In 1998, selected ambulant patients of the Internal Ambulance of ÚVN Praha were examined.  These patients then applied REVMAHEM and VENAHEM creams on painful and affected spots on a regular basis for a period of one month.

Methodology

Originally 25 individuals of each group (50 persons in total) were involved in the observation, but only 43 of them completed the observation (22 individuals applying Revmahem and 21 applying Venahem).  There were 25 women and 18 men in the group.  Venahem was applied by 12 women and 9 men.  Revmahem by 13 women and 9 men.  The average age of those, who completed the study, was 56 year.  The oldest one was 78 years old, the youngest one 25 years old.

The reason for interruption was a failure to cooperate, diseases not related to the observed problems, a travel to abroad, moving or other impediments.  Intolerance or allergic reactions were not observed.  A protocol was completed with every patient, in which they described problems before the cream application and the same protocol was repeated in a one-month time.  The intensity of problems was rated at 0,+,00až000.

The following problems observed:

• venous system disorder
• chronic venous insufficiency with swollen crus
• swelling around ankles
• pressure in crus
• cramplike pain in course of varix
• post-phlebitic syndrome

 

Results:

Chronic venous insufficiency with swollen crus was observed with 6 women and 5 men.  A long-lasting recession of swelling was noted with 3 women and 2 men, temporary improvement, for the application period with 1 woman and 2 men.  Without any change with 2 women and 1 man.  Only 2 women and 1 man did not note any improvement of condition.  Swelling continued.

Swelling around ankles (perhaps from combined venous and lymphatic cause), observed with 4 women and 2 men.  Here recession or improvement was noted with 3 women and 1 man.

Cramplike pain in course of varix.  Observed with 9 women and 6 men.  Improvement was significant.  This was the case of 8 women and 6 men.  Only one woman said the relief was insignificant to none.

Pressure in lower limbs was observed with 7 women and 5 men.  After a one-month application, the effect was positive with all individuals, although to different extent.

Post-phlebitic syndrome caused swelling, strain after previous venous inflammation.  4 women and 2 men after passed venous inflammation had subsequent swelling and felt strain.  Swelling recessed in case of 2 women and 1 man.  But the relief was noted with all individuals (pressure, strain), although swelling persisted to certain extent.

Discussion

This was a disparate group of patients as far as gender and problems were concerned, these were caused by arthrotic, post-traumatic changes in the group of patients, who applied Revmahem locally.  Those patients, who were using Venahem externally, were people after inflammation of lower limb veins with persisting problems, with pain, swelling, convulsion in course of varix.  The individuals in both groups did not suffer from one type of difficulties or problems.  The symptoms often combined.

As noted before, the group was not homogenous, so it cannot be evaluated statistically, it is rather a group casuistics, which illustrates the possibilities of using Venahem and Revmahem.  Both of these creams can be regarded as herbal cosmetics with regenerating and preventive action.

Conclusion:

The results of our mini-test prove a positive benefit of both of these preparations.  Revmahem is perhaps more efficient in the area of cervical spine and elbows.  Venahem eliminates pressure and partially swelling of lower limbs in case of a local cause.
