Tell me more about its medical value:

Treating burns For small-scale mild burns, apply essential balm directly to the burned area once every three to four hours. If the blister is broken, you can apply wind oil essence first, and then tetracycline eye ointment, which is better. This method has obvious analgesic effect on scald, and it is not easy to be infected, scabbed and scarred after healing.
To treat tinea pedis, wash your feet with warm water and dry them. If there are blisters, you can puncture them with acupuncture needle first, then suck them up with cotton wool, and then rub the affected area with wind oil essence, once a day 1-2 times, usually taking effect in 3-5 days.
After brushing your teeth and gargling, apply wind oil essence to the affected area twice a day, and it will be better to apply it again before going to bed.

Treating frostbite Many people get frostbite in winter. When chilblain is not broken, apply essential balm evenly to the affected area, which has the effect of relieving pain and swelling, 2-3 times a day, usually 2-3 days to recover. Note: If chilblain has festered, it should not be used.
However, it must be pointed out that we should not underestimate this small essential balm, and its use is also taboo.
1. Pregnant women are prohibited.
Camphor, one of the main components of essential balm, has certain toxicity. After camphor enters the human body, glucose phosphate dehydrogenase in normal people will quickly combine with it, making it a non-toxic substance, and then excreted with urine, so there will be no adverse reactions. However, due to physiological changes, the content of glucose phosphate dehydrogenase in pregnant women decreases, especially if the essential balm is used excessively in the first three months of pregnancy, camphor will be absorbed into the body through the skin, and then enter the amniotic cavity through the placental barrier to act on the fetus, which can lead to fetal death and abortion in severe cases.
2. Pregnant women and newborns are forbidden to enter.
In newborns, glucose phosphate dehydrogenase is also lacking. If the parturient uses a lot of essential balm, camphor will penetrate into the blood through the delicate skin and mucosa of the newborn with the smell, which will rupture the red blood cells and dissolve them into bilirubin. Excessive bilirubin content in the blood will also combine with brain cells through the meninges, causing jaundice in infants, symptoms such as yellowing of the whole body, blue lips, brown urine, failure to suck milk, crying weakness, drowsiness, and nervous system symptoms such as convulsions and convulsions. Even after treatment, the baby's brain function may be damaged. Similarly, children under the age of three should also use it with caution.
3. Patients with deep second-degree and above burns are prohibited (especially after blisters burst, it is easy to cause pain). Skin injuries and ulcers are prohibited.
4. If there are occasional allergic reactions, rashes and itching after external use, the drug should be stopped. Anyone who is allergic to this product should not use it in the future. People who are allergic to facial smearing may also cause pigmentation and affect facial beauty. Ms Amy had better not wipe her face.
The essential balm is usually used externally, but it can also be taken orally when necessary, with 4-6 drops for adults at a time. However, it is reported that adults have been addicted to this product for a long time, which should attract people's attention.
