The drug is a substance that stimulates the activity of endings in the area of the mucous membranes with the epidermis. Balm demonstrates local warming, anti-inflammatory, essential anesthetic and disinfecting activity, and at the same time expands capillaries, contributing to the improvement of blood supply processes, and insignificantly lowers the level of blood pressure. Affects the activity of the central nervous system reflex centers, providing a stimulating effect.
The effect exerted by the balm develops in the form of a weakening of inflammations and a reflex relief from pain (muscular or headaches) provoked by the common cold, flu, diseases of the ODE, epidermal lesions and other factors.
