Alcohol tincture can be considered a universal medicinal product, which is stored for a long time and is suitable for both internal and external use. For example, the use of ant alcohol helps with radiculitis and arthrosis, and is also successfully practiced in cosmetology. Which of the valuable properties of this medication have gone unnoticed?
Use of formic alcohol inside
On the question of whether it is possible to drink ant alcohol, most doctors will give a negative answer. Meanwhile, there are many popular recipes in which this remedy is suggested to be used orally. Who is right? In the formic acid ethylene (98.5%) and formic acid (1.5%). Neither substance is dangerous for humans unless they have allergies to it. Therefore, technically pure ant alcohol can be drunk. But is it necessary? Traditional healers believe that amino acids and formic acid have a toning effect on man and are capable of giving him energy and the power of ants. But doctors say that nothing but exacerbation of heartburn, gastritis, and even ulcers you with this tool will not achieve. It is much more logical to use ant alcohol for its intended purpose.
Why do I need an ant alcohol?
Official medicine uses a combination of ethyl alcohol with a small percentage of formic acid as an irritant in such diseases:
- neuralgic spasms, convulsions;
- stretching of muscles and joints;
- arthritis and arthrosis;
- rheumatic pains.
Treatment with formic alcohol helps to increase blood circulation in the affected area, reduce pain and start the regeneration process. To do this, apply a small amount of alcohol to the skin (for wounds, abrasions and cuts, it is better to choose another remedy, since the acid can cause burning) and rub it. After that, it is good to wrap a smeared place, or apply a warming compress.
In cosmetology this remedy is used in the fight against acne and teenage fat content of the skin. Ant alcohol from acne is used according to the following scheme:
- On the unpurified skin in the morning, apply a small amount of ant alcohol, diluted with boiled water in a proportion of one to one.
- Wash yourself with water using soap, or your usual cleanser.
- Apply a moisturizer to the skin with a sunscreen.
- Repeat the procedure in the evening, replacing the sunscreen with nutrient.
Such treatment should be applied no longer than 2-3 weeks, after which it is necessary to take a long break, so that the skin is restored. Formic alcohol has disinfecting properties, fights inflammation and damps already existing rashes. However, prolonged use can make the skin too dry.
Formic alcohol for hair removal
Some time ago, many recipes for removing unwanted hair on the body with the help of formic alcohol appeared. In different versions, this component included such components:
- formic alcohol;
- ammonia;
- alcohol tincture of iodine;
- camphor alcohol;
- Castor oil;

We disappoint you: none of these components will not get rid of the vegetation on the body. The maximum that such a tool can give is lightening and thinning of hair. And then, only with regular use. But with the hair will suffer and the skin, which is very easy to injure these aggressive components. Remember, forever from hair can save only laser, photo and electro-epilation . No ointment and tincture is able to destroy the hair follicle.
