There are basic recipes for taking tar orally: with bread, apple, milk, with sugar or honey.
The most common recipe is with bread
At night before going to bed, take a piece of bread (either black or white). We drop 5 drops of tar on it and without washing it down, chew it thoroughly and go to bed. The next evening, add another drop (it turns out to be 6 drops) and so +1 drop every evening, bringing up to 10 drops. We keep it at 10 drops for two weeks (14 days), and then, on the contrary, reduce it by one drop every evening, bringing it back to 5 drops. The total course is 24 days. The expected effect of improvement begins already from half the course. Namely: 100% pure and velvety skin. In addition, toxins will come out, sweating, joint disease (if any) will go away, and you will forget about constipation.
You can do everything the same, but instead of bread use apples, honey or sugar. Some write that the effect of honey is supposedly better for treating Giardia. And peeling with an apple is sometimes used as a follow-up to cleansing with bread (as if with an apple it flies faster through the body and almost immediately into the intestines).
This scheme is sometimes used with milk
Drink in the morning on an empty stomach, diluting it in 50 ml of milk according to the following scheme:
1 week 1 drop
2 week 2 drops
3 week 3 drops
and so on for up to 10 weeks, adding a drop of tar every week

They say that a fly in the ointment can ruin a barrel of honey. But at the same time, this very fly in the ointment turns out to be very effective in treating a number of diseases, in cooking cosmetics and in everyday household trifles. Since ancient times, our glorious Ancestors have used tar in everyday life. And in European countries where this product was exported, it was sometimes called “Russian oil.”
In the old days, the tar craft was held in high esteem. Initially, when medicinal properties had not yet been discovered, tar was used as a technical material (to lubricate the bushings of wooden wheels, to give water-repellent properties to leather or fabric, etc.). The masters of tar extraction were called “tars” and each of them had their own secrets that were passed down from generation to generation. Currently, the profession of “tar” does not exist as such, and you can purchase the drug “medical tar” in a pharmacy chain or make it yourself.
What is tar?
Tar is a dark, resinous liquid product obtained by dry distillation of wood, peat or coal. By appearance tar is a thick, oily, non-sticky liquid of black color, with a bluish-greenish or greenish-blue tint in reflected light, with a specific mild odor and pungent taste. Dissolves in alkalis and alcohol. It is lighter than water and therefore does not dissolve well in it.
Contains benzene, xylene, creosol, toulol, guaiacol, phenol, resins and other substances.
Phenols and cresols themselves are very aggressive substances, both chemically and in their mode of action on living organisms. Phenols are used for sanitary treatment and disinfection of premises and technical equipment. IN pure form tar components have a strong irritating effect and, when applied to the skin, cause chemical burn. In therapeutic doses, tar preparations stimulate work various organs and body systems through reflex irritation skin receptors and nerve endings. Thus, when considering aspects of “tar therapy” for internal use, the complex effect of all components that make up tar is implied. When using tar externally, the main emphasis is on its antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.
The most commonly used vegetable tar is birch tar, which is prepared from birch wood - it is a product of dry distillation of birch bark or the resinous outer part of birch bark.
Other tars plant origin obtained from pine, aspen, beech, juniper, etc. wood. They are similar in their pharmacological and other properties.
In Rus', several types of tar were distinguished:

- Tar distillation (half), wind resin, rug, half, shushmin - a mixture of pine resin with birch bark tar. Color: black with a slight greenish tint, contains large number creosote. It was used very widely for wheel lubrication and during construction.
- Kolenitsa, or kneeling, is the last pasture from the remnants, a bad and dirty kind of tar.
- Smolyo is bad birch tar, the remains of distillation, with an admixture of resin (pine, spruce).
- Wheel tar is a mixture of pure birch tar and pine resin.
- Steam tar - cauldron, is obtained by distilling birch bark in cauldrons and cooling the steam in a cooler.
- Pit tar of the first current is pure tar.
- Korchazhny tar is black, of the lowest grade.
- Resin-tar - obtained from a mixture of pine and birch blocks.
- And others.

Tar - an alternative to expensive cosmetics
Birch tar is an inexpensive analogue of expensive cosmetics.
Tar has been used in skin and hair care for centuries. Traditional medicine has long studied it unique properties. Today, preparations such as tar soap and tar shampoo are extremely popular.
