Method of administration
For use on the skin.

Balneum Hermal - bath additive is added to the inlet bath water and mixed in well until an even distribution is achieved.

The bath water temperature should not exceed 36 °C significantly, as the moisturizing effect slowly diminishes at higher temperatures. For the treatment of itching, the temperature should be 32 °C or as low as it is perceived as comfortable.
The duration of the bath is to be determined individually, but should not exceed 15-20 minutes.

In children, an application time of only a few minutes is usually sufficient.

The frequency of use depends on the type and extent of the complaints. In general, baths are recommended with an interval of 2-3 days. Daily bathing is also possible.

Balneum Hermal bath additive can also be used for showering. The preparation is spread undiluted on the moistened skin and then showered off.

After bathing or showering, the skin should only be lightly dabbed with a towel. Strong drying and rubbing reduce the effect of the treatment.
