Ginger and kidney

In the case of these poultices that we propose, ginger stands out for its high calorific potential, whether we take it or apply it externally. We especially recommend it to chilly people in those cold seasons.

In hot months we must bear in mind that sweating can increase. But in this case it will always be beneficial, because the kidneys benefit from the heat applied directly to the back, since they are organs that tend to cool down.

In addition, ginger is recommended in the natural treatment of inflammatory and / or painful diseases, so it will relieve any discomfort in a short time.

In summary, this ginger poultice treatment will improve blood flow throughout the area, relax it, relieve discomfort and contribute to a better elimination of toxins.

Why should we take care of the kidneys?

The kidneys are organs that remove a large amount of toxins from our body. That is why it is important to take care of them in a natural way. Especially those people who suffer from grit, uric acid, urinary tract infections or fluid retention. It is also a good remedy for those who suffer from muscle pain in that area of ​​the back.

What will we need?

We will need the main ingredient, ginger, which we can use in two ways:

• 3 tablespoons ground ginger or 5 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

In addition, we must have the following materials on hand :

• A casserole
• A gauze
• Thread

• A larger towel or blanket

Preparation

• We will choose either of the two options and we will introduce the ginger in a gauze or fine cloth, which we will tie with a thread as if it were a small package.
• We will put this package in a saucepan with two liters of water, bring to a boil and turn off the heat.
• With the help of a wooden spoon, we will squeeze the package well so that it releases all the infused ginger.
• In that water, with the fire already off, we will also introduce two small wipes.

How are they applied?

We will need someone else to apply it to us. You will need to wear rubber gloves to avoid burning yourself.

• The person will lie face down with the lower back and part of the dorsal area uncovered.

• We will first apply one of the wipes, well drained, covering the entire uncovered area of ​​the back. It should be hot but not burning.
• On top we will place a dry towel to keep warm.
