For skin relief: insect bites, heat rash, itching, and allergic skin irritations.
The Primary Ingredient: Clinacanthus nutans (Slaed Phang Phon)
The active ingredient in Bangkok Balm Organic Acanthaceae Herbal Gel is an extract of Clinacanthus nutans — known in Thai as Slaed Phang Phon — a flowering plant native to Southeast Asia and a cornerstone ingredient in traditional Thai herbal medicine.
Clinacanthus nutans is recognised in traditional Thai medicine for its anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties, making it particularly effective for skin conditions involving irritation, swelling, and allergic reaction.
What Makes This Formulation Effective: The Extraction Method
Bangkok Balm uses a fresh-leaf aqueous extraction method — processing the plant immediately after harvest using water as the solvent rather than heat or chemical solvents. This approach preserves the the natural therapeutic properties in Clinacanthus nutans that are responsible for its therapeutic effect.
The extract is then formulated into Bangkok Balm's proprietary gel base — a water-based, non-greasy carrier that allows the active compounds to penetrate the skin quickly rather than sitting on the surface as oil-based balms do.
