Ozokerite Application Remedy Dr.Pirogov's Laboratory

Ozokerite is a natural petroleum-derived substance. In its warm state, it resembles wax. When extracted, the substance can have either 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 point and low thermal conductivity, compresses made from this substance help to improve blood circulation, metabolism, and tissue regeneration, and enhance the immune system.

Ozokerite therapy is indicated for inflammatory processes in the joints (arthritis, osteoarthritis), chronic radiculitis, contractures, osteochondrosis, and neuritis. For more detailed consultation, you can contact a specialist.

Method of application: it is also used for cavity treatment in the form of rectal and vaginal tampons at a temperature of 55-60°C. The choice of treatment technique is determined by the form of the disease, the location of the process, and the phase and stage of the illness. Typically, procedures are carried out daily or every other day, lasting from 15 to 30-40 minutes, with a course of treatment consisting of 10-20 sessions. After the procedure, it is recommended to rest for 30-40 minutes.

Treatment courses can be repeated with intervals of no less than 3-4 months. Ozokerite can be combined (alternating procedures) with galvanization or electrophoresis, ultrasound therapy, phototherapy, massage, therapeutic physical training, and general mineral baths.
