How to make a 10 percent saline solution? Amazing healing properties of salt. Salt treatment
We take salt for granted as a necessary seasoning for dishes. Meanwhile, this important in cooking substance is a healer, a magical defender and assistant in the household.
For treatment salt is more often used in a dissolved form. The methods have a number of nuances, which must be known. For example, how to make a 10 percent saline solution, if there are no chemical measuring spoons and beakers at home? How much salt and water should I take? Let's consider simple variants of preparation of medical solutions.
What kind of salt is needed to make a medicine?
Before you prepare 10% saline, you need to carefully study the recipe. What substance is mentioned in it? If table salt, then suitable packaging, which indicated:
- Cooking salt;
- sodium chloride;
- Edible salt;
- rock salt.
If you evaporate sea water, you get sea salt, which contains sodium, magnesium, iodine, chloride, sulfate ions and other components. The properties of such a mixture are somewhat different from individual substances. Usually, for treatment of wounds, sore throat, teeth, 1-10% saline sodium chloride solution is prepared. The chemical formula of the compound, which has amazing properties, is NaCl.
What should be the degree of purity of the components?
How to make a 10-percent saline solution at home, so that the medicine is beneficial, and not harmful to the body? Salt should also be as pure as possible, but purchased in the store "Stone" is often contaminated with impurities. There is a more pure product of fine grinding.
In some recipes it is recommended to use snow or rain water, but this is an unfortunate idea from the point of view of modern ecology. The purity of the liquid that flows in the systems of domestic and drinking water supply, also causes many complaints. It, like snow and rain, can be contaminated with chlorine, iron, phenol, oil products, nitrates. We will clarify that distilled or demineralized water is used as a solvent in medicine. Houses for the preparation of the solution can be filtered or boiled water.
If you put plastic molds with water in the freezer, then at first pure water will freeze, and impurities will accumulate on the bottom. Without waiting for complete freezing, we must collect ice from the surface and melt. Get very clean and healthy water.
How to measure the mass of salt and the volume of water for the preparation of the solution?
All necessary must be collected in advance, before making a 10 percent saline solution. You will need water, a beaker, a bag of salt, a scales, a glass and a spoon (a dining room, a dessert or a tea-tray) for work. The photo below will help to determine the mass of salt, which is contained in a dessert and a teaspoonful.
What does the expression "10 percent solution" mean?
Concentration of substances is usually expressed in several ways. Most often in medicine and life such a value is used, as weight percent. It shows how many grams of the substance is contained in 100 g of the solution. For example, if the prescription says that 10% saline is applied, then every 100 g of such a preparation contains 10 g of dissolved substance.
Suppose you need to prepare 200 grams of a 10% solution of salt. We will carry out simple calculations that do not take much time:
100 g of the solution contains 10 g of the substance; In 200 g of solution contains x g of substance.
X = 200 g x 10 g: 100 g = 20 g (salt).
200 g - 20 g = 180 g (water).
180 g x 1 g / ml = 180 ml (water).
How to prepare 10% saline?
If the house has a scale and a beaker, then it is better to measure the salt and water volume with their help. Collect a teaspoon "with a top" and pour a glass of water to the risks, too, you can, but such measurements sin inaccuracies.
How to make a 10-percent saline solution to get 100 g of the drug? It should be weighed 10 grams of solid sodium chloride, pour 90 ml of water into a glass and pour salt into the water, stirring with a spoon until dissolved. Mix the salt with warm water or cold, and then the dishes with the components are heated. For a better purification, the finished solution is passed through a wad of cotton wool (filtered).
Prepare 50 grams of a 10% solution from 45 ml of water and 5 g of salt. The hypertonic salt solution is made from 1 liter of water and 100 g of sodium chloride (4 tablespoons "without top").
Treatment with 10% saline
In medicine, a 0.9% solution of salts is prepared on fresh distilled water, which is called "physiological". This fluid is isotonic with respect to the internal environment of the human body (has the same concentration). It is used in various medical procedures, in particular as a blood substitute, to eliminate the effects of dehydration and intoxication.
A hypertonic solution contains more salt, when it comes in contact with an isotonic or hypotonic liquid, it attracts water until the concentrations equalize. This osmotic effect is used in folk recipes to purify wounds from pus. Salt has antiseptic, antimicrobial properties, its hypertensive solutions are used in alternative medicine:
- With diseases of internal organs - in the form of a saline bandage on the focus of pain;
- As lotions, compresses and applications for skin and other infections;
- As salt baths with fatigue and pain in the hands and feet;
- For the purification of purulent wounds.
Treatment with hypertonic 10% saline will take time, it can take several days or weeks. The minimum number of procedures is 4-7. With pain in the throat, 3-5% hypertonic rinse solution is used in the morning and evening. The nasal cavity is washed with an isotonic solution. For its preparation, add in 237 ml of water of boiled water, 1.2 g of sodium chloride and 2.5 g of baking soda.
