Reviews
The use of cough fat is extremely common, and not only in our country, but also in China, Tibet and other parts of the world. The most often natural product is used to treat cough for colds, bronchitis, pneumonia. Patients who regularly treat themselves and their loved ones with natural fats warn: in order to get the necessary healing effect, the product must be rubbed into the skin, and not just spread. It is good if the procedure is carried out by a man, because strong hands are necessary for high-quality rubbing. Proper rubbing causes the blood to flow to the skin, so that the fat is absorbed completely, exerting its therapeutic effect. As for the treatment of children, it is necessary to rub them with high quality, but you shouldn’t overdo it either: baby’s skin is gentle, so the procedure should be neat and gentle. Newborn children do not receive such treatment. The optimal age for applying this type of treatment is not less than one year. The use of fat inside is allowed only with five years.
Cough fat is a good alternative to expensive drugs with a lot of side effects. However, there is one problem: where to get a really high-quality product? Most often, fat is acquired from hunters, from farmers, or even in pharmacies. It is dangerous to buy the product from the hands of unknown people: you can face a fake and harm your health.
