The Application of Rest in Chore and Other Functional Nervous Diseases; and in Organic Nervous Diseases
Published in Francis X. Dercum, Rest, Suggestion, 2019
When the acute stage has passed away, a subacute condition remains which is due to the incomplete subsidence of the inflammation. Rest is to be continued, and if pain and tenderness persist unduly, counterirritation may now be employed though it is rarely necessary. In special regions, such as the axilla, counterirritation is best avoided altogether. In inflammation of the brachial plexus or of the nerves of the arm, gentle inunctions with ichthyol ointment, one part to four, may be employed. It is exceedingly probable that some of the benefit derived is the result of the local massage which the proper application of the inunctions necessitates. After a stage has been reached in which pain has largely or entirely subsided, massage is of the utmost utility. Its employment is indicated at a period when all inflammation has subsided and only the sequels of the latter persist. It should be applied daily in such a manner as to exert an effect upon both nerves and muscles.

Laureth 9 (polidocanol) is a local anesthetic and antipruritic agent, contributing to the soothing and calming effect of the shampoo.
