Aluminum foil, commonly known as tin foil, is usually found in every household. We can hardly imagine cooking and storing food without it anymore. But few people know that it doesn’t have to be used only in the kitchen. It is truly multifunctional and can help us in the area of health and solve many ailments.
Colds
Flu season is knocking at the door and we start stocking our bodies with a variety of vitamins and minerals so we won’t be caught off guard. However, if the first symptoms of a cold do appear, such as:
- Sore throat
- Cough
- Runny nose
- Fever
It’s good to call in aluminum foil for help. Wrap your feet in 5–7 sheets of aluminum foil and leave them on for at least 1 hour. Remove them and after 2 hours of waiting repeat the procedure. Within a few days you will notice improvement.
Relief from burns
Only a small part of the population knows that aluminum foil is much better for treating burns than any other medicines. First you need to cool the burned area with cold water. Clean the wound thoroughly and carefully dry it with a towel. Once you apply a healing ointment and use gauze, wrap the wound in aluminum foil and secure it with a bandage.
Help for fatigue
Each of us sometimes feels fatigue regardless of physical exertion. Aluminum foil can help us with that. Simply cut strips of foil and put them in the freezer for 2–3 hours. Once you take them out, apply them to your face and eyelids. You will immediately feel relief and a replenishment of lost energy.
Treatment of aching joints
Wrap the parts of the body where your joints hurt significantly in aluminum foil. At this time it’s necessary to limit any movement to a minimum and let the effects of the foil work, preferably overnight. Repeat the procedure every day for 10 days. Then wait 2 weeks and repeat everything. As soon as any of these problems appear, you can try to solve or at least alleviate them with aluminum foil. However, if the symptoms are really severe, do not hesitate to visit your doctor.
