Saint Bernard Balm Cream Tube is used as an adjunctive local treatment for muscular and tendino-ligamentary pain in adults (cramps, aches, strains, contractures, muscle tears, lumbago, torticollis).
Local adjunctive treatment of muscular and tendino-ligamentary pain in adults.
Muscle aches and cramps are usually benign, reflecting overuse of a muscle. Rarely requiring medical advice, they can be relieved by self-medication treatments such as baume saint bernard.
Baume Saint Bernard is an over-the-counter medication for muscle pain, available from our online pharmacy.
Muscle pain can occur in a wide range of situations: cramps, aches, strains, contractures, muscle tears, lumbago, torticollis.
A cramp is violent, unexpected and temporary muscle pain.
Better than stretching, massage with this balm relaxes the aching or contracted muscle, without requiring any effort. It allows blood to circulate and waste products to evacuate better after physical exercise. With this anti-inflammatory cream, massage is one of the most enjoyable routines for athletes.
Saint Bernard Balm, presented in a convenient tube of cream, is specifically designed to provide effective local treatment for muscle pain. Whether you're suffering from cramps, aches, strains, contractures or torn muscles, this balm provides fast, targeted relief. Its rich, penetrating formulation acts directly at the source of pain, enabling accelerated recovery and a quicker return to your daily activities without discomfort.
In addition to its beneficial effects on muscles, Saint Bernard Balm is also a valuable ally in the treatment of tendino-ligament pain. Lumbago, torticollis and other tendon and ligament tensions find this balm an effective remedy for relieving pain and promoting healing. Local application provides rapid, targeted action, reducing inflammation and pain for improved mobility and quality of life.
The rich but non-greasy texture of Saint Bernard Balm ensures rapid absorption, enabling easy application without leaving unpleasant residues on skin or clothing. The cream is easily applied to affected areas, offering immediate comfort and a soothing sensation. Ideal for use after physical exertion, this balm can be incorporated into your skincare routine to prevent the onset of muscular and tendino-ligamentary pain, or to treat existing conditions.
We also offer Biofreeze Spray Action par le Froid 118 ml, at the best price in our online pharmacy.
In the case of osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease, hyaluronic acid can be injected intra-articularly.
FOR ADULTS ONLY.
Apply to the skin.

The recommended duration of treatment should not exceed 5 days.
Wash hands after use.
Warming up, a balanced diet, sufficient hydration and stretching are just some of the tips to follow to avoid muscle pain.
How to use Saint Bernard Balm for best results?
Apply the balm directly to the painful area, massaging gently to encourage penetration. Use two or three times a day, as required.
Can Saint Bernard Balm be used on all skin types?
Yes, the balm is formulated to be well tolerated by most skin types. However, it is advisable to test on a small area before using on a larger scale.
Is baume Saint Bernard only suitable for athletes?
No, although particularly appreciated by sportsmen and women for its effectiveness on post-exertion muscular and tendino-ligamentary pain, it is suitable for any adult suffering from these types of pain, whatever their origin.
Precautions for use

Excipients :
Stearic acid, ethylene glycol monostearate, light liquid kerosene, lavender essential oil, trolamine, purified water, shea butter.
Special warnings
Baume Saint Bernard contains terpene derivatives which, in excessive doses, may cause neurological accidents such as convulsions in infants and children.
Follow dosage and use instructions, in particular:
Cramp results in functional impotence: the muscle or muscle group concerned can no longer function normally and play its role.
Sore muscles are common after heavy, unusual exertion. They appear within 2 days of exertion.
These muscular aches and pains are not serious, and heal on their own within a week or so: treating aches and pains is relatively easy.
Stretching is a sudden lengthening of the muscle that causes severe, instant pain. They can occur during violent effort, after a blow or when cold. The pain is localized when hot, but can become diffuse later on, being imperceptible at rest. To treat a strain, rest is imperative: the length of time varies according to the extent of the strain.
Contractures can lead to tearing if, despite the pain, the muscle continues to exert itself. To treat a contracture, you need to stop and rest.
Presentation
Tube of 40 g or 100 g at the best price.