The main advantage of cosmetic tar products is that they normalize the activity of the sebaceous glands, which allows you to get rid of excess sebum. The shampoo dries the scalp and eliminates dandruff, while eliminating oily shine from the hair. And the antiseptic properties make tar soap a very effective remedy in the fight against acne and various skin rashes. By washing your face with it daily, you can leave your skin much clearer and smoother.
Tar cosmetics also stimulate the process of exfoliation of dead skin cells. This cleanses the surface of the skin, allowing it to breathe, which prevents premature hair contamination and the appearance of blackheads on the face.
One more thing useful property tar is that its use increases blood flow to the surface of the skin and improves blood supply. It's playing important role in the process of cell regeneration. Thanks to this, the speedy healing of certain skin damage occurs: burns, cuts, acne scars. Blood nourishes the hair follicles, which stimulates their growth and improves their structure.
We bring to your attention several recipes for tar-based cosmetics that can be prepared at home:
- Cleansing lotion for problem skin.
The effect of this lotion is pronounced and requires careful handling. To prepare the lotion you will need 50 grams of 95% alcohol, 5 grams of tar (a little less than a teaspoon) and a few drops of salicylic alcohol. The components are mixed together. The skin is treated with lotion daily, after the basic cleansing procedure.
- Cleansing mask for problem skin of any type.
This mask recipe is based on honey and its bactericidal and nutritional properties. Honey and tar are mixed in a ratio of 3:1. For dry but problematic skin, you can add 1 teaspoon to the mask. olive oil. The prepared product is applied to the skin in a thin layer. Wash off with water at room temperature.
- Mask for hair growth using tar.
In 2 tablespoons burdock oil dissolve 5-7 drops of tar. Add a few drops to the resulting mass oil solution vitamin A. The mixture is rubbed into the roots of the hair and distributed throughout the entire length. The head is wrapped in plastic film. Wash off after 20-30 minutes with shampoo.
To beat back faster bad smell, possibly partially remaining on the hair, wash the head with shampoo adding 2-3 drops of pine essential oil.
- Masks against dandruff and itching of the scalp (for oily hair).
1 tablespoon of tar is dissolved in 2 tablespoons of castor oil. The resulting mass is mixed with 100 grams of alcohol. The mask is applied to the roots of the hair, rubbing massage movements medium strength. After 2-3 hours, wash your hair.
- Mask for baldness and increased hair loss.
2.5 tsp castor oil is mixed with 2.5 tsp. calendula tincture and add 1 tbsp. tar.
Mix all ingredients until smooth. Apply the mixture to areas of baldness or to the hair roots. Leave for 2-3 hours and then rinse thoroughly with water. Use the product every six months in courses of 2 months.
All tar-based masks used for prevention are thoroughly washed off twice with shampoo; add 2 tablespoons of 9% vinegar to the rinse water.
When using tar in cosmetology practice, it is taken into account that the natural product has practically no side effects and does not injure healthy areas of the skin.
It should be remembered that prolonged and uncontrolled use of tar can cause skin irritation or dermatitis. Individual intolerance to the product is also possible.
Tar cosmetics are not suitable for people with dry skin because they have a drying effect. It is better to use products with added tar not constantly, but in courses. Usually the course lasts 4-8 weeks, after which you should take a break of 1-2 months.
Making birch tar yourself
Birch tar can be bought ready-made at a pharmacy or you can make it yourself.
First you need to collect and prepare birch bark. To do this, we make a neat cut in the top layer of birch bark, without penetrating the blade deep into the wood, so as not to injure the tree.
How more bark collect, the more birch tar you get, just try not to remove too much bark from one tree, otherwise it may die. Birch bark needs to be taken fresh; overdried birch bark burns out quickly and most likely there will be nothing left in the jar except ash. It is difficult to say how much birch bark will be needed, but we can say for sure that for a significant amount of tar it will need to be burned quite a bit. Then we place the rolled birch bark in a metal bucket or jar, such as canned food or coffee, making a small hole in the center of the bottom. You can also put a fine metal mesh on the bottom (the mesh should be really very fine) so that the ash from the burnt birch bark does not fall into the lower jar.
Next, you need to bury the same jar in sand or soil, but slightly smaller in size. Its bottom should be intact, there is no need to make holes! This second jar will be the container for collecting birch tar. A jar of birch bark is placed on top.
When the birch bark burns out, you can put out the fire, or wait until it goes out on its own and remove the container buried in the ground or sand. The resulting birch tar will flow from the top jar through the holes made into the bottom one.
The tar is ready for use.
The shelf life of birch tar is unlimited. It should be stored away from food and in tightly packed containers, otherwise the smell of tar may permeate all surrounding foods and things.

