Baume Saint Bernard: Information and indications

Baume Saint Bernard is an analgesic indicated for the adjunctive treatment of muscular and tendino-ligamentary pain in adults, more specifically tears, contusions, sprains and tendonitis.

Baume Saint-Bernard is a cream that relieves pain by combining 3 actions:

- a cold effect with an anaesthetic effect thanks to the presence of camphor and menthol,

- then a warming effect thanks to capsicum (a chili pepper extract),

- and finally an analgesic action thanks to amyl salicylate, an aspirin derivative, which provides local pain relief through its anti-inflammatory action.

This anti-pain ointment contains a salicylic compound, terpenes (camphor, levomenthol) and substances with a revulsive effect (stimulating blood flow). Its warming effect and analgesic properties help relieve pain.

Baume Saint Bernard can be used in cases of

- muscular contractures,

- painful aches and pains,

- tendinopathy,

- for people with painful joints (rheumatic conditions, for example),

- following a blow with contusions, bruises and/or bumps (but not open wounds),

- or in cases of torticollis or backache.
