Treatment of stretching folk remedies

The most common type of muscle, joint or tendon injury is stretching.

With this pathology, to accelerate the process of tissue repair and the functions of injured limbs, traditional treatment must be combined with folk methods.

Stretch types and symptoms ^

Stretching is damage to the tissues of the musculoskeletal system as a result of their strong tension caused by the lifting of gravity, falling, dislocation, sharp uncomfortable movement, excessive exercise when doing sports or other similar reasons.

Stretch marks are characterized by the following symptoms:

• Severe pain during movement;
• Moderate or severe edema of the injured area;
• Difficulty of movement;
• Increased sensitivity during touch;
• Appearance of redness or bruising.

Clinically, this type of damage is divided into three types - stretching of ligaments( tendons), muscles and joints. However, depending on the injured places, the ankle, foot, hamstring, back, hamstrings, neck, wrists, shoulder or forearm and other parts of the body are stretched.

The difference between stretching the muscles and stretching the ligaments is that in the first case the tissues connecting the muscles to the tendons and bone are damaged, and in the second case, the fibers connecting the bone to the bone are damaged.

Folk treatment of stretchings consists of the preparation of special ointments and compresses that can reduce pain and relieve inflammation. To this end, traditional medicine suggests the use of folk remedies for the treatment of sprains in the form of medicinal plants, such as wormwood, tansy, elecampane roots, cornflower, poplar buds, arnica, lavender and other anti-inflammatory and soothing herbs.

In addition to medicinal plants, excellent effect is provided by the treatment of stretching with home remedies such as garlic, pork fat, raw potatoes, honey, laundry soap, apple vinegar, chicken eggs, onions and salt.

Treatment at home in the first days after injury should be accompanied by cold application, complete rest and tight fixation of the sore spot. These recommendations will speed up the process of regeneration of damaged tissues.

With an easy degree of injury for the patient, home-based stretch treatment is acceptable, where medication prescribed by a doctor is successfully combined with ancient folk recipes.
