Alcoholic Kalanchoe juice for a runny nose

Beneficial features

Botanists include about two hundred different plants united by this species as Kalanchoe.
In Russia, two grow on the windowsill and feel great - Kalanchoe Degremona and pinnate Kalanchoe. Therefore, when talking about the juice of this plant, we will mean both of these varieties of evergreen plants with succulent and fleshy leaves. Moreover, the differences between them are only external, and even then insignificant. Their basic properties are the same. Kalanchoe juice has an antimicrobial effect, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effect. It relieves swelling. When instilled into the nose it behaves as a local irritant.

You can see the recipe for using Kalanchoe for children with a runny nose in the following video.

The plant has regenerating, disinfectant and anti-inflammatory properties. It has found wide application in ENT practice and dentistry. You can use the juice not only for a runny nose, but also for other diseases of the nasopharynx: tonsillitis, sinusitis, inflammation of the adenoids.

What medicinal properties of Kalanchoe help children with a runny nose? The herbal product has an anti-edematous effect, cleanses mucous membranes and improves nasal breathing. All this is facilitated by the unique composition of the juice:

flavonoids – activate metabolic processes at the tissue and cellular level;
tannins – exhibit bactericidal, anti-inflammatory and disinfectant activity, sanitize the nasal cavity and prevent nosebleeds;
enzymes - participate in tissue metabolism, speed up the rate of breakdown of substances;
organic acids – the product is enriched with acetic, oxalic, malic acids. They have an anti-inflammatory effect, normalize local blood circulation, and increase local immunity.

The plant is rich in polysaccharides and mineral compounds. The composition also contains locally irritating components and natural immune activators.

The high content of microelements and vitamins in the juice helps to increase barrier functions and reduces the likelihood of cold complications.

The herbal medicine is actively used against runny nose in children and for other reasons. This is a safe and effective product that removes mucus, cleanses the nasal passages, and prevents the development of bacterial rhinitis. When exposed to receptors, sneezing begins, as a result of which the secretion is expelled more actively and nasal congestion disappears.

The healing properties make Kalanchoe indispensable for a runny nose. Its juice irritates the nasal mucosa, causing severe sneezing. The result of such natural cleaning is the normalization of breathing.

The spectrum of beneficial effects is provided by the substances contained in the plant:

tannins;
antioxidants;
organic acids;
flavonoids;
ascorbic acid, as well as vitamins P and K;
polysaccharides;
macro- and microelements.

They are found not only in the foliage, the stem of Kalanchoe is also suitable for therapeutic procedures. Most of the healing properties are concentrated at the base of the plant. Therefore, to prepare the drops, it is better to remove the lower fleshy leaves.

Therapeutic benefits of Kalanchoe:

Fresh juice accelerates the regeneration of damaged tissues. They are used to treat wounds, abrasions and scars. Rubbing the skin with it gives good results for varicose veins.
The enzymes included in the plant normalize metabolism and activate redox processes.
The vitamin C and flavonoids contained in Kalanchoe extract help strengthen the immune system.
Tannins resist microbes and provide a hemostatic effect.
Organic acids have a choleretic and bactericidal effect, so for certain diseases, taking the juice orally is indicated.

The extract from the plant is a popular cosmetic product. It has a positive effect on the condition of the skin, hair and nails. Along with anti-aging procedures, it is used to remove papillomas and warts.

Kalanchoe juice for a runny nose as an effective remedy

Kalanchoe for a runny nose is one of the most gentle remedies; it can be used by children and pregnant women (although these groups of patients should take certain precautions). Before collecting medicinal greens, the flower cannot be watered for about 1 week (plus during this time it can be placed in the cold).

Only shoots older than three years have a sufficient concentration of useful substances. The use of young greens is useless for treating a runny nose. In order for the preparation to produce the maximum amount of juice, it must be kept for a week in the cold and dark.

