Practical work: paradoxical respiratory exercise by A.Strelnikova’s method:
Take a quick, short breath through your nose, thinking of the breath
Exhale spontaneously through your mouth, not thinking of it
Repeat with the following tempo: 2-4-8-16-24-32
Do it easily, without particular effort
Practical work: preparation of white turpentine bath
2 liters of white emulsion consist of the following ingredients:
Distilled water - 1100 ml.
Salicylic acid – 3 gr.
Baby soap – 30 gr.
Turpentine oil (GOST 1571) – 1000 ml.
Method of preparation: Add salicylic acid to distilled water and boil it in an enameled vessel. As soon as water boils and acid dissolved, reduce stove temperature and add grated soap. Stir it with a wooden spoon until all ingredients completely dissolved. Take the vessel off the stove and add turpentine. Thoroughly stirring emulsion, bottle it in dark glass bottles and plug up tightly. Put some poly on top of the plug. Keep under room temperature in a dark place.
Practical work: preparation of yellow turpentine bath
3 liters of yellow emulsion consist of the following ingredients:
Distilled water - 400 ml.
Castor oil - 600 ml.
Caustic soda (granules) – 40 gr
Oleic acid – 450 ml.
Turpentine oil (GOST 1571) – 1500 ml.
Method of preparation: Yellow emulsion should be cooked only in water bath, carefully watched so that level of water in the water bath would be always higher then level of emulsion in a vessel. There in the process of cooking you should add some hot water in the water bath to maintain required level of water. Pour castor oil in the vessel and put in a water bath – for example, a bucket – with cold water. Fix you vessel tightly to the bucket. Put bucket on the stove and boil the water. While water is getting boiled, prepare caustic soda solution. For that take a glass retort, pour distilled water in it and slowly rotating water in the retort add caustic soda granules. Shake the retort till soda is fully dissolved, do it under running cold water otherwise the retort can crack of overheating. As soon as water bath is boiling, add cooled caustic soda solution with a thin stream to castor oil, stirring it with a wooden spoon. Bring the solution to thickening, then add oleic acid. Constantly stirring and keeping on water bath wait till you see the solution became clear as vegetable oil. Took the vessel from water bath and add turpentine. Thoroughly stirring emulsion, bottle it in dark glass bottles and plug up tightly. Put some poly on top of the plug. Keep under room temperature in a dark place.
Practical work: turpentine bath taking
Get your bathtub a little bit more then half-full with water of 37°C. Put 1 tablespoon of turpentine emulsion into 3-litter enameled pot. Add hot water to the pot and pour out to the bathtub from your full height. Scooping up water from the bathtub with the pot pour it back from your full height. Repeat it 10 – 12 times. Before going in the bathtub open a hot water tap for a not big stream of water running in your bath. As you are in the bathtub stir water with your legs, putting them together and apart. Wait until you have sweat on your forehead, above your lip or follow the temperature regime:
White turpentine bath: from 37°C up to 39°C during 10 minutes
Yellow turpentine bath: from 37°C up to 42°C during 10 - 12 minutes
