - in Germany and Italy. Zalmanov loved life in all its manifestations so much that in between medical practice he traveled and mastered other professions. He was a fisherman, a legal reporter for a newspaper, a foreman on the construction of the Siberian railway, and even worked as a shoe shiner. And always humorous. He composed parodies, dressed up as an Arab - a fortune teller and performed on city streets.

Once, on the Kuznetsk bridge, he gathered a crowd around his galoshes, - recalls Sergei Smolitsky, a descendant of Zalmanov. - I bet she would go. When passions ran high, with a deft movement he put on a galosh on his leg and left.

Zalmanov was also mischievous at medical consultations. With a caustic joke he tried to revive the gloomy patients. At one time he ran a hospital in Nervi (a resort on the shores of the Gulf of Genoa), where Plekhanov, Rosa Luxemburg, Clara Zetkin, surviving sailors from the Potemkin came to him for treatment ... During the First World War, he received the rank of general of the medical service and was appointed to the post of head of the sanitary trains. Well, immediately after the revolution, a number of high posts in the People's Commissariat of Health await him. Among other things, he is appointed director of all resorts and instructed to organize the fight against tuberculosis. Thanks to his efforts, a law was passed prohibiting the construction of factories closer than 15 km from cities. It was then that he became the personal doctor of "the most humane person."

“They didn’t have an elevator in the house,” Zalmanov wrote in his letters. - Nadezhda Konstantinovna suffered from Graves' disease. Her heart was enlarged, and it took a lot of effort for me to insist that a lift be built, since it was very difficult for her to go up to the third floor. With difficulty I succeeded in taking Krupskaya for a single month to a children's sanatorium in Sokolniki. Occasionally, after long reminders, I managed to persuade Lenin to ride in open car. He was a remarkably disobedient patient. Both of them - both Lenin and Krupskaya - were not able to be treated for a long time ... ”

In 1921, Zalmanov shared with Lenin his awareness of the incompleteness of medical knowledge. He asked: “And if we give you the opportunity to go abroad?” The next day, Zalmanov received a passport, money for travel and a seat in a diplomatic carriage. The doctor was not destined to return (after Lenin's death it was dangerous). But until the end of his days, he did not change his passport and considered himself a citizen of the USSR.

capillary theory

The best doctor, according to Zalmanov's deep conviction, knows the futility of most medicines. He himself did not like the main direction in which medicine developed in the 20th century. He believed that chemicals, antibiotics interfere too roughly with the work of the body, preventing it from coping with the real reason illness. The key to health is in the correct metabolic processes occurring in the capillaries that permeate the entire human body. That is why Zalmanov called his method capillary therapy.

In the process of vital activity, the capillary network becomes clogged with slags, microcirculation is disturbed, and the cells stop receiving oxygen and die. This is aging.

Zalmanov believed that by improving blood flow, it is possible to stop the development of the disease, to begin the restoration of all damaged organs and tissues. “If you increase the volume of breathing, the flow of oxygen to the brain and all organs,” he wrote, “if you open the gaps to tens of thousands of closed capillaries, then you will not meet a single disease that will not be eliminated by your treatment.” He advised opening the capillaries not with drugs, hypnosis, surgery or radiation, but with the most common natural means: proper breathing, daily exercise and turpentine baths. The latter, in his opinion, are the best enemy of disease and old age.

His book The Secret Wisdom of the Human Organism was first published in France in 1958 and has since been reprinted numerous times in various languages.

Feel free to plunge into the turpentine!

Zalmanov invariably offered his patients to plunge into the turpentine font (note: turpentine is a product of coniferous resin). After several such baths, people seemed to be born again: the work of the liver, kidneys, and respiratory organs was restored, pain in the joints disappeared, the heart stopped acting up, and even the nerves calmed down. Turpentine Zalmanov treated infertility, impotence, hepatitis, obesity, arthritis ... He developed a recipe for a special turpentine emulsion of two types: white and yellow.

A passionate promoter of turpentine baths and capillary therapy was at one time the Minister of Health of France (it was there that Zalmanov opened his first clinic). The resounding success of the bath had - and still has - in the sanatoriums of Switzerland, Germany, Italy. Wishing to rejuvenate blood vessels, they were accepted - and still are accepted - by thousands of Europeans. Even the leaders of the Third Reich plunged into turpentine fonts. And this is despite the fact that the author of the technique was called Abram Solomonovich ...

Of course, the Soviet Union also knew about the amazing properties of Zalmanov's baths. They even tried to introduce them in the elite Kremlin clinics, but unsuccessfully. One of the high-ranking officials during the procedure "burned" intimate places, not following the recommendations for lubrication.

In the Soviet editions of Zalmanov's books, changes were made to the composition of the emulsion and the method of its application, experts in the field of balneology say. - Apparently, this was done specifically so that it was impossible to prepare baths at home. The then officials were terribly afraid that people would self-medicate.

Only today turpentine baths have become publicly available. In the Scientific Research Institute of Balneology, a number of experiments were carried out and proved that these baths reduce the content of cholesterol and sugar in the blood. But the most interesting: baths can be taken at home. True, only according to a special scheme approved by the Ministry of Health.

Zalmanov himself regularly took baths and remained true to his slogan “die young at 90”. Until the last day, he worked hard, made jokes, was interested in women and repeated that the power of the human body and its ability to heal itself is inexhaustible.

Turpentine baths at home

A.S. Zalmanov proposed a special formulation of yellow turpentine liquid and white turpentine emulsion. And accordingly, Zalmanov's turpentine baths are divided into three types: white, yellow and mixed.

white emulsion- this is an emulsified form of turpentine, therefore turpentine completely dissolves in the bath water, distributing throughout the mass of water. Causes the opening of soldered capillaries, produces "gymnastics" of blood vessels, contributes to the normalization of low blood pressure, an increase in the flow of oxygen and nutrients to organs and tissues, causes an increase in capillary systoles (feels like tingling), improves tissue trophism and the development of collateral circulation.

yellow solution is a specially prepared solution in which turpentine is mixed with castor oil and oleic acid. The oleic acid used in the formulation of the yellow liquid belongs to the group of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Being absorbed into the body through the skin, oleic acid actively binds free radicals (slows down the aging process in the cell and, accordingly, the aging of the body as a whole), normalizes redox reactions and metabolism. Causes in the capillary network rapid combustion of toxic metabolites - "slags", i.e. cleans the capillaries, promotes their excretion through the skin (by increasing sweating) through the kidneys and liver, normalizes high blood pressure.

A very important property of yellow baths is profuse sweating, which causes patients both during the bath and during the rest period after the bath. During the bath and in the next 2 hours of rest, a person releases 2-4 liters of sweat! This fact in itself is important because various toxins and slags are removed from the body with sweat. In addition, excess fluid comes out with sweat, which is present in many patients suffering from hypertension and obesity.

Both types - both white turpentine baths and yellow ones - have a strong analgesic effect.

Mixed baths Thanks to various combinations of two liquids (white and yellow), a wide field of activity is created for adapting baths according to the condition of each patient.

Unfortunately, the Zalmanov method has many limitations and contraindications; it is advisable to take it under the supervision of a doctor, which is quite problematic, because The standard course of bath treatment takes about 2 months.

