The legendary “Zvezdochka” ointment appeared in pharmacies of the Soviet Union around the 70s. Literally everyone remembers her, since she was a truly effective (sometimes even indispensable) and inexpensive drug.
They tried to treat everything in the world with balm - starting from acute respiratory infections and ending with chronic rheumatism. The most amazing thing was that the medicine actually helped in many cases.
At some point, the ointment disappeared from the shelves. However, its healing properties were so high that already Russian pharmacists helped return the medicinal balm to the market. Today we will tell you what this legendary substance actually is, what it consists of and how it can be used at present.

History

In the original, the ointment was called "Vietnam Star", and it was produced, respectively, in Vietnamese factories. The specific author of the original composition was scientists from the Vietnamese pharmacological company Danafa, Danapha Pharmaceutical JSC. The American pharmacists translated the name Cao Sao vàng as “Golden Star Balm”, with this labeling it appeared on our market. Soviet people did not “try” the ointment right away: for some reason it was supplied with instructions in their native language. Even in the first embodiment, the ointment did not contain healing eucalyptus oil - its addition turned the drug into a real miracle.

Composition

The composition of the original ointment includes only those substances that have been used by Vietnamese in folk medicine for several hundred years. This, in fact, is one of the very few folk preparations, which is recognized as useful pharmacologists around the world.

Panacea for all ills

In our country, they still do not know how to reveal the full potential of the legendary balm. In Vietnam, doctors and specialists traditional medicine even serious problems such as the treatment of the musculoskeletal system and circulatory system can be solved with the help of an ointment.

The use of the star has been tested for many years. Today, when there are many different drugs, this composition does not lose its popularity.

Contraindications and harm

The asterisk, although it is natural, still has contraindications that must be strictly observed. If you ignore the restrictions, the balm can cause significant harm to health. You can not carry out therapy using this tool in cases where patients have:

• intolerance to at least one of the components of the drug - in such a situation, applying a balm or inhalation will cause severe allergic reaction, which can lead to the development of suffocation;

• bronchospasm - from the ointment, it can significantly increase, which will lead to disturbance or respiratory arrest;
• whooping cough;
• skin diseases.

During pregnancy and lactation, an asterisk ointment is not recommended for use. This is due to the particular activity of substances from the composition of the drug on the body.

The main negative reactions that can occur at the time of treatment with an asterisk are burning, swelling, the appearance of rashes similar to urticaria. With severe itching at the site of application of the composition, it is also necessary to conclude that the body reacts negatively to the drug.

How to open balm asterisk

Opening a round metal box with ointment is always difficult, since the packaging for this is especially inconvenient. The use of force does not give results when trying to get to the drug.

There are 3 ways that help open the box, but all of them are not very fast and do not always lead to success.

1. Pulling the lid with a thin knife blade.
2. Hard surface rolling. If you roll the jar on the table for some time, laying it on its side, the lid will gradually come off. The process is long and requires patience.
3. Contraction. One handed lower part the boxes are tightly squeezed, and the other - they grab the lid and turn from side to side, while it is slightly pulled up.

In rare cases, the package is closed so tightly that it is not possible to remove the lid. In this situation, pliers can help.

Instructions for use

The manufacturer notes that the instructions for use of the asterisk balm must be strictly observed. It is recommended to apply the composition to the active points of the body (acupuncture points). The ointment should be rubbed in circular massaging movements clockwise until the moment the skin turns red. This medicine can be applied no more than 3 times per day. It is more correct to use the drug no more than 2 times a day.

From a cold and a cold

With a runny nose, an asterisk ointment helps very effectively. She, in the absence of allergy to the components of the composition, in a short time allows to solve the problem. Apply the drug to the edge of the nostrils and wings of the nose.

If the nose is heavily blocked, then the nose must also be lubricated. It is also very useful in this situation to breathe in a pair of balm, for which they use a pencil inhaler. The duration of this procedure is no more than 1 minute.

When using an asterisk, care should be taken to ensure that it does not get into the eyes. The ointment causes severe irritation to their mucous membranes, and medical attention may be required.

Cough asterisk

If severe bronchitis is present, then treatment should be carried out with an ointment applied to the neck, upper half of the back and chest. The patient, after he was rubbed with the drug, should lie under a warm blanket. Because of this, it is most convenient to apply the composition in the evening before bedtime.

Also, when coughing, an asterisk is also used in the form of inhalation. A procedure is carried out on a container with hot water in which the balm is dissolved. The patient breathes steam, covering himself with a towel like a tent. For a liter of water, the drug is added in the amount of a regular pea. The maximum duration of inhalation is 10 minutes. During the procedure, you can not take deep breaths. Inhalation is strictly contraindicated if the cough is paroxysmal choking.
