How to take Zandu Balm

For external use only. Apply a small amount on the affected area (forehead/temples for headache; muscles/joints for pain) and gently massage 2–3 times daily or as needed. For cold, apply on chest/throat/back or use small quantity for steam inhalation as directed on label. Wash hands after use; avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
