Irritation, itching, burning, pain, hypersensitive reactions in the anal area can have a variety of causes. The healing and wound ointment "Retterspitz Wund- und Heilsalbe" supports the healing process. The essential oils it contains (spruce needle oil and mountain pine oil) have an odour-reducing effect. Retterspitz Wund- und Heilsalbe relieves pain and eases the passage of stool. Unless otherwise prescribed, apply Retterspitz Wund- und Heilsalbe once or several times a day to the affected skin area. In the case of haemorrhoids, use your fingertip to introduce a small amount of ointment into the anus after each bowel movement. Wash your hands with soap after rubbing in the cream to avoid getting any remaining cream on sensitive mucous membranes.

Wrap treatments using the liquid for external use "Retterspitz Äußerlich" can ease painful tendon sheaths. Swelling goes down. Keep the limb immobilised and apply a wrap treatment using Retterspitz Äußerlich up to five times a day; leave each wrap on for one and a half hours. The wrap for neck and smaller joints "Retterspitz Wickel für Hals und kleinere Gelenke" is the right size for this. To treat sports-induced overstrain, a gentle massage using the muscle treatment "Retterspitz Muskelcreme" provides additional help after removing the wrap. Apply a line of cream, approx. 5 cm long.

Repetitive movements can also strain the elbow joints of non-athletes. Wrap treatments using the liquid for external use "Retterspitz Äußerlich" support the healing process. The leg wraps "Retterspitz Nasse Strümpfe" (short, 70 cm) are the ideal size for treating the elbow. The Retterspitz treatment should be applied from the middle of the upper arm, over the elbow joint, to the middle of the lower arm. This way, the irritated extensor musculature in the lower arm is included in the treatment. After removing Retterspitz Nasse Strümpfe, the muscle treatment "Retterspitz Muskelcreme" enhances the healing effect. Massage the cream in well and then keep the arm warm.

Massaging with the muscle treatment "Retterspitz Muskelcreme" helps with painful muscle tension. A gentle yet intensive massage with this cream eases the muscles and tissue. The pain subsides. The ingredients smell pleasantly aromatic and cool the skin as they evaporate. After rubbing / massaging in the cream, lay a dry Molton fabric cloth (see the wrap textiles "Retterspitz Wickel-Textilien") over the area. The drops for relaxation "Retterspitz Entspannungsöl" also has this relaxing, anti-inflammatory effect and is often used in therapy for treating muscle pains. Perfect for when you’re on the go: the roll-on muscle treatment "Retterspitz Muskelroller". The lotion is applied using the practical rollerball, meaning that the massage not only provides relief, but is also fuss-free because your hands remain clean and do not need to be washed.

Throat infections can be prevented using the mouthwash “Retterspitz Mund- und Gurgelwasser”. After cleaning your teeth, add two to three dashes to a glass of water, thoroughly rinse the mixture around the mouth, then gargle with it. The antibacterial properties of the essential oils regulate microbial colonisation in the mouth and throat and keep it in balance. A healthy throat makes it more difficult for viruses and bacteria to attack. Gargling daily helps to prevent colds.

Careful oral hygiene can protect against infections during the cold season. Add three dashes of the mouthwash "Retterspitz Mund- und Gurgelwasser" to lukewarm water and gargle thoroughly. If you are also suffering from fever, apply a wrap treatment using the liquid for external use "Retterspitz Äußerlich" to reduce the fever.

Twists and sprains are common in sports. Wrap treatments using the liquid for external use "Retterspitz Äußerlich" support physical therapy by reducing swelling and relieving pain.
