Treatment of respiratory diseases with balm "Golden Star"

All catarrhal diseases traditional Eastern medicine refers to the so-called Yin diseases. The term "yin diseases" is derived from the word "yin". According to the Chinese philosophical and medical tradition, yin is one of two opposite poles in a single yin-yang whole. Yin refers to the internal organs: liver, heart, spleen, pancreas, lungs, kidneys. The period of the off-season, according to the views of Chinese medicine, is considered the most dangerous when a person can get sick with "wind disease". Cooling of the body, a common cold or an untreated sore throat with improper treatment or its absence can lead to serious consequences. For example, to pneumonia and its severe form, like viral influenza pneumonia. It is usually difficult to treat. The consequence of cooling can also be rheumatism with the formation of heart disease, various diseases of the joints, kidneys. Who is to blame for this? Doctor or his patient? Or maybe the Russian healthcare system is to blame? Or our attitude towards ourselves and our health?

Numerous immigrants from eastern countries live in our country today. They often treat a banal cold with medicines brought from home. The Chinese improve their health with special teas and medicinal herbs that are unfamiliar to our therapists. Indians bring pills made in their homeland. For the Vietnamese, a universal remedy for all diseases is the Asterisk balm. Well, in this case, we are on the side of the Vietnamese. Balm "Asterisk" is really an indispensable remedy for all kinds of diseases of the upper respiratory tract. Next, we will give you the most effective recipes, but first we want to give you some useful tips.

For colds, hot drinks, berry fruit drinks (with lingonberries, cranberries, raspberries), inhalations (breathe with steam), shock (2-3 g per day) dose of vitamin C, cough lozenges and sore throats, rubbing with Asterisk balm or vodka (hands, feet, chest, back) at night. You can brew and drink 3-4 times a day St. John's wort, lime blossom, raspberry leaves (if there is no allergy). Antipyretics are best used only at night or at temperatures above 38 ° C.

You should avoid hypothermia, make sure that clothes and shoes are dry, eat regularly. Is it true that you need to keep your feet warm and your head cold, and then no viruses are afraid? True, but only half. In fact, you need to keep both feet and head warm. When the feet are hypothermic, blood circulation in the nasopharynx slows down reflexively, and all kinds of viruses begin to multiply there, both our own and those of others, which we accidentally inhaled. If your head is frozen, blood vessels narrow directly without any reflexes, the body's defenses weaken, and your next acute respiratory infection is right there. Moreover, the facial nerve can be blown by the wind, which makes all your teeth ache at once, and your hair in the cold will begin to fall out due to malnutrition of the hair follicles. In general, when it's cold outside, dress warmly and don't be smart.

How to apply the asterisk balm correctly when rubbing, massage.

In each pharmacy, buying a Vietnamese Golden Star balm, you can familiarize yourself with the location of the points on the human body, which are proposed to be massaged and lubricated. Such descriptions are now widely promoted in the media. Meanwhile, such recommendations, as a rule, are of the most general nature, and the meaning of the procedure remains unclear to those who use them. Yes, and it is almost impossible to find the points indicated in the diagrams.

We offer drawings indicating points that you can find yourself without much difficulty. At the same time, our proposals are limited to precisely those points, the massage of which is most effective in terms of its effect on your body. We focused on their special sensitivity (or even soreness), which is important in the treatment. This is especially true for points located on (in) the ear.

Since ancient times, Chinese doctors have argued that the auricle is a mini-map of the entire human body. On its surface there are about 120 different points that maintain a reflex connection with all organs and parts of the body. Consequently, the impact on certain points of the auricle is transmitted to the organs of the whole body. So you can treat a variety of diseases, in the same way you can influence your own nervous system - figuratively speaking, you can "pull yourself out of stress by the ears."

With the help of massage using the "Asterisk" balm, you can normalize blood pressure, get rid of pain in the heart area, discomfort in the stomach, intestines, etc. You can not only massage individual points, but also rub some parts of the body with the "Asterisk" balm . Head massage, for example, is loved by almost everyone, especially women. There is good reason to believe that they love going to the hairdresser not only to style their hair, but also to massage their scalp. Nerve endings are located very close to the surface of the skin, and it is extremely sensitive to any kind of massage. Shampooing also stimulates the massage of biologically active points of the skin in the temporal part, helping to relax the whole body. If you periodically rub your head with a Vietnamese balm, you can regain good health.

