What is "frog stone" extract and why is it in the formula?

"Frog stone" (konnakivi in the product name is the Estonian word for exactly this) is a plant extract traditionally used in the folk medicine of a number of regions. In cosmetic body balms it is used for its action aimed at reducing the feeling of heaviness and puffiness in the problem area.

In this cream balm, the extract works together with other components of the formula: comfrey, which is traditionally used for bruises and overstrained soft tissues, and bee venom, which increases local blood circulation. Together they have a combined effect on the area of application — warming, softening and relieving the feeling of heaviness.

It is important to understand that the cream balm is an external cosmetic product, not a medicine. Its components, including "frog stone" extract, act at the level of the skin and superficial tissues and are not intended to treat diseases of the joints or muscles.
