Something from the history of iodine treatment.
Iodine is a wonderful antiseptic, however, the attitude to it on the part of medicine over the last hundred years has changed a considerable number of times, so the unique healing properties of iodine have not been fully utilized.
Thanks to the chemist B. Courtois in 1812, iodine, as a chemical element, took its place in the periodic table of Mendeleyev. The scientist was able to open this element by treating sulfuric acid with ash of seaweed. After this, iodine therapy appeared. Iodine was used in the treatment of wounds in any operation, from tooth extraction to amputation of the limb, so that mortality after surgery decreased by 20%.

After the tragedy of iodine forgotten, because the public began to treat him negatively.
So, iodine was forgotten for almost a century and only at the beginning of the 20th century was it remembered of its miraculous antiseptic properties. In addition, the element reacted as a medicine for a hundred diseases! A great impetus in the development of iodine therapy was given by IS Kolbasenko. He developed the basic rules for the use of iodine mesh and the reception of iodine by microdoses.