When primates dig into each other's fur, their bodies release natural drugs - endorphins; the same thing happens when we are rubbed and massaged, so submissive subjects who are vigorously rubbed on their backs or massaged on their heads feel great after such a procedure, even if they were not burdened with any diseases.

There are other benefits of rubbing: not only does it remove dead skin cells and open up pores (reducing ingrown hairs), but it also improves circulation and pushes the body to eliminate harmful toxins, which means healthy, smooth, youthful skin.

Speaking of skin...

Pay attention to your skin before massage

The skin is the direct object of massaging, the skin is the place of contact between the remedy and your body.

The skin is, first of all, a barrier between the body and the environment, protecting the body from adverse external influences - cooling, overheating, shock, penetration of pathogens, etc. It is associated with all parts of the body, but primarily with the nervous and circulatory systems, is directly involved in the most complex metabolic processes.

The condition of the skin almost always reflects the general well-being of a person. Doctors even use this expression: the skin is a mirror of the body. But there is also an inverse relationship - skin disease affects the functions of internal organs and the human condition.

Thus, the skin is a complex organ that plays an important role in the normal functioning of the body. It consists of two layers - inner and outer. In the inner there are sebaceous and sweat glands, blood vessels; in the outer - a large number of sensitive i gsrny endings - receptors. The latter, reacting to changes in temperature, touch, pain, send appropriate impulses to the brain, from where certain impulses-orders are already coming. Let's say a person becomes cold - immediately the subcutaneous blood vessels narrow, and the body's heat transfer decreases; the ambient temperature rises (and with it the body) - the vessels expand, and heat transfer increases, while sweating also increases, which further accelerates the cooling of the body (due to evaporation of sweat). The excretory function of the skin is not limited to the activity of the sweat glands alone. The sebaceous glands secrete oil to lubricate the skin.

On the surface of the body there are constantly obsolete, dead cells in the form of scales. They interfere with the normal functioning of the glands. This worsens both the general condition of the person and the condition of the skin. Massage helps to cleanse the skin of scales, improve its blood supply, and consequently, the nutrition of the glands; it enhances the metabolic processes in the skin, makes it elastic, smooth, beautiful.

With age, human skin changes - it becomes flabby, wrinkled, often covered with brown pigment spots and senile warts. All these changes can be mitigated, or even completely avoided with the help of regular massage.

Massage is useful for everyone: for some it will help strengthen muscles, ligaments, health, for others it will help maintain vigor, increase vitality, prevent or smooth out age-related changes and diseases.

Contraindications for massage.

Massage procedures should not be carried out:

In acute febrile condition;
acute inflammatory processes;
bleeding and bleeding;
abscesses, wherever they are;
skin diseases (eczema, boils, lichen, phlegmonous processes, inflammation of superficial lymphatic vessels, skin rashes);
excessive excitement or overwork after a lot of physical activity;
inflammation of the veins, vein thrombosis and large varicose veins.
You can not massage birthmarks, malignant and benign tumors.

In any other case, massage, especially with the Asterisk balm, is simply irreplaceable.

Help and biologically active points for treatment with balm "Golden Star"

The composition of the "Golden Star" balm and methods of treatment are consistent with the principles of traditional oriental medicine when treated by acting on certain points of the body. Traditional oriental medicine usually uses acupuncture in such cases, but it is not available to everyone. But to rub the "Asterisk", while doing a massage, as mentioned above, anyone can do it. This procedure has the same effect as acupuncture. To achieve the goal, it is only important to ideally correctly determine the point on the human body, where the ointment should be rubbed for various functional disorders of the body.

Once again, we will repeat how to use the drug "Asterisk". Take a little ointment on the tip of your finger and apply a thin layer to the point, press lightly and then rub clockwise (sometimes counterclockwise, as indicated). In the figures, the points are indicated approximately, zonal. You will find the point itself by slightly more noticeable, compared to neighboring areas of the skin, painful sensations when you press it. If the point is found correctly, you will quickly feel the healing effect of the balm.

Usually, in order to cure some kind of ailment, acupuncture point massage is used in combination. For example, influenza responds in many organs, it is accompanied by headache, runny nose, weakness, cough, tinnitus, often even vomiting. This means that in order to remove these painful sensations, it is necessary to act on different points at the same time.

