Sick joints mean a serious limitation in the mobility of the limbs, as well as sharp and nagging pains that can and should be eliminated. Along with official (generally accepted medical) methods of solving the problem, treatment of joints with foil is also proposed. This method can safely be considered a folk method; numerous reviews testify to its effectiveness and feasibility.
People claim that undergoing several therapy sessions using foil makes them feel better.
Specific properties of foil
Treatment of joints with foil cannot be considered ancient knowledge, since the material itself went on sale not so long ago. Essentially, foil is a very thin aluminum sheet that is flexible, lightweight and ductile. This is a practical material that can take on a variety of shapes. This is what is used in cooking. But recently, patients who suffer from various diseases have been able to learn about the peculiarities of the effects of steel sheets.
The plastic sheet can be easily wrapped around the joint. It is believed that it will reflect infrared radiation, beneficially affecting the integrity, performance, and health of the joint.
Treatment of joints with food foil is a method used at home. Only the person himself can judge its effectiveness, having tried a simple way to get rid of pain and restore the functionality of the joint.
It will be useful for patients to know that the method has begun to be used in medicine. Thin aluminum sheets are used as screens that reflect various radiations. You can find the appropriate devices in physiotherapy rooms, where patients with diseases of the musculoskeletal system undergo hardware treatment.
How the technique works: there is a theory that aluminum foil is capable of reflecting the biological currents of the body, helping to eliminate pain, and restore damaged tissues. It is this material that screens biocurrents, ensuring the normalization of blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. This will lead to restoration of the joint's functionality.
Important! You should not trust the health of your joints only to foil. This process is lengthy, it will require visiting a doctor, undergoing a number of diagnostic procedures, and using medications. In addition to shielding biocurrents when using foil, the method will give positive results.
Positive properties
Foil is a natural material that has many healing properties. With its help, traditional healers recommend treating diseased joints, since it can restore damaged cells, promote their proper nutrition, and proper metabolism.
Among the main positive qualities of foil is its tendency to reflect infrared radiation and heat, biocurrents emanating from the internal organs of the body.
Thanks to the ability of the metal to return bioenergetic impulses in the opposite direction, the following occurs:
- regeneration of damaged joints;
- pain relief;
- reduction of swelling;
- relieving inflammation;
- relaxation of tense muscle fibers;
- improvement of motor functions of joints;
- activation of blood and lymph flow, tissue nutrition;
- normalization of metabolic processes.
Foil is credited with:
- strengthening the immune system;
- restoration of capacity (replenishment of lost vitality and energy).
Among the positive qualities of metallized paper, the following are also noted:
- safety;
- availability;
- ease of use.
The method is also used if the patient has mental disorders, a tendency to depression has been identified, and a sharp change in mood is characteristic. After treatment, the patient’s condition stabilizes, vitality appears, and overall well-being improves.
The result of applying aluminum compresses becomes noticeable after the first sessions.
The essence of treating joints with foil
Foil for joints is used at home. Medical institutions use specialized devices that have a reflective effect, and therefore have a beneficial effect on the condition of tissues and joints.
The essence of the influence method is as follows:
- For joint pain, foil is applied to the affected area. The size of the sheet will depend on the affected area; often 1–2 cm is enough to wrap a sore finger or apply to the elbow or lumbar area.
- Biological currents that the body itself will emit are reflected from the foil and return back.
- Ensures normal interaction between epidermal cells and the matrix field.
- The metal will reflect not only the biofield, but also electromagnetic vibrations and thermal energy, warming and soothing the sore spot.
- Biological processes in cells that are affected by their own biocurrents are gradually restored.
A course of procedures allows you to reduce pain, restore mobility of each joint, and start the process of breaking down uric acid. It is she who influences the development of a number of diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
Using food foil for joint pain is a method that is increasingly being used by specialized clinics. Doctors do not deny the existence and interconnection of biocurrents.
Aluminum foil is used in the treatment of the liver, bladder, heart, and it also helps in the process of losing weight. A prerequisite for treatment is the control of a doctor who monitors the patient’s condition.
What kind of foil can be used for treatment?
You can treat joints with aluminum foil, which is intended for use at home (you can buy it in stores under the name “food foil for preparing and storing food”).
This is the thinnest metal sheet (as thick as a sheet of paper), rolled out on special machines, which has the following properties:
- easily wrinkles and tears;
- sterile because it is rolled out hot (under the influence of high temperature);
- does not collapse under the influence of sweat and fat;
- quite resistant to chemicals (a thin oxide film forms on the surface, which protects the material from chemical reactions, and the body from metal penetration).
Food foil
Benefits of use
The vast majority of the material is used as an effective auxiliary measure that allows you to get rid of pain and prevent the development of the disease. It is safe to use food industry products, but this is not the only advantage of the method.
Additional benefits of using food foil include:
- Low cost of goods and procedures. The purchase of such products will not require a lot of money; often they are already available in the homes of compatriots;
- Foil for joint pain can be used at home, especially when a person does not have the opportunity or means to attend expensive procedures;
- Strengthening the effect of compresses. The benefit of foil for joints is that it enhances the effect of tinctures, rubs, and ointments. The product has a beneficial effect, allows you to preserve precious heat and enhance the therapeutic effect of the procedure;
- Providing warmth – sore joints require warming up. This method is often effective. When using food foil, body heat will not escape, having a beneficial effect;
- Ease of use. The procedure does not require any special preparation. It is enough to use a sheet of foil, and also apply it to the cleaned body and fix it correctly. The time of use is calculated by the patient himself, based on his feelings and the doctor’s recommendations. You can wear the foil for 10–120 minutes.
