Potatoes are the vegetable that every summer resident grows on his plot.

But often by spring the potatoes begin to sprout. The sprouts should be removed so that the tubers do not become soft.

Usually they are then thrown away, but few people know that they can be used to make a healthy infusion.

The thing is that sprouts contain solanine. This is a poisonous substance.

Experienced housewives still found a use for this remedy. Potato sprouts are used to make a remedy for external use against joint and back pain.

In addition to the sprouts, you need to take vodka.

It is better to cook everything in a liter glass container.

You need to add 1-2 handfuls of sprouts and pour 0.5 liters of vodka or an alcohol solution that is at least 40 degrees. After this, the jar should be tightly closed and left in a dark place for a week.

Then you can rub the sore spot with this remedy and wrap it all in a warm, warming cloth to warm up the joints.
