Bischofite salts lie at a depth of more than a kilometer; they are mined by pumping water into a well and dissolving them, after which they are simply pumped up. Thus, bischofite is extracted from the bowels of the earth, and the solution is used as a medicine in the treatment of certain diseases.

When bischofite solution is used during medical procedures, its use is determined by the attending physician; for different diseases, an appropriate concentration of liquid is needed. A fairly common way to use this mineral is in baths, which are prepared by pouring 250 milliliters of solution into a container. Sometimes it is more convenient to use the product in the form of salt crystals, in which case, 250 grams of the substance are placed in a linen bag and lowered into the bath; when the salt dissolves, it is removed. The water temperature should be comfortable for the patient, preferably 36 or 38 degrees.

Such procedures can be carried out at home, each of them lasts 15 minutes, after which you need to take a warm shower to wash off the remaining salt from the body. Baths should be taken every other day, and the number of sessions should be at least 8, but not more than 12, this is quite enough to feel an improvement in your condition. In cases where pain in the joints arises from a bruise or dislocation, make a more concentrated solution and keep the damaged limb in a basin or small bath. For a therapeutic effect, you will need to dissolve 250 grams of salt in a liter of hot water, and the session lasts half an hour.

Doctors recommend taking baths with bischofite for a variety of ailments; it is known that the substances contained in the mineral can relieve inflammation, so it is advisable to carry out the procedure for a common cold. But more serious diseases also respond well to treatment, among them hypertension; after lying in a warm bath with bischofite dissolved in water, a person can measure blood pressure and see its decrease, and a full course will stabilize the patient’s condition for a long time. If a chronic illness has been going on for several years, then you will have to do such activities several times a year.

In some cases, it is much more useful to make compresses; for this you need to know how to dilute bischofite; for local use, they usually take 250 grams of salt or the same amount of concentrated solution and dissolve it in one liter of hot water. The procedure can be done for patients with sinusitis, a cold, severe cough or sore throat; first, the sore spot must be warmed with a heating pad, then a piece of gauze should be moistened in the solution and applied to the sore spot. Place a plastic film on top and wrap it with a warm scarf or scarf.

The same compress can be applied to the hands for arthritis; several procedures can reduce pain and relieve inflammation during exacerbation of the disease. Of course, you should not expect an immediate improvement in the condition, especially when the disease is already advanced, but after 12 procedures the patient will feel much better. It is usually recommended to carry out all manipulations in the evening, and in the morning you should rinse the skin with warm water and lubricate it with an emollient cream. Sometimes a person may feel a burning sensation from the drug, in which case the procedure is interrupted, but it is better to check the skin in advance for a reaction from bischofite by applying a drop of solution to it.

When treating diseases of the upper respiratory tract, you can also use bischofite solution; the instructions for use in such cases state that you need to take three tablespoons of salt of this mineral and dilute it in a liter of boiling water. After this, a cup of liquid is placed in front of the patient and covered with a blanket; the steam should be inhaled for ten or fifteen minutes. After the procedure, you should not play sports or go outside at all; it is best to lie down under a warm blanket and fall asleep. This procedure can be done if a cough begins, a sore throat or a runny nose.

You can also gargle with bischofite solution when a sore throat begins; for this you will need to dissolve a teaspoon of salt in warm water. You can take salt in crystals, or a concentrated solution of the product, the effect of the medicine will not change, the only precaution is that it is advisable to first pour the dry substance into a linen bag so that there are no solid pieces in the rinse liquid that are not dissolved in water. The resulting solution is used three or four times a day, depending on the severity of the disease and the physical condition of the patient.

Baths and inhalations should not be used if the patient has a high temperature; such manipulations can significantly increase fever and chills. Gynecologists recommend baths with bischofite if the patient has inflammation of the appendages and some types of benign tumors. However, in case of these diseases, you should definitely consult with your doctor about the duration of sessions and their number. You should not decide on your own to start treatment with bischofite; the consequences can be unpredictable, especially if oncology is suspected.

When studying the effect of bischofite on the human body, scientists found that this substance has a beneficial effect on the skin. Therefore, now cosmetologists produce and widely use anti-aging creams and face masks with minerals; ladies claim that after several procedures, the face becomes soft and smooth, the skin is elastic, and small wrinkles disappear before the eyes. Masks should be done every other day, after 12 procedures, you need to give the body a rest, and then you can do another course. It is advisable to use the cream with the addition of bischofite at night, and wash your face with warm water in the morning, after which you apply makeup.

To restore the elasticity and smoothness of aging skin, older women are recommended to take baths with bischofite in courses of 10 sessions, with a break of two weeks. The procedures should be carried out two or three times a week; such manipulations are quite enough for the lady to look and feel much better. Experts say that this mineral has the properties of the legendary living water; it is, of course, impossible to grow new limbs, but it is quite possible to improve your health. Before you start treatment with the miraculous mineral, you should definitely consult with your doctor.

