Coniferous Ozokerite Application Remedy Dr.Pirogov's Laboratory

Ozokerite is a natural petroleum-derived substance. In its warm state, it resembles wax. Upon extraction, the substance can either have a wax-like texture or appear as a solid dark mass, similar to plaster. It is used for medical purposes in various sanatoriums and rehabilitation centers.

Thanks to its high melting temperature and low thermal conductivity, compresses made from this substance by the Dr. Pirogov Laboratory brand help to improve blood circulation, metabolism, and tissue regeneration, thereby enhancing immunity. Ozokerite therapy is recommended for inflammatory processes in the joints (arthritis, arthrosis), chronic radiculitis, contractures, osteochondrosis, and neuritis. For more detailed consultation, you can contact a specialist.

Treatment courses can be repeated at intervals of not less than 3-4 months. Ozokerite can be combined (alternating treatments) with galvanization or electrophoresis, ultrasound therapy, phototherapy, massage, therapeutic exercises, and general mineral baths.

The intervals between ozokerite treatments and any of the listed procedures should be at least 1-2 hours. For elderly and children, ozokerite is heated to a lower temperature (48-52°C); the duration of the procedure is reduced to 15-20 minutes. In pediatric practice, preference is given to the napkin-application method (napkins are moistened with ozokerite at 48-49°C and a compress is applied).
