Treatment with raw potatoes. Treatment with potato sprouts

Hello, friends!

It would seem that we know everything about potatoes and consider this our favorite vegetable to be primordially Russian. Potatoes are our second bread. But, in addition to eating, you can also be treated with potatoes. And today's publication about the treatment of raw potatoes, potato juice, as well as potato sprouts and flowers. Personally, I always remember about potatoes first of all, if something happens.

A bit of history. As early as the 4th century AD, potatoes were consumed by the Indians of South America. It was not just their main food, they revered the potato as a deity.

Potatoes arrived in Europe from South America around 1551.

And Peter I already at the end of the 18th century brought to us the first fruits of potatoes from Holland.

Now potatoes are on our table almost every day. In the Kemerovo region, in the city of Mariinsk, they even erected a monument to potatoes. Here's a positive one:

Although still the championship in the production of potatoes in the world is occupied by China, not Russia.

What is the value of potatoes

Potatoes contain a lot of complex carbohydrates in the form of starch, fiber, dietary fiber, a lot of vitamin C. It should be noted here that vitamin C is absorbed only in its raw form, it is not preserved in boiled or baked potatoes.

Potato is rich in a variety of microelements, so it is very important to include it in everyone's menu, and especially for people involved in physical activity, athletes, to strengthen muscles, as well as to strengthen the nerves and heart, since this product contains such a useful element as potassium.

Potatoes are not only useful to eat, but can also be used for treatment. This is such a miracle that heals almost everything! I have mentioned it in many blog posts. Now it's the turn to tell you more about potato treatment.

Potatoes in all recipes, however, as well as for food, we take only good quality, in no case turned green and not with sprouts, such a fruit contains a dangerous poison. Most often, it becomes such by February. So it is preferable to carry out treatment with potatoes from May-June to December-January.

Raw potato treatment

Probably the most famous way to treat raw potatoes is its external application.

It can be:

• burns
• boils
• papillomas and warts
• bruises
• edema
• calluses
• cracked heels
• eczema, ulcers, urticaria, lupus and other skin diseases
• fungal infections
• purulent lesions
• insect bites
• osteochondrosis and rheumatism
• and others

To treat the affected areas, raw potatoes (often with the peel) are rubbed on a grater, put on gauze folded in several layers and attached to the diseased area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe skin.

Change the dressing as it dries. It can be done as many times a day as you like.

Potatoes reduce pain and swelling, and healing is faster.

In some cases, as an emergency, you can even just cut a small raw potato in half and attach the cut to the sore spot.

Once I poured boiling water on myself and, after cooling my leg with water, immediately applied grated raw potatoes - the first thing that came to my mind. And then, with further treatment, I alternated it with ointments. I think he has been a great help to me.

The anti-inflammatory properties of potatoes are greatly increased by the addition of.

With the skin diseases listed above, half a glass of grated gruel from potatoes is enough for one teaspoon of honey.

To relieve pain in osteochondrosis, potatoes and honey are mixed in equal proportions.

Back in 1956, scientists in Czechoslovakia found that potatoes are the best blood purifier of all vegetables in the world.

And the method of cleansing raw potatoes is as follows: every morning on an empty stomach you need to eat half a glass of finely grated, literally mashed, raw potatoes, not chewing, but swallowing, drinking water.

After an hour and a half, you can have breakfast.

There are no time limits for taking potatoes, listen to your body. In a few weeks, according to the herbalist Vitaly Ostrovsky, whose recipe I met on youtube, all diseases will disappear from you.

I must say, I was curious about who Vitaly Ostrovsky was, watched his videos, got acquainted with the tips and recipes on his website, and I think that his treatment method, which is based on proper nutrition, deserves attention and can be trusted.

Treatment with potato juice

Potato juice has been treated for a long time.

Since there are many alkaline elements in potatoes, its use normalizes the acid-base balance in the body. Therefore, potato juice helps to treat gastritis with high acidity, it is drunk with stomach and duodenal ulcers.

Potato juice inhibits the secretion of the gastric glands, relieves pain, promotes scarring of the ulcer.

How to make potato juice

3-4 potatoes are washed, peeled (but not necessary) and rubbed on a fine grater. Then squeeze the juice through cheesecloth. Let it stand for a couple of minutes so that the starch settles and immediately drink it. Juice must be prepared fresh every time, it cannot be stored.

