Baking soda is actively used as a medicine for a variety of diseases. Another name for the substance is sodium hydrogencarbonate, in medicine it is often used to reduce the acidity of the stomach, or to neutralize skin burns with acids or substances containing them.
How does soda treat prostatitis?
Treatment of prostatitis with soda is actively discussed in the network, which raises many questions. On the one hand, this is seen as an advantageous, affordable and cheap way, on the other hand, the simplicity of the method casts doubt on its effectiveness.
Strictly speaking, soda is not a medicine, it is not capable of completely neutralizing neither the inflammation itself, nor the factors that cause it. But such an unconventional remedy is quite suitable as an auxiliary treatment for prostatitis, along with medication prescribed by a specialist. The combination of different methods will allow to abandon the rigid antibiotics, will strengthen the effect of the medications taken.
Sodium bicarbonate is an alkali, which is known to neutralize the acid. Soda solutions are taken or made by special baths, when it is important to reduce the acidity of the medium and normalize the alkaline balance in order to treat the disease.
With inflammation of the prostate, the patient takes antibacterial drugs, but additional help to the body does not hurt, if it is agreed with the attending physician. What will be useful soda:
- The solution is able to have an effective antimicrobial effect;
- Prevents the development of the disease;
- Quickly relieves sensations such as itching or burning;
- Promotes rapid and easy removal of pathological lesions from tissues, which excludes mechanical damage to the inflamed area.
Thus, reducing and neutralizing acidity, soda solutions contribute to the rapid and effective destruction of harmful microorganisms, therefore, accelerate the process of recovery.
Methods of treatment or prevention of
There are two ways how to treat prostatitis with baking soda: internal and external. It is important to consider each of them in detail.
Before you start drinking soda solution, you should consult a specialist. There are several reasons for this:
- soda actively neutralizes gastric acid, thereby disrupting digestion and harmful bacteria can enter the body, which, in normal operation, are destroyed by hydrochloric gastric juice.
- with reduced acidity, oral intake is prohibited.
- in the presence of peptic ulcer soda can exacerbate the disease and provoke internal bleeding.
When the doctor approves this method, you can not break the proportion of the solution and the regularity of their use. The maximum effect of any medicinal product is provided only if the dosage is correctly observed. The standard proportions of the solution include a quarter teaspoon of soda and one glass of milk or boiled( filtered) water. As a liquid, you can not use tea, coffee and other beverages.
External application does not have such an extensive list of warnings. Baths based on soda solution also help to fight microbes and actively contribute to reducing inflammation.
In warm, but not hot water add the ready concentrate. The male pelvis should be completely immersed in the bath for the entire duration of the procedure.
Among the many recipes can be identified basic, when two liters of water is taken one tablespoon of soda powder and a teaspoon of iodine. The time for taking the bath is, on average, about 30 minutes, but such a weak solution will not do harm when the procedure is increased. Increasing the amount of water three times, you should reduce the time to 15 minutes. Such baths will help to get rid of itching and burning after two or three sessions.
The method of Dr. Neumyvakin
It is impossible not to mention the currently popular method of combating prostatitis, which was developed by Ivan Pavlovich Neumyvakin. In the past, the specialist was involved in the prevention of asthma, and quite successfully. In a spaceship it is rather difficult to promptly treat such diseases as appendicitis or inflammation of the prostate, therefore it was necessary to develop and implement effective preventive measures.
The technique for Neumyvakin suggests treating prostatitis not only with soda. According to the doctor, hydrogen peroxide is contained in the human body, but in small quantities. Receiving from the outside contributes to an active fight against microbes, helps to quickly get rid of the disease and completely eliminate the inflammation.
The method is based on the properties of this substance:
- hydrogen peroxide effectively fights pathogenic microorganisms;
- promotes the purification of blood vessels from cholesterol;
- reduces the foci of inflammation, and in some cases - completely eliminates them.
Receiving funds is expected inside, starting with a small dose mixed with 50 ml of pure water. The organism needs time to "get used to", because on the first day only a drop of peroxide dissolved in water is taken. Then for nine days every day add one drop. From 11 days drink 10 drops.
Drink this solution three times a day, 15 minutes before meals. When there are unpleasant sensations, pain in the stomach or other negative manifestations, treatment should be stopped.
External reception is also possible, when hydrogen peroxide is added to the heating baths.
Soda - dry analogue of hydrogen peroxide
The second method is the use of baking soda. Her Ivan Pavlovich advises adding to the above solutions peroxide, or use it yourself. The only warning, do not take soda solutions in stomach diseases.
With prostatitis, based on soda solution, enemas are made, after cleansing the intestines with water. In a glass of warm water, add a teaspoon of soda powder or hydrogen peroxide. The syringe composition is injected into the rectum.
Soda intake is already described above. But it is necessary to note the fact that most specialists reject the ways of treating prostatitis according to Neumyvakin. Such methods can be attributed to non-traditional medicine, which has a lot of contraindications.
Contraindications and side effects from soda solutions
When starting treatment with soda, it is not superfluous to assess the possible negative consequences from such remedies. Baking soda is considered safe, but this opinion is relatively. Possible actions and reactions can be deduced by a separate list:
- for any diseases of the stomach reception of solutions inside should be agreed with the doctor;
- soda is capable of leaving burns with prolonged contact with the skin or mucous membranes, so the solution is thoroughly mixed;
- may cause allergic reactions to soda.
Neglecting contraindications is fraught with negative consequences for the body. Observing dosages of soda and consulting with specialists, it is possible to quickly and effectively cure prostatitis.
