How to use coarse salt hot compress

1. Choose the right coarse salt

Use 3 to 5 kilograms of large-grain coarse salt (not the fine salt for cooking), preferably blue salt (sea salt), but rock salt or lake salt can also be used.

2. Heat the salt

Heat the loose salt in a pan and put it into a large cloth bag. This bag is more than 30 cm wide from left to right and more than 20 cm wide from top to bottom. It is made of coarse cotton cloth (do not use chemical fiber fabrics). Three sides are sewn shut, and one side is unsewn to make it easier to hold salt. The unsewn side is left a little longer so that it can be folded back to prevent the salt from leaking out. The salt is very hot when it is just out of the pot. You can put a towel under the bag and remove it when it is not too hot. The bag should be covered with something to prevent the heat from dissipating too quickly.

3. Place the salt bag flat on your lower abdomen

Apply the mask for half an hour to an hour each time. Do this at least once a day for a few months. If you can fry another bag of salt and place it on the sacrum (below the waist), the effect will be better.

Precautions for hot compress with coarse salt

1. The salt for salt compress should be coarse salt instead of ordinary table salt. Generally, coarse salt refers to salt formed by natural crystals such as large-grain sea salt and pond salt. The large-grain salt used for pickled vegetables in supermarkets is sufficient.

2. Pay attention to the temperature when applying hot compress. Overheating will burn the skin. Wrap it with several layers of towels if necessary.

3. Do not drink cold water or use cold water to wash your hands and hands for half an hour after applying hot salt to avoid opening the pores and getting infected by cold.

4. After hot compress, you should drink more water to help excrete toxins from the body. In addition, the hot compress salt can be reused and can be discarded when the particles become finer. However, the efficacy of the Chinese medicine will weaken due to repeated use, so the Chinese medicine needs to be replaced frequently.
