General facts
- Wraps are external applications
- They are mediators of healing processes through the skin and include the whole human being
- They support other remedies/medicines
- Wraps require rest and time
- The environment should be warm and comfortable
- An after-rest of 30min is important
- Attention to the child is an important step in the healing process
- Children are very sensitive to smells and temperatures, so always dose carefully
- For neurodermatitis patients it is recommended to use silk instead of wool or linen for the wraps
- Do not use essential oils on infants and use only lightly tempered compresses
- Essential oils should always be emulsified or diluted (e.g. with olive oil)
- Warm compresses should always be wrapped well and warmly - as soon as they cool down, they are taken away or renewed
- Cold wraps should only be fastened and left open - as soon as they become warm, they can be taken away
The wrap set for neck and ear wraps can be purchased at our practice in the Youkidoc store at the reception.
