Yellow balm from Thailand - general information

The Wang Prom Herb company appeared in 1995. Its founder is Dr. Wang Prom Chelerm, who has been repeatedly awarded by the country's Ministry of Health for unique recipes collected over many years. Wang Prom's company specializes in the production of medicinal products based on ancient recipes of Chinese and Thai medicine. The main feature of the medicines is only natural composition and no chemical components.

For a long time, the doctor practiced herbal treatment in a temple in Bangkok, and he prepared the first balm according to a personal recipe in 1997. The drug turned out to be very effective and quickly gained popularity. Over the next few years, the doctor created balms using other recipes, all of them differed in their therapeutic effect, but they were united by one common feature - an exclusively natural composition based on the power of medicinal herbs.

In 2004, a ginger-based balm was recognized as the best in Thailand. In the category "Best Herbal Products" it received the highest award - five stars.

In 2005, Wang Prom received a special category government certificate. The document confirmed that all the company's products meet international quality standards, are safe and are produced in compliance with the production process. The Wang Prom Herb assortment consists of ointments and balms of various effects, as well as preparations for face and body care.

Directions for use (instructions)

The yellow product Wang Prom Plai is applied in a thin layer to the affected area and, massaging the area, rubbed into the skin for 7-10 minutes until completely absorbed. The procedure is repeated 3-4 times a day for treatment, 1 time for disease prevention.

For headaches and to relieve stress, the product is rubbed into the temples. For a cold, apply the remedy to the chest area and wrap it in a warm cloth.

For external use only.

A course of treatment

The duration of use of yellow Plai balm from Wang Prom depends on the severity and form of the disease. To relieve inflammation and acute pain, the drug is used for 5 to 10 days. If the patient has a chronic form of joint disease, the course of treatment can last up to one and a half months.

What does the balm help with?

They say this balm can even relieve headaches and other types of pain. Thais use it even when they or their child has a cold. Helps relieve ARVI and acute respiratory infections syndromes, pierces the nose and warms the throat. It even helps relieve all kinds of itching and redness from any irritations or insect bites.

The Thais are not afraid to use it on children, as it is ideal for even the most sensitive skin, like that of children.

Below are instructions for use

Before using yellow Thai balm, you must wash your hands and the area where it will be applied with plain clean water. To apply the balm, you can simply rub in in a circular motion. The first effect of the balm is cooling, although before it there may still be a slight tingling sensation at the application site.

After the area has cooled, the balm begins the second phase of activation - warming up. In order to properly apply the balm for various pains, you need to understand how to apply it correctly to the areas. For example, in order to prevent headaches, the balm is rubbed into the temporal parts of the head; in case of severe pain, it is also applied to the frontal and occipital parts.

If the headaches have a strictly defined, monochromatic character, then you need to rub the balm into those areas where such pain is present, and do not forget about the temples; you also need to thoroughly rub the balm into them with massage circular movements when applying.

If you have a cold and want to use this balm to treat a cough or nasal congestion, then it must be applied directly under the nose. As soon as you inhale, the vapors of the balm will enter the nasopharynx and will gradually gently warm up the sinuses.

This procedure will allow you to pierce your nose and cure sore throat; of course, this method will also help reduce swelling of the mucous membranes. Since the balm fights the primary sources of the spread of infection, other cold symptoms will gradually begin to go away, at least that’s what Thai doctors say.

For back pain

Here, of course, a massage with yellow balm will be recommended. Typically, Thai masters take massage oil that is suitable for a person or simply likes its smell and mix it with Thai yellow balm, this method of treating back pain is considered almost the most effective in the country. When applying, the master makes circular rotations with his palms and gradually heats up one or another area of ​​the back.

Such a massage will not only cure back pain, as Thai experts say, but will also relax your body, allow you to forget about your problems and let go of the pain. It should be remembered that balms are not able to cure any serious health problems. If you have some kind of diagnosis that causes you to have back pain, then first of all you need to listen to the recommendations of your doctor, who will prescribe the right treatment.

You should immediately warn the doctor that you are also going to use Thai yellow balm as a concomitant drug along with the medications he prescribes. The doctor should be aware of this point, since the components of the treatment may not match or may be completely incompatible with any prescribed medications.

Important! In this case, the yellow balm can act strictly as an additional remedy, and not as a primary treatment.

Any primary and secondary treatment has its own indications and contraindications. It should be remembered that yellow Thai balm can only be used externally; under no circumstances should you use it internally.

You should not use the balm on open wounds; you should not use it to treat the effects of burns on the affected areas of the skin; if you know that you have inflammation of the mucous membranes, then you should not apply this balm to them either. After using the balm, always wash your hands thoroughly so that the balm does not get from your hands into your body through food intake. If the balm gets into your eyes, you need to rinse them very thoroughly with water.

Advice! When using any product, doctors recommend checking for allergies to its components. This can be done in two ways. First, read the composition in advance before purchasing, take an allergen test and make sure that you are not allergic to this composition. The second method is quite old and almost everyone knows about it, so I’ll just remind you - apply a little balm on your wrist, maybe even a small drop, then wait about 20 minutes, if no signs of allergy are noticed, then you can safely rub the balm further.

To ensure that the balm does not lose its medicinal qualities

...or simply has not deteriorated, it must be stored in a dark and cool place. There are a lot of reviews about Thai yellow balm, I can say from my own experience, since I often come to Thailand and often take various balms with me. Thai yellow balm really helps me with headaches and colds.

