Vishnevsky Balm

Vishnevsky balm has been used for almost a century. Simple in composition and familiar to many, it helps treat purulent irritations, wounds, burns, abscesses, and frostbite. Thanks to its ability to draw out pus and promote tissue recovery, the support remains relevant even today.

How to use Vishnevsky balm correctly

Apply externally to clean, affected skin. It is commonly used as a compress. Soak a cotton pad or gauze in the balm, place it on the skin, and secure it with a bandage. Such compresses are usually left on for 6 to 12 hours, then replaced with a fresh one.

Before application, the skin should be cleansed and dried. In cases of purulent wounds, it is important to prevent irritation from spreading. Repeat applications until the wound begins to clear and heal.

If anxiety or sleep issues worsen during recovery, a doctor may also recommend sedatives like valerian or Novo-Passit. These are also available on our website.

What’s the difference between liniment and balm?

Some packages label the product as “liniment” instead of “balm.” This is not an error -liniment is a type of topical formulation, but more fluid than traditional balms. Because of its lighter texture, liniment spreads more easily, absorbs faster, and is convenient for use over larger skin areas.

The classic formulation is “Vishnevsky’s balsamic liniment” and contains birch tar, xeroform, and castor oil. These components provide strong soothing and cleansing effects. While the packaging lists it as liniment, people often refer to it as an balm due to its similar method of use.

How Vishnevsky balm helps with wounds and burns

This balsam works on multiple fronts:

• reduces irritation
• disinfects due to the cleansing effects of tar and xeroform
• increases blood flow in damaged tissues
• helps cleanse wounds from pus
• accelerates recovery

In cases of burns, the balm forms a protective layer on the skin, lowers the risk of irritation, and relieves swelling. It’s also used for trophic ulcers, boils, felons, and frostbite. Despite its strong smell, the natural ingredients continue to prove effective.

Always consult a healthcare provider before using this product on deep or extensive wounds. Extra caution is needed for use on the face and mucous membranes.
