Medicinal properties
Despite the fact that in our time, drug treatment has pushed traditional medicine into the background, beekeeping products are still in great demand today. Thus, there is a wide range of treatments where bee venom is used and is one of the main components. in the basis of the anti-rheumatic cream “Sofya” .
Thanks to the main component, the drug penetrates deep into the tissue and affects the inflamed area from the inside. This beekeeping product has long been recommended for joint diseases. Due to its healing properties, it affects the strengthening of blood capillaries, making them more elastic and durable.
It should be noted that the use of bee venom can also be found in cosmetology. The medicinal properties of this substance act as follows: after applying the cream to a certain area of the skin, the brain receives signals from the body about the sting and sends all its strength to self-recovery, while increasing the natural production of substances important for the body - collagen and elastin.
As a result, the skin instantly becomes firm and elastic. Using a cosmetic cream for the body and face that contains bee venom will effectively smooth out wrinkles, renew skin tissue, and generally have a beneficial effect on metabolism.
Natural oils and extracts of the ointment restore impaired metabolism, effectively affecting areas of salt deposits that accumulate on the surfaces of the joints. They also actively restore cell functions and accelerate their regeneration, while activating the protective properties of the skin.
In a selected combination, oils have a moisturizing, soothing and relaxing effect. Sea buckthorn oil, which is included in the composition, is an important natural antioxidant. In a balanced combination of bee venom and comfrey extract, the ointment has a natural warming property.
- Water with silver ions actively affects the sore spot, relieving inflammation, and also plays an important antibacterial role.
- Collagen hydrolyzate affects the bonding of ligaments and the restoration of joints. Thus, the body cream will be useful not only for treatment, but also for preventive purposes for older people whose bodies produce less useful substances.
- Thanks to the emulsion complex of the drug, the active components quickly penetrate deep through the skin into the affected tissues, while maintaining their healing properties. Beeswax preserves the duration of action of the medicinal components and thereby affects the overall shelf life of the ointment.
Body cream "Sofya" is an excellent alternative to treatment with apitherapy (bee stings). The cream only gives a pleasant warm feeling and, without painful effects, has a beneficial effect on the sore spot, while relieving inflammation and restoring bone tissue and cells.

Sophia cream with leeches for feet, reviews
I have to move a lot during the working day, and in the evening I suffer from heaviness, swelling and itching in my legs. There are no diseases yet, but if nothing is done, I think problems will appear soon. The pharmacy recommended Sophia cream on leeches. I noticed the effect after the first application, I felt a chill, the swelling quickly went away and my legs stopped hurting. The cream is easily absorbed and starts working immediately. A wonderful tool!
With age, my veins have become visible; when I walk for long periods, I am bothered by aching pain, swelling, and the veins literally pulsate. A friend advised me to buy a cooling cream made from Sofya leeches from a domestic manufacturer. Before this I bought some other Chinese cream. But there was almost no effect. I immediately liked the Sophia cream; after the first use I felt a pleasant lightness, and the pain became significantly less.
Directions for use and instructions
The cream must be applied to a clean and dry place. The instructions for use, which are located directly inside the package, state: the ointment must be applied in an even, thin layer to the sore and inflamed area. For effective treatment, it is necessary to rub the medicine in with massage movements for 2-3 minutes. When you rub the damaged and sore area in this way, the pain will go away and the joints will begin to work fully.
The procedure must be repeated 3 times a day for 3-5 weeks. To improve the result and speed up the healing process, after absorbing the ointment, you need to bandage the application site with a warm, thick cloth and take a horizontal position.
The drug can be used either independently or in complex treatment with other pharmaceuticals.
Sophia cream for rosacea on the face, reviews
Over time, spider veins became noticeable on my face. The cosmetologist advised me to try a cream with a cooling effect of leech extract. Of course, it did not completely remove rosacea, but the vessels became less noticeable after just a couple of weeks. A normal product at a very inexpensive price.
I had a faint vascular network on my cheeks, which was especially noticeable on frosty days and after a sauna. The doctor advised me to buy Sophia cream with leeches. I applied the cream morning and evening, after 20 days the rosacea disappeared completely. I advise everyone who suffers from spider veins: if they go away on their face, they will probably go away on their legs too.
