Ointment FAQ
The results and their manifestation are always individual in nature. They depend on the type and severity of the damage and the reactivity of the patient’s organism. In simpler cases, the ailment may be alleviated or may disappear after only a few days or weeks, while in more difficult cases, repeated treatment courses may be necessary.
No ointment is safe if it is not used correctly. The Colocynth ointment is intended only for external use and any other use may cause complications. Problems may occur if the person using the ointment is allergic to one of the ointment’s components. Therefore, it is advisable to test your reaction to the ointment before beginning the treatment: apply a thin layer of ointment to an area the size of 3–4 square centimetres on the back of your hand or the inside of your forearm. Monitor the area of skin where the ointment was applied for 2–4 hours for any changes. Itching, redness or a rash all indicate that you are allergic to one of the ointment’s components and should not use the ointment to treat yourself.
The ointment does not contain any preservatives. The Colocynth ointment is made of natural oils and extracts.
First of all, it must be said that a very small amount of Colocynth ointment is needed for one procedure. There is no point in wasting the ointment and applying it as a thick layer as this will not increase its effect. If you apply the ointment once or twice a day as a thin layer, there will be enough of it for several courses of treatment. All in all, the Colosynth ointment will prove to be very cheap and effective to use. Before purchasing a large jarful, you might want to try out the little jar that contains 10 grams of ointment. This will allow you to find out how the ointment works, after which you can order more of it.
