5 effective folk recipes for salt deposition
Let's start with the fact that a separate ailment called salt deposition simply does not exist. In fact, this is the common name for metabolic disorders, which leads to the development of a number of diseases. The pathological process consists in the accumulation of uric acid salts in the body (as a rule, due to a malfunction of water-salt metabolism or insufficiently effective work of the excretory system). As a result, salts either form stones in the bladder or renal ducts, or are deposited inside the joints in the form of so-called osteophytes (crystals that accumulate in the joint capsules and form overgrowth of the edges of the bones). In the latter case, the normal functioning of the musculoskeletal system becomes impossible: due to the thinning of the cartilage covering the heads of the bones, friction increases in the joints,there is a closure of nerve endings, inflammatory processes develop. Patients complain of crunching joints, stiffness, pain when moving and "the weather". Of course, there are medical and physiotherapeutic methods for relieving pain and slowing down the growth of osteophytes. However, one should not neglect the publicly available recipes of traditional medicine: they have been developed over the centuries and can be a good help in the struggle to improve well-being.they have been developed over the centuries and can be a good help in the struggle to improve well-being.they have been developed over the centuries and can be a good help in the struggle to improve well-being.
Honey and raisins
This method is designed to stabilize water-salt metabolism and reduce the accumulation of salts in the joints.

Bay leaf
The popular spice not only improves the taste of food, but also helps remove excess salts from the body. The effect is achieved due to substances that tone up small vessels and increase the speed of blood flow.
To prepare the broth, you need to take 4-5 bay leaves of medium size, pour them with 1.5 cups of boiling water, boil for 3 minutes and pour the whole mixture into a thermos overnight. In the morning, strain the liquid. Take it 2 teaspoons between meals (3-4 times a day). The fact that the drug has begun to act will be evidenced by a change in the color of urine (it will acquire a pinkish tint) and an increase in the urge to urinate. The course of treatment is 3 days. If there are no negative effects, it should be repeated after a week break. In the future, this method of cleansing from salts can be used no earlier than six months later.
The use of a decoction of bay leaf requires strict control of the diet: during the treatment, it is necessary to minimize the intake of fatty, spicy and fried foods, giving preference to vegetable and dairy dishes, and completely abandon alcohol. Failure to comply with these conditions can lead to a deterioration in well-being. In addition, it must be remembered that the drug has a strong diuretic and tonic effect, so this treatment has many contraindications. A decoction of bay leaf should not be taken:
- pregnant women and nursing mothers;
- patients with diabetes mellitus;
- people with gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, a tendency to frequent constipation.

Lingonberry
A unique Siberian plant, the berries and leaves of which have a powerful anti-inflammatory and diuretic effect, is also used to normalize the process of removing salts from the body. In order to weaken the growth of osteophytes, you can take one of two drugs:
- lingonberry leaf tea. For preparation, take 10 g of dry raw materials, pour 100 ml of boiling water and let it brew for 2 hours. The infusion should be taken 2-3 tablespoons twice a day - 30 minutes before breakfast and before bedtime. The course of treatment is 2 months;
- infusion of fruits. Place ripe berries in a glass or earthenware dish, filling it by a third, and add cold boiled water to the top. After a week of infusion, you can start drinking water almost without restrictions. You just need to remember that both the berry itself and the lingonberry water contain a large amount of organic acids, which can negatively affect the health of people with high acidity of gastric juice.
In order to heal the body and alleviate various painful conditions, they use raw lingonberry berries, juice squeezed out of it, and lingonberry jam. Tea made from its leaves and lingonberry water really relieve pain arising from the deposition of salts: it is not for nothing that the representatives of the peoples of the North, who have been drinking these drinks since ancient times, are practically not familiar with such ailments.

Traditional methods of treating salt deposits require a competent approach. In particular, it is necessary:
- include a large amount of dried fruits in the diet of patients in order to make up for the loss of potassium. The fact is that most of the drugs used cause increased urine output and, as a result, the leaching of potassium from the body;
- control the alternation of work and rest, avoid increased stress. Many folk remedies are potent, their use becomes stressful for the body;
- exactly follow the recommended dosages, do not violate the frequency of admission, do not exceed the duration of courses, do not use several methods at the same time. Otherwise, the treatment will not only not help, but also harm.
Most of the popular ways to relieve the symptoms of salt deposition can be combined with traditional drug therapy, but only specialists know how to do this correctly. That is, before starting to use such methods, you must consult a doctor.
