The turpentine bathtub represents means for rejuvenation and improvement of organism. Regular reception of bathtubs helps to cope with many chronic diseases, to reduce duration of the rehabilitation period after serious illnesses and operations. The effectiveness of the procedure depends on correctness of preparation of bathtub.
- - tonometer for measurement of pressure;
- - vessel for water with measured divisions;
- - water thermometer;
- - hours;
- - small mirror;
- - the distilled water;
- - children's soap;
- - salicylic acid;
- - zhivichny turpentine;
- - camphoric alcohol;
- - caustic natron;
- - oleic acid.
1. Prepare all necessary tools and ingredients. "Yellow" and "white" emulsion it is better to take in finished form as process demands certain skills and it is possible to be mistaken easily in dosage, and it will lower efficiency of the procedure. But if there is no opportunity to gain ready structures, then it is possible to try to prepare them independently.
2. Prepare "white" turpentine emulsion. In the enameled pan pour the distilled water (550 ml.), bring to boiling. Pour small planed children's soap (30 grams) and salicylic acid (3 grams) into water. You cook structure on small fire, stirring slowly until pieces of soap completely are dissolved. Switch off fire and add zhivichny turpentine to solution (500 ml.), carefully mix. Pour out camphoric alcohol in mix (20 ml.). Liquid needs to be cooled and poured in glasswares, to store in the dark place.
3. Make "yellow" solution. In small pan pour in glass of castor oil and put on water bath. In parallel prepare solution of caustic natron – put on rubber gloves and pour in the distilled water in glass flask (133 ml.). Rotating flask, pour into it 13.3 grams of caustic natron – continue rotations until until granules completely are dissolved. Wait for solution cooling, then slowly and accurately pour in flask contents in castor oil – on slow fire you cook mix, stirring slowly, before solidification. Add oleic acid to pan (150 ml.) also disturb until the structure does not become liquid. Switch off fire and add 0.5 liters of turpentine. Mix everything and pour in glass capacity.
4. Dissolve the necessary emulsion in water. Fill bathtub with temperature water 36-37oc. Shake up the chosen emulsion (or mix both), measure 10-20 ml (for the first procedure, then it is possible to increase volume) pour out in the container with hot water and carefully mix. Add solution to bathtub, stirring slowly and distributing it hands on all volume of water.
