Star balm all types. Application of balm "Zvezdochka": instructions and composition. The main therapeutic effects of the ointment are

Known medicines, which have not lost their relevance for decades. New therapeutic drugs are being developed, and some of the old, proven ones remain at their best and are deservedly popular. Among them is Zvezdochka balm, also known under the names “Golden Star” and “Vietnamese Star”.

Composition of the balm

The product is considered effective because its composition, developed using Eastern technologies, is not only safe, but also contains a lot of useful substances.

1. Instructions for use of Zvezdochka balm contain a list of the main components, which are mainly of plant origin:
2. The lion's share consists of essential oils: camphor, eucalyptus, mint and others. Peppermint oil helps relieve pain and reduces the proliferation of pathogenic microflora. Clove oil prevents germs from entering the body.
3. Paraffin, beeswax and petroleum jelly are used to create a viscous consistency.
4. Camphor is used as a disinfectant. It suppresses the growth of pathogenic microflora.

Menthol has a local cooling effect and analgesic properties. Relieves headaches. Each component contributes beneficial features

, and in general, the effectiveness of the balm is reduced to a locally irritating, antiseptic and distracting effect. Its use is based on its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. The product is available in several forms: as an ointment and a soft pencil for inhalation. Liquid balm Zvezdochka is also produced.

The medicine is more widely accepted in the form of an ointment, which is sold in aluminum jars of 4-5 g. It has a thick consistency, a yellowish tint and a slightly sharp, spicy smell. For external use.

The pencil has similar components and in appearance resembles a package of hygienic lipstick filled with viscous contents. The pencil is effective for nasal congestion. The procedure is carried out as follows: bring it to the nose and take 1-2 breaths at a time. The pencil helps with headaches caused by a cold or low blood pressure.

Therapeutic effect

Since the Vietnamese Star relieves inflammation and kills microorganisms, being a strong antiseptic, its spectrum of action covers various diseases:

• prevention and treatment of influenza and colds;
• inflammation of the respiratory system, for example, rhinitis;
• preventive and therapeutic measures for problems with the musculoskeletal system;
• assistance in the treatment of radiculitis;
• relieving muscle pain, positive effect for injuries and bruises;
• help with toothaches;
• treatment of fatigue and depression;
• help with some skin problems;
• relieving swelling of the feet and dry calluses;
• relieving headaches.

The balm helps with insect bites and jellyfish touches, and treats seasickness. Aroma lamps with balm - prevention of colds and relaxation procedures.

Application rules and dosage

It is better to always keep an inhalation pencil with you. It is convenient to use it during the day as needed, since the effect is not very long-lasting. You need to inhale or sniff the product slowly, without bringing the stick to your nose (the smell is too strong). It helps treat a runny nose, which is important in the age of colds and allergies.

The balm is applied to the skin in a thin layer and gently rubbed in with massaging movements. Application 2-3 times a day will be sufficient. Excessive use of the product causes irritation. A reaction on the skin epidermis also occurs when it is used in large quantities, which can lead to burns.

In case of headache, the “oriental elixir” is applied to the temple and back of the head; during flu or colds - on the chest and back area; from rhinitis it rubs into the wings of the nose; applied to the area of ​​the insect bite. But these are only general recommendations.

Vietnamese balm works effectively when applied correctly - through acupuncture points. There are certain treatment points to which ointment is applied. They are massaged clockwise until the skin turns red. You need to know the locations of the points by reading the relevant literature or by contacting a chiropractor.

When relieving minor pain symptoms, you can cope on your own. But if you are undergoing complex treatment for a serious illness, then better specialist will apply the product to certain points.

The cost of the “Golden Star” is quite reasonable. Thus, a pencil for inhalation (1.3 g) costs 131 rubles. The price of a balm (4 g) is 82 rubles, a liquid balm in a bottle (5 ml) is estimated at 132 rubles. The cost of the medicine in different pharmacies and regions may vary, but not significantly.

When should you discard the balm?

Although the composition of the product is natural, it is quite “aggressive”, since essential oils have a pungent odor and can cause an allergic reaction on the skin. Therefore, some contraindications are known:

• not applicable to children under 3 years of age;
• should be used with caution during pregnancy;
• prohibited in case of individual reaction to components;
• not recommended for bronchial asthma;
• do not apply if the skin is damaged;
• not used for hypersensitivity.

The instructions for use state that the composition should not be applied to the mucous membranes of the nose and mouth. Avoid contact of the product with the eyes.

Before use, we perform an allergy test by selecting a small area on the skin. If there is no itching, irritation or pain, the product is suitable for use. The balm is not used if an allergic reaction occurs.

Balm for colds

Since the range of diseases for which the “Golden Star” is used is quite wide, we will study its use using individual examples.

An asterisk for runny nose and colds is simply a magical panacea. The wings of the nose and the bridge of the nose, the edges of each nostril are massaged when the nose does not breathe and mucus is secreted. It is impossible to smear the inner surface (epithelium) for a runny nose, as a burn may occur on the mucous membrane. The ointment helps children well, but you need to take into account age and be sure to carry out an allergy test.

