will be revolutionary as a topical non-steroid
alternative choice for chronic dermatological
conditions, and chronic muscle and joint
discomfort.

are: eczema and the various forms of
dermatitis.

of joint, tendon and muscle problems.

palliative rather than curative and only in a
few diseases does corticosteroid use altar
prognosis.
|

stubborn problems, thereby reducing the
suffering in those who don’t achieve results
with conventional methods of treatment.

anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, analgesic,
antibiotic and tissue regenerative effects.

produces vasoconstriction in the skin.
|
5. Increases the blood circulation and
lymph flow in normal and necrotic skin and
can restore the circulation in a previously
occluded vessel. (e.g. in gangrene).
|
6. Unfortunately, after topical administration,
systemic absorption is also enhanced,
occasionally sufficient to suppress the
pituitary-adrenal axis.
|
6. There is no such effect on the
pituitary-adrenal axis after using topically for
a prolonged period.
|
7. Acute adrenal insufficiency results from
too rapid withdrawal of corticosteroid after
prolonged therapy.

prolonged therapy.
|
7. There is no such effect after
discontinuation of the topical herbal
preparation, even after prolonged use.
|
8. There is a characteristic corticosteroid
withdrawal syndrome, consisting of fever,
myalgia, arthralgia, and malaise, which may
be extremely difficult to distinguish from
reactivation of rheumatoid arthritis or
rheumatic fever.
|
8. No such reactivation is noted in the
management of acute or chronic muscle
and joint discomfort.
|
9. In arthritis corticosteroid therapy,
treatment may have to be continued for
many years or for life, with the attendant
risks of serious complications.
|
9. In joint and tendon discomfort, the topical
herbal preparation Herbogen does not
need to be applied for many years.
However, even after years of use there are
no side effects.

10. In the treatment of arthritis complete
relief is not sought. A regimen of rest,
physical therapy, and aspirin-like medication
is continued.

Herbogen, a complete relief is sought in
muscle and joint problems. Generally
aspirin-like medication is not needed with
the regimen of rest and physical therapy.
|
11. In osteoarthritis, intra-articular injection
of corticosteroids is recommended for the
treatment of episodic manifestations of
acute inflammation. In both rheumatoid
arthritis and osteoarthritis, a significant
incidence of painless destruction of the joint,
reminiscent of Charcots arthropathy, may be
associated with repeated intra-articular
injections of corticosteroids.
|
11. The non-steroid herbal preparation
Herbogen is for topical use only. It does not
produce any painless destruction of the
joints. It helps to revive the joint function by
relieving the discomfort of the joint in a
natural way. It also helps to maintain the
cartilage.
|
12. Urticaria, contact dermatitis, bee stings
and angioneurotic edema can be
suppressed by adequate doses of
glucocorticoids given as a supplement to
the primary therapy.
|
12. Non-steroid herbal preparation Neem O
Derm for total skin care can be used as a
primary local agent if needed and also as a
supplement with any conventional therapy.
Generally topical application of Neem O
Derm for total skin care alone is highly
effective to manage bee stings and edema.
|
13. The glucocorticoids diminish release of
arachidonic acid from phospholipids. This
decreases the formation of prostaglandins,
leukotrienes, and related compounds, such
as prostaglandin endoperoxides and
thromboxane, which may play an important
role in chemotaxis and inflammation.
|
13. These herbal preparations are multi
herbal in nature. Many of the herbs have the
efficacy to reduce the formation of
arachidonic acid, prostaglandins, and
thromboxan effectively, as well as a
decrease in the formation of leukotrienes,
cyclooxygenese and lipoxygenese. These
are accomplished without any side effects.
|
14. Glucocorticoids inhibit the release of 14.

ingredients, which help to prevent the
formation of interleukin - 1 effectively in a
natural way.
|
15. Possible extension of viral infections,
e.g herpes virus homines (HVH) and
varicella may occur.
|
15. It is highly effective in the management
of herpes zoster (shingles) pain and
eruption and also in chicken pox eruptions.
Multiple herbs in the formula have antiviral
efficacy by nature. So, herbal formula never
produces any extension of viral infections.
|
16. Purpura may be encountered after
prolonged application of a potent
corticosteroid.
|
16. Purpura has never been encountered
after 12 to 26 years’ of continuous use.
|

to the face may bring about a circumoral
rosacea-like disease, an iatrogenic rash
observed only in recent years.

after prolonged (more than 16 years)
application to the face.
|
18. Skin atrophy may be induced by chronic
application of high potency steroids.
|
18. Never induced skin atrophy after
prolonged use for 14 to 26 years. On the
contrary it helps to maintain the normal
youth and suppleness of the skin.

19. Psoriasis responds to topically applied
steroid, but other treatments are sometimes
preferable.
|
19. Uncontrolled psoriasis also responds
effectively in a natural way after topically
applying the non-steroid herbal formula
Neem O Derm for total skin care. It
generally does not require other agents. But
can be used if needed.
|
20. The toxicity that is associated with
topical corticosteroid therapy may be
characterized as either local or systemic.
|
20. These non-steroid herbal formulae have
no systemic or local toxicity after being used
every day for 12 to 30 years.
|
21. In clinical terms, the administration of
corticosteroids for their anti-inflammatory
effects is palliative therapy; the underlying
causes of the disease remains; the
inflammatory manifestations are merely
suppressed.
|
21. Non-steroid herbal preparation is not a
palliative or suppressive for the
management of discomfort. It helps to
revive the normal function in a natural way.
|
22. The signs and symptoms of
inflammation may be missing in-patients
treated with glucocorticoids. Therefore an
under lying problem like a peptic ulcer may
perforate without producing clinical signs.
|
22. Herbal Promise products never hides
the symptoms during use. This preparation
is highly acceptable for the individual who
has a peptic ulcer because it is a topical
preparation.
|
23. Local corticosteroid has no beneficial
action in the treatment of diabetic gangrene
or in circulation impairment in extremities.
|
23. Our products can help to revive the
normal function of the extremities in
diabetics without any operation and helps to
revive the circulation and lymph flow in a
natural way.
|
24. Topical corticosteroid does not help to
regain the normal skin pigmentation in a
2nd degree burn.
|
24. The non-steroid formula Neem O Derm
for total skin care can regain the normal
skin pigmentation in a 2nd degree burn.
Formation of blisters will be less if the oil is
applied immediately on the affected area.
