Mebo for every home

-

HOME injuries affect all age groups, especially children, the elderly and housewives as they spend longer hours at home.

The most common home injuries are cuts and puncture wounds caused by knives, nails or broken glass; abrasions and scratches from rough surfaces; and minor burns while cooking.

With 100% natural herbal ingredient­s, Moist Exposed Burn Ointment (Mebo) is an ointment specially formulated to aid the natural healing of skin wounds.

It contains active ingredient­s such as Sitosterol that has an anti-inflammato­ry effect sesame oil for moisturisi­ng and soothing effect as well as plant extracts as antimicrob­ial agents.

Mebo provides the advantage of a moist environmen­t for wound healing Optimum moisture level is necessary for skin regenerati­on and restoratio­n as cells require moisture to move from the wound edges to close a wound. It also helps prevent dryness and accelerate­s skin cells reparation

Mebo activates skin stem cells and increases the rate of regenerati­on by the synergic properties of its active ingredient­s. This cooperativ­e action provides a great nutrition source to promote natural skin healing and minimise scarring

The special compositio­n in Mebo also naturally dissolves and removes dead tissues without further infecting healthy cells and surroundin­g tissues

At the same time, Mebo helps maintain optimal wound temperatur­e and reduces the rate of infection by supporting the immune response to fight infection.

It provides an analgesic effect by increasing pain threshold which helps to relieve wound pains and protects nerve endings from inflammato­ry substances.

Hence, it reduces swelling and any inflammato­ry reaction on the wound.

Mebo, patented in the US, Europe and Japan has been used in hospitals and has a wide applicatio­n to treat wounds including burns, ulcers and trauma wounds.

It is now available in chain and neighbourh­ood pharmacies nationwide.

This is a traditiona­l product advertisem­ent.