There is a method for home use, which has a minimum list of contraindications and is much more accessible and convenient (the method has been successfully clinically tested and approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation). Terpene balms "Pearl" (white), "Amber" (yellow), as well as the novelties "Evening" and "Anti-cellulite", in addition to gum turpentine of the highest grade (GOST 1571-82), contain extracts of medicinal herbs (chamomile, string, calendula flowers, celandine , St. John's wort), which makes them very effective despite the light mode of application.

Indications for use

According to the opinion of a well-known doctor, a student of Zalmanov - Dr. Mazur, patients with coronary heart disease, malignant tumors, angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension, chronic glomerulonephritis, nephrosis and some others need Zalmanov's baths, and these diseases respond very well to their treatment. .

Acute conditions, incl. high fever, very low or very high blood pressure, open tuberculosis, cirrhosis of the liver.

Instructions for use

Turpentine baths have a general effect on the entire body as a whole, restoring blood flow in exactly those organs where it is needed, therefore, the basis for the use of one or another type of bath is blood pressure.

The use of baths in normal blood pressure(110/70 - 140/80) - alternate yellow and white baths or take mixed baths.

The use of baths for high blood pressure (140/80 -160/90) - the course begins with yellow baths (5-7 procedures), by this time the blood pressure usually stabilizes or even comes to normal numbers, after that it is necessary to switch to alternating yellow and mixed baths. Mandatory blood pressure control before and after the procedure! If the blood pressure is higher than the indicated figures, then it is first necessary to reduce it with medications (up to 160/90), and only then proceed to taking general baths and, during treatment, reduce the dosage of antihypertensive drugs. Up to this point, it is possible to use only local baths only for the feet or hands. Pure white baths for hypertension are not used!

The use of baths with low blood pressure (90/60 and below - the course begins with white baths (3-5 procedures), after the normalization of blood pressure, go to the alternation of white and mixed baths.

Since the Evening and Anti-cellulite balms are based on a yellow turpentine solution, with normal blood pressure it is better to alternate or mix them with Pearl Balm, use it alone if it is high, and if it is low, start the course with white baths and then switch to alternating with white or mixed baths.

For treatment with Zalmanov baths at home, you must have:
bath, hot and cold water, a water thermometer with a 50-degree scale, a beaker with divisions,
blood pressure monitor and stethoscope, watch.

Unlike the use of baths in a hospital, at home, the dosage of the solution and the temperature of the water are fixed (the dosage may vary slightly depending on individual sensations).

The bath is being filled tap water desired temperature (36 C). Before use, the emulsion or solution is shaken (!), The right amount is measured and poured into the bath, where everything is thoroughly mixed. After the bath, blot the skin with a towel, perhaps taking a shower (without soap).

After taking a bath, intense sweating is possible (but not necessary), so you need to rest for 2-3 hours, taking an infusion of medicinal herbs. Then it is recommended to go to sleep.

The main criterion is your well-being and the duration of the tingling sensation after the procedure. In this case, you take into account your individual skin sensitivity to turpentine and other components of the emulsion. If the tingling sensation after the bath lasts more than 45 minutes, it is necessary to reduce the dosage of the emulsion. In the absence of tingling after 5-7 procedures, the amount of the drug should be slightly increased.

IMPORTANT:
Strictly observe the temperature regime and dosage of the drug.

Don't go headlong into the bath. Avoid getting liquid in eyes and mouth. In order to avoid unpleasant sensations on sensitive areas of the skin, it is recommended to lubricate the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe armpits, inguinal folds, perineum, and places of accidental scratches with Vaseline before the bath.

Procedures should be canceled if there is pain, even small, in the region of the heart. Do not use yellow (amber, evening and anti-cellulite) baths for hypotension, and white for hypertension - replace them with mixed ones.

(Increased pain in the joints, sometimes with a slight increase in body temperature and a moderate acceleration of ESR is not a reason to cancel the baths).

Use only a certified emulsion made in strict accordance with Zalmanov's recipe. The use of non-certified emulsions does not guarantee a cure and, unfortunately, can lead to loss of health!

Treatment of various diseases

Hypertonic disease
Arterial hypertension
With hypertension and arterial hypertension of renal etiology, which are accompanied by the release of urine with a lack of urea (less than 10-12 g / l), uric acid (less than 0.40 g / l), atrium chloride (below 7 g / l) A.S. .Zalmanov used a salt-free diet poor in proteins and did every 3 days 39-40-degree yellow turpentine baths with 60 ml of solution, lasting 15-20 minutes. And he got very good results.

Oleg Mazur in the practice of treating hypertension and other arterial hypertension used yellow turpentine baths every other day, starting with 20 ml of a yellow solution at a final bath temperature of 41-42 ° C, the Bircher-Binner diet and other diets, psychotherapy. The results were very good. For a course of treatment to obtain a stable result, an average of 15-25 turpentine baths were required. There were no negative side effects in any of the cases. A positive side effect was observed - physical rejuvenation of the body, especially in those patients who took baths in more than average amounts.

angina pectoris
Dr. Zalmanov advised using white turpentine baths for angina pectoris without high blood pressure, and for angina pectoris with high blood pressure blood, use yellow baths, and if blood pressure returns to normal, then do mixed baths. This modest therapy gave very satisfactory results. Angina attacks in patients stopped for a very long time.

myocardial infarction
A.S. Zalmanov began to apply his hydrotherapy 6 weeks after a heart attack. First, he prescribed 10 mixed turpentine baths to patients, then white ones, and if systolic blood pressure was above 170-180 mm Hg, then one yellow one was prescribed every two white or two mixed ones.

With a sufficiently prolonged use of turpentine hydrotherapy in patients ischemic disease heart, blood circulation in the heart muscle improves so much that not only angina pectoris disappears, but also various cardiac arrhythmias. Persistent use of turpentine baths gradually restores the normal rhythm of the heart and strengthens the heart muscle so much that even signs of heart failure sometimes disappear.

Obliterating endarteritis
A.S. Zalmanov argued that it is useless for patients with obliterating endarteritis to expect improvement with the use of various drugs and injections, since this disease still continues to progress and spread further through the arteries of the whole body. He said that there is no isolated arteritis only of the lower extremities. If you very patiently measure the temperature of the skin not only on the feet and legs, but also on the hands and forearms, it will always turn out that it is very low there too. With obliterating endarteritis without high blood pressure, he prescribed white turpentine baths. If the disease was accompanied by an upper pressure above 180 mm, he prescribed yellow baths, and with a systolic pressure of 170-190 mm - mixed turpentine baths.

On the advice of Dr. Mazur, the cure is more successful and faster if hot chest wraps are additionally applied, fruit and vegetable diets with fasting days, herbs, cool wraps but for the whole night. It is necessary to give up smoking and alcohol.