There are points of narrowly focused action, but there are also universal ones. The latter, for example, include a point located at the junction of the thumb and forefinger on the back of the hand. It is called the "junction point". Exposure to it brings relief from headaches, tired eyes and hearing, nosebleeds.

Massage of skin active points with pharmacological preparations

Acupuncture points can be affected by drugs, the action of which is mainly associated with irritation of the nerve endings of the skin. These are ointments "Nicoflex", "Efkamon", Finalgon "balm" Gold Star ".

Vietnamese balm "Gold Star", popular in our country, contains cinnamon oil, eucalyptus, clove, mint oils and other natural aromatic products. Selected in the right proportions, essential oils easily penetrate the skin and effectively affect the body in many diseases. The modern formulation of the balm is also being studied at the Institute of Traditional Medicine in Ho Chi Minh City. Here, special schemes for using the ointment for various pathological changes in the body have been developed. The balm is rubbed into certain ATK of a person, while doing a point massage. To do this, take a little ointment on the tip of your finger and apply a thin layer to the point, press lightly and rub with a little force, making rotational movements clockwise until the skin turns pink.

Professor Bui Ti Hieu, one of the creators of the modern formulation of the balm, notes 40 active points, into which the balm is rubbed with various functional disorders of the body. On the ATC diagram are indicated approximately. When pressed, these points are more painful compared to neighboring areas of the skin. With the correct location of the point, the effect comes quickly.

You have familiarized yourself with the methodology of the Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor of the Central Institute for the Improvement of Doctors V. Goydenko. If it seemed complicated to someone, we offer several recommendations from the Japanese acupressure specialist Yoshiro Tsutsumi from his book Simplified Finger Exercises for Maintaining Health.

The author developed the technique for 30 years. Many books on oriental medicine have been studied, thousands of scientific and practical experiments have been carried out. Now Yutsumi claims that by exercising regularly three times a day, anyone can achieve positive changes in health within six months.

So, let's get to work.

It can be said without exaggeration that any person, living in modern society, struggles with mental stress. Difficulties in human relationships, in public life, the position of the individual as a link in an organization, family troubles, the impact of the information boom... you can't list everything. In order to live normally, it is necessary to quickly relieve stress and increase endurance.

In Eastern medicine, physical strength is interpreted, mainly based on how a person stores and uses the energy given to him by nature, as well as another - the energy received from food. If the body is filled with energy, then physical strength is in full bloom, but if it needs energy, then physical strength is reduced.
To increase stamina, three points are annoying. One is located in the center of the back of the wrist and is called "yoti". The other is on the ring finger. The third "kangen" - On the anterior midline of the body, 5-6 cm below the navel.

Exercise 1. Massage the ring finger and the yoga point. At the same time, relax the abdominal muscles and take a deep breath. Then a slow exhalation with alternate stimulation of all three points. Repeat 10 times.

Exercise 2. In a sitting position on a chair, throw the right leg over the left so that the shin of the right leg lies on the thigh of the left. Then, with reinforcement, they are pressed against each other for 5 seconds, now relax. Change the position of the legs Repeat each exercise 8 times.

REMINDER: in the method of Y. Tsutsumi it is said that it is not necessary to find the exact active point. It is enough to massage the entire area adjacent to it. The effect of this is not reduced.

The amazing properties of essential oils that are part of the Vietnamese "Asterisk"

Essential oils are found in a huge number of plants. The essential oil species include the aster family (composite) - peeled chamomile, bitter wormwood, common yarrow, common tansy, etc .; yasnotkovy (labial) - peppermint, medicinal sage, thyme, thyme, oregano, etc.; celery (umbrella) - common anise, fennel, garden dill, etc.; rosaceous - various types of roses; myrtle - species of eucalyptus; laurel - camphor laurel and some others.

In medical practice, essential oils are used in their pure form (mint, anise) as a means of improving the smell of medicines and changing their taste, as well as in the form of fragrant waters (mint, dill) for flatulence and intestinal colic in children. Most essential oils are characterized by the presence of disinfectant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral or antihelminthic activity (essential oils of chamomile, tansy, yarrow, juniper, calamus, etc.).

Balms and resins are formed in plants as a by-product during metabolism and, like essential oils, they are often found together with them in special containers - resin ducts. By filling the wounds inflicted on trees, balms and resins protect them from drying out and the penetration of microorganisms.

