Full details

FAQs
What is Rhus Tox Ointment used for?
Weleda Rhus Tox Ointment is used for the symptomatic relief of muscular rheumatic pain and stiffness.
What are the main ingredients?
The primary active ingredient is Rhus toxicodendron tincture (1=2) 10ml per 100g of ointment.
How should I apply the ointment?
Apply a small amount to the affected area, usually one to three times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Gently rub into the skin.
Is this product suitable for children?

What does 'symptomatic relief' mean?
Symptomatic relief means the product helps to alleviate the symptoms of a condition (like pain and stiffness) but does not treat the underlying cause of the condition itself.

What is anthroposophic medicine?
Anthroposophic medicine is an extended concept of medicine based on the spiritual philosophy of anthroposophy, developed by Rudolf Steiner and Ita Wegman. It considers the human being in their entirety—physical, soul, and spirit.
Troubleshooting
Ointment does not seem to be providing relief
Ensure the ointment is applied consistently as directed. Allow time for the active ingredient to take effect. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional.
Skin irritation occurs after application
Discontinue use immediately if irritation develops. Wash the affected area with mild soap and water. Consider performing a patch test on a small area of skin before further application if you have sensitive skin.
Ointment appears to have changed consistency or smell
This may indicate the product has been exposed to improper storage conditions (e.g., heat, light). Discontinue use and consider purchasing a new unit if you suspect spoilage.
