Effective Folk Ointments for Treating Lupus

Birch Bud Ointment: For centuries, folk medicine has used birch buds to create healing ointments that help with various joint diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and gout. To prepare this ointment, you need to grind 1 cup of birch buds into a powder (or you can mash fresh buds into a paste) and mix it with 0.5 kg of quality lard. Then, place the mixture in a clay pot and simmer in the oven for 3 hours daily for a week. If you don't have an oven, you can use a water bath for slow simmering. Once the process is completed, strain the fat and store it in glass jars, discarding the leftover raw material.

This ointment is intended for external use in various inflammatory processes, eczema, and other skin diseases. In the case of tuberculosis, it is recommended to take a teaspoon of the ointment dissolved in 50 ml of warm milk (at a temperature of 45-50°C) three times a day before meals. The ointment is also effective against lupus, especially when applied externally to lupus ulcers. It helps with nodular erythema, vasculitis, dermatoses, dermatomyositis, bedsores, varicose ulcers, and various types of ringworm.

Tarragon-Based Ointment: To prepare this ointment, melt the lard in a water bath, then add dried tarragon in a ratio of 1:5 (1 part tarragon to 5 parts fat). Simmer the mixture in the oven for 5 to 6 hours, then strain and store it in the refrigerator. It is recommended to apply the ointment to the affected skin areas three times a day for 2-3 months.