Joint diseases
When people have joint pain, it is customary in orthodox medicine to take x-rays to sum up the damage caused by the disease. On the radiographic film, a typical picture of bone changes appears, which is well seen by doctors. But at the same time, they forget that in any joint there is not only bone tissue, but also cartilage, as well as ligaments, tendons, muscles, fascia, synovial fluid (lubrication), nerves, lymphatic and blood vessels, and skin around the joint. Total 11 constituent parts. In addition, it must be borne in mind that the intra-articular fluid is in constant communication with the interstitial fluid. If, thanks to rational hydrotherapy, it is possible to improve the condition of 8 of these 11 constituent elements of the joints, then significant improvements in the entire joint as a whole are achieved. By creating a natural skin-muscular-nervous protection for a diseased joint with turpentine baths, it is possible to achieve a significantly more real and much longer improvement in work than with the help of surgical methods - arthrodesis and arthroplasty.

Turpentine Zalman's baths with in a healthy way life and natural treatment of the whole organism - normalization of pulmonary respiration, blood circulation and all secretions - in the vast majority of cases, they help restore the calcium content in the bones in osteoporosis (discharge of bone tissue), and with exostoses (growths on the bones) - normalize calcium metabolism and dissolve growths . Turpentine baths in case of hypocalcification (low calcium content) and osteomalacia (softening of the bones) help bring the amount of calcium back to normal. But with hypercalcification (increased calcium content), which is accompanied by the deposition of salts in different parts of the bone skeleton and the formation of various growths, they dissolve excess calcium, since only by increasing the blood circulation of the diseased joint can its normal mobility and flexibility be restored.

For the treatment of rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, deforming osteoarthritis and other arthrosis and arthritis, there are more than a hundred medical preparations. But their number only says how effective they are in treating these diseases. A.S. Zalmanov prescribed white turpentine baths to patients with deforming arthritis, which was almost never accompanied by an increase in blood pressure.

Rheumatoid arthritis
For orthodox medicine, this is one of the most difficult diseases of the joints to treat, which progresses from year to year, disfigures, distorts the hands and feet, torments with pain and leaves no hope for recovery for patients. Zalmanov's turpentine baths solve this most difficult task. In combination with proper nutrition, hot chest wraps, herbs, cleansing the body, a heating pad in the liver area and psychotherapy, turpentine baths can step by step restore good blood supply to the affected joints and internal organs that are involved in this disease. The number of Zalman's baths in one course of treatment depends on the degree of neglect of the disease. If the disease has just begun its journey and has not yet managed to distort the joints with deformation, it can be cured completely with 20-30 baths. If it has managed to develop, the number of baths increases and in severe cases reaches 50-70. But even advanced rheumatoid arthritis remains potentially treatable. He cannot resist the healing heat of turpentine baths. It is necessary to use mixed turpentine baths with a predominant proportion of white emulsion, if blood pressure is within normal limits.

Radiculitis. Osteocondritis of the spine
With sciatica and cervicobrachial neuritis, Zalmanov first prescribed daily baths, alternating white with yellow: after every two white baths, one yellow bath (60 ml, 39-40 degrees C, 16 minutes). If the blood pressure was not higher than 150 mm Hg, persistent pain relief was achieved in sciatica after 14-18 turpentine baths, in cervical-brachial neuritis after 24-30 baths.

The same treatment can be used with great success in all types of sciatica, lumbalgia, and various symptoms of osteochondrosis of the spine. For a stable cessation of pain, an average of 15-20 turpentine baths was required, but often the pain in the spine disappeared already in the first ten baths.

Consequences of injuries and injuries of bones and joints
Consequences of wounds of bones and joints, as well as post-traumatic ankylosis of the joints A.S. Zalmanov treated with mixed turpentine baths if the upper blood pressure was in the range of 150-180 mm Hg. If it was below 150 mm, then he began treatment with white baths. He managed to achieve mobilization of the joints, that is, the restoration of their motor functions, even when the duration of ankylosis reached 30 years! He cured post-traumatic ankylosis in an average of 3-4 months.

Spondylosis
Good news for patients suffering from spondylosis, a severe disease of the spinal column. A.S. Zalmanov called this disease terrible and wrote that the only way to cure it is to use hyperthermic baths every 2 days at an initial water temperature of 37 degrees C. gradually reaching 41-43 degrees C. After such a bath, a sick person is wrapped in several blankets and given a hot drink. He sweats profusely for 45 minutes. Then well covered, resting in bed for about 2 hours. During a hyperthermic bath, the temperature inside the patient's body rises by 0.8-3grC compared to the initial one. Zalmanov wrote that the results of such treatment were often striking. He considered this disease not curable by any other means.

In addition to hyperthermic baths, spondylosis, like other diseases of the spine, can be very successfully treated with courses of turpentine baths. At the same time, the results of the treatment appear earlier and are even more pronounced, especially if some good plant-based diet was additionally applied.

Polyneuritis
With polyneuritis, patients complain of pain, numbness, impaired skin sensitivity, various unpleasant sensations in the form of tingling, goosebumps, etc., cramps in the arms and legs, especially at night. In addition, polyneuritis can cause dizziness, headaches, irritability, sweating, pain in the heart, hearing loss.

Turpentine baths reduce trophic, vasomotor, sensory disturbances; improve peripheral blood circulation, including in the upper and lower extremities; increase mobile skin receptors; restore the activity of thermoregulatory systems; improve the function of the neuromuscular apparatus. According to clinical symptoms, 92.5% of patients treated with these baths had a positive effect. Of these, a significant improvement in health status was noted in 30% of patients, improvement - in 62.5%. In 5% of patients, there was a slight improvement in the condition, in 2.5% the condition did not change.

Polio
A.S. Zalmanov treated people who had polio, the use of turpentine baths gradually strengthened their muscles, while the ability to walk without orthopedic devices was restored after 15-18 months of persistent treatment.

Cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy is almost always accompanied by a decrease in blood pressure and tachycardia. A.S. Zalmanov with this disease regulated the pulse with infusion of adonis, and to improve the activity of the kidneys and liver, he used turpentine baths with 20-40 ml, up to 90-100 ml of a white emulsion. He did the first bath at a water temperature of 38 degrees, the second bath at a temperature of an aqueous solution of 39 degrees C. The duration of each bath was 15 minutes. For several months of such treatment, Zalmanov managed to achieve muscle recovery and almost normal blood circulation in atrophied areas of the body in patients with cerebral palsy, both in childhood and older.

Chronic myelopathy
Chronic myelopathy is a very complex and intractable neurological disease associated with the loss of the nerve sheaths of their myelin sheaths, through which nerve impulses pass through them. This group includes such standards of incurability as multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, neural and spinal amyotrophy, encephalomyelitis, leukoencephalitis and other diseases. For chronic myelopathies accompanied by an increase in blood pressure, Dr. Zalmanov began treatment with a series of yellow turpentine baths with a diet poor in salt and proteins. When the systolic (upper) pressure dropped to 160 mm Hg. Art., he began to add white turpentine emulsion to the yellow solution in the amount of 15,20,25 and 30 ml, up to 60 ml of white emulsion added to 60 ml of yellow solution, that is, he switched to mixed turpentine baths and made them even with systolic pressure 180 mm Hg, alternating with yellow: two mixed baths, one yellow, according to the formula used for hypertension.

