Since ancient times, folk healers have used natural preparations based on natural ingredients, one of which is badger fat, to combat cardiovascular diseases, various pathologies of the skin and respiratory system. Badger fat has a particularly high benefit for the body in case of pneumonia, which is manifested by an increase in temperature, the appearance of a cough with sputum discharge, rapid fatigue of the body and weakness throughout the body, as well as shortness of breath. This pathology is a rather serious disease, often leading to death. Therefore, its treatment is carried out immediately and only under the guidance of a doctor. In the materials of the presented review, we will consider in detail all the healing properties of badger lard, methods of its use, and recipes for preparing healing mixtures. We will also look at the basics of treating pneumonia with badger fat.
Composition and beneficial properties of badger fat
Badger fat has a wide range of healing properties and a unique composition. Judging by the reviews of many patients who prefer traditional medicine, it has not only a therapeutic, but also a powerful preventive effect, preventing the development of a huge number of serious diseases. For the purpose of prevention, badger lard should be taken at least twice a year, for a course duration of at least 2 weeks.
The badger fat component is an oily mass of white or light cream color with a specific unpleasant aroma. When the air temperature drops, the fat thickens, so it is recommended to store it in the refrigerator, and when moved to a warmer place, it immediately begins to melt.
Badger lard has a rather rare set of healing components included in its composition, among which are:
- Vitamin complex of groups A, B, PP and E, which provide an increase in the human body’s immune defense system, give an additional boost of energy, help restore the functionality of the optic nerves and improve the quality of vision, and also strengthen all skeletal systems in the body.
- Trace elements and mineral components ensure the normalization of metabolic processes and increase the body's resistance to the pathological effects of pathogenic microorganisms.
- Polyunsaturated linoleic and linolenic acids, which ensure the normalization of metabolic processes at the carbohydrate level, restoration of the optimal concentration of sugar in the blood and reduction of inflammatory processes.
- The presence of fatty acids in the form of Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 prevents the appearance of cancer, helps the body eliminate bad cholesterol, accelerates the regeneration of damaged tissue and cellular structures, and also has an antioxidant effect.
Important: for effective treatment of pneumonia, this lard should be taken as an additional therapy to the general principles of the traditional fight against this pathology with the help of medications. Lard has the necessary warming effect, helps relieve inflammation, and eliminates an unbearable and debilitating cough.
Research centers have found that badger fat can be used by patients as an effective food supplement during the therapeutic treatment of pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, bronchopneumonia and other pathologies of the respiratory system, but not as a primary medicine. Therefore, it is prescribed as a supplement to the main treatment in order to speed up metabolic processes, restore immunity, enrich the patient’s body with vitamins and beneficial microelements and improve the absorption of medications.
Causes of the disease
Before you begin to cure inflammation of the respiratory system, you should not forget how serious the disease is, which affects the alveoli and lung tissue.
It is very important to detect the disease at the development stage, because the disease can lead to serious consequences, including the death of the patient. Pneumonia is especially dangerous for children. Due to a weak immune system, the disease progresses rapidly. Most often the disease is bacterial in nature. The main pathogens include:
- Pneumococcus;
- streptococcus;
- staphylococcus;
- Haemophilus influenzae.
A risk factor is the reduced protective function of the human body, which protects the body from the penetration of viruses and bacteria.
Risk factors.
- Reduced immunity.
- Cancerous formations in the lungs, chest.
- Diseases of the nervous system.
- Diabetes.
- Chronic illnesses.
It should not be forgotten that even a cold can sharply reduce immunity and lead to the development of an inflammatory process in the respiratory system.
Rules for using the drug
It is recommended to treat pneumonia with badger fat for both adults and children.
Lard can be taken in two ways to treat pneumonia:
- internally;
- externally.
For therapy, you can use not only badger fat purchased at the pharmacy in a bottle or in the form of capsules, but also a natural product prepared at home. To do this, you should purchase raw lard from this animal from a professional hunter and melt it at home in a water bath, after cutting it into small pieces. This will result in a more concentrated product than a pharmaceutical drug.
How does badger fat treat pneumonia?
The use of healing lard for progressive pneumonia is necessary for the physical lubrication of the inflamed surfaces of the respiratory system; it is also used in its pure form and with additional components.
