1 Spectrum of use of Vietnamese balm

The asterisk is available in liquid form and in the form of ointment. Balsam is characterized by a complex composition of herbs included in it. All of them have an irritating effect and do not cause burns.

Vietnamese balm is used with:

• headache;
• cold;
• is a common cold;
• insect bites;
• articular pain;
• sprains and bruises.

This is an incomplete list. Here are only the most common cases. The current irritating effect on the skin makes the asterisk the most popular means of affecting acupuncture points.

2 Causes of ailment

Pain sensations occur when nerve endings irritate. The reasons can be very different - from mechanical exposure from the outside to the degeneration of tissues surrounding the nerve.

Headache is, of course, not a disease, but a symptom. It can occur as a consequence:

• swelling, that is, increasing the size of cells and tissues due to accumulated water;
• vascular spasms;
• infectious and inflammatory diseases of any localization;
• injury;
• overwork;
• intoxication;
• hormonal changes;
• neoplasm.
• stress.

3 Treatment of headache with rubbing

For this purpose it is better to use an asterisk in the form of an ointment, since its effect lasts for several hours.

Depending on the location of the headache, the balm is applied in the following cases:

1. Aching in the forehead. Most often it is a symptom of colds. The nose is stretched below eye level, but above the wings. For a while, balm will irritate the eyes, perhaps tearing and redness.
2. Pulsating or aching pain in temples. Usually it is a sign of migraine or hypertensive crisis. The whiskey and the upper part of the forehead are stretched at the border of the hair. In addition, you can achieve the desired effect by rubbing the central part of the forehead closer to the bridge of the nose.
3. Severe aching pain in the neck and occiput. This is a clear sign of exacerbation of cervical osteochondrosis, increased blood pressure, emotional overexcitation. You need to rub the neck to the hair, and also the head behind the ears, and on the face - the areas adjacent to the ears in the upper part of them.
4. Almost all headaches, except for a strong hypertonic crisis, can and should be rubbed with the balm of the soles of the feet. The fact is that in the feet is concentrated a large number of energy centers responsible for these or other organs. The centers responsible for the part of the head are concentrated mainly in the region of the toes. However, rubbing the entire foot follows from the considerations that the causes of the headache are not known, or are known quite approximately.

It is necessary to exercise caution in trituration of soles during severe hypertensive crises because the slightest increase in pressure in severe conditions can further increase pressure and increase pain.

4 Using a sprocket for impact on energy centers

Acupressure with Vietnamese balm allows you to achieve the desired result quickly and without medication. The impact points for headaches are many. The most important of them are located:

• at the outer corner of the eye( only point pressure, without circular movements);
• slightly above the outer edge of the eyebrows;
• in the center of the temporal fossa on both sides of the head;
• in the pit between the nose and the inner corner of the eye( only pressing);
• third eye or a point between the inner edges of the eyebrows on the bridge of the nose;
• on the temporal bone in the scalp two centimeters above the upper edge of the auricle;
• in the corner between the thumb and forefinger of the hands, where the first and second metacarpal bones meet;
• in the recess between the elbow and radius of the forearm two centimeters above the wrist fold;
• at the inner end of the fold, formed when the arm is bent at the elbow joint;
• on the second toe, above the nail by 2 centimeters;
• just above the fovea, located between the fourth finger and the little finger;
• on the big toes, 3 mm above the inner edge of the nail;
• on the outer edge of the little toes of the legs, in the pit between the finger and the bones of the metatarsus;
• on the inner edge of the foot in the pit located at the highest point of the arch of the foot;
• on the inside of the foot at 1 cm above the shank bone.

All symmetric points must be massed either simultaneously, or in turn, but in one session. The main and the most important are the points located on the head. However, one should not neglect points of other localization.

In addition to the cases when only pressure is required, the massage is done by rubbing the balm at this point in a circular motion clockwise.

Vietnamese balm is a remedy effective and reliable. However, one should also be careful here. First, it is necessary to take measures to ensure that the irritating ointment or liquid does not get on the mucous membrane. Secondly, when exposed to acupuncture points, try to determine the desired location as accurately as possible, otherwise you can cause an undesirable effect. In addition, do not massage many points at once. In one session, irritation from three to five centers is permissible. Over time, you can determine for yourself the most effective points and influence them.