Now we would like to tell you about another wonderful medicine obtained from birch bark - birch tar, the use of which for medical purposes is also widespread and effective.
Tar is obtained by dry distillation of birch bark. Considering that doing the distillation yourself is quite labor-intensive, it is easier to buy tar at the pharmacy. It is a dark and oily viscous liquid with a very complex chemical composition(phytoncides, xylene, toluene, phenol, organic acids - these are far from full list tar components), which, among other things, has a very pungent and unpleasant odor. By the way, most likely, in the proverb about a barrel of honey and a fly in the ointment, it was about the smell, and not about the color or taste of this additive.
By the way, in fairness it is worth mentioning that tar can be made not only from birch bark, but also from juniper, pine and beech.
Birch tar. Medicinal properties
Before the rapid development of the chemical industry, tar was very actively used in completely different areas life of the peoples inhabiting Russia. They even say that Europeans called tar “Russian oil.” It was used as a lubricant for rubbing parts of various designs and for processing leather products - as a result, they did not allow moisture to pass through, remained soft and comfortable.
But skin is skin, and health is more important - the use of birch tar for medicinal purposes has always been a priority. The list of diseases for which healers used this wonderful remedy is quite large:
- various skin diseases - both ordinary (scabies, skin rashes, lichen, scrofula, seborrhea, eczema, psoriasis, pyoderma, neurodermatitis, etc.) and those of an allergic nature, for example, diathesis. It is not for nothing that tar soap and various medicines for skin diseases that contain tar are extremely popular in our time;
- fungal diseases;
- diseases of the throat, lungs and respiratory tract (cough, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, tuberculosis and even lung cancer);
- catarrhal cystitis;
- mastopathy;
- haemorrhoids;
- joint diseases.
But that’s not all - birch tar can be used as an antiseptic, used to protect wounds and burns from rotting. In this case, it will also speed up regeneration processes, improve blood circulation and rejuvenate the skin. Like, tar can be used as an anthelmintic.
All these are wonderful healing properties Today they are less in demand - the development of pharmacology has greatly changed our lives. Nowadays, tar is included in various medicinal and cosmetic products: Vishnevsky, Wilkinson, Konkov ointments, antiseptic essential oil, tar soap, hair care products, etc. In its pure form, it is used mainly by traditional medicine enthusiasts who are aware of the dangers of pharmacological treatment and avoid the use of tablets.
Birch tar. Instructions for use
Tar can be used internally or externally, and both methods have different variations depending on what disease is being fought.
For example, for pulmonary tuberculosis, it is recommended to take 1 drop 3 times a day, washed down with milk (there is also such a recipe - drink tar with one tablespoon of milk, increasing the dose every day from 1 drop to 40, and then reducing the dosage back from 40 drops up to one, but 40 drops of tar is not so little, be sure to consult your doctor). In addition, birch tar with milk is used for cancer of the lungs, throat and stomach, catarrhal cystitis, diabetes mellitus, thrombophlebitis, strokes - however, the dosages for different diseases will be different.
For psoriasis, affected areas of the skin are lubricated with a mixture of purified tar and birch ash (in a ratio of 3 to 1). For eczema, the composition of the ointment is more complex: tar, flammable sulfur, beeswax, honey, copper sulfate, vinegar essence, sunflower oil.
In a rather unexpected way, tar is used to treat hemorrhoids. Half a red brick is heated, then it is placed in an empty iron bucket, 2 drops of tar are dripped onto it, resulting in smoke. And you have to sit on this bucket, having previously exposed your butt. You need to sit for 15-20 minutes before going to bed.
If the smell of tar irritates you, then tar water can be used for treatment - it helps with hair loss, constipation, asthma, skin pigmentation and many other diseases. They drink it or rub it into the skin. Preparing tar water is quite simple: four liters of cold spring water, half a kilo of tar, this mixture is stirred for 5 minutes with a wooden stick, after which the vessel should be properly closed for two days, allowing the tar to settle. After it has settled, you need to carefully remove the tar foam and carefully pour the clear liquid into a separate bottle - this is tar water. It must be stored tightly closed. You should drink this water in the following way: adults 100 grams, children 50 grams in the morning 15-20 minutes before meals.
Please note that in many cases we have not indicated the dosage and proportions in which the components are combined. This is an attempt to indicate one important point- Do not self-medicate without consulting a doctor. With a doctor who can tell you what, how and in what quantities you need to drink to feel good.