But the use of badger fat also has a powerful antibacterial effect, so the effectiveness of its use will be no worse than taking antibiotic medications.
When ingested, fat begins to act as a natural stimulator of immune activation, has a detrimental effect on pathogenic microflora, nourishes the entire body with nutrients, vitamins and microelements and accelerates the healing process.
Scheme for internal use of badger fat
For internal use, it is recommended to use this substance in its pure form with natural cold remedies in the form of raspberry jam, bee honey, decoction of St. John's wort or rose hips. These natural ingredients will enhance each other's healing effects. They should be taken in the ratio of three parts of lard, take one part of the additional anti-cold component, mixing them until a homogeneous consistency is obtained.
It is recommended that adults take the resulting mixture one tablespoon three times a day, half an hour before meals. A child under 12 years of age can take the same mixture, one teaspoon at a time, washed down with warm milk. Instead of such a mixture, children can be given a pharmaceutical preparation based on badger fat in capsules.
External use
For external use of the healing potion, it should be used as a means for applying warm compresses or rubbing, but after the symptoms of fever have been relieved. The use of this remedy during the convalescent stage will help eliminate stagnant fluid in the lung cavity and bronchi.
To make a warming compress, apply a thick layer to your back, chest and feet, wrap the treated areas of the body in cellophane oilcloth, and wrap yourself in a warm blanket. This procedure can be repeated up to two times a day.
You can enhance the therapeutic effect of medicinal fat and cure pneumonia faster if you properly mix it with a small amount of juniper, eucalyptus or cedar oil. This will contribute not only to the provision of a warming effect, but also bactericidal and antispasmodic effects.
Small children are not always able to make such compresses, so you can simply rub their legs, back and chest with lard at night and cover them well with a blanket. This will not only help create a warming effect, but will also improve blood circulation processes, increase the child’s immunity, and also minimize the risks of exacerbation of pathology.
Pneumonia: features of the disease
The cause of pneumonia is the infection entering the lungs and its development in the tissues.
The disease is caused by various pathogens - fungal microorganisms, viruses or bacteria. The following factors increase the risk of pneumonia:
- acute respiratory viral infections, influenza;
- malignant tumors in the lungs;
- excessive alcohol consumption;
- chronic lung diseases;
- immunodeficiency;
- insulin dependence;
- artificial ventilation;
- elderly and children;
- general anesthesia.
For treatment of pathology to be effective, it is necessary to conduct a thorough diagnostic examination. It will help identify the type of infection and prescribe adequate therapy. The use of folk remedies is possible only in combination with taking medications that are aimed at destroying the pathogen.
Contraindications for use and side effects
Despite the wide range of healing properties of badger fat, like other healing substances, it also has a number of contraindications:
- individual intolerance;
- disruption of the functionality of the parenchymal gland in the form of developing pancreatitis or the appearance of stones;
- allergic reactions;
- children under 6 years old;
- pregnant and lactating women.
And also during therapeutic treatment with a fatty substance, it is necessary to pay attention to the general condition of the body and all possible reactions. This component, if the prescribed dosage is exceeded, can cause side effects such as:
- skin rashes;
- discharge of vomit;
- frequent feeling of nausea.
If such symptoms appear, you should stop taking the natural component and consult a doctor who can help you choose another remedy to speed up the healing process.
Symptoms of pneumonia
Pneumonia can be acute. In the absence of adequate treatment, it goes into remission with periodic relapses. The acute form of the disease has obvious manifestations:
- strong increase in temperature;
- painful cough;
- pain in the chest;
- confusion - this symptom becomes a consequence of brain hypoxia;
- increased sweating;
- the appearance of shortness of breath.
In chronic pneumonia there is no fever. Body temperature is 37 degrees. This type of pneumonia is accompanied by pain and shortness of breath. In more rare cases, coughing attacks occur.
Both stages of pathology require therapy, since inflammation affects the human condition. Impaired lung function leads to a lack of oxygen. Carbon dioxide accumulates in them. This provokes the occurrence of hypoxia and acidosis.
Folk recipes for badger fat remedies for pneumonia
Next, we will look at the most popular medicinal mixtures using fat.
Recipe No. 1
To prepare the healing mixture, you should prepare the following ingredients:
- badger fat – 100 grams;
