Blastostimulin is a medication popular in the treatment of burns and skin wounds. One of its main components, centella asiatica, has been used as a medicinal herb for about five thousand years.

Blastocystymulin vaginal ovuli, used to cure infections and other vaginal problems, are especially well known today.

In this article we will explain what blastoestimulin is, how it is used and what its medicinal properties are . We will also review its contraindications and possible side effects.

What is blastostimulin?

Blastostimulin is a frequently used medicine to accelerate the healing of wounds, injuries and burns of the skin. It is mainly recommended for cases with an infectious component.

Blastoestimulin is mainly composed of extract of centella asiatica and neomycin . Depending on the format in which it is marketed, it has other specific components, although its effects depend mainly on these two products.

Neomycin is an antibiotic frequently used in creams. It can also be used to treat bacterial stomach problems if taken by mouth.

Asian pennywort, a natural medicine

The main component of blastoestimulin is the extract of centella asiatica, an herbaceous plant native to Southeast Asia and India, where it is also known as “Gotu Kola” and “Brahmi”.

Centella asiatica extract contributes to the synthesis of structural proteins and glycosaminoglycans, carbohydrates with a tissue-connecting function.

In traditional Ayurvedic, Chinese and African medicines, centella asiatica has been used to make poultices to heal wounds and burns, as well as to treat psoriasis, varicose veins and even cancer. However, not all these medicinal uses have been confirmed by scientific research.

Asian centella is also a culinary ingredient in Asian cuisine. In Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand or Myanmar it is used as a side dish for curried rice, in salads and in soft drinks. Medicinal properties are also attributed to this dietary supplement.

How do you use blastostimulin?

Blastostimulin is used to help wounds, injuries, sores, and burns on the skin heal better. It is particularly effective when there is a risk of bacterial infection or when this has already occurred.

Blastostimulin can be found in ointment, powder, spray, and as an egg that is inserted into the vagina.

1. In ointment

Applied in this format, blastostimulin is useful to help wounds heal faster , including surgical wounds and skin grafts. This property is due to the action of centella asiatica, which has traditionally been used in a similar way.

The antibiotic properties of blastostimulin also make it useful for healing infected wounds, since it removes the bacteria from the skin.

2. In powder form

Blastothymulin powder has properties and uses very similar to those of ointment, being especially effective when the wound needs to be dried.

Blastostimulin is applied between one and three times a day depending on the severity of the injury , regardless of whether it is used as a powder or an ointment. It is recommended to clean the wound before applying the blastoestimulin in these formats.

3. In spray

Since it is applied directly to the skin, the spray format has very similar indications to those of the blastostimulin powder and ointment , being useful for the healing of wounds, burns and grafts.

4. In eggs

This format is very popular for the treatment of vaginal problems , especially of an infectious or irritative type. The eggs are inserted into the vagina, preferably before going to sleep.

The blastocyst treatments in eggs last between 5 and 10 days. In the most severe cases it is recommended to start with two eggs a day; the dose will be reduced when the symptoms improve.

Vaginal washing with alkaline substances should be avoided during treatment as it would remove the egg and cancel out its effect.

Blastostimulin in eggs is used to treat conditions such as vaginitis, candidiasis, vulvitis, cervicovaginitis, moniliasis, trichomoniasis, and leukorrhea. It is also effective in improving the healing of wounds in the vaginal walls that may occur after painful sexual intercourse or childbirth.

Side effects and contraindications

Blastothymulin does not cause serious side effects . Its topical application may cause a slight stinging in very sensitive skin, but it does not irritate the skin.

It is not advisable to use the blastostimulin ointment or powder to treat severe or very extensive wounds, injuries or burns.If applied in egg form, alcohol consumption should be avoided as its interaction can cause vomiting, hypotension, sweating and breathing difficulties.

It is preferable not to use blastostimulin during pregnancy and breastfeeding; although it has not been shown to affect either the mother or the baby, this possibility has not been ruled out either.

Before taking blastostimulin it is recommended that you consult your doctor ; while it is difficult for this medicine to have harmful effects, it may be ineffective or may aggravate the problem if it is very serious.