To obtain balms and resins, cuts are made on plants. The amount of balsams and resins flowing from the incisions depends on the number and structure of the receptacles. In the presence of round or oval receptacles, only a few drops protrude. For example, Canadian balsam is obtained by repeatedly piercing the bark of a Canadian fir tree. It is colorless, transparent, has the density of honey and a pleasant aromatic smell.

In medicine, complex preparations containing essential oils from many medicinal plants are used, including the Vietnamese Golden Star balm. The composition of the drug includes eucalyptus oil, clove oil, peppermint oil, menthol oil, cinnamon oil, the properties of which can hardly be overestimated.

By applying "Asterisk" to the skin, we thereby use the essential oils that are part of the preparation as active medicinal substances. It has long been known from psychology and physiology that smell affects the mental and physical state of a person. Therefore, in ancient times, aromatherapy was very popular. And now the half-forgotten methods of aromatherapy are returning to us again.

Essential oils are successfully used in homeopathy for herbal treatment and, unfortunately, too rarely - in classical pharmaceutics. Essential oils easily penetrate the skin and show their effect by binding to the fats that make up the cells. Volatile essential oils evaporate quickly and enter the body when inhaled, and also irritate the millions of sensitive cells lining the nasal passages. These cells send signals directly to the brain and influence the emotions and nervous regulation of the functions of all organs. Therefore, you should know that, for example, when inhaled with the Zvezdochka balm, essential oils simultaneously affect both the physical and mental well-being of a person. The same thing happens if the balm is rubbed into biologically active points on the body.

However, it should be noted that all serious physical and mental illnesses necessarily require consultation with a professional aromatherapist.

Now in more detail about the ingredients that make up the "Asterisk".

Eucalyptus (eucalyptus oil)- It has long been proven that eucalyptus oil has a stimulating effect on the receptors of the mucous membranes, and in combination with other essential oils is an excellent anti-inflammatory and antiseptic agent. The essential oil of eucalyptus helps well with inhalation - it quickly and effectively clears the nasal passages.

Thanks to eucalyptus oil, Asterisk stimulates sensitive nerve endings and is indispensable for headaches and colds. Its aroma is a great help as a means of fighting mosquitoes - "bloodsuckers" can not stand the smell of eucalyptus.

It is characteristic that the leaves of this tree are harvested only in late autumn, winter and early spring - it is at this time that they have a special healing power.

Much has been written about the amazing properties of eucalyptus. We add that now you can buy eucalyptus oil "Ors". This remedy has proven itself very well for headaches, coughs, inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract, insect bites, indigestion and abdominal pain.

Peppermint (peppermint oil)- Peppermint essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of the mcntha piperita plant. It has a pronounced smell of menthol with a grassy tint. Peppermint is widely used in Eastern and Western Europe as part of toothpastes, breath fresheners, etc.

Peppermint oil is an excellent adaptogen, it contributes to the normalization of body functions and its resistance to external influences. Some biologically active points are recommended to be massaged with mint oil.

Peppermint oil is mainly used for mouthwashes and breath fresheners. To do this, just add one drop of peppermint oil to half a glass of water. With colds, flu, sinusitis, peppermint oil cleans the respiratory tract well. In these cases, steam inhalation, evaporation in an aroma lamp, direct inhalation or massage with a mixture of oils (massage of the chest and back) are especially recommended. Peppermint oil has a dual effect - it cools in the heat, warms in the cold, so it is used to normalize body temperature. It is used for nausea, malaise; hangover syndrome.

Peppermint oil relieves headaches; used for digestive disorders, flatulence; taken orally (one drop of oil in a glass of water or in honey). Action: sedative, analgesic, antiseptic, tonic, antispasmodic, choleretic.

Clove (clove oil)- dried unblown buds of clove flowers - belongs to the most ancient and well-known spices. Homeland is Indonesia. In China and India it was known before our era. Most of all, cloves are cultivated in Madagascar, in Zanzibar, in the Moluccas, as well as in India, Sri Lanka and Guinea. During the time of the Roman emperors, its popularity and use extended to the Mediterranean. In those days, cloves were highly valued and sometimes were more expensive than gold. She got to Europe through Ceylon, she was taken by ships to the ports on the Red Sea, and then by caravans - to Alexandria and Tsargrad.