Multiple sclerosis
Dr. Mazur has treated several patients with multiple sclerosis with Zalman's baths. The treatment was complex, aimed at the whole body. And not just the nervous system. In addition to yellow and mixed turpentine baths, hot chest wraps, hyperthermic baths, therapeutic dosed fasting, diets, K. Nishi's health system, herbs, psychotherapy methods, massages, physiotherapy exercises, cleansing the intestines, liver, kidneys and other methods were used. The results were good, especially in those patients who were able to complete a long course of treatment. This is a disease that is a model of incurability for orthodox medicine, treatable and curable by naturopathic methods.

Gynecological diseases
With his method, A.S. Zalmanov successfully treated women's diseases. In particular, with adnexitis (inflammation of the ovaries), he first prescribed 6-8 mixed turpentine baths with a temperature of 39 degrees, then switched to yellow baths with a temperature of up to 42 degrees, for 15 minutes each. Zalmanov's turpentine baths can also be used for salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes) and endometritis (inflammation of the uterus).

Eye diseases
Turpentine baths of A.S. Zalmanov turned out to be a successful way to treat some eye diseases. With glaucoma (increased eye pressure) and retinitis (inflammation of the retina), yellow baths proved to be very effective, which gradually lowered intraocular pressure to normal and restored blood circulation in diseased eye tissues.

Zalmanov's baths also helped well with iridocyclitis. With thrombosis of the central artery of the retina and thrombosis of the temporal artery, Dr. Zalmanov used a course of yellow turpentine baths with 60 ml of solution, temperature from 37 degrees to 42 and duration 16-17 minutes. The reliability of the disappearance of thrombosis and restoration of vision was confirmed by ophthalmologists.

Scars and adhesions
Clinical observations of a team of doctors presented by Z.A. Vasilyeva proved that Zalmanov's turpentine baths contribute to the resorption of internal and external scars and adhesions, which are formed from connective tissue after various injuries, wounds, burns and as a result of diseases.

AIDS(acquired immunodeficiency syndrome)
According to the optimistic assumption of Dr. Mazur, treatment with turpentine baths and other methods of capillary therapy will be successful.

Step by step, turpentine baths and other naturopathic methods will cleanse the AIDS-sick organism, restore the functions of all organs, metabolism, and raise its protective, healing mechanisms. When the body is cleansed of everything that HIV and other microorganisms involved in the formation of the clinical picture of AIDS can interact with, then there is no need to neutralize, split, destroy something and all the symptoms of AIDS will disappear, the sick person will be cured, because he will cleanse his internal environment .

Acute forms of diseases
Turpentine baths are much easier and faster to cope with acute diseases than chronic ones. If the chronic form may require 45-50 turpentine baths, then in the acute form of the same disease, it is enough to take only a few, maximum a dozen, baths. They must be taken according to the same rules as indicated for chronic diseases. You can use the schemes for the use of turpentine baths presented in this material.

What acute diseases are suitable for treatment with Zalmanov's capillary baths?

Almost all are suitable, which are indicated in the section "Indications for the use of turpentine baths." To this list, you can add all colds that exist in nature, for example, influenza, SARS, herpes infection, parainfluenza. It is highly recommended to treat acute bronchitis, laryngitis, tracheitis, rhinitis (runny nose), tonsillitis (tonsillitis), acute pneumonia with turpentine baths.

In addition, taking turpentine baths helps to rejuvenate the body, starting with the skin, which, under the influence of turpentine balms, becomes smooth, elastic and begins to be better supplied with blood.

Nutrition in the treatment of turpentine baths

Improper nutrition causes a significant increase in the content of toxic substances in the body, leads to a state of chronic autointoxication, which contributes to the emergence of various diseases, that is, causes the body to cleanse itself.

During treatment with turpentine baths, one of the types of vegetarianism, which is called a raw food diet, is first recommended. Combining the use of turpentine baths with a raw food diet is recommended primarily for those who suffer from cancer, overweight, as well as those with any liver disease.

People who, for a number of reasons, including psychologically, find it difficult to limit themselves to a raw food diet, can be recommended to combine treatment with capillary baths with the therapeutic diet of Dr. Bircher-Binner. Here are her top recommendations:
Give up alcohol and cigarettes - the whole point of a healthy diet is nullified by their toxic effect.
Refrain from the constant use of tea, coffee, chocolate - replace them with fresh juices and fruits.
Limit the consumption of bread - replace it with cereals, cereals.
Eat fresh fruit or vegetables 30 minutes before your main meal.
Do not use salt for dressing salads - it retains water in the body, which makes it difficult for the heart and kidneys to work.
The last meal should take place at least 4 hours before going to bed.
Half of the food you eat should be raw. It should be consumed before cooked food (boiled or stewed).
As you know, capillary baths significantly increase the basal metabolism, and this is accompanied by an increase in the patient's need for vitamin B1, which is directly related to the metabolism of carbohydrates. A relative deficiency of this vitamin can contribute to the appearance of disorders of the cardiovascular system. Nuts, buckwheat and oatmeal are especially rich in vitamin B1.

Yellow turpentine baths lower the body's alkaline reserve. A diet containing vegetables, fruits and berries in large quantities favors the normalization of acid-base balance.

Treatment with turpentine baths is much more effective when combined with a diet that is dominated by fruits, vegetables and other plant products.

How to distinguish a real bath from fakes?

Nowadays, there are a huge variety of white and yellow turpentine emulsions on sale. They differ in color, consistency and even in composition (!), but they are all called - "according to Zalmanov"! How to understand where is a fake in front of you, where is a fake, and where is the real Zalman's emulsion, which really helps. Let's figure it out.

The main thing is composition.

There is no mystery here. Zalmanov himself never hid it, on the contrary, he urged everyone to use his invention more widely, he believed that his emulsion could help millions of patients in need of radical treatment. True, it is worth noting that in the Soviet editions of Zalmanov's books, some changes were made to the composition of emulsions and to the methodology for its application. Apparently, this was done on purpose so that it would be impossible to prepare a seemingly simple composition at home, the then medical officials were terribly afraid that people would self-medicate. Therefore, the present composition can only be prepared from original French editions of books and numerous articles.

Many manufacturers do not pay attention to this, moreover, they replace expensive components with cheap analogues that are similar in color and consistency, but not in terms of therapeutic effect!

The basis of each emulsion is gum turpentine.

What it is? A transparent volatile liquid with a characteristic odor, without sediment and water, is a product of processing coniferous resin - liquid resin. Resin is received manual method- make special notches on the pine and collect the escaping resin in special containers for further thermal processing. Only such natural turpentine can be used for Zalmanov's baths. There is still chemical method obtaining turpentine - the stumps of coniferous trees are poured with gasoline, turpentine is extracted, and then it is freed from gasoline. Such turpentine is technical, produced on an industrial scale and used as a solvent for paints in the paint and varnish industry. The use of such turpentine for use in baths is strictly prohibited, because. it can cause chemical burns, eczema and weeping dermatitis. You can distinguish one turpentine from another, first of all, by the price - real gum turpentine costs 7-10 times more than technical one. So, the most expensive is turpentine, obtained from Siberian larch, back in the days Soviet Union 1 kg of this extract cost several thousand Soviet rubles! Nowadays, 1 liter of technical turpentine costs about 100 rubles, how much does real gum cost - consider for yourself. The first conclusion - do not buy cheap fakes, saving on your body always ends in failure.

The main active substance of turpentine is alpha foams, it is they that have the main effect, the effectiveness of treatment depends on their concentration in the solution.

