Hello, I'm Dr. Alexandre Amato, vascular surgeon at the Amato Institute, and today I'm going to talk about a very simple and important subject. People do not appreciate it. It is one of the best natural anti-inflammatories out there. the staff is looking for alternatives outside medicine outside any medical procedure and forgets something very simple, I know it works, which is the local heat: the famous warm compress has a very good anti-inflammatory effect. The cold compress serves as an analgesic and the warm compress serves as an anti-inflammatory. So it can be used in several critical situations where there may be pain and as an adjunct in the treatment of various diseases. So in areas where there is a certain inflammation it can help to control that inflammation, mainly because there is no limit to its use. We suggest between four or five times a day but unlike some medication that may have a safe limit dose, the use of a warm compress does not have this problem so it can be done as many times as necessary. So come on! I will teach you how to make a warm compress in a well done way. Nowadays. The oldest and most usual method is that everyone has at hand is to use a towel. We use this towel to moisten it in water in hot water. It can be on a tap, for example, after it is well wet with hot water we will wring this towel leaving it moist and ready. It can now be used in the place where you want to have the treatment. So this towel is a very simple way to do it. Watch the water temperature. Water cannot be too hot, otherwise it cannot cause burns! So it's not to be put in boiling water at all. Tap water is often enough. Then turn on hot water a little bit of cold water, put it there, make it very wet, twist and place it over the region and let it cool. You can do it again. You can repeat as many times as necessary. But there is no need to add boiling water or hot water. It is not the high temperature that will treat. It is the exposure time. So the longer you stay with local heat is much better than a little time with a very high temperature. OK?. So this towel is available to everyone, there is no excuse for not using this natural anti-inflammatory method. Another method is this one! They are the thermal bags they are sold in pharmacy are relatively cheap between 10 and 20 reais. They have a gel inside and it was made to put some region in a joint to be treated and it adapts to the anatomy so that the temperature is evenly distributed. So how to do it? The heating of this gel. It can be on the stove, then placing it in a pot of water until it boils. Turn off that stove and let the water go down. Put this thermal bag on for about 4-5 minutes then remove. Make sure it's not too hot. Take great care not to burn yourself or put it in a microwave-safe container: water, putting it for 3 minutes and this bag inside this water will heat up. Can be used. These bags are designed to be used both in cold and in heat. Then they can be stored in the refrigerator in the freezer to be used for low temperature. But then it would be for analgesia and not for anti inflammation.
