Use coarse salt to warm joint pain

We can often see athletes performing heroically on the field and winning glory for the country. Some of them slam dunk on the court, while others flip up and down on the horizontal bar. Some swim around in the pool like fish. We couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. This is simply the perfect combination of power and beauty. I feel extremely envious. But we can see their bright and beautiful side. Sometimes you can see them in a very miserable state. Collisions are inevitable on the sports field. Some are between people, and some are between people and equipment. Since it is all unintentional, it will definitely cause some harm. At this time, we will see medical staff using ice packs to relieve their pain. Some people say that using hot compress with coarse salt can also relieve joint pain. Is this scientific?

Heat one pound of coarse salt in an iron pan, pour it into the sewn cloth bag, and then wrap it with a layer of towel. Apply it to the knee area, and don't fill it too full with salt so that you can adjust the shape according to the posture and the location of the hot compress.

Coarse salt can be heated and used for a long time, and the medicine bag should be replaced every 7 days. A course of treatment is 7 days.