Ready-made medicine based on Kalanchoe is sold in pharmacies, but home remedies give more stable results. The “room healer” is used to make nasal drops, decoctions, inhalation solutions, tinctures and ointments.

Drops for adults

To treat rhinitis of any etiology, use mono-drops based on herbal concentrate or mix it with other medicinal components. The most successful is considered to be a combination of Kalanchoe with aloe juice, onions, lemon balm or St. John's wort.

Kalanchoe juice diluted with water is given to children for runny noses. For adult patients, it is better to use a concentrated extract. Otherwise, the composition will not be able to cause the desired sneezing.

The greens collected from the plant are pureed with a blender or put through a garlic press. The resulting slurry is passed through a gauze filter and used for its intended purpose. There is no need to prepare drops in reserve; they quickly lose their healing properties. Instillation is carried out 3-4 times a day, 1-2 drops in each nasal passage.

The second way to use Kalanchoe to treat a runny nose is to prepare a decoction from a home remedy. It will not be able to penetrate the mucous membrane of an adult patient, but it is 100% suitable for children’s epithelium. The home remedy is popularly called “sneezer”. Pediatricians recommend using it as an auxiliary therapy in addition to the main course for children under 3 years of age.

Alcohol tincture

Although pure Kalanchoe juice for a runny nose is an effective medicine, it is inconvenient to do a new squeeze every time. The addition of alcohol helps to significantly extend the shelf life of the product. In this form it can be stored for up to 1 year (in the dark and cool).

Method of preparation: chop the Kalanchoe greens and leave for 3 days. Strain the resulting mass and squeeze out the juice. Mix the finished extract with 2 tbsp. spoons of alcohol base.

Due to the alcohol content, the infusion can only be instilled in adult patients. The medicine is stored on the top shelf of the refrigerator, and taken out a couple of hours before use so that the liquid warms up to room temperature.

For the progressive treatment of runny nose in children, Kalanchoe juice is added to the nebulizer. The plant component is diluted in saline solution, mineral water “Essentuki” No. 12 or 14, Borjomi (it is better to take the drink in glass) or saline solution. The optimal amount of juice for one procedure is 15 drops, which, together with the main salt filling, are filled into the device and begin to breathe into the mask.

For a severe runny nose, Kalanchoe juice can be put into a regular thermal inhaler. But there is one nuance in use. The temperature of the liquid poured into the device should be about 50 degrees.

Solutions for inhalation with Kalanchoe are not intended for storage. Before each procedure, you will have to make a new medicine.

You can treat Kalanchoe runny nose with an effective herbal ointment. It is used to prevent illness during the flu and cold season.

For the ointment you will need:

Kalanchoe juice – 2 tbsp. spoons;
propolis – 2 grams;
vegetable oil – 100 ml;
liquid honey – 100 grams;
mumiyo – 2 tablets, crushed into powder.

Cooking technology:

Melt the propolis for a couple, add the plant juice to it and immediately remove from the heat.
Separately combine oil, mumiyo and honey.
Mix both masses until smooth and transfer to a glass jar.

The ointment can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 months. It is applied to cotton swabs and the nasal passages are treated with the product.

Kalanchoe juice for a runny nose is one of the oldest and most widespread traditional medicines.

Not taking a cold or rhinitis seriously or inflammation of the nasal mucosa can provoke sinusitis, sinusitis or problems with the bronchi, so you should not let this process take its course.

Some ornamental house plants have healing properties, for example, cyclamen is used to treat sinusitis, aloe recipes for the common cold are widely used for children and adults, and treatment of Kalanchoe is often more effective than many medications.

To relieve congestion, you can use the technique of acupressure; massage is especially effective if carried out using “Asterisk” ointment.

The genus Kalanchoe includes about 200 species. All these medicinal herbs are distinguished by fleshy, juicy stems and leaves. The most commonly used plant in folk medicine is Kalanchoe pinnate.