Treatment of gastritis

People suffering from gastritis with high acidity are advised to drink potato juice 2-3 times a day. This should be done 30 minutes before meals. Moreover, you should start taking with 1/4 cup and gradually increase the dose to half a cup. For preventive purposes, it is useful to drink potato in spring and autumn. The course of admission is two weeks.

Ulcer treatment

I have heard many reports about the complete cure of stomach ulcers in people who drink potato juice.

It should be taken for 20 days, ½ cup 4 times a day (three times - half an hour before meals and the 4th time at bedtime).

They say that on the second day of admission comes relief.

Headache, hypertension

Take juice of 50 ml. twice a day before meals.

constipation

Mix potato juice with so much beetroot juice, take 100 ml three times a day.

Runny nose

Since the potato contains vitamin C, as well as substances that strengthen the vascular wall, it is useful for the common cold. Squeeze some juice from a potato and put it in your nose.

burns

Burns are often more convenient to treat with juice lotions than with grated potatoes. They need to be changed every three hours.

Contraindications

• gastritis with low acidity
• kidney failure
• diabetes

Potato decoction treatment

I think that many had to treat a runny nose, sore throat and cough with a decoction of potatoes in childhood. I do so very often!

To do this, put the potatoes in their skins to boil in a saucepan. Then we remove the saucepan from the heat, put it in front of us, cover ourselves with a large towel and inhale - we breathe over the vapors. We perform this procedure once a day before going to bed for 5-10 minutes.

Potato steam helps to expectorate phlegm and reduce inflammation.

Potato decoction is also used for frostbite.

After the sensitivity of frostbitten limbs is restored, it is useful to hold them in warm potato broth for about 30 minutes.

Treatment with sprouts and flowers of potatoes

It is impossible to eat potatoes on which sprouts appeared because of the formation of corned beef poison not only in the sprouts themselves, but also in the peel, but the potato sprouts themselves can very well be used for treatment. After all, such a poison in small doses, subject to the rules of admission, removes viruses and fungi, heals wounds, and even fights cancer. Corned beef is also found in potato flowers.

In chronic tonsillitis, a cold, a decoction of potato flowers is made to gargle a sore throat (one tablespoon per glass of water).

But the use of infusions or tinctures from sprouts and flowers of potatoes inside cause me doubts. I don’t want to rewrite just recommendations from the Internet, especially since the recipes are somewhat scattered, and I didn’t find any other material on this topic.

I was concerned about the way it was used. Since it is still a poison, albeit diluted with water, there can be no errors in the reception regimens. And the recommendations are as follows: take both a teaspoon and a tablespoon, sometimes there is a method of taking, starting with one drop dissolved in 50 ml of water with a gradual increase to 20 drops, which is closer to the truth, it seems to me. But here, after bringing the number of drops to 20, it is advised to interrupt the reception for several days. Maybe this is how it should be, I won’t argue, I’m not strong in this topic. I happened to take various useful poisons, and I know that usually when taking poisons, there is a scheme with an increase in the number of drops and their accumulation in the body, and then the same gradual withdrawal of poisons with a decrease in the number of drops. This is the moment that raised my doubts. If anyone has taken sprout tinctures, please share your results and recipes.

Many people know about the healing properties of onions and garlic. But potatoes, as it turned out, have no less of them.

Potatoes are not only nutritious, but also a healing product. With it we get most of the vitamin C: 250-300 g of potatoes contain the daily norm of this vitamin and 5 norms of vitamin P, which maintains capillary impermeability, reduces their fragility and prevents bleeding. The interaction of these two vitamins ensures the prevention of rheumatism, tuberculosis, diabetes, capillary hemorrhages of toxic origin.

Moreover, the bag itself should correspond in shape to the lower leg, ankle joint or fingers, depending on where you need to put the compress. Under the bag, you should first lay an oilcloth. The thickness of the potato layer should be - 1.5 - 2 cm. Wrap the sore spot with this bag and cover with oilcloth, then bandage it so that nothing flows out of the compress. With a compress, you should go to bed with your foot on the pillow. Sleep comes quickly, as soon as you feel warm, if the compress does not warm, then it is poorly made.

Do this for 7 days, and then according to the result, if in the first 2-3 days the pain disappeared and then does not appear, there is no need to apply further compresses.

Today I want to talk about my experience with raw potatoes. You will be surprised, but they can cure a lot of things, up to cancerous tumors.

