Spruce resin and its field of use

Resin is a bioactive substance that is secreted by plants to protect themselves from frost, insects and fungal, viral and bacterial infections. Its power is preserved even after it is removed from the tree. When applied to the skin, it has a surface action (against harmful micro-organisms) and a deep action (invigorates blood and lymph circulation).

Experience of users and our own experience have demonstrated the effectiveness of spruce resin in the following conditions:

Muscles, ligaments and joints• Sports injuries: Blows, dislocations, tears, inflammation of ligaments, muscles and periosteum, tired muscles due to overexertion, etc.• Spinal disease and accompanying problems: Cervical segment of spine (pains in neck, shoulders, upper limbs, headaches, pins and needles in hand fingers); thoracic segment of spine (pains between and under the shoulder blades), lumbar and sacral segment of spine (pains in the lower back region, hips and lower limbs, spasms, pins and needles);• Joint diseases: Rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, arthrosis, gout, etc.

Internal organs• Disease of the urinary system with uterus and vagina: Inflammation of urethra, urinary bladder and kidney, as well as ovaries and ovarian tubes;• Digestive system diseases: Heartburns and increased gastric acid secretion, inflammation of the gastric mucosa, ulcers of stomach and intestines, problems with purgation (diarrhoea, constipation), hemorrhoids;• Problems with blood circulation: Cold hands and feet.

Infections and inflammations• External signs of viral, bacterial and fungal infections: Herpes (oral, genital), fungi, boils, pimples, warts, whitlows, aphthas, gum inflammations, etc.• Upper airway disease and accompanying infections: Cold, sore throat and pharynx, middle ear inflammation, inflammation of nasal sinuses;• Lower airway disease: Cough, feeling of heavy breathing (with bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.)

Other• Stings of insects (bees, wasps, mosquitoes, scorpions, bedbugs, etc.), pricks of sea urchins and related animals, burns by coelenterate (medusa, sea anemones);• Skin injuries: Wounds, bedsores, abrasions, blisters, burns (sun burns as well), frostbites, etc.

The ointment should be applied to the problematic area several times a day. We recommend the use of dressing to increase the effect (adhere a thin strip of textile and impenetrable foil to the area of application with the help of adhesive tape). Bandages should be loose enough to allow for undisturbed blood circulation. If the skin is damaged (when treating wounds, bedsores, etc.) the dressing should be discarded after each change. Internal useIn case of problems with digestive tract swallow ½ of a teaspoon of the ointment daily. Because the ointment does not taste good, we recommend that you first put it in the refrigerator for a couple of minutes and then take the ointment together with some cold fluid.In case of respiratory infections, spread the ointment inside your oral cavity, so that it is slowly washed down through throat and pharynx. Mix it with honey to improve the taste. It can also be applied to the nasal cavity and the acoustic duct in small quantities.Warning:• In rare cases, spruce resin can cause allergy in the form of a skin rash.Some emphasises:• Pains in shoulders, hands, buttocks and legs are frequently the consequence of spinal problems, which is why the ointment should also be applied to the appropri-ate segment of the spine (cervical segment in case of pains in hands and the area between shoulder blade and lumbar and sacral segment in the case of pains in legs).• In some conditions, the pain can alter or be aggravated after the treatment is initiated. This condition is expected to disappear within 72 hours;• The duration of treatment is substantially shortened if the use of the ointment begins immediately after the onset of the disease;• Treatment should not be interrupted for at least a week, even if the improvement is not immediate. Chronic diseases (arthritis, rheumatism, sciatica, etc.) demand especially long treatment with a good measure of order and discipline;• If an allergic reaction appears, stop with the application of ointment.
