Pharmacological properties

The therapeutic effect of "Ant Honey" is due to the biological activity of its constituent components. Propolis suppresses inflammatory processes in periarticular tissue structures, heals injured or diseased ligamentous fibers.

The herbal component strengthens the adjacent muscles, increases the elasticity and impermeability of the capillary walls. Formic alcohol has the ability to neutralize the main mediators of inflammation - prostaglandins. These substances are distinguished by mutual synergy.

The pharmacological properties of the product are based on the local irritating effect of formic alcohol, its ability to:

• tone up periarticular tissues;
• suppress pain manifestations provoked by an exacerbation of the pathological process or traumatic injury;
• activate subcutaneous microcirculation of blood;
• enhance intracellular redox reactions.

The lemon balm extract included in the gel eliminates the pathogenic microflora of bacterial and fungal nature. The substance prevents re-infection of the pathological focus.

The ability of lemon balm to expand the lumen of peripheral blood vessels reduces pressure in them and improves the nutrition of the articular joints. The neurological and trophic properties of the plant component are of therapeutic importance.

They provide the fastest healing of ulcerative destruction, wounds, cracks. Elastin, which is part of the preparation, serves as a structure-forming element of the connective fibers.

Pharmacological properties of "Ant Honey" are based on the ability of this component to expand the range of motion of the joints. Elastin increases the stretching capacity of muscle fibers, ligamentous tissues, tendons.

An important component of the medicinal composition is the marsh cinquefoil, which is included in the recipes of alternative medicine and pharmaceutical herbal preparations.

The pharmacological properties of "Ant Honey" are due to the ability of this natural ingredient:

• reduce the severity of inflammation;
• stimulate interstitial metabolic processes;
• reduce the release of pathological exudate;
• remove traumatic puffiness;
• improve peripheral circulation;
• have a moderate analgesic effect.

Marsh cinquefoil is a natural natural antiseptic. This pharmacological property is especially valuable in chronic articular discomfort caused by autoimmune disorders or degenerative-dystrophic diseases.

Camphor is known for its warming effects. The component of the external gel eliminates hyperemia, in combination with other biologically active substances, it reduces inflammatory severity.

The pharmacological properties of the product are based on the ability of a natural plant terpenoid:

• eliminate chronic muscle discomfort, manifested by pulling or aching sensations;
• to activate intra-articular blood circulation;
• have a detoxifying effect;
• suppress itching;

Powerful wound healing properties are distinguished by sea buckthorn oil, which in combination with other components of the product softens tissues and opens pores, facilitating the penetration of biologically active substances into the structure of the articular joints.
