The famous Russian doctor Alexander Myasnikov spoke about the most commonly used folk remedies for diseases that do not bring the desired result.

Nose drops from onion and garlic.

Although a solution prepared from these vegetables may provide temporary relief from breathing, the doctor does not recommend its use on a permanent basis.. First of all, because of the possibility of getting a mucosal burn with an incorrectly chosen concentration. Easier and more effective for a runny nose - use sea salt solution, saline, sea water.

Warming up the nose with hot steam.

When using this method with a cold and runny nose, the risk of getting even more swelling of the mucous membranes increases, which will lead to even more difficulty breathing.. Also, the possibility of getting burned by hot steam is not excluded..

Treatment of angina with kerosene.

We should not forget that tonsillitis is a viral disease, and “treating” it with kerosene is not only pointless, but also life-threatening, since you can simply get poisoned. In some people, the use of kerosene can cause a severe allergic reaction..

Worms enema.

In folk medicine, the method of combating worms is often used - an enema of milk with garlic.. But even here there will be no benefit, since worms inhabit the entire large intestine.. It is simply not realistic to clean it with such an enema, but it is possible to cause intestinal upset..

Treatment of ulcers with cabbage juice.

Almost everyone already knows that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori is to blame for the development of stomach ulcers.. For this reason, cabbage juice will not be able to cope with it.. In this case, only specific treatment will help.. In addition, cabbage juice is considered quite difficult to digest, and besides, it causes bloating..

In conclusion, Dr. Myasnikov said that he does not deny the benefits of traditional medicine, only if it is completely safe for humans..