Application

Instructions for the therapeutic use of bischofite brine in the form of compresses

Bischofite is a natural mineral. In composition, it is a bromine magnesium chloride brine with a mineralization of 400-450 g/l, with an acidic reaction, containing various trace elements (iodine, copper, iron, silicon, molybdenum, titanium, lithium, etc.)

Bishofite brine is transported and stored in glass containers or plastic canisters. It is stored at any temperature. Shelf-life Unlimited. The brine that has turned yellow with sediment does not lose its properties.

Therapeutic effect

Compresses with bischofite have a moderate anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect in chronic inflammatory diseases.

Indications for use

Diseases of the musculoskeletal system:

• deforming arthrosis, including complicated by secondary synovitis;
• rheumatoid arthritis;
• osteoarthritis without pronounced manifestations of reactive synovitis;
• vertebrogenic diseases of the nervous system in patients with compression and reflex syndromes of the cervicothoracic and lumbosacral spine (radiculitis, lumbodynia, lumbar ischiapgia, etc.)

Stages of the disease - incomplete remission, reverse development with moderate pain, muscle contractures in children suffering from cerebral palsy.

Bischofite in the form of compresses can be used in geriatric practice or in relatively severe cases of the disease, when the use of general mineral baths is contraindicated. Compresses with bischofite can be used both in hospitals and at home under the supervision of a doctor.

Assignment method

The area of ​​the body to be treated (joint, lumbar region, etc.) is warmed with a blue lamp or heating pad for 3-5 minutes. 20-30 g of bischofite heated to 38° - 40°C are poured onto a saucer and, wetting the fingers with brine, lightly rub into the painful area, as if massaging the tissue for 3-5 minutes. Then gauze is soaked in the remaining brine, applied to the joint or other painful area, covered with wax paper and the entire area is wrapped, making a warm compress. The procedure is usually carried out overnight, leaving the compress on for 8-10 hours. In the morning, the remains of bischofite are washed off the skin with warm water. For a course of treatment, 12-14 procedures are recommended, carried out every other day. If signs of skin irritation appear, treatment is interrupted. After the symptoms of skin irritation disappear, treatment can be continued. At the same time, exposure can be carried out on no more than 2-3 large joints. Patients with impaired cardiovascular function should use the minimum dosage - the duration of the procedure is reduced to 6-7 hours and affects only one joint. In geriatric practice, the brine is diluted with water to bring the mineralization to 150-200 g/l. A repeated course of treatment can be carried out at intervals of 2-3 months. When pain in the joints decreases, the range of motion should be actively increased. If there is a significant exacerbation or intolerance to the procedures, they are canceled. Resorting to other types of treatment.

Side effects

Skin irritation with daily use of compresses.

Contraindications

1. Individual intolerance to procedures.
2. Diseases in the acute stage, as well as severe clinical course of the disease.
3. Skin disease in the affected area.
4. The appearance of signs of bromism, iodism and other allergic conditions.

Head of the Main Directorate of Medical and Preventive Care V.I. Kalinin

Instructions for the use of bischofite baths from bischofite brine or bischofite salt

Bischofite is a natural mineral containing 96% magnesium chloride and admixtures of other salts, as well as trace elements (bromine, iodine, copper, iron, silicon, rubidium, molybdenum, boron, titanium, lithium, etc.)

Bischofite occurs at a depth of 1000 - 1700 m in the form of highly soluble crystals. It is easily mined by underground solution through a well.

“Issues of balneology, physiotherapy and therapeutic physical culture” No. 4 1988

Bishofite as a balneotherapeutic factor

V.B. Kiselev— Central Research Institute of Balneology and Physiotherapy, Moscow

Natural deposits of bischofite are formed in artesian basins of platform areas and marginal troughs containing ultra-strong (300 - 500 g/dm 3) magnesium chloride brines. Regionally, bischofite deposits - solid salts and brines are common in many regions of the country, for example in the Permian aquifer complexes of the southeast of the Russian Platform and the Cis-Ural Trough, in the Meso-Cenozoic Central Asia, in the Cambrian of the Irkutsk basin, Ciscarpathia, etc. ... Bischofite has a diverse appearance , which depends on the color, transparency and size of bischofite grains, as well as mineral impurities.

Magnesium chloride brine from the Volgograd deposit is obtained by underground dissolution (leaching) of bischofite. To do this, fresh water is pumped into a well, where the water is saturated with bischofite salt. Saturation is carried out until the specific gravity reaches 1.33 g/cm 3 , which corresponds to a total mineralization of 430-470 g/d 3 . The prepared bischofite solution is pumped into a pressure tank located at the well, from where it is poured into tanks and delivered to consumers under sanitary conditions.

