Reviews about the drug
In the summer of 2017, the BUM TV television store hosted an advertisement for this product. Since then, many viewers have ordered and purchased the drug. However, reviews on turpentine foot balm "Komforgel" on "BOOM" are still very few. There are reports that the tool is too expensive in the telemarket, its price is about 1,500 rubles. While on the Internet the same balm can be purchased for 600 rubles.
You can find positive reviews about turpentine balm "Komforgel" for legs from edema and fatigue. Users note that the composition has a cooling effect on the skin, which eliminates fatigue and a feeling of heaviness in the lower extremities. Especially good balm helps relieve fatigue after a long walk in the summer in the heat.
There are also negative reviews about turpentine balm for legs "Komforgel". In a telemarketer ad, it was stated that this drug effectively eliminates varicose veins. However, in practice, the balm did not have a significant effect on the dilated and pathologically altered veins. Such a complex problem as varicose veins cannot be completely eliminated only by applying balm. This disease requires a long and complex therapy, and sometimes surgical treatment.
It can be concluded that with fatigue and swelling of the legs due to physical overstrain, this remedy can be beneficial. However, with complex and advanced vascular diseases, balm alone cannot be dispensed with. The appointment of classic venotonics is necessary, and Komforgel can complement the comprehensive treatment.
