Action
- Moisturizing action: The essential fatty acids in Chiropex act as emollients, which soften skin and help skin retain moisture, relieving dryness and itching due to plantar xerosis.

- Antimicrobial and wound-healing actions: Chiropex prevents secondary bacterial infections of fissure feet and promotes wound-healing.
Chiropex is non-greasy and non-staining.
- Chiropex is safe and suitable to use in patients of all age groups.[1]
Indications
- Plantar xerosis.
Key ingredients
- Ayurveda texts and modern research back the following facts:
- Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which act as emollients, fill up the spaces between skin, helping to maintain skin hydration and integrity. The a-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) in the oil has potent anti-inflammatory action and promotes skin repair.
- Pongam Tree (Pongamia pinnata) oil is very useful in promoting wound-healing. It is traditionally used to treat itchy skin, abscesses, and other skin ailments. The oil from the seed of Pongamia pinnata exhibits a high degree of antifungal and antibacterial activity. Its emollient property softens and soothes the skin.
- Basil (Ocimum basilicum) oil and Peppermint satva (Menthol) also play an important role in reducing the pain and inflammation associated with fissure feet.
- Lemon (Citrus limon) oil reduces the pain in fissure feet, and has powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
- Honey acts as a moisturizing agent that helps the skin to absorb and retain moisture from the atmosphere. Honey is capable of inhibiting the major wound-infecting species of bacteria. It provides a protective barrier to prevent cross-infection, and thus helps accelerate wound-healing.
Directions for use
- After washing and drying feet, Chiropex cream should be applied on the affected areas in a circular motion. Recommended twice daily for best results.