The main medicinal value of Kalanchoe stems from the high concentration of alkaloids, steroids, lipids and other phytochemicals present in the plant extracts.
This plant helps relieve muscle pain. You just need to heat the sheet and apply it to the area where the pain is felt and it will miraculously disappear. If you are suffering from foot pain, you can add a few Kalanchoe leaves to hot water and soak your feet in it. Kalanchoe is also used to make tea to relieve cough. This plant is even used to treat kidney stones.
Despite the fact that not all medical experts recognize the effectiveness of Kalanchoe, some medical journals provide data from successful clinical trials. Thus, the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology published the results of a study in which preparations with Kalanchoe extract quickly healed the wounds of living rats.
Kalanchoe juice has served and continues to serve for the treatment of a number of ailments, from mild to severe (as a wound healing agent, for colds and runny nose, for skin problems, for wiping cracked nipples, etc.). It can be drunk and used as an external remedy.

In addition, Kalanchoe juice has virtually no contraindications.

Kalanchoe juice for a runny nose can be purchased ready-made or you can make it yourself. In pharmacology, Kalanchoe juice is available in 10 ml ampoules or 100 ml bottles, and is also included in some drops for rhinitis.

It is worth noting

Preparing the drug at home is quite simple. To do this, use juicy fresh leaves or the green part of the stem of a three-year-old or older plant. If desired, you can also use young shoots, but they have less healing effect.

There are several recipes on how to independently obtain Kalanchoe juice for further use against a runny nose:

The simplest one: using a fork or spoon, mash the washed leaf in a porcelain or ceramic bowl, collect the extracted juice with a pipette and use it as nasal drops. If the leaf is very fleshy, you can simply squeeze it out with your hand or fingers. This juice has the highest concentration and can be used only once and cannot be stored.
For long-term use: thoroughly rinse the freshly harvested green mass of the plant in running water, pat dry with a paper towel, place in a dark, cool place (temperature 5-10°C, refrigerator is suitable), where the leaf must be kept for about 7 days. After this period, the Kalanchoe must be crushed to a homogeneous liquid mass using a knife, fork, garlic press, meat grinder, mortar, squeeze through several layers of clean gauze and let the juice settle. After green sediment has accumulated at the bottom, pour the upper transparent part into a glass or ceramic container, the juice is ready.
The juice squeezed from crushed leaves can stand for two days at a temperature of 10.4 °C. Filtered and sterilized juice can be stored for many years at 10°C.

It is important to know

Before using Kalanchoe juice for a runny nose, it must be warmed to room temperature: kept outside the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, heated in a water bath.

Instructions for using Kalanchoe juice for a runny nose vary depending on age.

For an adult, the following remedies will be effective:

Wiping the inside of the nasal cavity with a cotton swab with freshly squeezed Kalanchoe juice.
Drip solution of pure juice: 2-5 drops into each nasal sinus 4 times a day. It should be borne in mind that people prone to nosebleeds may experience discomfort when using Kalanchoe juice for a runny nose. The latter causes severe sneezing and copious mucus production, and this can lead to easy bleeding in patients with weak blood vessels and sensitive nasal mucosa. In such a case, you should stop treatment, and it is better to immediately use a less strong solution.
For example, mix juice, water and Kalanchoe leaves in a 1:1 ratio. Drop this solution into the nasal passages three times a day, 3 drops.
Mix aloe and Kalanchoe juice in equal parts, mix gently and drop 2-5 drops into the nose at least 2 times a day.
Add Kalanchoe juice to the juice obtained from the onion (proportion - 1:2). Drip no more than 2 drops into each nostril three times a day.

