How to Take: List of Simple Recipes
Celandine is not used in its pure form - in the form of flowers.A person can develop paralysis of the nervous system due to accidental ingestion of critical levels of the main medicinal ingredient leading to an overdose.Observe the correct dosage in celandine-based tablets and ointments sold in pharmacies.If a person dispenses their own medication, trouble can arise.
Chelidonium is available in a variety of treatments:
- Rub with oil;
- Prepare dressings from oil;
- Use decoctions and juices for intake.
Treatment is carried out in the form of ointments or herbal series purchased in pharmacies: usually this is more convenient; recommendations for use are written on the back of any package.If you don't want to spend the money, you can harvest celandine yourself and prepare it with a cosmetic oil purchased at the drugstore.For example, almond oil or peach oil.
Celandine works against onychomycosis by mixing it with other products besides oil.For example, use baking soda.Fill a container with 3 liters of water and heat it to a temperature above zero.The water is still lukewarm, not hot.Dissolve a tablespoon of baking soda in water and immerse your feet in the water.You need to sit like this for 20 minutes and then apply the oil to the nails: the moisture will have a softening effect on the skin, and the beneficial substances will be better absorbed.
To remove fungus directly from the nails, it is recommended to steam the feet and then, if possible, remove the infected area and apply oil.It has a positive effect on sunken nail plates and provides them with the substances they need to recover.To forget about foot fungus, you need to perform this procedure regularly - until the pain is over.
There is no need to remove the fungus when using celandine oil, just wipe the nail surface twice a day.The legs are pre-steamed.Apply the oil to your feet for 15 minutes and then carefully wipe it off with a cotton swab.
How to make celandine decoction
To prepare collected celandine yourself, you need to put the flowers in a saucepan, add boiled and filtered water to a height of 2 cm.Then cover the pot tightly (you can even wrap it for safety), place in a dark place, and store for five days to a week.It is important to comply with the conditions for complete soundproofing.
After the designated time, filter the soup to remove the grass.According to the ratio of 1:1, add vegetable oil, preferably refined, pour it into a glass container and place it in a dark place.
Baking soda or any other friendly substance can be added to the broth.For example, mix celandine flowers with iodine or tea tree essential oil.
Compressed with dissolved celandine
If you need to affect the toes and foot surface, you can make a gauze or plastic compress: the lotion remains on the feet all day long and has a positive effect.This kind of treatment will not violate the normal rhythm of life and will not cause difficulty in walking, provided that the shoes are spacious and comfortable.Not every compress will interact with the fungus throughout the day; many nail polishes wear off within a few hours and release extracts onto the nails.
It is allowed to moisten gauze with celandine oil or a mixture with other substances:
- vinegar;
- 70% alcohol.Take 250 ml of alcohol and add 15 drops of prepared celandine oil.Allow the mixture to soak for 24 hours and then apply it as a compress or simple rub.The advantage of adding alcohol is that the effects of the tincture are visible within a few weeks.
- tea tree essential oil;
- After cooking in a water bath with vegetable oil in a ratio of 1:1 (lasting 3 hours).The prepared liquid is cooled and poured; compression should be done twice a day - in the morning and in the evening.
- Iodine (sold free in pharmacies).
When applying a compress, it is important to keep the dressing on the foot to prevent the treatment from becoming ineffective.Getting rid of foot fungus is a complicated and time-consuming process, but if you follow the above methods regularly, you will be able to forget about this disease.
If you don't want to use the dressing and scrap gauze again, you can wipe the affected area with the mixture.The oil releases sap in about 20 minutes, which is absorbed by the nail and destroys fungal spores.Diligence, effort and responsibility for your health will be your faithful companions in the treatment process.
Contraindications
When using celandine (especially pure celandine), remember that the plant is poisonous; overdose can cause cramps in the limbs.The main substance chelidonine and its compounds can also produce similar effects.Poisons in low concentrations can be helpful, but in high concentrations they can have consequences that are difficult to deal with.
If celandine nectar enters the body of an animal, the animal will first become depressed and then die due to complete paralysis of the nervous system.An overdose of celandine affects people no differently.If treatment includes celandine, be sure to keep the medication in a safe place out of the reach of children and pets.Don't forget to exercise caution and consult your doctor before use - fungus in its disappearing stages may cause other problems in the legs beyond the feet.
