Health wraps - general information

  • 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 reception.
