What is Balmed Hermal Plus and when is it used?

Balmed Hermal Plus is a medicinal oil bath. It was developed to treat dry, sensitive and itchy skin. The soybean oil contained in Balmed Hermal Plus is distributed in the bath water and forms a thin film on the skin while bathing. Water evaporation from the skin is reduced, which has a positive effect on the elasticity of the horny layer and relieves itching. An antipruritic effect is achieved through the addition of polidocanol.Balmed Hermal Plus is therefore used for low-fat, dry and itchy skin.After consultation with your doctor or pharmacist, Balmed Hermal Plus can also be used to support the treatment of skin diseases that are associated with dehydration, especially if they are accompanied by itching, such as atopic eczema (Neu rodermatitis), chronic eczema, senile itching and for the supportive treatment of psoriasis.

When should Balmed Hermal Plus not be used?

How do you use Balmed Hermal Plus?

Shake the preparation before use.The frequency of use of Balmed Hermal Plus depends on the type and extent of the symptoms and should be determined individually.Unless otherwise prescribed, 2-3 full baths are generally taken weekly. If necessary, daily use is recommended, e.g. for infants and small children.

The duration of the bath should also be determined individually, but should not exceed 15-20 minutes. For infants and small children, an application time of just a few minutes is sufficient. The bathing water temperature should not exceed 37 °C. A lower bathing water temperature (around 32 °C) is more favorable for skin oiling andch more suitable for the treatment of itching and to be observed in particular for children. Balmed Hermal Plus is added to the bath water (not the other way around) and mixed in until it is evenly distributed.

The inner part of the screw cap can be used as a measuring cup to measure the required amount.

For a full bath (approx. 150 l) use 30 ml (2 measuring cups), for 1 children's bath (approx. 25 l) use 5 ml (= 1/3 measuring cup), for 1 partial bath (5 l). add 1 ml (= 1 squirt so that the bottom of the measuring cup is covered) Balmed Hermal Plus.Balmed Hermal Plus can also be used as a shower bath. In these cases, the preparation should first be spread undiluted on the moistened skin and then showered off.

In order not to influence the desired refatting, no soap should be used. Drying off too much should also be avoided, as this rubs off part of the greasy film.
