Currently, pharmacies have a large selection of medicines, which include comfrey. Among them, the drug Zhivokost - ointment, gel, tea, balm, cream. Depending on the method of application, the patient may choose the desired medical form. Zhivokost ointment, for example, is produced by many manufacturers and has not only a different shape, but also a different volume. The volume options are as follows - 20, 50 and even 100 grams. Let us consider in more detail the therapeutic effect of the gastroenteritis.
Zhivokost (also comfrey) contains anti-inflammatory and biologically active substances, as well as vitamin E. In particular, Zhivokost balm contains chondroitin and essential oils. Of course, the composition of comfrey balm also includes other substances - extracts of comfrey and bodyfish, glucosamine hydrochloride, propylene glycol and others. As a rule, balm is used for external use (for grinding). Apply livestock ointment for fast healing of wounds of varying complexity, strengthening muscle mass, skin and restoration of bones.
It should be rubbed with a light massage into the edges of the wound or in a sore spot 2-3 times a day. Doctors note an improvement in the patient's condition a few weeks after the start of its use. There is also ointment ointment in the form of a cream. It has a slightly higher concentration and almost the same composition. The light green color and the smell of pine needles are pleasant and beneficial. And, most importantly, they gently have a warming effect on the affected area. The ointment is used twice a day, applying a thick layer without rubbing. At night it is recommended to increase the layer and wrap the sore spot in a warm bandage to accelerate and improve the effect. The ointment is more focused on serious damage - dislocations, healing after fractures and severe destruction of the skin.
Quite often, ointment ointment is prescribed during the rehabilitation period, because it has an excellent effect on bone growth, wound healing and muscle recovery. Elements of the drug have a positive effect on the restoration of cells of any tissues. Therefore, sometimes prescribed tea or balm for internal use. This normalizes the activity of the intestine, restores its work well after ulcers, and prevents the development of various fungi and pathogens. Due to the components of the ointment, the skin is restored, the muscles of the affected areas are relaxed, and the blood supply to the damaged muscles and joints and blood clotting are improved.
Zhivokost ointment has a wide range of applications. Add here neutrality if used with other drugs, the absence of contraindications and the use of comfrey for several centuries in folk medicine. It was various shamans and healers who used it for healing purposes. Even Paracelsus noted his healing properties. All this clearly resulted in the popular name "zhivokost". Comfrey is especially good for places where doctors cannot reach. For example, with fractures of the ribs, internal bruises or intervertebral hernia. Some use ointment to remove salt deposits.
It is recommended to use laparot ointment for people over 12 years old. Some doctors do not recommend it for pregnant women. This is all relative, since comfrey has no contraindications for treating women waiting for a baby, but you should not risk a future baby. Similarly with age limits. The restriction is prescribed due to the possible occurrence of allergies in children, since they still have weak immunity and a developing organism, swelling, irritation and other allergic reactions are possible.
As you can see, comfrey or zhivostok is a rather useful natural medicine. Depending on the nature of the damage or disease, one or another form of the drug can be used. The impact of the livestock as well as other drugs is still individual, that is, it will help someone, but not to someone. But the main thing is that it won’t do any harm.
