The effect of ozocerite on the body is composed of temperature, mechanical and chemical factors.

The mechanical factor of the action of ozocerite is explained by its ability to solidify to decrease in volume by 10-12%, which is accompanied by a slight compression of the underlying tissues (compression action). This contributes to a deeper heat transfer. The chemical effect of ozocerite is due to the presence of biologically active substances (which have an estrogen-like, acetylcholine-like effect).