Restoration of joints when using foil material occurs gradually, and therefore several sessions may be required. Their number is discussed with the doctor, but often up to 14–21 sessions are recommended.
How can you use foil to treat joints?
Traditional medicine offers various methods of treating joints with foil. However, do not forget that a simple sheet of aluminum cannot completely solve the problem. To restore health and prevent the progression of diseases, you should seek help from a doctor. Only he will be able to recommend the use of physiotherapeutic methods and prescribe a number of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Numerous applications have proven that the use of foil has a positive effect - in some patients the pain goes away completely and never returns. This is typical for injuries. Others testify to the fact that the pain does not go away completely, but the condition improves significantly.
And even though doctors are not entirely clear how foil helps with joint pain, the method, in combination with others, works well. There are several ways to use the lightweight and flexible material:
The most used and popular are:
- Silver compresses;
- Wrapping;
- Silver Bridge;
- Overlaying aluminum circles. This method is good when you need to apply sheets to the spine area.
The sheets on the body will not stick on their own. They should be secured correctly. Fabric cuts can be used for this. It should be a natural material that will not interfere with air penetration. It is enough to use a small layer of fixative - the main thing is that the foil holds.
To secure a large cut, you can use bandages or apply a permanent application of foil material. A method is considered effective when fabric cuts are alternated with 3-6 strips of thin aluminum sheet. A thick prepared cut is applied to the affected area for only 10–30 minutes, after which you can rinse the body with warm water and wipe it off.
Some cases require extending the therapeutic session to 2 hours.
How foil works
Aluminum sheets are most often used for procedures (they are more often found at home), but sheets with gold or bronze plating can also be useful. Pieces of foil are applied with the shiny side to the sore spots, using the most appropriate method. Read about the methods below.
The healing properties of the shiny material are due to its effect on the human energy field. It has long been proven that if a person is sick, often nervous and in a state of stress, the energy field begins to collapse, until it completely disappears. Foil reflects this energy, it is able to preserve it and even enhance it several times. The shiny surface directs biocurrents back to where they came from. This way we can normalize their pulsation in our body. Also, compresses and bridges made of foil enhance positive energy, which undoubtedly has a flattering effect on the condition of our body.
Experts advise using foil in combination with traditional treatment methods. It is used in courses and at a time. It has a huge advantage: it can relieve pain almost immediately, so it is simply necessary for treating joints.
Features of the wrap
Joint diseases can be treated not only with silver bridges, when there is a gap between the aluminum strips. Wraps are also often used, especially for large affected areas. This method can only be used for an hour, no more. You cannot wear foil on your body for several days, since it does not allow air to pass through due to the lack of gaps.
Apply the sheet to a large area only once every three days. Repeat the course 7 times.
Treatment of the knee joint
It is possible to extend the period of application of the sheet only when treating knee joints. In this case, you can use foil for 10 hours. To avoid feeling the material, you can apply it overnight and wait 1–2 weeks between sessions. The method is not used more often.
Gout
It can also be used for gout. You need to apply the sheet for 40 minutes, repeat the procedure after 1–2 hours, in total, conduct at least 10–14 sessions to alleviate your condition.
In the absence of contraindications, some patients use the “blanket” method, when the patient is completely covered with foil, placed in bed, and something warm is placed on top of him. This could be a blanket or heating pads.
The technique can be used when pain sensations are concentrated in different parts of the body. But the method is not recommended for varicose veins, hypertension or problems with the heart and blood vessels.
What diseases does foil treat?
In medical practice, foil is used to get rid of problems with the musculoskeletal system, in case of dysfunction of the movement organs:
- arthrosis;
- arthritis;
- gout;
- heel spur;
- radiculitis;
- sprains, injuries, dislocations.
The treatment method is well suited for combating such internal pathologies as:
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- disorders in the urinary system and dysfunction of the genital organs.
Foil is distinguished by its restorative effect on affected tissue. Metal helps relieve pain, stops inflammatory processes, and destroys salt deposits. In view of all this, the product is also actively used in cosmetology to create a rejuvenation effect: with its help, small wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin becomes elastic, and its tone is evened out.
After applying foil to problem areas, colloidal scars and scars remaining on the body in the area of surgical operations disappear.
Representatives of alternative medicine actively use the method in their work.
Contraindications
It is not recommended to start treatment without consulting a doctor! This can cause exacerbation, including other diseases. The aluminum foil method is not suitable for people with:
- Varicose veins;
- Diseases of blood vessels, heart;
- During pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- Dermatological problems;
- Allergic reactions;
- Hypertension.
Many patients underestimate the capabilities of foil, and therefore often allow themselves to use the described techniques. This is an unscientific approach that can cause complications and worsening of the condition.
The use of foil does not eliminate the need to use medications and hardware methods. To avoid becoming a victim of self-medication, you should consult a doctor. He will order an examination and also make a number of recommendations. You should discuss the possibility of using foil to treat joints with your doctor.
Mechanism of treatment with aluminum foil
The mechanism of getting rid of illness using aluminum foil is based on the healing effect that metal plates can produce on a sick body. Aluminum sheets have an impact on pathological processes:
- physical effect: restore damaged cells and tissues, neutralize dangerous acids, promote the formation of salts at the point of contact with aluminum;
- physiological effect: reflect biological impulses received from diseased areas of the legs in the opposite direction, stimulate the appearance of normal pulsation in them, stabilize internal connections, serve for the speedy healing of wounds and cuts.