The best domestic gum turpentine of the highest grade (GOST 1571-82) contains about 60% alpha-penenes and from 6 to 12% delta-3 carene - a substance that blocks the action of pinenes, already in this concentration causes burns on the skin and can lead to the development dermatitis.

Zalmanov himself used French turpentine obtained from maritime pine (90% pinenes and 0.5-0.7% delta-3 carene) to prepare the emulsion. Technical turpentine contains 10-15%, and delta-3 carene 42-55%.

The concentration of pinenes in our baths is 88-90%, and delta-3 carene is completely absent. In addition, oleic acid based on natural palm oil, salicylic acid and caustic alkali of the highest purity, natural camphor alcohol, water purified by reverse osmosis, special herbal supplements ...

By purchasing terpene balms "Amber" and "Pearl", you can be sure that:
To create them, only environmentally friendly raw materials are used, all components are of the highest quality.
Emulsions are made on the latest equipment that allows you to accurately follow the recipe.
The emulsions have been clinically tested.

If you have purchased just such an emulsion, then be sure that you have in your hands the legendary Zalmanov solution, which is able to restore your youth, beauty, health and prolong your life for very many years.

Balms prepared according to the recipe of Dr. A.S. Zalmanov. They strengthen and heal the body, normalize blood pressure, improve sleep, increase immunity, remove toxins from the body, and promote weight loss.

Order balms according to the prescription of Dr. A.S. Zalmanov

Doctor Zalmanov A.S. known throughout the world as a successful doctor who treated those chronic diseases that could not be cured official medicine traditional methods, and he did this with the help of his discovery -

Baths work best in three directions:

1. Cardiovascular chronic diseases, not amenable to treatment for 10-15 years, were almost completely cured with the use of turpentine baths by 81% of the number of chronic patients in 2-3 months of use.

2. Chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system- by 73%.

3. Chronic diseases of the broncho-pulmonary system- by 83%.

This, mind you, refers to those patients who have been treated for 10-15 years without positive results.

Application practice turpentine baths Zalmanova suggests that virtually all psychosomatic illnesses are treatable. And in the first place in terms of effectiveness is the treatment of problems associated with pressure: hypertension and hypotension. It must be said that the method of Dr. Zalmanov is based on capillary therapy, i.e. on the restoration of the bed of small vessels and capillaries, through which oxygen and nutrients are delivered to each cell, and waste products and toxins are removed through the lymphatic drainage system.

For those who do not immediately dare to take full baths for the whole body, who have problems with the hands, feet and vessels of the lower extremities, a method of foot and elbow baths has been developed.

Video material on Zalmanov's foot and elbow baths.

Today, turpentine baths are also used to reduce weight and get rid of cellulite, as well as for the purpose of rejuvenation.

The practice of using the Zalmanov bath.

Practice has convincingly shown the full validity of this theory.

Hypertension is treated almost completely, as the causes of the disease are eliminated, and not the symptoms.

First, a yellow (amber) turpentine bath is used (at a pressure of more than 140), then a mixture with white (pearl). With hypotension, treatment begins with a white bath. In both cases, it is necessary to start with 7-10 ml, and then gradually increase to 20 ml of white and 30 ml of yellow baths. In any case, the amount is selected according to individual feelings, the integrity of the skin and contraindications.

Turpentine baths have proved to be excellent for kidney failure, inflammation of the genitourinary system (cystitis, prostatitis). Prostatitis first occurs due to circulatory disorders. Therefore, in the event of stagnation, it is necessary to use baths against the background of other measures.

One of the few remedies for the treatment of muscle atrophy is Zalmanov's turpentine baths.

Bechterew's disease, in which ossification of the spine occurs, can proceed to a very small extent and enable the patient to move with regular use of baths. Today, this is practically the only remedy that can slow down the process for many years and prevent the progression of ossification.

With serious injuries, bone fractures, especially with hip fracture, baths bring invaluable benefits and speed up the healing process up to two times. It is necessary to wait for the restoration of the integrity of the skin that occurred during the injury.

Baths do not cure diabetes, since this is a deep disease, rather of the mind than of the body, but it removes the symptoms, as well as removes such manifestations as diabetic foot and problems with the vessels of the extremities.

Bath technique.

As for the method of application, it is in the annotation to the balm, but you can add a few details. Apply medical Vaseline or baby cream on mucous membranes that will be in contact with turpentine, i.e. genitals, groin, anus, elbow creases and popliteal cavities. A slight burning sensation is a good sign, a very strong one is a sign of a violation of the integrity of the skin or a contraindication.

Baths should only be taken in the evening, do not dry off and do nothing after the bath, only light gymnastics for the spine, then you should go to bed.

While taking a bath, the temperature should initially be 36-37 degrees, the time of the first bath is felt, but not more than 2-3 minutes, then gradually increase the time, bringing up to 10-15 minutes and the temperature up to 39-41 degrees. In total, the course must take from 20 to 60 baths with running chronic diseases, with breaks.

Zalmanov's turpentine baths have a significant impact on the rejuvenation process. Capillaries are restored and cleaned, firstly. The condition and appearance of the skin improves, secondly. Cellulite disappears, thirdly. To fight cellulite, you need to take at least 40 baths, i.е. this is about three months, given the breaks, which means that women need to start preparing for the summer season no later than March.

It is recommended not to be distracted while taking a bath, but to read Sytin's moods or think about those diseased organs that need to be cured, directing their attention to them and creating an image of youth and health. In addition, to improve the effect, you can an hour before the bath, drink healing herbal infusions needed for your specific disease.

The benefits of Dr. Zalmanov's turpentine baths have long been used both in professional medicine and for home treatment. Even our great-grandmothers treated bruises and rheumatism with turpentine.

And in the sanatoriums and dispensaries of our country, they began to be used in the middle of the last century. Why are turpentine baths named after this person? Because, based on many studies, Doctor of Medical Sciences Abram Solomonovich Zalmanov, one of the first to appreciate the benefits of turpentine baths, began to use them in the treatment of many diseases.

It was then that turpentine baths based on emulsions were widely used in various health resorts of the Soviet Union. And patients with diseases of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, excretory system, musculoskeletal system reached out, finding relief from pain, and getting rid of ailments.

Many then were convinced by their own experience of the healing properties of Zalmanov's turpentine baths, which, like diligent janitors, take out "garbage" from the human body, clean capillaries and blood vessels, bringing all our internal organs back to normal. You can make turpentine baths yourself at home by buying an emulsion of turpentine at a pharmacy.

… Capillary therapy cures 95% of diseases!
(Mazur Oleg Anatolyevich, naturopathic capillary therapist)

Since ancient times, people have known about natural benefit essential oils and learned how to take them from various plants. Because their benefits cannot be overestimated. Essential oil is a natural extract from a plant, its vital juice, its blood, it is a certain concentration of the life-giving forces of nature.

So turpentine was created on the basis of essential oils of coniferous plants, because resin (resin) is a “living force”, and is able to lift a person to his feet in the literal sense. In natural treatment, nature itself takes part, helping the recovery of a person. Therefore, emulsion-based turpentine baths are so recommended for use, bringing undoubted benefits.

