Indications for quark wraps

The indications for quark wraps are divided according to whether a cold or a warm effect is desired. Cooling quark compresses are used especially for injuries such as Not only after an acute sports injury, but also for a certain time after operations on a joint, for example, quark compresses can be used for cooling. However, it must be ensured that the operation scars have already healed.

The cooling effect of the quark wrap is also used for inflammations of superficial veins or the skin. Especially an inflammation after an insect bite can be cooled well with quark compresses. The ingredients of the quark also counteract itching.

In case of sunburn, the quark wrap not only provides cooling but also moisture for the stressed skin. There are also many indications for warming quark wraps. Symptoms of colds are leading in this respect, such as The ingredients of the quark fight the pathogens.

In addition, warmth is usually beneficial for the diseases. For deeper-seated respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis, quark compresses can also be applied to the chest. Another major indication for quark compresses is muscle tension.

Through the warmth the muscles can be relaxed again. It is a great advantage that the curd compresses can be applied both locally and over a large area (for example over the entire back).

Contusions,
Sprains,
Bumps
And bruises (so-called haematomas) are used.
Cough,
Sniffles,
Sinusitis,
And a sore throat.

For cold symptoms, such as coughing, warming curd wraps are usually used.

To do this, the curd is applied to a cloth or paper towel and then warmed, preferably with the help of a hot water bottle. Afterwards the curd compresses can be applied to the chest and/or neck. The ingredients of the quark and the heat counteract the coughing stimulus.

In addition, the quark compresses are particularly effective for strongly mucusy bronchial tubes. The warm quark compresses can be used for about 20 to 30 minutes. After that they are usually too cooled down, and the quark also begins to dry out, so a new compress should be used.

Milk congestion is usually accompanied by a painful inflammation of the affected breast. Especially when breastfeeding, however, one does not want to resort to medication or ointments with critical ingredients. An effective and safe alternative are cooling curd compresses.

These can be prepared in large quantities and stored in the refrigerator. The breast must be emptied before use, only then can the curd compresses develop their full effect. Then the compresses are placed on the inflamed breast.

The quark has an anti-inflammatory effect and also relieves pain by cooling. Quark compresses for the breast are often used for breast inflammation. Especially nursing mothers often have to fight with painful inflammations.Milk congestion often makes the symptoms even worse.

As with all types of inflammation, affected persons benefit from cooling. Cold quark compresses can be used for this purpose. It is best to use large quark compresses or several at once so that the entire affected breast can be covered.

In this way the best cooling is achieved. It is important that the breast is warmed up again before the next breastfeeding. Massaging also helps to ensure that milk comes in again after the milk retention has been treated.

Cold curd wraps are also a good aid for other causes of inflammation of the breast, as the ingredients of the curd with their anti-inflammatory effect help with all kinds of inflammation. Warm quark compresses on the chest or rib cage are indicated for respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis, or even a simple cold with cough and rhinitis. The heat helps to loosen the mucus from the lungs.

Quark also has a cough-relieving effect. At the shoulder, the cooling effect of the curd wrap is used above all. After traumatic injuries such as contusions, bruises or strains, curd compresses have a pain-relieving effect.

In addition, they reduce swelling so that better mobility in the shoulder is possible. However, it is important that serious injuries are excluded after initial cooling. Quark wraps can also be used for cooling after shoulder operations, but only after the wounds have completely healed.

Warm curd compresses are needed on the neck if sore throats, coughs or pharyngitis/tummy tonsillitis occur. The warmth relieves the inner sore throat and soothes coughs. The quark also has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Warm curd compresses can also be used for muscular tensions in the neck area. Here they help the muscles to become softer again, which can reduce neck, head and back pain. Sometimes, however, a cold quark wrap is also more pleasant in case of a cold.

When used cold, the decongestant and pain-relieving component is also effective through external cooling. For traumatic neck pain and tension headaches, a cold quark wrap can also help. Another popular indication for curd wrap is sudden nosebleeds.

When the nose starts to bleed, the head should be taken forward. By holding the nose closed, some pressure can be applied to the bleeding vessel. A cold rag or curd wrap in the neck also causes the vessels to become narrower.

This often stops the bleeding within a few minutes. Before you have cooled down a cold pack in the freezer compartment, it is usually quicker to make a quark wrap, which can have the same cooling effect. Which type of quark wrap is perceived as more pleasant is an individual decision.

The only thing that is important is that the application that feels better usually helps. Knee arthrosis is a degenerative process in which the protective cartilage in the knee is increasingly worn out. This also affects the bone, which leads to pain and swelling in the joint.

The pain is mainly caused by movement. For this reason, the use of curd wraps is particularly useful after physical exertion. Since arthrosis is not an inflammatory disease in itself, the effect of the curd compresses is based almost exclusively on cooling the affected knee.

The great advantage of the curd wrap is that there are no side effects, which is why the wrap can be used as often as desired. Quarkwickel wraps can be used for cooling injuries of the knee. Most people use the classic cooling pack for knee pain, but curd wrap can also be used.

An advantage of the wraps is that they provide a discreet but long-lasting cooling. You don’t have to watch out if the skin gets too cold and gets damaged, like with a cold pack. Chronic processes, such as arthritis (inflammatory joint disease) or gonarthrosis (arthrosis of the knee), can be treated symptomatically with curd wraps in case of pain.

