In the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry uses aluminium foil, which reflects infrared (heat) radiation. This property has provided food use aluminum foil during cooking in the oven and in the warehouse of products.
It is useful to know
High reflectance aluminium has found application in medicine, namely in the physiotherapeutic treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The technique of heat treatment is to apply the applications or packs of aluminium, that allows to reduce the production of heat and provide a deep heating. This is the property of a material widely used to prevent freezing.
But, as usual, the food metallic sheet can help with diseases of the joints? There is a theory according to which the therapeutic effect of aluminum explains the ability to reflect biotoki, the output of the energy meridians of our body. In case of violation, the biologically active points emit signals that are perceived as pain.
Foil reflects these biotoki again at the same point, responsible for energy potential of a diseased organ. This effect results in the phenomenon of bio-resonance beneficial on the cellular structures and restore the integrity of the energy field disorder, the disease.
Thanks to the protection biotokov and strengthen the interaction matrix with the cells of the epidermis, one observes an improvement in the state of the affected joints. It disappears the pain, reduces the severity of the inflammatory process, reduces swelling in the affected area, restores the joint mobility of the joints. By reducing the coefficient of heat transfer activates the processes of circulation and limfootoka, normalizes the nutrition of the cartilage and muscle tissue, accelerates metabolic processes, favoring the recovery of functions of the joint.
Treatment foil, stimulates regenerative and the processes of adaptation, activates the immune system, strengthens the body's defenses, which allows it to deal with a pathological process and accelerate recovery.

- if compress is used a cloth of gauze that is impregnated with the medicinal solution, between her and an aluminum layer are to be laid in duct tape, does not allow for corrosion of the metal surface.
Time limit to carry out the procedures linked to the fact that the metallic sheet in addition to the fact that does not let thermal radiation, and prevents the entrance of oxygen and the removal of the poto-fat secretions. Accordingly, under the bandage creates a greenhouse effect that causes irritation of the skin and creates an ideal environment for the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms.