To treat a runny nose at home in children, Kalanchoe use the following methods:

Treat not with juice, but with a decoction of the leaves of the plant. The rule is this: the younger the child, the lower the concentration of Kalanchoe. The decoction cleanses the nose of mucus well, while affecting the nasal mucosa more gently than juice. It is used as drops three times a day. To prepare a decoction, pour a few leaves of the plant into 0.5 liters of cold water, bring to a boil, and leave for at least an hour.
If you make a mixture of Kalanchoe and aloe or onion juices for children, you should reduce the concentration of active substances, for which the mixture is diluted with clean water at least twice.
Moisten cotton swabs with Kalanchoe juice and place them in the nostrils for 1-2 minutes.
Children over two years old can treat a runny nose with pure Kalanchoe juice, but no more than 2 drops should be added. If the child is not yet two years old, before instilling nasal drops from Kalanchoe juice, dilute them with warm boiled water. The younger the patient, the lower the concentration of the solution.
To prevent a runny nose or cold in a child, it is advisable to wipe the nostrils with a cotton swab, previously soaked in fresh plant juice, up to four times a day. If the child is under 1.5 years old, use an aqueous solution. In the same way, you can use diluted juice or decoction of Kalanchoe for a runny nose in infants.

Traditional medicine recipes with Kalanchoe

In order for the juice of the fleshy leaves to show all its beneficial properties, you need to know exactly how to use the home plant. There are several most popular recipes for preparing medicinal products.

Kalanchoe juice

Most often, juice is used to treat diseases at home - pure or diluted with water or milk. In order to use a healing remedy, you do not need to wait, as is the case with decoctions or infusions.

Preparing the juice is very simple - just take the required amount of fresh leaves of the plant and carefully squeeze the juice out of them. When used externally, the resulting product is used to make compresses and lotions for diseased areas.

For example, juice compresses are used to treat:

skin fungus - gauze is dipped in juice, and then applied to a problem area on the skin and secured with a bandage or plaster, changing the lotion three times a day;
ulcers and inflamed wounds - a gauze bandage soaked in the juice of the plant is fixed on the diseased area and changed once a day; Kalanchoe will also help with burns.

Kalanchoe can also be used internally - but for this it must be diluted.

To treat stomach ulcers or cystitis, dilute 1 teaspoon of fresh juice in a glass of drinking water and drink three times a day shortly before meals.
For a runny nose, the squeeze is diluted with milk in a ratio of 1:3, and then a couple of drops are instilled into each nostril three times a day.
Also, for otitis media and colds, you can drip Kalanchoe into your ears - after diluting it with water.

Important! In all recipes for internal use, instead of milk, you can use ordinary boiled water. But you cannot use undiluted juice internally - this will cause harm, since the product will burn the mucous membranes.

Infusion of Kalanchoe

For external and internal use, not only fresh juice is used, but also a decoction of the leaves of a houseplant. It is not difficult to make - you need to pick and chop a sufficient number of fresh leaves, and then fill them with clean water. There should be 5 times more water. Then the mixture is steamed for 20 minutes, and then cooled and used for medicinal purposes.

Kalanchoe helps against warts; the infusion can be used to wipe irritated areas of the skin for any dermatological diseases.
Kalanchoe helps well with purulent wounds, as it disinfects the wound surface and promotes speedy healing.
The product works well for varicose veins, and can also be used to wipe inflamed wounds and healing burns.
The infusion is especially useful for rinsing the mouth and throat for sore throat and periodontal disease - fresh juice is not used for these purposes, as it can leave burns.
An infusion of a houseplant will be beneficial when used internally for gastritis with low acidity or colitis. The product should be drunk twice a day, shortly before meals, a few sips. The total course of treatment is a month, after which you need to take a break.

Not only fresh leaves of a houseplant are suitable for preparing an infusion. Instead, you can buy dry extract at the pharmacy - it has the same beneficial properties.

Kalanchoe tincture with vodka

The alcoholic tincture on the leaves of the plant brings great benefits to the body. It is prepared like this: finely chopped leaves are tightly packed into a small glass jar and regular vodka is poured on top. The jar is tightly closed and put in a dark place for a week.