Balm Zvezdochka for a runny nose is the most popular remedy that is used quite widely. After massaging the nasal area over the balm, you can breathe for a minute. But it is better to use a pencil for inhalations - an asterisk for the nose, it is intended for this. The pencil is used as a prophylactic in case of hypothermia or suspected development of a cold.

The balm helps even against a strong and prolonged cough. When coughing, apply to the chest, neck and upper back. To warm up and sleep well, the procedure is best done at night. So its action will bring the desired result.

Inhalation with Zvezdochka balm will help with a dry cough and runny nose:

• For a liter of hot, just boiled water, take a pea of ​​ointment;
• bend over a container with a solution, covered with a towel;
• breathe over the steam for 10 minutes: breathing should be measured between inhalation and exhalation.

It is dangerous to inhale too hot steam: the mucous membranes of the nose or throat are easily burned. Inhalation is not carried out for coughs that are paroxysmal in nature.

Use of balm for other pathologies

Using the balm, you can relieve a headache in 10 minutes. Lubricate the area of ​​the temples, the bridge of the nose, the center of the back of the head with the product and apply it behind the ears. If the pain is associated with a cold or low blood pressure, then help is guaranteed.

You can use the Star for joint pain, sprains or bruises. You need to proceed as follows:

• the balm is rubbed into the sore spot;
• the affected area is wrapped in a warm cloth;
• the wrap is left for several hours to thoroughly warm the affected area;
• for joint pain, the ointment is applied around the painful area and the place of pain is wrapped and warmed up,
• for spinal pain syndrome, the product is applied pointwise along the spinal column.

After a few hours, the patient will feel relief. The balm is not used as the main medicine; it is part of complex therapy.

The Vietnamese “drug” is also indispensable for the bites of certain insects: bees, wasps, mosquitoes, midges. It is gently applied to the affected area of ​​the skin. This will relieve itching, pain and irritation of the skin. But when the bite site is scratched until it bleeds, when a wound has formed, you should not rub in the ointment: it will cause even more severe irritation.

The asterisk helps cure swelling and calluses on the feet. First, take a bath on steamed skin, apply the product to the sole if there are calluses, and to the ankle area if the legs are swollen. Contrast foot baths are effective for swelling, after which the ointment is rubbed into the skin of the ankle.

Help with fatigue and depression consists of inhaling the vapors of the “oriental elixir”. Essential oils calm the nervous system and bring a person into a state of balance. They often use an aroma lamp, adding a little balm to it. With this method, the effect will be more noticeable, since the smell of essential oils envelops a person and relieves all the anxieties that have accumulated during the day.

The asterisk is often used when going out to the open sea. When the sea is stormy and signs of nausea (sea sickness) occur, a jar of ointment or a pencil will come in handy. The temporal and occipital region are the places of application.

Opinions about the use of the product during pregnancy are very controversial, since the Vietnamese medicine contains many essential oils. It may not be a panacea for all pregnant women. Sometimes it causes unexpected reactions, so it can be used, but with caution. Due to natural composition it may be the only permitted remedy.

“Vietnamese medicine” is a useful and universal remedy. Naturally, it will not solve all problems. But the ointment is very helpful in cases of sudden onset of a runny nose, colds, migraines, or unexpected irritation.

Thanks to its small volume and undeniable benefits, it will always find a place in a handbag or home medicine cabinet.
Hello, friends.
Today I will tell you about my next purchase.
And we will talk about the “Star” balm, which I ordered on Ali.
In short, I definitely recommend buying it. This is the same balm from the USSR.

Two inhalations should be performed per day (morning and evening). After the procedure, an hour's rest in bed is required.

Well, in general, you understand that this balm is used only to bring back the dead from the other world, but everything else can be treated with it.
That's why I ordered it.


It took about three weeks for the balm to reach me. At the post office, when I received the package, I immediately realized what was inside. Even the package had a bright menthol balm smell.


And the seller, by the way, has a sense of humor. Look what was written on the package about the contents:


Probably the balm has some other properties that the seller knows.
Inside the package there is a box with balm:




And inside the box are instructions and the balm itself, in that same tin box from childhood:


Here:






I open:


Kidding.
It opens quite easily:




And what you immediately notice is the smell of menthol. He is simply all-encompassing. So much so that it hurts your eyes. Very rich. Exactly the way I remember it in my childhood. I just now have a cold and am constantly coughing. I smear it on my chest, temples and bridge of my nose, the smell is wild. But you know, either this is self-hypnosis or it helps. It became easier.
I recently bought Golden Star balm at the pharmacy. So it comes there in a plastic screw-on jar, and its smell is twice as weak in intensity. Slightly stronger than Doctor Mom ointment.
Conclusion:
I received this balm a few days ago, I’m already using it and already seeing the effect in the form of cough relief. Considering the price, I'm already glad that I bought and received this balm. I ordered another package to have in my first aid kit at work. The balm helps a lot against headaches if you lightly lubricate your temples. It's better than eating pills, and I like the smell of menthol.
In general, if anything, buy it with confidence. The balm is excellent. The smell is pungent. The packaging is the same tin. I haven’t seen this in pharmacies for a long time (at least in our pharmacies).
That's all for my review. I wish everyone good health. Don't cough. Planning to buy +136 Add to favorites I liked the review +124 +210
