Bell's Magnesium Sulphate Paste B.P. 50g is a traditional and effective topical treatment designed to bring relief to minor skin conditions such as boils, carbuncles, and inflamed skin. This trusted paste works by gently drawing out impurities, helping to reduce swelling and promote healing, making it an essential item for your home first-aid kit.

Description

Magnesium Sulphate Paste B.P. 50g is a time-tested remedy, renowned for its 'drawing' action, which makes it particularly useful for stubborn skin issues. When applied, the high concentration of dried magnesium sulphate creates an osmotic effect, helping to draw out pus and fluid from the affected area. This action not only aids in the removal of foreign bodies like splinters but also assists in managing conditions such as boils and abscesses by encouraging them to come to a head and drain naturally.

Effective Topical Treatment for Skin Inflammation

This topical paste for inflammation provides soothing relief for red, swollen, and irritated skin. Its formulation, including glycerol, helps to keep the skin hydrated and soft, supporting the natural healing process. Whether you're dealing with a localised area of inflammation, a troublesome boil, or need a gentle aid for splinter removal, Bell's Magnesium Sulphate Paste B.P. 50g offers a reliable and accessible solution.
