Yeast contains many B vitamins that are important for the nerves. If the sciatic nerve is pinched and causes pain, high-dose vitamin B preparations are often prescribed.

 

However, vitamin B can also significantly relieve acute pain externally and accelerate healing.

A yeast bath supports the treatment and provides relief for acute pain and restricted movement. For the yeast bath, the bathtub is filled with water at 40 to 45 degrees. Stir 1.5 kg of sugar and 8 litres of fresh brewer's yeast or 3/4 kg of baker's yeast into the hot water. The sugar is necessary to let the yeast ferment.

Fermentation starts slowly, so the bath water must be left to stand for about 45 minutes. After that, the liquid is in strong fermentation and the water temperature should be about 35 degrees. One should spend 20 minutes in the yeast bath. Then rinse off the yeast residues with warm water.

 

The yeast bath not only helps against sciatic pain, but also stimulates the metabolism and relieves arthritis and rheumatic complaints.
