Quark (German dairy product) against inflammation and swelling
Quark wraps are a well-known German home remedy that can be used against various inflammations, injuries and in particular as swelling prophylaxis after surgery. Quark reduces swelling, is anti-inflammatory, pain reducing and provides a pleasant cool feeling. Quark contains casein (phosphoric acid) and this brings the pathologically altered metabolism motor back up and running, because it has an “pulling” effect and works against inflammation.
Quark wrap has always been Granny’s first aid during a sunburn. But even with insect bites, arthritis and sprains Quark wraps are quite helpful.
How to apply a Quark wrap:
The quark wraps are made from ordinary (supermarket) quark. There are 2 ways to apply a quark wrap.
Either apply the quark in a layer approx. 50mm thick directly onto the skin and additionally cool with a gel pad wrapped in a damp cloth.
Or you apply the quark in a 50 mm thick layer to a damp compress, which you then fold over, so that the quark is inside, like in a pocket. This pocket can now be used on the affected body parts. Once the curd is warm, it should be replaced and renewed. To increase the effect, you can also use a cooling gel pad, these are also wrapped in a cloth. The cooling gel pads should only have refrigerator temperature (about 46 – 50 °F).
As swelling prophylaxis after surgery:
As a rule, it is recommended to use it on the day of the operation and the following 2 days about 30 minutes, 3 to 6 times a day. The actual cooling should be done additionally.
For inflammations:
The duration during an inflammation is 30 minutes, 5 – 10 times a day. Swelling and redness are reduced significantly by the use of Quark wraps usually after only a few applications. In addition, it is recommended to cool with gel pads (refrigerator temperature max 46 – 50 °F).

Like all dairy, quark is a good source of calcium, with enough in one serve to hit about 20% of the Recommended Dietary Intake. It is also stocked with Vitamin A, which helps to support eye and skin health, and B12; which helps to support our nervous system and brain function.
1. Avocados. Avocados are often sought after for their creamy texture and satiating taste. But they are also powerhouses when it comes to fighting inflammation.
Research shows that vitamin K-rich leafy greens like spinach and kale, berries, and yellow and orange fruits and vegetables may be particularly protective. Whole grains. The fiber in oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat bread, and other whole grains may help with inflammation.
Like many things, quark is healthy — but only when it's consumed in moderation and is part of a balanced diet that is rich in a wide variety of foods. Quark's fat content ranges from 1% to 40%, but it's always extremely high in protein.
This is one of the reasons Greek yoghurt became so popular, with an average 7 grams of protein per 100 gram serving. In comparison, regular yoghurt has only 5 grams (2). Quark, however, has 14 grams of protein per 100g serving. Gram for gram, that's double the protein of Greek yoghurt.
Goat cheese is highly nutritious, in 30 grams you can find:
This may be due to the fact that goat milk has a lower lactose content and contains different proteins. In particular, goat cheese contains A2 casein, with an anti-inflammatory effect for the human body.
Nuts and seeds. Studies have found that consuming nuts and seeds is associated with reduced markers of inflammation and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