In addition, I try to keep myself in shape and play sports, so it helps me after workouts and if my back hurts. I simply apply it with massage movements to the problem or painful area and after some time the pain really goes away, as if it never happened.

Whether to buy a balm or not is a personal choice for everyone, I can say that every time I visit Thailand I bring out the yellow balm, I really like it when used and it is used sparingly, of course, if you approach its use wisely.

If you decide to buy, then it is best to take it from a Thai pharmacy. Some take it already in Moscow, but no one has checked the honesty of sellers in Russia. But Thai pharmacies are really ready to offer a good product, for the sale of which they have a license and all the necessary documents. In addition to documents, pharmacies practically guarantee the effect of the balm.

I really don’t recommend buying balms at any markets.

...or even more so from street sellers, if there is a chance that by saving money you will simply run into a fake. In the worst case, you can be poisoned by the composition and vapors, or you can buy a pacifier in which clay has been mixed and painted in the desired color. If you don’t have the opportunity to fly to Thailand and buy this balm for yourself there, then you can resort to the help of friends or friends of your friends and order this balm from them if they want to visit this country soon.

I know that in Russia there is also a specialized online store that sells licensed Thai balms, but recently the number of these stores has grown greatly and the authenticity is already in question.

It is important to understand that there are many balms in Thailand and their palette is huge. Do not think that Thai yellow balsam is produced somewhere in only one place. Among the locals you can find out which companies really produce it with high quality,

Among the currently known manufacturers you can find the following manufacturers:

• Wangprom
• Samunpraytaxin
• Sambhesaj
• Tiger Balm
• Kongka Herb
• Hamar Osos
• Novolife
• Hamman Muay
• Green Herb
• Taisho

Customer reviews about Thai balms

There are many reviews on the Internet about the use of Thai balms, and most of them talk about the high effectiveness of the drugs and the need to carefully read the instructions.

I am a professional gymnast and know first-hand about injuries. But a week ago I seriously bruised my ankle - there was even a question about canceling my participation in the next championship. Then I took out my green Thai balm, which my friends brought me from vacation. He has helped me out with injuries more than once, and now he helped me within just a few minutes. I applied it for a couple of days - and now I’m back in action!

I bought a balm with scorpion venom in Thailand. The seller promised that I would forget about my sore joints. And he didn’t lie! I’ve been using it for two months now and my joints hurt much less! My joint tumors even shrank—the doctor who did the MRI was very surprised by this result. I’ll buy a couple more balms with different effects!

Friends gave me white tiger balm and said it would help with my chronic bronchitis. When the cough was choking me again, I took out a jar of balm. The spasm went away quite quickly and that night for the first time in a week I slept without choking from coughing. I haven’t completely gotten rid of bronchitis, but the symptoms now go away faster and easier.

Proper application and use of Thai ointments

The biggest mistake when using ointments from Thailand is using a large amount of balm. It is very economical and concentrated, so take about 1-2 grams of ointment at a time and rub it into the sore spot.

After applying the ointment and rubbing for 3-5 minutes, try not to move too much, let the ointment absorb into the skin.

Ointments are used externally only! Do not take inside! When rubbing your nose, make sure that the ointment does not get into the mucous membrane and eyes. In case of contact, rinse with plenty of water.

Method of using Thai balms for bruises, injuries, fractures and pain in muscles/joints.

Recommendation for use for bruises, injuries and fractures:

Clean the affected area. Apply a sufficient amount of balm and rub in with gentle massaging movements until the balm is absorbed. Apply to the affected area two to three times daily. Avoid direct contact with the wound. You can make a compress with cellophane (just not with black balm!) or simply tie a woolen cloth around the sore spot if you want to enhance the warming effect.

Recommended balms for minor bruises:

• Thai green balm with barleria Sabai Balm
• Ginger balm according to the recipe of Dr. Mo Sink Sabai Balm
• Any Thai balm that comes to hand, including liquid and even oil contained in Thai inhalers.

Yes, yes) For a minor bruise, you can use any Thai balm that you have on hand.

For such occasions, I carry a miniature Thai balm with me in my purse. Sometimes even several - green, with barleria and black. I use black only for serious injuries, it’s too “vigorous” for me.

The most effective Thai balms for serious bruises:

• Black Royal Balm 108 herbs Sabai Balm
• Natural Thai tiger balm with beeswax “25 herbs”

These balms are very effective for serious bruises, cracks and fractures, as well as for myalgia, pinched nerves, acute and severe pain in muscles and joints.

It is very effective to combine these 3 types of balm, alternating their application. Recently, a friend fell off her bike and broke her shoulder. The fracture was complex and did not want to heal - the x-ray showed no changes, the arm hurt and did not want to move.

The situation changed when I brought her black and togro balms. She applied brindle twice a day and black once a day. The pain began to subside within a week, after another week the arm began to move better, and after another week, an x-ray showed that the bone had begun to heal and the operation was canceled. Of course, in addition to balms, she started drinking cissus quadrangularis, a complex of vitamins with calcium and collagen, but balms also played a role.

Both me and my family and friends, my circle and our clients have a lot of amazing results using these 2 balms. They are the most powerful of all, but black is very hot for some - it is somehow very selective - for some it causes a strong burning sensation and redness of the skin, while for others there is no reaction at all. But in both cases it gives its healing effect.
