Is this balm-gel a medicine for back pain, or can I use it instead of seeing a doctor? — LOŠADINOE ZDOROVJE STRETCHER BODY BALM FOR BACK AND LOWER BACK 200ML - KorolevFarm EU

No. This balm-gel is a cosmetic product, not a medicine. It is made for external body care: it creates a fresh-to-warm sensation and makes it easier to massage the back and lower back after long sitting, sport, physical work, or cold weather. It is not intended as a solution for persistent pain and is not a substitute for professional advice.

People typically choose it as part of a self-care routine when the back feels tired and less flexible. If the feeling is intense, comes after an injury, lasts more than a few days, or is accompanied by tingling or weakness in a leg, stop using the gel and see a doctor. In that situation a cosmetic product can delay the important conversation with a specialist.

If you are already under professional care for a back-related condition, ask that professional whether a warming balm-gel is appropriate for you before using it. The same applies if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.
