About calming pain

You already know what the causes of pain are, and you know that they come down to two types: a sudden change in nature and a break in continuity. Then you know that the final determination of the causes of pain leads to the disorder of the hot, cold or dry nature without the formation of matter or with the matter of chyme or with wind or swelling.

Pain relief is therefore achieved by combating these causes. You already know the way to deal with each of these causes - what it is - and you know about the disorder of nature, tumor and wind - what they are and how to treat them.

Any pain, if it intensifies, kills. First, it causes coldness in the body and trembling, then the pulse decreases, then disappears, and the person dies. Everything that relieves pain either changes nature, or dissolves matter, or causes numbness. Numbness eliminates pain because it destroys the sensitivity of a given organ, and it destroys sensitivity for one of two reasons: either due to excessive cooling, or because of its toxicity, which opposes the strength of the organ.

Disintegrating drugs refer to drugs that gradually disperse pain; such, for example, are flaxseed, dill, sweet clover, chamomile, celery seeds, bitter almonds, as well as any remedy that is hot by nature in the first degree of action, especially when there is something enveloping, such as plum, starch, tin and white lead, saffron, incense, medicinal marshmallow, amom, cabbage, rapeseed and a decoction of them, as well as fats, fresh hyssop and oils of the mentioned plants; laxatives and laxatives, whatever they may be, belong to the class of painkillers.

Loosening agents should be used after emptying, if there is a need for emptying, so that the flow of matter to this organ stops. Painkillers also include anything that promotes the maturation of tumors or their opening.

Of the drugs that cause numbness, the most powerful is opium. These also include mandrake, its seeds, peel and root, various types of poppies, black henbane and cold water.

Mistakes often occur regarding the causes of pain, and its causes turn out to be related to external things, such as heat, cold, bad pillows, bad bed, and falling due to intoxication or other causes. The source of this pain is sought in the body, and they are mistaken. Therefore, you should find out about these circumstances. You should also find out whether there is an overflow or not and whether there are known causes of overflow.

Sometimes it also happens that the cause comes from outside and settles inside, as for example when someone drinks cold water and has severe pain in the stomach and liver. Often this does not require strong means, such as bowel movements and the like: a bath and deep sleep are often sufficient. Or, for example, if a person ate something hot and it caused a severe headache, then it is enough to drink chilled water.

Sometimes the remedy from which you expect the pain to cease acts either slowly, so that the pain cannot be endured until this time - such, for example, as emptying from the matter that causes pain in the case of kulanja, which is locked in the fibers of the intestines, or it acts quickly, but poses a great danger .

This happens, for example, if you numb the organ that experiences pain during kulanj with the help of drugs that usually produce such an effect; this confuses the user, and he must have strong insight in order to figure out what will last longer - the time of preservation of the patient’s strength or the time of pain, and also - which of the two circumstances is more harmful - the sensation of pain or the danger expected from numbness, and choose that method first treatment, which is more correct. Sometimes pain, if it remains, kills with its strength and sharpness, but numbness sometimes does not kill, although it harms in other ways, and you may be able to correct this harm with persistent and correct treatment. But at the same time, the doctor should take into account the composition of the anesthetic and its quality and use the easiest remedy, using compound drugs, along with their antidotes. .This should not be done if the situation is very dangerous and severe numbness is required. Often, some organs do not react negatively to the application of painkillers to them, so this does not lead to much harm, such as teeth, if you apply an anesthetic to them.

Often in such cases it is useful to drink a painkiller: for example, they drink a painkiller drink because of pain in the eyes - this is less harmful to the eyes than if they are lubricated with such a remedy - and sometimes it turns out to be easy to correct the harm from drinking these medications. caused by another organ. But, as for, for example, kulanj, then the danger from painkillers is great, since the matter becomes colder and hardens and is more locked up.

Painkillers soothe pain by putting the patient to sleep, for sleep is one of the reasons that relieves pain, especially if fasting is used along with it for pain arising from matter.

Complex painkillers, the effect of which is weakened by other drugs that act as an antidote to them, are safer. These are, for example, filunia or, for example, lozenges called three-component, but they provide less pain relief.

Fresh three-part ones cause a stronger numbness, old ones cause almost no numbness, and the middle ones have an average effect.

Sometimes the pain is very severe, but sometimes it is easily curable. Such are, for example, pain from the winds; Sometimes, to calm them down, it is enough to pour hot water on the sore spot. However, there is one danger in this, namely that the cause of such pain is often a tumor, and doctors think that it is the wind, and if in this case hot water is used, especially at the beginning of the period of disappearance of the tumor, then the harm becomes significant. In addition, this method of treatment is often harmful for wind pain, namely, when water is powerless to disperse the winds and increases the expansion of their volume.

Poultice is also one of the ways to treat winds. It is best to use something light, for example, millet, but not on an organ that does not tolerate it, such as the eye. Apply a poultice to the eye with a rag.

Poultices also include hot oil lotions. Here is one of the strong poultices: you need to boil bean flour with vinegar, dry it and make a poultice. It turns out worse if you cook the bran this way.

Salt is hot when used as a poultice, but millet is better than salt and has a weaker effect.

Sometimes the poultice is made with hot water in the animal's bladder; it is a safe, mild poultice, but sometimes produces the effects mentioned above if care is not taken.

Fire cups are among the painkillers. It is a powerful remedy for soothing pain from winds. If you repeat their use, they completely eliminate the pain, but sometimes cupping does the same thing that happens with leavening agents.

Among the remedies that soothe pain is slow, long walking, as it has a softening effect on the juices. These are also the well-known delicate fats and oils that we mentioned, good singing, especially if it puts you to sleep. Distracting your thoughts with something joyful is a powerful way to calm pain.
