Cooling oil is super versatile? Don't use it like that

Xiaobian suddenly saw a microblog about "cool oil" on the Internet these two days, saying that cool oil is "all-purpose oil"! Not only does it have the functions of cooling and dispelling heat, relieving itching and eliminating mosquitoes, but it also has wonderful effects on many diseases. It won't be used out!

Xiao Bian checked the data, only to find that most of them are! No Yes! Did you win?

Cool oil "cool", but no treatment!

Cool oil

If you look carefully at the instructions for the use of refreshing oil, you can see that refreshing oil is composed of menthol, mint oil, camphor oil, camphor, Eucalyptus oil, clove oil, cinnamon oil, ammonia water and so on. In order to facilitate smearing and become "plaster" texture, it also adds paraffin, wax, vaseline and other substances.

These ingredients are basically "mosquito repellent" and "insect repellent" ingredients, if there is a dizziness, headache, smell can also play a refreshing role.

But these ingredients really don't cure diseases... Believe it or not, you go on and watch it! uuuuuuuuuu

Burns, burns, a little cool oil soon good?

Cool oil

Most of the "cool oil wonderful use", which will mention that cool oil can treat burns, scalds, gently applied to the affected area, can alleviate pain, avoid blisters.

Here I would like to tell you very seriously that after burns and scalds, you should immediately rinse them with a large amount of cold water. How long can you rinse them? At least, you should keep rinsing for more than 10 minutes. If you can rinse them for more than half an hour, you should not use cool oil, toothpaste, soy sauce and other things that you think are useful. These things will stimulate and pollute the wounds instead!

After washing, look at the specific situation of the wound, if it is only red and small blisters, it does not matter, wait for a few days, blisters will disappear; and there are relatively large blisters, you can use syringes to suck out the blisters, do not cut off the skin of blisters; if the burn is too serious, immediately go to the hospital for treatment.

Anal redness and swelling, smear cool oil can go down?

Cool oil

Many articles on the Internet say that if you encounter a child with red and swollen anus, just apply a little cool oil directly, because the bitter and cool ingredients of cool oil have the function of "relieving the surface" and can detoxify and detumerate; even some articles say that applying cool oil near the anus can treat hemorrhoids and anal fistula...

However, let's take a look at the official instructions for the use of refreshing oils, which clearly indicate that refreshing oils are not allowed to be applied to the eyes, vulva and other skin and mucous membranes.

Skin and mucosa near the anus are particularly sensitive, but smearing menthol and menthol oil stimulates them. There should be no difference between applying cool oil near the anus and applying chili oil near the anus; besides, hemorrhoids are caused by varicose veins in the anus, which has nothing to do with the efficacy of cool oil...

Rheumatism, diarrhea, fox odor, sore throat... It can't be cured.

In addition to these "traumas", these articles also show that the "surface-relieving" effect of cool oil can penetrate through the skin into the five viscera and six organs: rheumatism? No fear, we can dispel wind! Diarrhea? No fear, we can solve the table! Sore throat? No fear, we cool and dispel fire!

But... Cooling oil is clearly written in the instructions. Cooling oil is used for cooling and cooling, refreshing, relieving itching and pain. In addition, it can also relieve headache, carsickness and mosquito bites caused by heat injury.

These effects are only due to the "cool" and "fragrance" of the refreshing oil, not because of anything else.

In addition, even if the main function of cool oil is to stop itching caused by mosquito bites, it is also because it is cool and can divert our attention from itching, rather than really eliminating mosquito bites. Mosquito bag is caused by histamine produced by our human body fighting against "mosquito saliva", which can only be eliminated by slowly metabolizing isoamines.

Cooling oil is not only "omnipotent", but also can not be used blindly!

Cooling oil is not so "omnipotent", here we summarize a few points for you to use cool oil.

1. Don't take it internally, for external use!

2. Do not use in skin lesions, mucous membranes, eyes, vulva, etc. If there is obvious discomfort after use, such as itching, swelling and burning sensation, stop using medicine immediately and wash it, and consult the doctor if necessary.

3. People with allergic constitution should use it carefully and children must use it under adult supervision.