Bischofite of the Nizhne-Volzhsky (Volgograd) deposit lies at a depth of about 1000 - 1700 m. Its composition includes magnesium chloride (MgC 2) 415-460 g/dm 3, magnesium bromide (MgBr 2) 4 - 9 g/dm 3, sulfate calcium (CaSO 4) up to 1 g/dm 3, calcium chloride (CaCl 2) up to 4 g/dm 3, calcium bicarbonate (CaHCO 3) up to 0.5 g/dm 3, potassium chloride (KCI) up to 5 g/dm 3, sodium chloride (NaCl) up to 5 g/dm3. Bishofite also contains a large number of trace elements (bromine, boron, iodine, copper, iron, silicon, rubidium, molybdenum, titanium, lithium, etc.) with known pharmacological activity. Bishofite does not contain any damaging micro- and macro-components. In appearance it is a clear, colorless or slightly yellow, odorless liquid.

Bishofite is used in various sectors of the national economy, incl. in medical practice.

... Bishofite is prescribed AS COMMON OR LOCAL BATHS. For general exposure, the bath is filled with water at a temperature of 36 0 - 37 0 C and bischofite brine is dissolved in it at a dilution of 1:50, which corresponds to approximately 10 g/dm 3. To prepare 1 bath (150 liters) you need 3 liters of bischofite brine. The duration of the procedure is 10 -15 - 20 minutes. Baths are taken every other day. The course consists of 10-12 procedures. Bischofite baths are prescribed as a balneotherapeutic agent in the complex treatment of patients outside the acute stage when the disease has been no more than 5-7 years old. Under the influence of taking baths, patients’ general condition, mood, and night’s sleep improve. Asthenoneurotic complaints noticeably decrease or disappear. The general condition of the patient also noticeably improves due to the disappearance or reduction of the inflammatory process, pain syndrome, elimination of muscular-tonic myalgia, vegetative-vascular and other reflex disorders. The range of movements in the spine and joints of the limbs increases. Under the influence of taking bischofite baths, blood pressure normalizes and coronary blood flow improves.

INDICATIONS FOR TAKING BISCHOFITE BATHS:

• Diseases of the musculoskeletal system (arthritis, arthrosis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteochondrosis, consequences of injuries);
• Diseases of the peripheral nervous system (reflex radicular and vegetative-vascular syndromes);
• Diseases of the central nervous system (neuroses, asthenoneurotic symptom complexes, neurocirculatory dystonia without crises, mild transient cerebrovascular accidents in patients with mild
  atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels);
• Diseases of the female genital area (inflammatory dyshormonal disorders, menopausal neurosis)
• Thyrotoxicosis;
• Cardiovascular diseases (circulatory failure not higher than stage I, hypertension stage II, renovascular hypertension, coronary heart disease (CHD), including post-infarction cardiosclerosis of the III phase of rehabilitation, angina pectoris I - II functional class, chronic arterial insufficiency of the legs.

CONTRAINDICATIONS TO THE PRESCRIPTION OF BISCHOFITE BATHS:

• circulatory failure stages II-III, coronary artery disease, including post-infarction cardiosclerosis (1st stage of rehabilitation);
• stable angina (III - IV functional class);
• neurocirculatory dystonia with a crisis course;
• repeated transient cerebrovascular accidents with increasing severity of neurological manifestations;
• frequent and severe cerebral transient ischemic attacks with unstable blood pressure;
• decompensated signs of dyscirculatory encephalopathy;
• (III stage) in the vertebrobasilar region, pronounced asthenia.

Bischofite baths are ineffective for diseases that are in the subacute stage or stages of prolonged exacerbation, as well as for people with a disease duration of more than 10-15 years.

In terms of therapeutic effectiveness, bischofite baths do not differ from bromine (iodine-bromine) and sodium chloride baths. The treatment course is usually completed with success in 80% to 86% of patients.

...Clinical observations were carried out on USING BISCHOFITE BRINE IN THE FORM OF COMPRESSES.

The area of ​​the body to be treated (joint, lumbar region, etc.) is warmed with a blue lamp or heating pad for 5 minutes. 20-30 g of bischofite heated to 38 0 - 40 0 ​​C are poured onto a saucer and, wetting the fingers with brine, lightly rub into the painful area, as if massaging the tissue for 3-5 minutes. Then gauze is soaked in the remaining brine, applied to the joint or other painful area, covered with wax paper and the entire area is wrapped, making a warm compress.

The procedure is usually carried out overnight, leaving the compress on for 8-10 hours. In the morning, the remnants of bischofite are washed off the skin with warm (necessarily warm!) water.

For a course of treatment, 12-14 procedures are recommended, carried out daily. If signs of skin irritation appear, treatment is interrupted. After the symptoms of irritation disappear, treatment is continued. At the same time, exposure can be carried out on no more than 2-3 large joints.

