Coniferous 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 mass of dark color, similar to gypsum. 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 brand Dr. Pirogov's Laboratory contribute to improving the body's blood supply, metabolism, and tissue regeneration, and enhance immunity. Ozokerite therapy is indicated for inflammatory processes in the joints (arthritis, arthrosis), chronic radiculitis, contractures, osteochondrosis, neuritis. For more detailed consultation, you can contact a specialist.

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 exercise, and general mineral baths.

The intervals between ozokerite therapy sessions and any of the listed procedures should be no less than 1-2 hours. For the 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).