Application

How to take Zalmanov's turpentine baths at home? There are several types of compositions for use: white turpentine baths (white emulsion), yellow turpentine baths (yellow solution), and mixed turpentine baths (mixture of white emulsion and yellow solution).

Each box with turpentine from any manufacturer has detailed instructions for use, which describes the scheme of administration. In general, all recommendations are the same. The following are general methods for each type of bath:

white emulsion

Mode of application:

Turpentine baths with a white emulsion for people with normal pressure, or slightly reduced. They do not cause heavy sweating, and do not require raising the temperature of the bath water. Slightly irritate the skin with burning or stinging. A turpentine bath with a white emulsion slightly increases or stabilizes the pressure.

At home, strict adherence to the rules for taking turpentine baths is required. The water temperature is 37-39 degrees. Keep an eye on the thermometer, add hot water as soon as it starts to cool. The procedure time is 5 - 20 minutes.

The bath is usually taken 1-1.5 tablespoons of the emulsion. At the end of the course, bring up to 8 tablespoons of the emulsion. After leaving the bath, measure the pressure, this is an important point. If it exceeds 150 mm Hg. Art., go to mixed baths, diluting the white emulsion and yellow.

The components of the white emulsion are turpentine, camphor alcohol, baby soap and salicylic acid. This composition leads to an improvement in metabolic processes and blood circulation.

These baths do not increase perspiration and do not raise the general body temperature. When taking a bath with resin, a slight burning sensation is felt, if it is absent, then the amount of emulsion must be increased.

yellow solution

Mode of application:

Baths for those who suffer from high blood pressure. Yellow turpentine baths reduce pressure by expanding capillaries. They remove with perspiration, through the skin of a person, metabolic products. For the first procedure, 1 tablespoon of the emulsion is enough.

The water temperature is 37 degrees. The emulsion may clump on the surface of the water, this is acceptable. Every three minutes, add hot water, increasing the temperature by 1 degree, gradually bringing it to 42 degrees. The lumps of emulsion will disperse. Gradually, day by day, we increase the amount of emulsion, by the end of the course up to 8 tablespoons.

The components of the yellow emulsion are turpentine, caustic soda, oleic acid and Castor oil. The composition reduces high blood pressure, causes increased sweating and raises the overall body temperature, this helps to remove toxins and cleanse the body.

Baths cleanse blood vessels, joints and tendons, remove excess uric acid and help with joint pain, help remove excess fluid and are used for weight loss.

Alternating yellow and white bathtubs

Here it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the organism and it is very important individual approach. It all depends on your blood pressure. You can alternately take white and yellow baths.

It is possible to mix emulsions in one bath. It is important to know the pressure threshold and the nature of the disease.

Dr. Zalmanov practiced alternating baths, two white, one yellow. In this case, blood pressure should be normal, familiar to you. If you feel an exacerbation of the disease, reduce the frequency of baths and the duration of the procedures, but do not stop.

The course of treatment at home (therapeutic), can be daily or every other day. Duration is usually from 10-12 days. Read the instructions carefully. Depending on the diagnosis, you need to choose the correct concentration of the solution and emulsion.

You must have the following items: a water thermometer, a watch, a measuring spoon or container, a blood pressure monitor, cream or petroleum jelly, in case of skin irritation, a bathrobe or towel.

After taking a turpentine bath, without drying yourself, wrap yourself in a warm bathrobe, and rest lying down for at least an hour, covered with a blanket. Favorable home conditions will allow you to do this. After that, rinse with warm water.

And for those who are overweight, you can safely advise baths with a yellow emulsion. After all, in the process of adopting the procedure, intensive fat burning occurs.

Turpentine literally dissolves subcutaneous fat and promotes its removal from the body with sweating. In addition, turpentine perfectly cares for your skin. Tightens it, acne and blurs scars.

But if you feel a strong burning sensation during the procedure, stop it, you have an increased sensitivity to essential oils. So, you need to reduce the concentration by two or three times. Re-read the instructions, you may have missed something.

mixed

In such baths, white and yellow emulsions are mixed or alternated. They have a milder effect, do not affect blood pressure, treat diseases of the blood and heart, organs of movement, urinary system, stimulate the work gastrointestinal tract and liver, are indicated in the treatment of gynecological, neurological and skin diseases.

The bath must be filled halfway, prepare the emulsion according to the instructions, mix it with a small amount of water and add to the water.

Initially, the recommended water temperature is from 37 degrees with a gradual increase to 40 degrees, the bath time is approximately 15-20 minutes and depends on one's own feelings. The temperature should be pleasant and not cause pain.

It is necessary to lie on your back, keep your head above the water. After the bath, without rinsing, blot the body and lie under the covers, keeping warm. After about an hour you can take a shower without detergents. Thus, a turpentine film will remain on the skin.

It is advisable to enhance the effect of a yellow bath with tea with raspberries or honey.

At the very beginning of taking baths, the emulsion is added in a minimal amount, about 20 ml. The concentration of the emulsion should be increased gradually by only 1 spoon and up to a maximum of 8 spoons per bath. Taking baths should not be accompanied by unpleasant sensations, with a strong burning sensation, it is necessary to immediately interrupt the procedure and consult a doctor.

The frequency of taking baths is every day during the first week of admission, every other day during the second and third weeks, then twice a week, and subsequently as needed.

Try not to get the solution or emulsion into your eyes! Be sure to keep the emulsion away from children!

Zalmanov's turpentine baths, of course, first of all have a beneficial effect on vitality person. Dr. Zalmanov, taking into account the experience of our ancestors, found a unique remedy in the fight against ailments and diseases.

Thanks to the magical power of resin, the human body, as it were, wakes up and renews itself. No wonder in the old days, our great-grandmothers used pure turpentine to treat bruises, radiculitis and other ailments.

At home, the emulsion should be stored in a dark place, at natural temperature.

Recovery with turpentine baths

Recovery with the help of turpentine baths or baths according to Zalmanov involves taking baths with natural gum turpentine. The method of dissolving gum turpentine in water was developed by Dr. Abram Solomonovich Zalmanov, hence its name.
Therapeutic effect of turpentine baths

Turpentine used for medicinal purposes is not the one used in industry. This is a natural natural substance from the resin-resin of coniferous trees, which has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, analgesic and antiseptic properties.

Turpentine baths according to Zalmanov at home contribute to the expansion of blood vessels, improve blood flow, enhance metabolic processes, lead to self-purification of the body, remove toxins, increase immunity and performance, relieve stress, tone the skin, promote weight loss and get rid of cellulite.

Many spa treatments can be performed without visiting the salon, at home. One of them is turpentine baths used for therapeutic and prophylactic and cosmetic purposes. We will talk about the varieties of this procedure, its purposes and limitations, as well as the stages of the implementation.

Turpentine baths - composition

The main component used in this spa procedure, as the name implies, is turpentine. This organic substance, in fact, is a mix of all kinds of essential oils that are extracted from pine trees. The raw material is fresh resin extracted through cuts in the wood and subjected to distillation. The resulting compound has powerful disinfectant, warming, analgesic properties.

