The wrap can be used both warm and cold. The cold wrap is useful in treating ailments such as:

The warm pads are a bit more elaborate to make, but especially popular with children. A bodywarm wrap has proven to be a home remedy for:

A wrap can be made quickly and easily by yourself. The ingredients are often already in the household. For a quark edition you need:
Make a chilling quark roll
The quark should not be too cold, so do not use it directly from the fridge. The best temperature is around 18 degrees Celsius. To make the wrap, simply spread the quark on the desired surface about half a centimeter thick. Then fold the cloth once so that the quark is inside the cloth. Now the cloth can be placed on the area to be treated. With a gauze bandage or a scarf, the wrap can be fixed and thus protected against slipping. Because the quark contains a lot of moisture when applied to delicate furniture should be placed a suitable pad such as, for example, a large bath towel to avoid stains.
For acute inflammation, the duration of treatment should not exceed 15 to 20 minutes. For other complaints, the quark wrap may linger on the spot until it starts to dry.

In general, the same procedure applies as with a cooling quark wrap. The only difference is that the quark needs to be heated slightly before use. This can be seen, for example, by placing the quark in an inverted pot lid and placing it on a pot of hot water. The steam heats the quark to the desired temperature. Make sure that the quark does not get too hot. The temperature of the quark should not be higher than your own body temperature during use.
Use for cough and bronchitis
Quark wrap is a natural home remedy for cough and bronchitis. The warm quark topping is placed on the broth and left there for at least 30 minutes or until the quark begins to dry. Then dry the affected area well. After use, cover with warm water and rest for 15 minutes. This process should be repeated once a day as long as the symptoms persist.
Use for sore throat and hoarseness
The wraps are also an effective home remedy for sore throats and hoarseness. Simply put the warm quark wrap around your neck. It should be ensured that the region above the cervical spine is released. For most people, this is about the area where the hairline starts. For acute inflammations in the neck area, the wrap should be removed after a maximum of 20 minutes. Otherwise, the wrap may linger on the neck until the curd begins to dry. This process can be repeated one to several times a day.
Use in case of fever, sunburn and bruises
The cooling wrap has a decongestant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic. The overlay is heated by the body's own temperature and the liquid of the quark begins to evaporate. This process creates a pleasant cold on the skin. Quark wraps are therefore particularly well suited for discomfort that benefits from cooling, such as sunburn.
If there is a bruise or sprain, a quark overlay has a pleasantly cooling, analgesic and decongestant effect. (Image: everythingpossible / fotolia.com) Even with bruises and sprains, the cooling effect is helpful. Here, several applications can be carried out immediately one after the other, with a new winding being applied as soon as the cooling effect subsides. In most cases, the swelling and redness is significantly reduced by the use of the wrap after a few days of treatment.
Danger: Although the Quark wrap is suitable as a home remedy for fever, but it is important to ensure that the wrap may not be used in certain situations. This applies to the application of people who have cold hands and feet despite fever, suffer from chills or generally freeze. If sufferers suffer from acute urinary tract infections or arterial circulatory disorders, should also be dispensed with a cold wrap.
Quark wrap for nursing mothers
Another use of Quark wrap in mothers are typical complaints that are caused by breastfeeding a child, such as the chest infection (mastitis), painful nipples, congestion or hardening of the chest. By using the wrap, the chest pain and inflammation can often be alleviated significantly. The wraps are placed while lying on the chest.
The treatment can also be solved small nodules in the chest, which have formed in the course of a milk congestion. The wrap should remain on the chest for about 15 minutes to develop its healing properties. The mothers do not have to worry about possible impairments of the child, because the ingredients of the quark are purely natural.

Side effects usually do not occur. In some cases, a quark wrap should not be used. This is especially important for open wounds. The quark dries on the affected areas and is difficult to remove, which can have a negative effect on wound healing. Even with fever, acute urinary tract infections or arterial circulatory disorders, as described above, caution is required.
How does the cottage cheese work??
The anti-inflammatory effect is due to the ingredients of the quark as the protein casein. The cooling effect is achieved mainly by the evaporation of the liquid contained.
Quark wrappers have proven themselves not only as home remedies but also in some modern rehabilitation clinics. The cooling effect of the coil is one of the most common alternative treatment methods for inflammation of the superficial veins (thrombophlebitis).
The story of the wrap
Although the ancient Egyptians used Nile mud packs, the famous Greek physician Hippocrates used envelopes and medicinal herb wraps. In the modern medicine of the 19th century, however, the wrap was rediscovered only by the work of Vincenz Prießnitz and Sebastian Kneipp. These used the wrap as an integral part of hydrotherapy, which is still used today as a natural healing process. Also Rudolf Steiner helped in the twentieth century the reels to new fame. Overall, wraps, envelopes and wraps are an old proven healing method that has been used by humanity for many thousands of years. (Vb)