Raw potatoes contain such useful substances as phosphorus, potassium, sulfur. That is why raw potato juice is so useful. During heat treatment, potatoes lose their medicinal properties.

There is a sweet potato variety. It has a sweeter taste, which is a consequence of the high content of natural sugars. It also has three times more calcium, two times more sodium, more than two times more silicon and more than four times more chlorine. If you want to try this remedy, keep in mind that the potatoes should be free of smudges and rotten spots.

When I was still very young, one unpleasant incident happened to me, which, nevertheless, revealed to me the healing power of potatoes.

How to cure an abscess on the leg with potatoes

It all started with the fact that a bump appeared under my knee, which prevented me from walking. I do not like such things on myself and they always beckon me to do something with them. Well, I blew it up. The next day, the abscess increased and began to fester. I had to go to the hospital, as the case took an unpleasant turn. The doctor was horrified by the state of affairs and scared me no less. They gave several injections to stop the infection and sent him home.

On the same day, having learned about this problem, a neighbor came to us. She brought with her a gruel of grated potatoes and wrapped it around my leg. After some time, I felt better, the pain subsided and I fell asleep. In the morning it turned out that the infection was gone and only a small trace remained from the terrible abscess.

Potato for burns

A few years later, another incident happened. One day, my mother, while removing a cast-iron from a hot stove, scalded her hand. The neighbor, who heard the screams, was not long in coming. Quickly realizing the reason for these heartbreaking sounds, she grated some potatoes in a bowl and dipped her mother's hand into it. Immediately after that, she began to make a second portion of the gruel, where she shifted the hand of the victim. They made several such shifts and as a result, even the bubbles did not go on the hand. There was only redness, which disappeared after a few days.

cold potato

There is another interesting fact about the "potato magic". During the war years and after it, women treated their children for colds by covering them in a blanket and bending hot potatoes over cast iron.

Also noteworthy is the therapy of "trampling" hot potatoes. The bottom line is that you need to boil the potatoes and ... start trampling them! But it seemed to me quite tough and I decided to make a little friend. I spun the potatoes in a meat grinder and tied a kind of cake to my leg. After a few days, the leg began to feel better, and after a week she felt great.

For those who were inspired by the idea of ​​​​potato treatment, it must be said that such dressings need to be changed every two hours, since this, like any external method, is useful only during this time.

Potato flowers for cancer

When cancerous tumors occur in the internal organs, an infusion of potato flowers is used. The recipe looks something like this: pour three tablespoons of potato flowers with 1.5 cups of boiling water and insist in a warm place (you can, for example, use a thermos for this) for three hours. It is necessary to take half a glass three times a day half an hour before meals for 14 days.

Potato juice cleansing

Potato juice also cleanses the body well.

Fresh potato juice, grown without the use of artificial fertilizers, is quite tasty on its own, but mixed with carrot juice (no less healthy) gives very good results.

For example, it helps with digestive disorders and nervous diseases. I recommend mixing: 100 grams of potato and celery juice and 200 grams of carrot juice. If any ingredient causes you discomfort at the initial stage, reduce its amount and add gradually.

Contraindications

Finally, it must be said that raw potatoes contain easily digestible sugars, which, when cooked, turn into starch. Prone to sexual arousal, as well as those suffering from sexually transmitted diseases, it is better to refrain from consuming it.

How to store potatoes at home

Before you send the potatoes to the deposits, you need to sort them. If it is already completely spoiled, throw it away, and if the case is not running, then starch can be made from spoiled potatoes at home.

Ideal storage locations are underground, cellar and basement with sufficient ventilation. For convenience, it is better to sort the potatoes into wooden boxes, so that it is convenient to control the condition of the product.

The temperature should be around 16-18 degrees and humidity at 80-90%.

It is important to observe the storage conditions for the first 20 days, then the tubers are practically not in danger.

At high temperatures, the tubers will begin to germinate very quickly. To avoid this, you need to maintain the temperature at 1-2 degrees. But, unfortunately, it is often impossible to do this at home. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to ventilate the room with potatoes with cold air. Then the potatoes can stock up on cold for a while.

seed potatoes

Before planting, seed potatoes must be germinated in daylight (direct rays should not fall) at a temperature of 16-19 degrees. It is not necessary to dig deep (more than 20 centimeters) seeds.

If you plant seeds with green sprouts that have already come out, then in about a week the potatoes will already sprout.