Kalanchoe tincture for joints will be of great benefit - if pain occurs, it is recommended to rub the affected areas with this remedy using gentle massage movements. It is best to perform rubbing at night, so that immediately after the procedure you can cover yourself with a warm blanket and give your joints complete rest.
A tincture of Kalanchoe juice will be beneficial for colds - you can rub the vodka-based product on your chest and throat to properly warm the deep layers of the skin. The remedy is also taken orally - twice a day until the symptoms disappear. However, the liquid should not be consumed in its pure form - 1 teaspoon should be diluted in a glass of drinking water and only then drunk in small sips.

How to prepare raw materials for treatment

If you have this unpretentious plant growing on your windowsill at home, there will be no problems with the raw materials for preparing the drug. Choose the juiciest leaf, cut it, squeeze it through cheesecloth. Dilute the juice with water (one to three) and drop it into each nasal passage. Some folk recipes recommend keeping the cut leaf in the refrigerator for several hours before squeezing.

If you don’t have Kalanchoe at home, you can buy a ready-made preparation at the pharmacy that contains such juice.

Also, avoid homeopathic medicines that claim to contain this plant. There it, like all other components, is contained in such negligibly small microdoses that such treatment will definitely not be of any use.

An adult plant has healing properties, but the juice obtained from old leaves may be too concentrated and aggressive for a child. Plants up to 3 years old are usually used. During this time, Kalanchoe manages to accumulate useful substances with high bioavailability.

Cut off the lower leaves, which, if dirty, are washed or wiped with a dry cloth. Like aloe, the plant is kept in a cool, dark place for up to a week. If time is pressing, then the leaves are sent to the side compartment of the refrigerator for 2-5 days.

The prepared stems and leaves are crushed, squeezed out and the resulting juice is left to settle until a sediment appears. Afterwards the raw material is filtered again. The juice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. It makes no sense to stockpile medicine for future use. It is better to extract the juice directly from the leaf. The child does not need much of the drug - one Kalanchoe leaf is enough for 3-day treatment. Next, the juice is diluted with water and used as needed.

Making your own juice

To make juice at home, you need to have Kalanchoe leaves. The method of preparing the drug is as follows:

Cut off the leaves and keep in a cool place for a week (temperature should be 5–10 degrees).
Grind until smooth.
Place the resulting pulp on cheesecloth and squeeze out the juice.
Leave the liquid for two days.

The juice should be stored in a cool place - at a temperature of 5-10 degrees.

You can prepare a juice-based tincture:

Place 500 grams of crushed leaves in a vessel and fill with vodka or 70% alcohol.
Close the container tightly and place in a cool, dark place for a week.
The mixture should be shaken periodically.
After a week, the composition should be filtered, poured into a clean container and stored and used for its intended purpose.

The mixture must be used strictly according to the recipe - there is no need to experiment with the body, because in most cases it ends very badly.

Kalanchoe juice for a runny nose as an effective remedy

While the procedure for using Kalanchoe for a runny nose is standard for the average adult patient, such treatment may be contraindicated for children and pregnant women. Even if the doctor has approved the use of herbal medicine, you need to know the specifics of its use.

For a child

During the onset of a cold, Kalanchoe for runny nose and congestion in children is allowed to be used only after 3 days. Mucus that accumulates in the nose prevents germs from penetrating deeper into the maxillary sinuses, bronchi or lungs. Kalanchoe helps with runny nose of viral or bacterial etiology, as well as with adenoids. It is impossible to cure allergic rhinitis or mechanical pathologies (polyps, injuries) with it.

If the temperature rises to at least 37 degrees, treatment with a “home healer” is contraindicated. The appearance of a rash or redness near the nose is another reason to stop using the plant.

During pregnancy

Kalanchoe for a runny nose will help a pregnant woman only if nasal congestion is caused by a cold. If the cause of the symptom is hormonal changes, the plant is powerless.

A runny nose during pregnancy must be treated very carefully. During this period, the woman’s mucous membrane is very sensitive to any aggressive influence. Therefore, concentrated juice can injure her. It is better for expectant mothers to instill the extract diluted with water (proportions 1:1).

