DECRON

The Principle of Osmosis

The effectiveness of the DECRON Hoof Gel Pad and the DECRON Leg Wrap Poultice is based on the principles of osmosis. The unique combination of glycerine and a blend of natural essential oils creates a powerful osmotic effect. 

Glycerine – A 'Drawing Agent'

The DECRON Hoof Gel Pad and the DECRON Leg Wrap Poultice have been impregnated with Glycerine a powerful osmotic agent that 'draws' or pulls fluids.  The removal of excess fluid relieves pressure.  As pressure around damaged tissue falls, fresh tissue fluids can move into the area, bringing the protective blood cells, oxygen and nutrients necessary to resist infection and support natural healing.

Natural Antiseptic Agents

The essential oils impregnated in the Decron Hoof Gel Pad and the DECRON Leg Wrap Poultice have a long history in herbal medicine of powerful antiseptic and healing properties:

Lavender Oil (lavandula augustifolia) - Herbal medicine references report that Lavender Oil demonstrates strong antiseptic and anti-inflammatory actions.

Melaleuca Oil (melaleuca alternifolia) - Martindale's Pharmacopoeia notes that Melaleuca Oil is reported to have bactericidal and fungicidal properties and is used in the treatment of various skin disorders.

Arnica (arnica montana) - Martingdale's Pharmacopoeia reports that Arnica is used as a topical application in conditions such as strains and bruises.
