The treatment of joints sheet – one of the alternative methods, which, based on feedback from patients, gives a positive result and help to solve the problems of the symptoms of diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
Rolls of plastic film food of many stored in the kitchen and apply of the hostesses at the preparation of the dishes. How this culinary accessory can help in cases of musculoskeletal diseases and if you can apply it for medical purposes? It turns out, the film has a number of unique properties, thanks to which a beneficial effect on the state of the joints.
The properties of the sheet
Foil is a very thin sheet of metal (aluminum, steel, silver, gold ). In fact, it is a metal "paper", very plastic and flexible, which can give any form and use it for the film or the packaging of the products. In the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry uses aluminium foil, which reflects infrared (heat) radiation. This property is provided to the application of the sheet of food during the preparation of the dishes in the warming room and storage products.
It is useful to know
Reflective, high-capacity aluminum foil has found applications in medicine, in particular physiotherapeutic treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The allowing of the heat treatment is in the application or applications of the film of aluminum, which helps reduce the heat and ensure a warm-up. It is a property of the material is widely used to prevent frostbite.
But as usual the food a metallic sheet can help in diseases of the joints? There is a theory according to which the curative effect of the leaf can be explained by the ability to think biotoki, coming out of the energy meridians of our body. At the time of any violation, the acupressure points emit signals that are perceived as pain.
Foil is the reflection of these biotoki back at the same point of the, head of the energy potential of the body of the patient. This effect causes the phenomenon of bio-resonance, has a positive effect on the cellular structure of, and the recovery of the integrity of the energy field, disorders of the disease.
Thanks to the protection biotokov and the strengthening of the matrix of interaction of the field with the cells of the epidermis, one observes an improvement in the condition of the joints. Disappears the pain syndrome, decreases the severity of the inflammatory process, reduces swelling in the area of destruction, recovery of joint mobility of the joints. By reducing the transfer of heat are driven by the process of the blood circulation and limfootoka, and the standardization of the nutrition of the cartilage and muscle tissue, accelerate the metabolism, helps to restore the functions of the joint.
The treatment of the leaf stimulates regenerative and adaptive processes, activates the immune system, strengthens the body's defenses, which allows him to deal with a pathological process and accelerate healing.
Indications and contra-indications
In diseases of the musculoskeletal system, use a sheet for a therapeutic purpose recommended in the following cases:

Care of the body, the superposition of the wraps, wall lights in aluminium have a number of contraindications, which must take into account. In particular:
- the infectious process and the complications of purulent in the development of the cavity of the joint, in this case, the heat will only increase the pain, accelerate the development of inflammation and facilitate the penetration of pus in the surrounding tissue;
- resistant high blood pressure (hypertension);
- tumor process;
- heavy pathology of the cardio-vascular system;
- the damage of the skin in the area of intended impact (wounds, erosion, abrasion);
- allergic reactions occur when the contact with the aluminum foil;
- the presence of вживленных metal implants or stimulants – in case of contact with aluminium increases the risk of their rejection;
- dermatological disease with localization of events (eruptions, erosio) in the area of the joint of the patient;
- the period of pregnancy and breastfeeding.

In addition, a wrap of the sheet is not valid severe respiratory failure and a wrap of the lower limbs – when the thrombophlebitis and diabetes, also complicated ischemic foot or polyneuropathy amyloid family.
How to treat the joints of the sheet?

- the sheet should be applied on the skin gloss (gloss) of the surface, so that the matte side, not blocking the heat;
- if compresses used fabric gauze impregnated with medication of the solution, between it and the layer of aluminum foil, it is necessary to trace the film of cellophane, do not accept the corrosion of metal surfaces.
The time limitation of the procedure due to the fact that metallic sheet, besides the fact that it does not let the heat radiation, still, and prevents the oxygen and the removal of poto-secretions fat. Accordingly, under a bandage, it creates a greenhouse effect which causes irritation of the skin and creates an ideal environment for the reproduction of pathogens.
The treatment of the joints of the sheet of hands and feet

However, the comments of patients who have undergone this method on itself, confirm its effectiveness and talk about concrete positive results.