The clove tree reaches a height of 10-20 m. It blooms twice a year. The flowers are white with a purple calyx. The fruit is an ovoid berry containing one or two seeds. Propagated by cuttings, but most often by seedlings grown from seeds.

Carnation (flos caryophylli) is obtained when the tree reaches the age of 6-12 years. Flower buds are harvested when they begin to turn red. Dry in the sun or in dryers, after which they become brown.

The main component of cloves is essential oil (15-26%) containing up to 96% eugenol. It also contains humulene, caryphyllene, tannins, oleanolic acid, mucus and fatty substances.

Cloves have a strong, distinctive aroma and a spicy, spicy taste. It is used as a spice and medicine. In dentistry, clove oil is used as a good antiseptic.

It is used for the preparation of bitter stomach liqueurs, hot drinks with wine, the popular Slovak zhenka, punches, fruit juices and compotes, and fruit preservation. It is also used for dishes from red cabbage, pork, lamb, game, meat sauces, pickled herring. Together with onions and kohlrabi leaves, it improves the taste of sauerkraut. It is added to mushrooms and to jellied meat. A pleasant taste is acquired by brawn and pastes from game with cloves. It is used very sparingly in the form of a powder for cooking fish, combined fish dishes, spaghetti, sauces for them and the famous Italian pizza. Thanks to cloves, these dishes acquire a special, unique taste.

Menthol (menthol oil)- a relatively volatile solid with a pleasant odor. Added in small amounts to cigarettes, cough drops, chewing gum and other products, it produces a pleasantly cool sensation in the mouth.

Menthol oil (pharmaceutical preparation) is used for a cold - 2-3 drops in each nostril. Lubricate the corners of the wings of the nose with oil. Children under three years of age are not recommended. With a headache of a catarrhal nature, with backaches in the head, with migraine, menthol oil is lubricated with forehead, temples, crown, back of the head, under the skull (where the fossa is). At night, it is very useful to lubricate the respiratory tract (nose) with menthol oil mixed with petroleum jelly. Apply in a thin layer. Can be mixed with camphor oil. The procedures are the same. Helps well with the onset of a runny nose.

In our time, the drug sex-lubri-kant with menthol has appeared. It is applied as follows: a small amount of water-soluble, fat-free and non-toxic odorless lubricant moisturizes the genitals for maximum pleasure from intimacy. The lubricant is compatible with latex and rubber products.

It is also mentioned in the Bible: cinnamon was one of the spices that God told Moses to take with him from Egypt. The ancient Egyptians used it in the fight against epidemics and for embalming. The Greeks and Romans bought it from the Arabs. The Portuguese (in the 16th century) and the Dutch (in the 17th century) cinnamon appeared as a result of the colonization of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). The Dutch began to breed her, and she became more famous in the West.

Formic acid- The unique properties of the famous oriental balms have long been known. Oriental balm "Asterisk" is created from a combination of extracts of medicinal herbs and essential oils (i used in traditional oriental medicine) and fortified with formic acid. Formic acid has been used since time immemorial to relieve pain of various origins and to heal many ailments.

Natural formic acid contains a large amount of organic zinc components. And zinc, as you know, is an antioxidant and immunostimulant. It protects the body from free radicals, which play a key role in the development of atherosclerosis and a number of other diseases, and also stimulates the immune system, contributing to the treatment of chronic diseases. It turns out that in its action natural formic acid is similar to such widely used medicines as vitamin C or ginseng preparations. Formic acid has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, warming and penetrating tonic properties.

Preparations based on formic acid are enriched with extracts of medicinal herbs and oils used in traditional medicine and have a strong aromatherapeutic effect. They are recommended to be used (in combination with traditional methods of treatment):

In recent years, doctors are increasingly turning to the so-called non-traditional methods of treatment (despite the fact that this particular treatment has been tested by many generations of our ancestors). These include insect therapy, that is, the use of insects for medical purposes. Balms, gels, and creams based on formic acid have appeared. These are, in particular, Muravivit balm, Ant foot cream, Muravivit massage with sea minerals, etc.

1 comment for “Asterisk balm: composition and application”

With a runny nose, an asterisk helps well if it is rubbed at night between the toes and hands (where there are, as it were, membranes). It is even better if you put on woolen socks and gloves after that and go straight to bed. In the morning, the runny nose was gone, so we treat ourselves as a whole family during the period of colds. You can also rub the chest and calves of her legs with a cold.
