Balsamic Effluvium 50 ml. Ointment to spread on the chest

Ointment made directly by the Benedictine monks of the Monastery and Hermitage of Camaldoli, based on camphor, menthol, lemon balm, thyme, and eucalyptus. Indicated for the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections caused by colds, coughs, and inflammation of the nasal cavities. Available in a 50 ml package. Historical notes: The old pharmacy is located inside the Camaldolese monastery, a monastic order founded by Saint Romuald in the 11th century. This pharmacy is known 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 monks' own well-being and to assist the surrounding community.
