In Soviet times, banks were the main assistant in the treatment of many colds. Banks and mustard plasters were the main procedures against bronchitis and SARS. After some time, banks began to use less often and even opinions appeared about their futility. However, today the popularity of cans is growing again - today they are used against a wider range of diseases. So, what are banks, how do they work, what do they treat and how to put them, let's try to figure it out.
What are banks
A can is a small glass container that is sucked onto the skin with a vacuum. Usually banks are placed on their backs. The traditional jar is made of glass. Its volume is small - only 50-70 ml. The edges of such jars are rounded so as not to damage the skin. Modern cans are made from a polymer that is easier to use. To set up such a jar, you do not need to use fire, which makes the procedure safer. Combined cans are also on sale - the part (edge) is made of glass, and the balloon itself is rubber. They are also easy to use.
The principle of operation of the can is simple. With the help of the vacuum that forms in the jar, the skin is sucked in. As a result, blood circulation improves, anesthetic effect is achieved, inflammation is relieved. Today banks are used very widely.
What can be cured with cans
Here is a far from complete list of diseases in which banks can be useful.
- The most common use of cans is the treatment of the respiratory system. Pneumonia, bronchitis, pneumonia - banks will complement conservative treatment and accelerate recovery. Due to the powerful rush of blood to the designated areas, the protective function of the body is enhanced, the cells begin to work more actively. After several procedures, sputum leaves much easier, the cough softens.
- Often banks are used in the treatment of neuralgia, radiculitis. Banks increase blood circulation in a certain area, which gives an analgesic effect.
- Recently, canned massage is gaining popularity, which is not only very useful, but also insanely pleasant.
- Banks perfectly absorb skin, increasing blood flow to this area. And if you carefully move the jar, you can achieve a deep massage of the lower layers of the epidermis and lymph. It is very effective for cellulite. Today, banks are one of the most effective ways to get rid of cellulite.
- Banks have a distracting effect. When blood rushes to the back, it rushes from the head, which significantly reduces headache during migraines.
- It is proved that regular use of cans strengthens the immune system, since active blood circulation stimulates the immune cells to work harder.
Knowing about these many ways to use cans, you will be sure that they should be in every home!
How to put cans
Here is a simple and detailed action algorithm that will help you put the jars correctly, even if you have never done this before.
- For the procedure, you will need the cans themselves, alcohol, a small glass container, matches, tweezers and cotton wool.
- The patient lies on the bed, the back needs to be smeared with cream.
- If the jars are polymer, it is not difficult to put them, just press the soft part and attach to the skin. When releasing the rubber part, the vacuum will suck in part of the skin, and the jar will independently fix in the right place.
- Remember, cans can be placed on the back, on the chest near the collarbone, on the hips, on the lower back and on the side of the chest.In no case can banks be placed on the mammary glands, on the spine or region of the heart, or in the kidney area. When coughing and bronchitis, banks should be placed in two rows along the spine 5-7 cm on both sides of it.
- Putting glass jars is a little harder. One must be careful when handling fire. To protect the patient, his head can be covered with a towel so that the fire does not accidentally fall on them.
- Take a large medical tweezers and wrap it with cotton wool. Pinch the beginning of a cotton swab between the two halves of the tweezers so that the cotton wool lies more tightly.
- Then pour a little alcohol into the glass container. Dip the cotton wool tweezers into the alcohol and let the cotton soak.
- When the cotton is wet enough, it will need to be squeezed against the edge of the container so that the liquid does not drain.
- Gently set fire to the alcoholized cotton wool. Next, you need to act quickly.
- In the right hand we hold tweezers with burning cotton. In the left we take the jar. We hold it upside down, but not directly, but slightly at an angle.
- We put the burning cotton wool inside the jar. We need to ensure that the fire burns oxygen inside the can, it usually takes literally two seconds.
- After that, sharply remove the burning cotton from the jar, and place it on the skin. The lack of air creates a vacuum, and the skin will attract itself inside the can. If you did everything correctly, the jar will not fall, but will be attached to the skin tightly enough.
- In the same way, you need to put all the other banks. The number of cans delivered depends on the severity of the disease and the age of the patient. Usually enough 6-10 cans.
- If the jars are placed against cellulite, after installation they should be carefully guided along the thigh in a circular motion so that it does not detach.
- After all the cans are delivered, you need to cover the patient with a blanket and let him lie down in this position for a while. Usually banks do not cause any discomfort.
- After 15-20 minutes, you can remove the cans. To do this, carefully move the skin at the edge of the attached can to let in air. When the jar loses its vacuum, it will be very easy to remove. In no case do you need to pull on the can body, otherwise you can injure your skin.
- After that, lubricate the patient's back with baby cream to soothe the epidermis.
Usually, banks are put to bed so that after the procedure a person can lie under a blanket and fall asleep. The positive effect in this case is enhanced.
Precautionary measures
We have already told you in which area of the body the cans can be placed, but it is not much better. However, you need to know in which situations banks cannot be placed at all. Firstly, cans should not be placed at high temperatures - only when the patient is in a stable condition. In addition, banks do not set for tuberculosis and cancer. You can not resort to this treatment if the patient’s body is exhausted, if there is internal bleeding. Banks can not be treated if the skin has injuries, wounds, abrasions. You can not put banks on the skin with a large number of moles - the risk of damage is high.
With great care, you need to put cans for children. In general, such a procedure can be resorted to only after three years of age, when the child begins to understand at least something. But remember, if the baby refuses and cries badly - do not injure his psyche, do not force the cans. Old people with a weakened immune system and heart disease should put banks only after consultation and permission from a doctor.
After using the cans, they should be thoroughly washed and sanitized. Especially if not only one person uses them. In no case do not use the jar if you notice a chip or crack on it. Cans should be stored dry in a sterile box. Never use gasoline or kerosene instead of alcohol as a fuel. It may be dangerous. If you are doing the procedure for the first time, you can not keep the jars on the body for more than 10 minutes.Usually, after the first procedure, an improvement is noticeable - the cough softens. Banks can be bet 3-5 days in a row to achieve a full recovery.

Insidious reporters have suggested that this is a new kind of doping. And this is just simple cans.
