In today's article I will talk about Vietnamese method of using the well-known "asterisk" balm. I am sure that almost all people reading this article, at least once, smeared with this vigorous ointment when they were lying with a cold, and it helped many. But did we use the ointment correctly? Personally, I applied it to the sinuses, temples, earlobes, chin, between the eyebrows, above the upper lip and could not even imagine that properly smear the balm, with a cold, not at all on the face.
It turns out that the Vietnamese, the "asterisk" is produced in Vietnam, the balm is not applied to the face or even the neck, but to the arms and legs. Namely, you need to grind the ointment between fingers and toes, a small amount of "asterisk" will suffice. By the way, you can easily check whether the ointment can provoke an allergic reaction on the skin - for this literally apply a drop of ointment to your wrist. If after an hour the skin does not turn red and does not itch, then there is no allergy and the "asterisk" can be safely used.
To achieve the maximum effect of the balm, you should apply it before bed. It will also be very good if, after applying the ointment, wear warm gloves and socks. Of course, sleeping with gloves is not very comfortable, but it's worth it, because with additional insulation, the ointment gives an even greater positive effect.