On the basis of gum turpentine, not only means for taking water baths are made. It is used for the production of external ointments and creams. In addition, preparations are produced called "Dry turpentine baths", which are balms for rubbing different parts of the body. Such products are not able to completely repeat the effect of turpentine baths and replace them, but they have a noticeable effect and are recommended in the absence of the possibility of taking baths.

We owe the invention of the method of baths with turpentine to Dr. A.S. Zalmanov, who discovered it at the beginning of the twentieth century, studying the possibilities of the therapeutic use of natural substances. One of the main directions of his scientific and practical work has become capillary therapy - the treatment of various diseases by influencing the capillary network. The doctor developed methods for dissolving turpentine for hydrotherapy procedures, which became the main tool for capillary therapy.

Turpentine for bathing, according to Zalmanov's developments, is used in the form of three forms with different additional ingredients (recipes from different manufacturers may vary). These are forms such as:

• yellow mixture;
• white mixture;
• mixed solution.

Yellow turpentine baths

Yellow turpentine bath solution, in addition to high-quality turpentine, which occupies ½ of the composition, includes the following additives:

• Castor oil;
• oleic acid;
• water;
• sodium hydroxide.

The effect of the yellow mixture is based on the expansion of capillaries, the removal of pathological deposits from them. In addition, joint, tendon and ligamentous mineral deposits dissolve, excess fluid is removed, breathing deepens, and blood pressure decreases. There is an increase in body temperature, increased sweating, acceleration of metabolism.

White turpentine baths

White turpentine bath emulsion, half composed of gum turpentine, includes as additional substances such as:

• water;
• crushed baby soap;
• salicylic acid;
• willow bark extract.

The white emulsified form, characterized by the complete and uniform dissolution of the ingredients, causes rhythmic contractions of the vessels, in which they alternately expand and contract. This leads to the normalization of cardiac activity, an increase in pressure. Muscle spasms are relieved, heat transfer is accelerated. At the same time, this type of procedure does not contribute to intensive sweating and an increase in temperature.

Mixed turpentine baths

The third form is Zalmanov's mixed turpentine baths, prepared by combining in certain proportions, depending on diseases and individual features human, yellow and white turpentine mixtures. Based on the proportions, you can regulate blood pressure to the optimal level. In addition, the expansion and purification of capillaries is caused, other effects inherent in certain types of baths are achieved.

Turpentine baths - indications and contraindications

The highly effective hydrotherapy method in question is not in all cases able to bring healing, and sometimes it can cause complications. Before turpentine baths began to be used, their benefits and harms were carefully studied, thanks to which the appointments for the treatment course and the limitations to the possibility of using this therapeutic method were clearly defined.

Turpentine baths - indications

Using turpentine baths, the benefits will not be felt immediately. Under the action of turpentine and additional components, many processes in the body are normalized, tissues are better supplied with valuable substances and cleansed of harmful accumulations, the protective functions of the body are enhanced, and rejuvenation processes are activated. Because turpentine baths are not suitable for everyone, it is strongly recommended to undergo a full examination of the body in advance and consult a doctor.

Procedures can be prescribed for such basic pathologies:

Turpentine baths for weight loss

Many girls practice turpentine baths according to Zalmanov at home for the purpose. In this case, a mixed form of solution is recommended. The effect is achieved by activating metabolic processes and blood flow, removing excess fluid and toxins. According to reviews, the procedures allow you to lose up to 7 kg in 10 sessions, carried out daily, every other day or twice a week, but in combination with these, you should follow a diet and exercise.

Turpentine baths for joints

The active substance of the therapeutic mixture, due to the ability to eliminate blood stasis in the capillaries and improve their work, helps to establish the supply of nutrients to the joints, eliminate inflammation and restore mobility. In this case, you can do local procedures - for example, turpentine foot baths. The course of treatment can take up to 40 procedures.

Turpentine baths in gynecology

Procedures with turpentine are effective in many women's diseases, they can relieve inflammation in the pelvis, regulate hormonal levels, and normalize the menstrual cycle. In addition to various inflammatory pathologies, 10-12 sessions can significantly improve the situation with adhesive disease, infertility. Turpentine baths at home for the treatment of gynecological pathologies should be used with extreme caution.

Turpentine baths for facial skin

Treatment with turpentine baths, which have a systemic beneficial effect on the entire body, can also be used to solve some cosmetic problems. Thus, the procedures help to get rid of skin rashes on the face, smooth out wrinkles, increase tissue elasticity, and improve complexion. Often, a white emulsion is used for these purposes.

Bathing has a beneficial effect on the entire body. Such procedures relieve stress, relax, sleep after them is strong and healthy, as a result, vitality and efficiency increase. And at the same time, their main purpose is to get rid of diseases. In many sanatoriums, the list of procedures includes turpentine baths, or Zalmanov baths, named after the inventor, who devoted most of his life to studying this issue.

A.S. Zalmanov, who began his career back in pre-revolutionary Russia, was convinced that pathological processes in the body were caused by disruption of the capillaries. Modern discoveries of scientists confirm this, proving that the vast majority of diseases of internal organs arise as a result of a lack of cell nutrition, that is, in violation of capillary blood flow.

In what cases are turpentine baths taken?

Turpentine baths are present in the list of wellness procedures in many sanatoriums.

These baths, related to natural (natural) methods of treatment, are used in the following cases:

• with heart disease;
• with insufficient blood flow in the lower extremities;
• with joint disease;
• with diseases of the spine;
• with diabetes;
• with diseases of the respiratory tract;
• with urological and gynecological diseases;
• in diseases affecting the nervous system;
• with problem skin;
• for weight loss and cellulite control.

Gum turpentine (turpentine oil) - essential oil obtained from pine resin (resin).

Types of baths and their impact

Scientists have developed two types of therapeutic liquids for taking water procedures: white turpentine emulsion and yellow turpentine solution. Zalmanov recommended taking baths with such additives in turn, since white ones open the capillaries, and yellow ones clean them of toxins. Exception for people with high or low blood pressure. At high pressure, only yellow and mixed are made, at low pressure, exclusively white and mixed.

The use of ready-made turpentine mixtures allows you to enjoy spa treatments at home

White emulsion (distilled water, gum turpentine, crushed baby soap, camphor alcohol, salicylic acid) is an emulsified form of turpentine. Baths with this composition are shown to people with low blood pressure. When taking white baths, the capillaries open up, begin to contract intensively, moving blood to the cells. As a result, the blood supply and nutrition of the internal organs and tissues increase, while the pressure rises.

A yellow solution (distilled water, gum turpentine, castor oil, oleic acid, sodium hydroxide) is used by people with high blood pressure. When taking yellow baths, toxic waste products of cell activity begin to actively “burn out” in the capillary network, cellular metabolism normalizes, internal scars and adhesions dissolve, accumulated slag deposits in the joints and on the walls of blood vessels dissolve, intense sweating occurs, while pressure decreases.

Mixed baths allow you to combine both solutions in different proportions, due to which they have a wider spectrum of action. After taking them, capillary blood circulation improves, water-salt metabolism normalizes, hemorrhages, adhesions, scars resolve, while blood pressure does not change significantly.

Influence on diseases and ailments

The cardiovascular system

Baths expand capillaries, promote the appearance of new vessels, accelerate blood flow, expand coronary vessels, improve metabolic processes in the myocardium, gradually normalize the heart rhythm and strengthen the heart muscle.

