Externally

According to the instructions for use, Vinilin can be used in pure form or in 20% solutions obtained from substances in which the balm is dissolved. The product is applied to the wound or soaked in gauze pads and applied to the skin.

The surface can be covered for better absorption of the balm. The procedure is carried out 1-2 times a day, closing the wound for 1 hour.

For mastitis, fabric soaked in Vinylin is applied to the seals on the mammary gland and fixed.

For the mucous membranes of the mouth

For stomatitis or other lesions of the oral mucosa, soak a cotton swab on a stick in Vinilin and apply the product to the erosion. This method is used when minor areas of mucous membranes are affected.

Another way to use it for large areas of ulcers is to rinse with the prepared solution. You should treat your mouth 3-4 times a day. In this case, the composition can be swallowed. After application, a protective film is formed on the surface of the mucous membrane, protecting against irritation and accelerating healing.

For children, erosions with stomatitis are carefully lubricated, keeping them from drinking and eating for 1-2 hours.

Information: the balm is often used to lubricate the mucous membranes for a sore throat, but the healing properties of Vinilin for tonsillitis have not been proven.

Gastrointestinal pathologies

To treat the mucous membranes of the digestive tract, it is necessary to wait for the maximum emptying of the stomach and ensure prolonged contact with the medicine. Therefore, Shostakovsky balm is taken 5 hours after meals (dinner) at night. On the first day of therapy, the volume of Vinilin is 1 teaspoon. Further:

1. For gastritis with increased production of gastric juice, take a dessert spoon of balm every other day for 10-14 days.
2. For ulcerative processes of the gastrointestinal tract - 1 dessert spoon per day for 2-3 weeks.

After using the balm, do not eat.

Rectally

External hemorrhoids or anal fissures are simply lubricated with balm or gauze napkins soaked in the product are applied. After applying Vinilin, you need to lie down for 20 minutes.

The drug is applied 3-4 times a day. The entire course lasts from a week to two.

For rectal insertion, a rectoscope or rubber bulb is used. Before administration, the intestines should be emptied. Vinyl should be slightly heated to a warm state, the volume should be at least 25 ml.

The balm helps well with non-advanced hemorrhoids. If the dynamics are positive, the course is completed, and after a week's break the treatment is repeated.

For frequent exacerbations, the balm is also used prophylactically in non-acute periods - once a day at night. The course is a week.

The same therapeutic actions are carried out for dysentery to reduce inflammation of the rectum.

“During the move, I lifted a lot of weights, I probably overstrained myself. Hemorrhoids came out. I didn’t want to go to the doctor; my new neighbor recommended Shostakovsky’s balm. The husband cursed and said that they only received treatment during the war, because there was nothing else. But after 5 days I felt better. I completed the course, and then was treated again, although there was no exacerbation. It’s been 7 years now and I haven’t had any more hemorrhoids.”

“I treat my girls’ stomatitis with Vinilin. My mother treated me with it too. The balm is thick, covers wounds well and remains on the skin. A neighbor treats an ulcer with it and is also happy. Many medicines have been used for many centuries, but new ones often don’t even have time to be tested, they are rather sold.”

Treatment of stomatitis

Inflammation of the oral mucosa is a common occurrence. The process often causes discomfort for adults and children. Dentists prescribe Vinilin for the treatment of stomatitis, since the drug kills microbes, viruses and fungi, and heals wounds. As a result, a protective film is formed on the affected mucosa, which acts as a shield, protecting wounds upon contact with food and reducing pain. Dentists prescribe the drug in the form of a solution for rinsing the mouth, and lubricate wounds with balm.

Vinilin for sore throat

Shostakovsky's balm is used to treat sore throat, but as an effective traditional medicine, it is not a drug for etiotropic or symptomatic therapy. For treatment, soak a cotton swab in the balm and lubricate the tonsils 3-4 times a day. The product can be used while taking antibiotics or other medications.

Soak the fabric in the balm and apply it to the seal. The balm is effective for the treatment of inflamed cervical mucosa (leukoplakia).

Vinyline for hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are a disease in which the veins of the rectum become thrombotic or dilated, become inflamed, or become nodular. To eliminate the resulting pain, Vinylin balm is suitable. External hemorrhoids can be treated by applying a cloth soaked in the product to the nodes that appear near the anus. To do this, it needs to be placed between the buttocks for half an hour. In this case, you need to lie on your stomach. The compress should be applied 2 to 4 times a day, taking into account the severity of the pain.

As an alternative procedure, you can smear the manifestations of hemorrhoids with Vinilin several times a day. The course lasts at least one week and rarely more than fourteen days. The balm also heals rectal fissures. For internal hemorrhoids, a microenema is performed. Instead of a needle, a tube 7 centimeters long is put on a disposable syringe and a warm drug in a volume of at least 2 ml is injected into the rectum. In advanced forms of the disease, the effectiveness decreases, and Vinilin acts more as a means to reduce pain.

For burns

Vinilin ointment prevents the formation of blisters after thermal burns at home (after boiling water, hot oil). If the skin is damaged, apply a thick layer of balm to it.
