History

The roots of Vinilinum Balsam, also known as Shostakovsky Balsam, trace back to the ancient "Balsam of Peru." This resinous substance, derived from the Myroxylon balsamum tree, was historically harvested in Central America and shipped through Peru to Europe. Known for its medicinal properties, Balsam of Peru became a staple in traditional healing.

   

 

During World War II, Shostakovsky's brother served on the front lines, where he witnessed the harsh realities of war and the severe wounds sustained by his fellow soldiers. He heard about a miraculous balm from Peru, known for its exceptional healing properties. The Soviet government paid a fortune for this balm, exchanging a gram of gold for a gram of the medicine to heal soldiers' severe wounds. Determined to help, Shostakovsky's brother wrote a heartfelt letter to his brother, a chemist, detailing the balm's potential. Along with the letter, he sent a small, precious bottle of Peru Balsam, hoping his brother could study and replicate its formula to aid their war efforts. This act of brotherly love and scientific curiosity led to the development of Vinilin, a life-saving remedy for many.

  

Everything changed thanks to Academician Shostakovsky, who successfully synthesized the balsam in the laboratory, making it accessible to everyone. His innovation ensured that the powerful healing properties of the balsam could reach those in need without the exorbitant cost.

   

Today, Vinilinum continues this legacy, offering a trusted remedy for various ailments. Rooted in the ancient healing traditions of Balsam of Peru and refined by modern science, Vinilinum stands out for its remarkable history and efficacy. As the first synthetic polymer used in medicine, it represents a significant milestone in pharmaceutical innovation.
