The hypothesis that the iodine network can tell something about iodine deficiency in the body or help cope with it is a myth that arose about 20-30 years ago, endocrinologist Yulia from the European Medical Center (EMC) told socialbites.ca Kathuriya.
“Of course, when an iodine net is applied some of the substance is absorbed. However, it is impossible to calculate how much iodine enters the body when iodine is applied to the skin. It is also important in what form the iodine will be – an alcohol solution or ointment, what is the coverage area, what is the temperature of the air and skin surface. All of these can affect absorption and it is very difficult to take them all into account,” Kathuria explained.
He says you can use iodized salt instead of iodine mesh. This is a more effective way to eliminate the deficiency of substances in the body.
“Salt consumption is universal: The vast majority of people salt their food. Iodization of salt is carried out according to the following ratio: 1 gram of iodized salt contains 40 mcg of iodine. According to the daily norm, it is recommended to consume about 5 grams of salt per day, that is, in this case, the person will receive the necessary 200 mcg of iodine,” said the endocrinologist.
Iodine mesh is also often used for colds accompanied by a runny nose and cough, diseases of the reproductive organs in women and men, problems with blood vessels, diseases of a neurological nature and others.
It is generally accepted that the mesh helps cleanse the blood, dilate blood vessels, reduce swelling and inflammation. However, the effectiveness of this treatment has not been proven.