Acute injuries such as bruises, sprains or injuries to internal structures can also be cooled with curd wraps. Inflammations such as bursitis (inflammation of the bursa) or superficial inflammation of the skin can also be treated with quark compresses. However, care must always be taken to ensure that the quark compresses do not lie on open wounds.

Cold compresses must not be applied even if there are circulatory problems in the leg.For knee pain caused by muscular tension in the thigh, a warm curd wrap can relieve the symptoms in addition to a massage of the thigh. The typical ankle joint injury that requires cooling is the ligament injury after bending over. A contusion or sprain can also be painful.

Improvement is achieved by putting the ankle up and cooling it. To maintain the effect of the curd wrap, it should be replaced as regularly as possible when it has become warm or the curd begins to dry. The Achilles tendon is irritated during running.

In particular, sports where quick changes of direction are important put a strain on the Achilles tendon. To relieve the pain, the sport must be paused. One should put the foot up and also cool the Achilles tendon.

To cool the Achilles tendon, you can also use quark wraps in addition to cooling packs, which also counteract the irritation of the Achilles tendon. Injuries to the wrist are often caused by absorbing a fall. This results in bruising and spraining of the wrist.

Afterwards, protection and cooling helps. Instead of a conventional cooling pack, a quark wrap can also be used. The cooling effect of the quark wrap is also used for tendosynovitis.

The ingredients also have an anti-inflammatory and decongestant effect. After a fall, a bruise or contusion can occur on the elbow, which must be cooled. Tendon irritations, such as tennis or golf elbow, can also be treated by cold application.

On the one hand, quark compresses are used to cool the tendons, which relieves pain. In addition, the tendon irritation and the associated inflammation can be fought. It is best to fix the quark wrap to the arm with a gauze bandage so that it does not slip or have to be held in place.

Tonsillitis is often not only very painful, but there are also serious swallowing problems due to pain and the large swelling of the tonsils. Therefore, the decongestant therapy with curd compresses is of particular importance. In the case of tonsillitis, cold curd compresses are usually used.

Due to their cooling effect, they have an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. The reduction of swelling is additionally triggered by the ingredients of the quark. However, especially in the case of bacterial tonsillitis, the quark compresses should only be used as a supplement to medication (antibiotics).

Bronchitis is an infection of the respiratory tract in which inflammatory processes play a major role. Due to the inflammation in the respiratory tract, a lot of mucus is produced there, which has to be dissolved and coughed up. Although bronchitis is an inflammatory disease, warm quark compresses are usually helpful.

The lactic acid bacteria contained in curd cheese have an anti-inflammatory effect and also have a slight analgesic effect. Particularly in the case of diseases that affect the entire lung, the curd compresses can be applied to the chest over a large area. Sunburn occurs when the skin is damaged by too much or too long exposure to the sun.

As with other burns, skin cells perish. The affected areas are sensitive to touch and burn. Quark wraps are a suitable and gentle therapy here.

Most important is the cooling effect of the compresses. The quark also provides the burned and dry skin with a lot of moisture. Another advantage of the curd compresses is that they can be applied to small areas as well as large surfaces and above all as often as desired.

Bursa sacs are often found on joints, where they actually have a buffering effect and should protect the tissue. If overstressed, a bursa can quickly become inflamed, making the joint particularly sensitive. In addition, the bursa swells up when it becomes inflamed, so that movement is restricted in the joint.

This can be remedied with quark compresses. The very local inflammation can be treated by applying the compresses selectively. The most important thing is to inhibit the inflammation and the swelling caused by the curd compresses.

Paranasal sinus inflammation occurs in the context of colds, when part of the mucus settles in the sinuses. Depending on what affected persons find pleasant, cool or warm quark compresses can be used here. Due to its ingredients, the compresses have an expectorant and decongesting effect.

Cold curd compresses can have a pain-relieving effect, while warm compresses are more likely to relieve the pressure caused by the sinusitis in the head.In the case of superficial phlebitis, quark compresses are now fully established as an alternative therapy. Even in large clinics, the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effect of quark is appreciated. Cooling quark compresses can alleviate the superficial symptoms of inflammation.

However, the ingredients of the quark do not penetrate very deeply under the skin, which is why only superficial phlebitis benefits from the effect of the lactic acid bacteria and enzymes. An insect bite is particularly painful because the insect injects its saliva or poison into the skin when it bites. The body reacts to these animal proteins with a strong defensive reaction, resulting in inflammation and swelling at the site of the sting.

This inflammatory reaction can be counteracted with quark compresses. The lactic acid bacteria from the quark counteract the insect venom so that the body does not have to react so strongly. This can reduce the itching in case of an inflammation after an insect bite.

The pain and swelling also decrease. The application of curd wraps overnight is usually not recommended. After about 20 to 30 minutes the curd wrap has reached room temperature, so that it loses its cooling or warming effect.

In addition, the quark dries out overnight. As a result, even anti-inflammatory enzymes can no longer act. There is also the danger of smearing the bed linen with the quark from the quark wrap when going to bed. It is better to put on the quark wrap 30 minutes before and remove it at night.