Musculoskeletal system

Baths contribute to the restoration of cartilage tissue of the joints and spine. Reducing pain and increasing mobility in the spine occurs after taking 3-4 procedures.

Back in 1968, scientists proved the effect of turpentine baths on accelerating metabolism in nervous, muscle, and bone and cartilage tissues. It has found wide application in the treatment of diseases of the joints, spine, and also in the recovery of athletes after injuries and preparing for competitions.

With diabetes

Baths thin the blood, restore the tone and permeability of the walls of blood vessels, increase muscle blood flow. And this, in turn, is the prevention of such serious complications of diabetes as necrosis and gangrene. There is a noticeable decrease in blood sugar levels due to increased tissue sensitivity to insulin and normalization of glucose tolerance.

For respiratory disease

Baths increase blood flow in the lungs, which contributes to the rapid disappearance of inflammation and swelling of the bronchi. Breathing improves, sputum separation increases, and the removal of toxic substances from the lungs is activated.

The use of courses of such baths is effective for people working in the chemical industry, for active and passive smokers, with chronic bronchitis and pneumonia.

Urology and gynecology

Baths for chronic prostatitis relieve inflammation, by improving microcirculation, normalize prostate function. Progress is already observed by the 10-12th procedure. Restoration of capillary patency promotes blood filling of the cavernous bodies of the penis, restoration of erection, which makes such baths effective for impotence and infertility in men.

In women, the restoration of blood flow contributes to the removal of inflammatory processes in the pelvis, the normalization of hormonal levels and menstrual cycle. There is a positive effect of such baths in infertility, adhesive disease, chronic adnexitis, cystitis and other inflammatory processes.

Nervous system

Baths contribute to the resumption of blood flow in the affected parts of the brain, as a result, paralysis and paresis disappear, and the activity of the autonomic nervous system normalizes. There are good results in the treatment of children who have had viral encephalitis, poliomyelitis, suffering from cerebral palsy.

Problem skin

In cosmetology, the ability of turpentine baths to dissolve scars and adhesions, as well as to rejuvenate, smooth the skin and reduce the depth of wrinkles, is widely used.

For cellulite

Baths increase blood flow to problem areas, help lower cholesterol, accelerate fat metabolism. It is known that patients with a normal complexion practically do not lose weight. This fact once again proves that weight loss occurs as a result of the normalization of metabolism.

Preparation for procedures

So, you have decided to take turpentine baths to get rid of a certain problem. Where to begin?

1. First, during the week, measure and record your blood pressure 2-3 times a day at the same time. Supervision is necessary to rule out an unsuitable bath.
2. Secondly, consult your doctor to choose the right white emulsion, yellow solution, or mixture of both, depending on the pressure, general condition and diagnosis. You can independently determine the mode of taking baths according to the diagram below.
3. And, thirdly, you need to purchase two types of liquid and the necessary equipment.

One of important conditions to start taking baths - the absence of traces of urticaria, furunculosis, eczema and other dermatological diseases on the body. If there are such foci on the skin, Zalmanov recommends taking baths with infusion of walnut leaves for several weeks for healing.

Before taking turpentine baths, it is necessary to measure blood pressure

For the procedure we need:

• watch (in a case protected from moisture);
• small (up to 100 ml) and large (up to 1000 ml) measuring cups;
• bath thermometer.

Before you start filling the bath, it must be washed well so that no dirt gets into the water and the treatment solution.

The bath is filled with water of the required temperature. The white emulsion must be shaken well before use. The required amount of emulsion or solution is measured with a small measuring cup, poured into a large one, topped up with hot water (50-60 ° C) to a volume of 500-700 ml, mix well and add to the bath.

If the drug is poured directly from a small measuring container into a bath where the water temperature is 36-37 ° C, then most of it will remain floating on the surface of the water in the form of a film. Therefore, it is pre-bred in very hot water. Then most of it dissolves in the water column, and the smaller one floats to the surface.

In order to avoid burns, especially sensitive areas of the skin (armpits, inguinal folds, perineum, places of scratches on the skin) are recommended to be lubricated with petroleum jelly before the bath.

How and how much to dive

The selection of turpentine baths is carried out individually, taking into account such factors as the patient's age, pressure, general condition, what temperature and concentration of the emulsion or solution the skin tolerates. Therefore, the general recommendations the frequency of reception may vary depending on the sensations.

The schemes of application in tables 1-3 are universal, but Dr. Zalmanov, in addition to the monocourse, gave recommendations on the alternation of these procedures for the treatment of certain diseases, the main ones are given in table 4. Currently, there are already many such methods.

It is impossible to take baths at pressures over 160/90. In this case, it must first be reduced with medications and local application of yellow baths for hands and feet, and after that it is allowed to immerse yourself in the bath completely. In this case, the pressure must be controlled before and after the procedure.

White bath

The frequency of taking baths depends on the patient's condition: elderly or weakened people perform such procedures once every three days, younger and stronger people can take the first 4-5 days daily, the next 10 baths - every other day, the rest - once every three days or two once a week.

yellow bath

Such baths are immersed every other day. With a weakened body - in two days for the third or twice a week.

Important! If you find it difficult to tolerate an increase in the temperature of the water in the bath above 39 °C it is necessary to withstand the entire duration of the procedure at this mark and not further increase.

Variations of this scheme are allowed depending on the general well-being of the patient, the state of the cardiovascular system and the level of blood pressure. With a weakened body, the amount of both liquids for the first bath can be 5 ml each. Such baths are used once or twice a week.

Important! In the case of an increase or decrease in pressure during treatment, the ratio of the yellow solution to the white emulsion changes.

After taking a bath, you should, without drying yourself, wrap yourself in a sheet or put on a terry dressing gown, lie down in bed, drink hot tea or infusion, cover yourself warmly for 20-40 minutes to increase sweating. Then wipe off sweat (you can rinse under warm shower) and rest in bed for about an hour. But it is best to take a bath before going to bed, then you can calmly relax and fall asleep.

The duration of the course of procedures is arbitrary, usually baths are taken until the maximum therapeutic effect is achieved.

Side effects and contraindications

During the reception, and sometimes after it appears skin reaction in the form of a feeling of light burning, tingling, tingling. It is normal for the sensation to subside within 15-40 minutes after the bath. If the reaction is strong or too long, then the dose of the turpentine mixture for the next dose is not increased until the skin gets used to it.

When treating the skeletal system, joint pain and body temperature may increase, but this is not a reason to cancel the procedure. As in the case of hypersensitivity of the skin, at the subsequent intake, the concentration of the turpentine mixture in water is reduced.

During the course of turpentine baths, you can not take hormonal drugs, as well as other synthetic drugs, make any injections. Alcohol intake is excluded. Recall that white emulsion baths are not used for high blood pressure, and yellow solution baths for low blood pressure.

The described baths have some contraindications. This is:

• diseases in which conventional baths are also contraindicated (thrombophlebitis, heart disease, etc.);
• oncological diseases;
• trophic ulcers;
• acute heart failure;
• conditions of acute myocardial infarction or cerebral stroke;
• arrhythmia;
• acute form of skin diseases (psoriasis, eczema);
