Many of us know the words "stearin", "paraffin"and ozocerite. However, not everyone understands what they mean. All of the above substances are petroleum products, resulting from the decay of products of the animal and plant world, which existed on our planet many centuries ago.

Ozokerite, the use of which is associated with itsmechanical and thermal effect, is a natural material. This is a natural mountain wax that is of petroleum origin. According to its physical properties, ozokerite is a wax-like mass. Depending on the degree of purification, it can be black or yellow, green or white.

Ozokerite, the use of which covers the sameareas, as when using paraffin, in contrast to the latter, can also have a chemical effect. This ability of mountain wax is carried out at the expense of substances in its composition, which are biologically active. These elements penetrate the patient's skin, providing a reflex effect, affecting the metabolic processes and the state of the nervous system. Normalize the active substances of the lymph and bloodstream, and also have a beneficial effect on the internal secretion organs.

Ozokerite, which is safe to usehigh heat capacity and low thermal conductivity. That is why when it is applied there is no likelihood of burns. During the procedures, heat transfer is weak. Temperature indicators of the layer of ozokerite and skin are close in their values. At the same time, ozokerite warms up deep-lying tissues quite well.

Ozokerite, the use of which is very versatile,used for injuries and pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. Shown is mountain wax for hepatitis and pneumonia, colitis and pleurisy, gastritis and thrombophlebitis, as well as for various diseases of the skin. Ozokerite applications have a positive effect on the nerves. It also has an anti-inflammatory and antistatic effect, as well as enhanced tissue regeneration. These procedures have an analgesic, vasodilating and resorbing effect.

Ozokerite, the use of which is possibleIn several ways, can be used by layering. At the same time, mountain wax melted to 55 degrees is applied to a specific part of the patient’s body with a brush. After the formation of a protective layer, ozokerite is applied over it, brought to 70-80 degrees. To maintain the temperature, the natural waxing area is covered with a blanket or film.

The next use of ozokeriteare therapeutic baths. They are used only for feet or hands. With this method, after applying the first layer and forming a protective film, a part of the body is dipped into an oil-bag, filled with melted mountain wax, brought to a temperature of 60 degrees.

Treatment can be madenapkin-application method. With this method, the part of the body to which natural wax will be applied is covered with napkins soaked in melted ozokerite. The temperature of their two layers is different. The first - 50-55, and the second - 60-65 degrees. There is also a cuvette-application method, in which an ozokerite cake, prepared in a special form, is put on the skin.

Has ozokerite application reviews indicatingon some contraindications of its use. Procedures with mountain wax for acute heart diseases, hypertension and bronchial asthma are not prescribed. Prohibited the use of ozokerite in malignant and benign tumors, tuberculosis, a tendency to bleeding, as well as in acute thrombophlebitis and severe liver pathologies.
