Application

What is PASTA COOL and what is it used for?
Mode of action
Pasta Cool is a decongestant, anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving poultice. It contains heparin and salicylic acid as active ingredients, as well as essential oils (rosemary oil, Indian melissa oil, mountain pine oil) in a base of siliceous clay.

Heparin has an anticoagulant, decongestant and vasodilator effect. Heparin thus counteracts the formation and enlargement of blood clots and promotes the regression of already existing clots. Fluid accumulations in the tissue are reduced more quickly and inflammatory processes are favourably influenced.

Salicylic acid has an anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving effect.

Pasta Cool also contains essential oils that promote blood circulation.

All properties together promote the regression of bruises and inflammatory swellings. The feeling of tension and pain or increased sensitivity to pressure diminish, and the associated restriction of movement decreases.

Application
Pasta Cool is used for the supportive treatment of swellings and bruises resulting from blunt, bloodless injuries to the musculoskeletal system such as bruises, sprains or strains, for example after acute sports injuries.

If you do not feel better or even worse after regular use over 5 days, consult your doctor.
