What is the alcohol content for fire therapy

Nowadays, medical technology is advancing rapidly, and there are more and more ways to treat diseases. Fire therapy is a relatively new treatment method. It is a treatment method that uses graded alcohol or medical alcohol to rub on human skin and then burn it. Fire therapy has many benefits for human joints or muscle tissues, but it has a relatively high requirement for alcohol. Here is an introduction to the alcohol content used in fire therapy.

How much alcohol is needed for fire therapy

Fire therapy requires 95-proof alcohol.

For fire therapy, medical alcohol or edible grade alcohol is needed. Industrial alcohol cannot be used because it contains methanol, which is harmful to the human body. In addition, medical alcohol is divided into 75 medical alcohol, 95 medical alcohol and 99.9 medical grade anhydrous alcohol. 75 medical alcohol is generally used for disinfection, and 95 medical alcohol is generally used for fire therapy.

How to test whether alcohol is 95%

To check whether the alcohol concentration has reached 95%, the combustion method can be used. That is, dip some alcohol on absorbent cotton and conduct a combustion test. When the alcohol concentration reaches 95%, it will burn completely without any "crackling" sound and the flame will be dark blue. If the concentration is low, it will make a "crackling" sound when burning, the flame will be light yellow, and the flame will go out quickly; the cotton wool has a high water content and will not be burned.

Precautions for fire therapy

1. Do not do it on an empty stomach. Drink plenty of warm water one hour after a meal and before and after the fire therapy (absolutely do not eat cold rice or drink cold water).

2. You cannot take a bath for 12 hours after the fire therapy (you can wash your hands and face with warm water at least 6 hours later). After the fire therapy, you must lie flat on the bed for 45 minutes.

3. During the operation, the operator should concentrate and the glue block should not be dipped into too much liquid medicine. Too much, the patient cannot tolerate it; too little, the fire is insufficient and the therapeutic effect cannot be achieved. The key is to control the amount of medicine liquid and the temperature so that the patient can tolerate it and feel comfortable with the fire therapy. Otherwise, careless operation may easily cause burns.

4. After the fire therapy is completed, rub the affected area with sheep fat to prevent the fire from leaking out, but to penetrate the joints directly, reach the whole body, warm the internal organs, and promote the circulation of qi and blood.

5. During the fire therapy period, avoid wind and cold, and avoid all raw and cold foods.

6. Do not use if you have fever, hypertension, hypoglycemia, etc.