In addition, it is better not to abuse the internal use of the decoction. It provokes an increase in blood pressure, which results in a number of problems for the expectant mother.

In the later stages of pregnancy, it is better to avoid Kalanchoe, especially for those women who have been diagnosed with abnormal fetal position. Severe sneezing in such a situation provokes intense contraction of the lower abdominal muscles, which is fraught with spasmodic pain.

Quite a common picture: just yesterday your baby was running on the grass, playing football with friends, and this morning he is snotting in three streams and sneezing endlessly. Therefore, the best remedy for a runny nose for children is to prevent it. First of all, check if the baby arrived with wet (frozen) feet. If you see that the child’s body is clearly overcooled, put him in a hot bath, or dip his feet in hot water with mustard powder, and before going to bed, give him warm milk with honey or soda to drink, then in the morning the baby will wake up with a dry nose and will not have to treat a runny nose .

If such a nuisance happens, before running to the pharmacy for a cold remedy for children, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to wait another day. The fact is that rhinitis in a child can appear both in the event of the onset of ARVI, and from exposure to allergens on the mucous membrane.

Snotty childhood

If a child’s runny nose is caused by ARVI, do not rush to buy nasal drops; modern medicine (in particular Western medicine) does not advise using vasoconstrictor drugs unless necessary. A supporter of this opinion in domestic medicine is Dr. Komarovsky. Komarovsky advises using drops and treating a runny nose in a child only in such cases if:

the child has otitis media;
no nasal breathing;
difficulty breathing through the nose in combination with high fever;
It is difficult for the baby to breathe through the mouth, but nasal breathing is also partially difficult.

These are those cases when the use of a vasoconstrictor for a runny nose is simply necessary; in other cases, Komarovsky suggests treating a child’s runny nose solely by humidifying the air and constantly drinking. For a mother’s heart, this is, of course, a difficult test, because we are used to fighting snot in such a way that the result is immediately visible (if the nose drips, the baby immediately breathes calmly). In such cases, it is quite possible to treat a child’s runny nose with folk remedies.

The first step is to provide moist air to prevent the mucous membrane from drying out. Let's look at the most effective methods:

Inhalations can be an excellent remedy for a runny nose for children. Brew mint, eucalyptus (make sure your baby is not allergic first), chamomile and let it brew for a while, then pour this decoction into the inhaler and let your baby breathe for 10-15 minutes. And at night it would be nice to put an aroma lamp with fir oil in the room. The main rule: inhalations for a runny nose in children are effective with even and deep breathing. If the baby refuses the inhaler, you can pour hot water into a bowl and add soda, in a playful way and together with the mother it is much easier to persuade the baby.
Often in articles about how to treat a runny nose in a child, and even for prevention during the cold season, it is recommended to use tea tree oil. This is an excellent antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent for rhinitis.
Many housewives have Kalanchoe growing on their windows, but few people know that this plant also helps children with a runny nose. Its value is that after the juice is put in the nose, children begin to sneeze heavily, which helps cleanse the sinuses; this is especially convenient when it is difficult for a child to clear his nose or he cannot blow his nose. Thus, Kalanchoe for a runny nose is not only quite effective, but also affordable, but it’s still worth testing this method on yourself first: although in rare cases, allergies and even swelling are possible.
Another plant that helps treat a runny nose in a child is the familiar aloe. Rinse two fresh leaves with boiled water (not hot), then squeeze out the juice and dilute with boiled water 1:10, you need to instill 3-4 drops during the day, but no more than 5 times a day. You can also give aloe for a runny nose to children in the form of a paste: remove the skin from the aloe leaf and mash it with honey (1:1), give one teaspoon after meals.

