Who is the Phoenician Balm for?

  • For people who have an abdominal or inguinal hernia and are looking for a natural care product.
  • For those who feel a weakening of the abdominal wall and want to take preventive care, especially when hernias are common in the family.
  • For those who trust plants and tradition, rather than a generic massage oil.

Why the Phoenician Balm rather than a standard massage oil?

  • Contains plants and resins (boswellia, sticky inula, cypress, aloe), not just a scented oil with essential oils.
  • A two-level Unani approach: the Balm for local application, HernoSan in capsule form.
  • A recipe taken from the ointments used by the Phoenicians for rowing sailors subjected to intense strain, updated 25 years ago by Botavie.

Abdominal wall hernias
There are several types of hernias located in the abdominal region, caused by the separation of the abdominal muscle fibres. Through this "breach", a sac (called a hernial sac) formed by the peritoneum and covered by skin protrudes. The hernia most often contains adipose tissue, sometimes a segment of the small intestine.

The most common locations are the groin (inguinal hernias), the navel (umbilical hernias), and the upper thigh (femoral hernias). Inguinal hernia is more common in men; umbilical hernia is often found in women and overweight individuals; femoral hernia, more common in women, is often small and not very painful.

Inguinal hernia is more common in men due to the natural passage of the spermatic cord through the abdominal wall in the groin area. In women, it is the passage of the round ligament of the uterus that allows the hernia to develop. The hernia is located at the inner end of the groin and, in men, descends more or less towards the scrotum — this is then an inguinoscrotal hernia.

Umbilical hernia is more common in women and obese individuals, characterised by the often large protrusion of a portion of the intestine in the navel area.

Femoral hernia is more common in obese women and consists of the protrusion of a portion of the intestine under the arch that gives passage to the femoral artery and vein from the abdomen to the thigh. Often small, it is not very painful.

Causes and consequences
Abdominal wall hernias are caused by the separation of muscle fibres. The cause may be congenital or result from weakening of the muscle tissue. Overweight and lack of exercise are often contributing factors. They may appear or increase in size when abdominal pressure rises due to lifting effort or even a simple cough.

The Unani approach to the Terrain
The Unani Tradition considers that excess moisture and phlegm in the muscle tissues of the abdominal wall contributes to its weakening. It is recommended to avoid foods that generate pathological moisture in the body (dairy products and sugar) and to support the Terrain with plants that help the body eliminate this excess moisture and firm the tissues.

Action of the Phoenician Balm
The Phoenician Balm takes its name from a composition inspired by ancient writings on Phoenician ointments. It is a penetrating oily lotion, composed of plants, resins, and natural substances, applied to the abdominal wall to firm it and give it tone. The massage provides a feeling of relief and comfort.

Directions for use
Apply the Balm morning and evening directly to the hernia, generously extending beyond its perimeter. This is because the aim is to firm the entire area. Massage well for deep penetration. Apply the Balm as soon as discomfort appears to care for it as early as possible.

It is advisable to use the Phoenician Balm with a bandage or hernia belt, which mechanically contains the hernial sac and allows the Balm to act. Use the Balm regularly as part of a care and comfort routine. The Balm can also be used preventively when you feel a weakening of the abdominal wall and hernias are common in your family history. For topical use only.

"Hello, is it necessary to order HernoSan along with the Phoenician Balm product, because I have 2 bottles of Phoenician Balm... I used both products for six weeks for a small right inguinal hernia and the result is remarkable . Thank you very much. "
Mr Didier D. - Brussels, Belgium

 

"I had a hernia for a long time, and after using the Phoenician Balm for three or four months my hernia was healed. This is how I got to know you, ... You make good products.
Mrs Josette B. - St-Paul les Dax, France

 

I have been using the Phoenician Balm to strengthen my lower abdomen and my inguinal hernia has reduced by 50%. A thousand thanks and BRAVO for your excellent product.
Mr François M. - Le Creusot, France

 

Good products (TensioReg – A-Prostine – Phoenician Balm), fast delivery, the Phoenician Balm is really excellent if a bit pricy. Thank you”
Mr. Louis T. - Ayze, France

 

Very satisfying product, I am using it for 2 years now and it is not over yet, however it was a fairly large hernia at the start.”
Mr. Lucien D. - Bordes de Rivière, France

 

On your Website I have ordered 2 bottles of Phoenician Balm, at first I was quite neutral about its efficiency especially since I have an inguinal hernia dating 25 years back. In the last two months I have rubbed the lotion as indicated, emptying the whole bottle. I was wearing an old and worn out contention belt and at my age (71 years old) I kept on to do odd jobs about the house and garden (carrying rocks and stones, sand buckets up to 40 kg).

When I was about to order a new contention belt, I had the curiosity to perform the cough test; with my hand flat on the hernia, I did not feel the usual bulge, while on the other side I have another but small and untreated hernia that I could feel. I don’t’ dare taking my new contention belt off, I prefer to continue the treatment and to take care also of my small second hernia. I just want to testify about the Phoenician Balm efficiency: age 71 years old, a 25 years old hernia subjected to repeated efforts since I am an active handyman. And if I may add, the perfume of the lotion is truly manly. Thank you with all my gratitude.”
Mr. Antoine B. - France

 

I have been using your Phoenician Balm for 5 weeks and my inguinal hernia seems to have disappeared. I am still wearing a belt when I go out but I wonder if you have cures on your record. I’ve just ordered some for my son in law as well. I’m very impressed, after 15 years, a cure like this is very welcome.
Mr Craig S. - London, United Kingdom