For patients with dysfunction of the cardiovascular system, the duration of the procedure is reduced to 6 - 7 hours and only one joint is affected.

The course of treatment can be carried out at intervals of 2-3 months. As soon as the pain decreases, you should actively increase the range of motion in the joints. In case of significant exacerbation or intolerance to the procedures, the effect is canceled, resorting to symptomatic treatment.

Bishofite compresses can be prescribed to patients who, for various reasons, are contraindicated from taking general baths. A contraindication to the prescription of a bischofite brine compress is individual intolerance to the procedures, the appearance of signs of bromism, iodism and other allergic conditions, diseases in the acute stage, as well as severe clinical course of the process and skin diseases in the area of ​​influence. Compresses are also not prescribed for general contraindications to balneotherapy.

The main component of bischofite is magnesium chloride. There is reason to believe that the presence of magnesium provides anti-inflammatory, absorbable, antispastic and vasodilating effects. The therapeutic effect is also facilitated by the microelements present in bischofite, the penetration of which through intact skin has been proven

A large amount of bromine (7310 mg/dm’), which has a regulating effect on the patient’s higher nervous activity, has a positive effect on the results of treatment.

Bishofite is a natural mineral complex containing a large number of different microelements.

Pharmacological action of Bishofite

The therapeutic effect of Bishofite, a natural mineral complex, is determined by the components included in its composition - magnesium, which makes up about a quarter of the total mineralization, as well as potassium, calcium, iodine, iron and bromine contained in significant quantities.

Bishofite has antibacterial, tonic, anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties.

The discovery of Bischofite, which is a super-strong magnesium chloride brine, gave rise to the development of a new method of physiotherapy - Bischofitetherapy.

The therapeutic effect of the use of this mineral is primarily due to the properties of magnesium, which is involved in the formation of bone tissue, has a stimulating effect on the peristalsis of smooth muscle tissue, normalizes the excitability of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, and also has the following effects:

• Anti-ischemic;
• Hypotensive;
• Antiarrhythmic;
• Hypolilipidemic;
• Antithrombotic;
• Sedative;
• Antispastic;
• Analgesic;
• Anticonvulsant.

In addition, other microelements included in the composition of Bishofite also have a therapeutic effect:

• Bromine helps restore the balance of excitation and inhibition in the cerebral cortex;
• Iodine stimulates protein synthesis, increases the fibrinolytic activity of the blood, reduces iodine deficiency due to hypofunction of the thyroid gland and increases the secretion of the glands of the respiratory system;
• Potassium ensures the normal course of bioelectric processes and regulates the functioning of the cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems.

In combination with other microelements, Bishofite helps strengthen the immune system and activate metabolic and enzymatic activity.

Release form

Bishofite is produced in the form of salt brine in glass containers. In addition, it is produced in the form of an external gel in 75 ml tubes.

Indications for use of Bishofite

Bishofite (gel and brine) is indicated for use in the treatment of:

• Diseases of the cardiovascular system - hypertension, coronary artery disease, dystonia;
• Musculoskeletal system – myositis, deforming osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, spinal osteochondrosis, heel spurs;
• Borderline mental illness;
• Disturbances in general well-being, decreased performance;
• Diseases of the peripheral nervous system - neuritis, neuralgia, radiculitis;
• Menopausal disorders of the nervous and cardiovascular systems.

Contraindications

The use of Bishofite is contraindicated for:

• Oncological diseases;
• Diseases in the acute stage;
• Skin diseases in the affected area.

How to use Bishofite

Bischofite as a method of physiotherapy for medicinal purposes is used in various ways. It is used for:

• Warming up;
• Applications (wraps);
• Magnetophoresis;
• Massage;
• Electrophoresis;
• Compresses;
• Shared baths;
• Phonophoresis;
• Local baths;
• Home physiotherapy.

Before using compresses with Bishofite, according to reviews, the body area must first be warmed up for 3-5 minutes. The brine is diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio or rubbed undiluted into the painful area, after which a warm compress should be applied at night. Treatment is carried out every other day, the total number of procedures is 10-12.

Bischofite gel should be rubbed into the painful area with light movements several times a day. In this case, additional insulation and a warming compress to the application site are not required.

The course of treatment with Bischofite gel is from 10 days to two weeks. If necessary, the therapeutic course can be repeated after a month.

It is believed that Bishofite for cellulite, significantly improving the overall condition of the skin, helps smooth out cellulite tubercles.

Bischofite for cellulite is used in the form of baths and compresses for several weeks, after which a break is taken. Bischofite gel is also often used for these purposes.

Side effects of Bishofite

Side effects when using Bishofite, according to reviews, are extremely rare. Daily and too long use can cause allergic skin reactions and tissue irritation.