Folk remedies won’t quickly cure a child’s runny nose, but they will help make the baby’s breathing easier. And remember the most important thing: if you decide to treat a runny nose “according to Komarovsky,” be patient; you won’t be able to quickly cure a runny nose in a child (if you don’t scare him with drops, of course), but this is a sure way to protect the baby from swelling of the nasopharynx and other side effects of vasoconstrictor drugs.

Instructions: use for children

Kalanchoe juice should be considered as an emergency measure for a child only if his nose is not breathing at all, and there is no way to blow his nose properly. This unconventional method of treating rhinitis should be abandoned if:

If a child has an allergic runny nose. In this case, treatment of the cause is required, not elimination of the effect.
If the child has a severe form of bacterial rhinitis. In this case, the mucus will have a green or gray color. This condition requires prompt treatment with antibiotics. Delay may cause complications.
If a child has sinusitis with purulent nasal discharge.
If the child has injuries to the nasal septum or curvature resulting from previous sinusitis.

Before first use, parents should conduct a home allergy test. To do this, apply a drop of concentrated (undiluted) juice to the child’s nasolabial triangle (in the dimple above the upper lip), rub lightly and evaluate the result after an hour and a half. If redness and swelling do not appear, Kalanchoe juice can be used. If even a minor reaction occurs, it is strictly forbidden to use this remedy for this child.

You can drip Kalanchoe juice no more than 2 times a day, no more than five days. This is what traditional healers say. More skeptical specialists in the field of traditional medicine talk about the juice of this plant as a means of one-time use, for isolated cases, considering a course of treatment of Kalanchoe unjustified.

Use for diseases

Children's runny nose

If a child suddenly has a runny nose, then treatment with Kalanchoe variety Bryophyllum will help. We pick the leaves of this plant, wash them, squeeze the juice out of them, dilute the juice with boiled water 1:1. Place liquid in the child's nose and it will take 1-2 days to cure a runny nose.

However, such juice can cause an allergic reaction! Before use, have your child examined by a doctor. If your child is not prone to otitis media, feel free to put this wonderful juice in his nose.

Throat diseases

The juice is squeezed from the leaves of the plant, and up to 15 drops per day are buried in the nose. The juice enters the nasopharynx and the runny nose quickly passes, as does the inflammatory process in the throat.

Here an ointment made from Kalanchoe juice will come to the rescue. First, apply the ointment to a cloth folded in 4 layers, then apply it to the sore spot, and wrap it with a bandage on top for better fixation. Replace the bandage once a day until the boils and ulcers disappear completely.

Bedsores

From a medical point of view, bedsores are dystrophic and ulcerative-necrotic changes in the skin that are subject to constant disruption of nervous trophism and blood circulation. They can be cured with Kalanchoe juice, slowly rubbing into the area of the bedsores.

You can apply a cloth soaked in juice to the sore spots. At first, change it every day, and then once every three days. When you remove the bandage, do not immediately apply a new one, wait half an hour for the skin to air, and during this time lubricate it with Vaseline or zinc ointment.

It is recommended to eat 1 teaspoon of them every day. It will be good if you add these leaves to salads. This way you can replenish your body with all the beneficial vitamins and minerals.

Contraindications and adverse reactions

Despite its natural origin, Kalanchoe-based juice for the common cold is contraindicated in some cases. This folk remedy should not be used for:

elevated temperature;
hypotension (low blood pressure);
neoplasms and polyps;
kidney diseases;
plant allergies;
thrombosis;
liver pathologies (hepatitis, cirrhosis).

Even in the absence of obvious contraindications, if the standard dosage is not followed, the patient may experience adverse reactions. According to statistics, burns of the mucous epithelium most often occur.

Another negative consequence is an allergic reaction. More often it is limited to a rash/hives around the nose, but in rare cases it can provoke thrombosis, angioedema or anaphylactic shock. This is only possible if there is an individual intolerance to the folk medicine. Therefore, before using it for the first time, an allergy test must be performed. At the slightest negative reaction, the treated area is thoroughly washed with water. If necessary, additionally contact a therapist.
