Dr. A.S. Zalmanov has developed several treatments using turpentine, which is added to the bath. In one case, a yellow emulsion is used, and in the other, a white emulsion is used. It is different in composition, method of exposure and healing properties.
In addition to the main substance, gum turpentine, the yellow emulsion also contains oleic acid, castor and fir oils, and water. Such a mixture forms a small thin film on the surface of the water. When taking such a bath, body temperature rises faster, which helps to accelerate the breakdown of deposits in the joints, metabolic processes occur faster, capillaries expand significantly, and blood pressure decreases.
In addition to gum turpentine, water has been added to the white emulsion, from which all minerals have been removed, salicylic acid, herbal extract and baby soap powder, as a fragrance. This mixture dissolves very well in water without sediment. Baths help to relax muscles, as evidenced by deep and calm breathing, heat transfer is faster, pressure rises, blood vessels contract and expand rhythmically, a white emulsion can cause a slight burning sensation or tingling of the skin.
People who have problems with the cardiovascular system are better off using mixed bath emulsions. Mixing will allow you to regulate blood pressure and find the best option for everyone.

Reviews of turpentine baths
Anna: I really love taking care of my skin and following proper nutrition. Therefore, for a change, I decided to try Skipar. When added to water, a rich aroma of pine needles was felt. I take baths periodically, when it turns out, so they help to reduce weight or not – it’s hard to say.
But such a bath saves from a cold very well. Therefore, as soon as I feel that I am starting to catch a cold, I immediately take a turpentine bath for myself and everything goes away the next morning. It is impossible not to notice that after such procedures my skin became very soft and smooth.
Vika: Since I gained a lot of excess weight during pregnancy, I was looking for all kinds of ways to lose weight. I could not follow diets, I could not stand more than a couple of days on them. Accidentally came across on the Internet reviews of Skipar, read it and decided to try it.
I bought white and yellow emulsions and began to alternate. Within a week I saw results. I dropped 3 kg! The skin became tender, noticeably tightened, small scars disappeared altogether, and stretch marks became less scary.
I’ve been using it for a month now. My husband even noticed how I lost weight. I am absolutely delighted with this miracle product!
