Menthol Cream Balm from the Antica Farmacia di Camaldoli, in a 100 ml package. Menthol is extracted from peppermint oil, which contains 45% menthol, making it an unparalleled refreshing agent. In the Cream Balm produced by the Benedictine monks of the Monastery and Hermitage of Camaldoli, menthol is included as an aid in treating bruises, stiff neck, rheumatic pain, or simply as a refreshing agent. Historical notes: The ancient pharmacy is located inside the Camaldolese monastery, a monastic order founded by Saint Romuald in the 11th century. This pharmacy is renowned for its long history and use of herbs and natural remedies, in keeping with the monastic tradition of care and assistance. The Camaldolese monks, devoted to contemplative life and spiritual pursuits, also played an important role in medicine and botany. Their pharmacy was often stocked with a wide range of medicinal herbs, preparations, and ointments, used both for the well-being of the monks themselves and to assist the surrounding community.
