What are the effects and functions of crushed cactus?

In our lives today, cacti are often used as potted plants. In fact, cacti can not only be used for viewing, but also have certain medicinal effects. In addition, the cactus has a very strong survival ability. Even in a very dry desert, it can survive for a very long time. So after crushing the cactus, whether it is taken orally or applied externally, what are the effects and functions?

1. Acute mastitis

For acute mastitis, which is common among women after childbirth, you can crush the cactus, mix it with a certain amount of high-concentration alcohol, and apply it to the breasts to relieve pain and discomfort. Do this twice a day, each time for 30 minutes.

2. Mumps

We often call mumps "mumps", which is generally common in teenagers and children. Crush the cactus and mix it with a certain amount of salt. In some areas, it is also popular to mix it with some duck egg white. Make it into a paste and fix it on the mumps with gauze.

Changing it once a day will achieve better results, and the symptoms will generally be relieved after 2-3 days.

3. Shingles

Shingles, also known as "snake around the waist", is a very painful viral skin infection. Applying crushed cactus externally can also play a certain role in this disease. Scrape off the thorns of the cactus, crush pearl powder, glutinous rice flour and cactus together and apply it externally to treat shingles.

4. Frostbite

If you accidentally get frostbite in winter, you can also seek help from cactus. Crush the cactus and apply it externally to treat frostbite.

5. Insect bites

In summer, we are often bitten by mosquitoes and the skin itches unbearably. At this time, apply cactus to the affected area and you will find that the red and swollen small bags will disappear immediately and the swelling will subside quickly, especially for children. Parents are very taboo about the side effects of some topical drugs. You can use this method, which is natural and effective!

6. Burns and scalds

Cactus is cool and bitter in nature, and is an excellent medicine for reducing swelling and relieving pain. When the skin is accidentally burned, you can use cactus for external application to relieve the burning sensation.
