The Benefits of Badger Fat
In the composition of badger fat, there are many useful substances that are extremely valuable for the human body. In particular, it contains unsaturated fatty acids, which support the maintenance of immunity and protect tissue cells from the negative influence of external factors.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids, which also form part of badger fat, relieve inflammation, provide full nutrition to cells, organs and tissues, and also promote the formation of "good" cholesterol and the normalization of metabolic processes. In addition, badger fat is a natural source of vitamins and beneficial microelements, including carotene and B vitamins, which are very important for the child's body.
How to treat cough in children badger fat?
First of all, it should be understood that badger fat can be given to children with cough only as an additional means to the basic therapy recommended by a pediatrician. He can help only when this unpleasant symptom is caused by a cold pathology, and not by such severe and dangerous diseases as bronchitis, pneumonia, pleurisy or tuberculosis.
To get rid of cough for colds in children up to a year is used to grind badger fat. Immediately before going to bed, the baby is rubbed with feet, back and chest, put on cotton socks and pajamas, and then immediately put to bed. As a rule, after a few days there is a significant relief, but in any case, treatment should continue for at least a week. In severe cases, the use of this tool is allowed up to a month.
Rubbing can also be practiced in older children, but with a cough in a child of 3 years there is another way of using badger fat.
A more noticeable effect can be achieved if the baby takes this medicine inside. In this case, one teaspoon should be given to the child in the early morning, immediately after awakening, on an empty stomach, and three more - before each meal. Children of adolescence with cough should be given badger fat as well as babies, but the dosage should be increased to one tablespoon for each intake.
Since small children can refuse to take such a drug inside, it is better to dissolve it in hot milk and add a couple of teaspoons of honey. If desired, milk can be replaced with tea, compote or any other warm drink that the baby likes.
Finally, today in most pharmacies you can buy badger fat in capsules without taste and smell, which are very easy to give to a child.
