Forgotten recipe for "iodine massage"
It will help to normalize the functioning of the thyroid gland, i.e. it is suitable both in excess and in the absence of a hormone. In addition, it is absolutely harmless.
the selection of an individual dose of iodine. Before going to sleep, apply 3 strips of iodine on the right forearm. Smears must be done on the outside. One strip should be pale: you need to hold the skin with cotton wool soaked in iodine, easily, once. The second strip should be thicker, of medium intensity. The third is even thicker. In the morning, look, what strips have disappeared without a trace, i.e. what dose of iodine the skin absorbed completely.
There are four options.
1. On the skin there is no trace of all three strips - it means that you have iodine deficiency in the body, and you should conduct a course with a dense color of iodine.
2. The trace is left from the thickest strip - it means your color is of medium density( the one that was completely digested by the body during the night).
3. Only the paleest strip disappears - this is your healing color.
4. You can see all three strips - it means iodine in the body is enough, but the thyroid gland is weakened( it uses iodine poorly).In this case, the " iodine massage " uses the most pale color.
After selecting the intensity of the iodine spot coloration, it is necessary to determine its size( the amount of solution of this concentration).It is also individual and based on the law of comparative anatomy. The size of the iodine spot should be equal to the size of the palm of your left hand.
Evening the first. Before going to bed, apply the same right forearm to the spot of iodine the size of your left palm( without fingers).The color should be of the intensity that you determined for yourself by the test. The evening of the second. Apply the same size and color stain to the left shin, to its outer part, approximately in the middle between the knee and the foot. The evening is the third. Do the same spot on the outer part of the right shin. People with bad blood vessels, weakened by the heart from this stain, may lose an iodine trace by morning.
Evening the fourth. Spot iodine on the outer part of the left forearm. This dose is shock. Here, iodine absorbs faster, since the stain is located close to the heart. After this basic feeding of the thyroid gland with iodine, we start to retreat slowly, gradually, so as not to bring down the work of the gland from a given rhythm. The evening is the fifth. We make the same spot on the left shin, i.e., somewhat further from the heart. The evening of the sixth. Finally, apply a spot of iodine before bedtime to the most remote place from the heart - the outer part of the right shin.
