Vodka does not have any special medicinal properties.

Rubbing with vodka is prohibited, especially for children, whose skin is very delicate.

Therapist and immunologist Irina Yartseva stated this in an interview with Radio 1 .

She stressed that in this case it is better to use ordinary water.

The doctor said that previously there was no warming ointment, and people used warming compresses on injuries and throats.

However, rubbing with vodka is a dangerous procedure that can lead to burns.

As a result of rubbing down with vodka, which seems harmless at first glance, the skin’s balance is disrupted.

The doctor warned that vodka critically disrupts the natural bacterial layer.

As a result of the loss of natural flora, the skin becomes dry and a burn may form.

Yartseva advises using safer methods for wiping, which will eliminate the risk of side effects.
