MERCURIALIS PERENNIS 10% rheumatism, inflammatory skin disease ointment
mercurialis perennis medicinal uses:
Mercurialis spp. have been used since ancient times in traditional Spanish medicine. For example, in the Middle Ages, infusions made from Mercurialis spp. aerial parts were used to treat constipation, bronchitis, rheumatism, gout, and gynecological disorders, as well as to relieve swellings.
Mercurialis perennis ointment Weleda is used for suppurating, poorly healing wounds and eczema. For example, midwives recommend this ointment to breastfeeding mothers to treat inflamed nipples. Mercurialis perennis, the dog's mercury is characterized by the "sulphurous" note that is effective in inflammation. It is therefore used particularly where there are acute to chronic inflammatory processes. Due to the balanced composition of medicinal plants and natural ointment base, the ointment leaves a pleasantly soft feeling on the skin.
For purulent-inflammatory skin diseases.
