Oil inhalation is one of the healing methods that was given to us by nature itself. After all, absolutely all living beings on Earth receive a lot of useful substances from the environment by inhaling air. Modern inhalation is very different from the "grandfather" methods like inhaling potato vapors, sitting over a pan with a bag on your head, and from bulky noisy devices that used to be located in city clinics and frightened patients with their appearance alone. Modern inhalers are small units with which even at home you can inhale healthy health vapors. But not everything is so simple, and not everyone has access to really high-quality and effective healing oils. Therefore, patients usually register for procedures in medical institutions.

OIL INHALATION AS A THERAPY

Quite often, therapists prescribe oil inhalations for dry coughs. The procedure shows high efficiency and is carried out with the help of vegetable oils heated to a certain temperature. During the procedure, the active substances enter the mucous membranes of the respiratory organs and create a very thin protective shell. This shell becomes a kind of barrier to irritants that can harm not only the respiratory but also all internal organs.

Also, properly selected oils can slow down (or completely eliminate) the inflammatory process, which is important in the treatment of pneumonia and other ailments of the respiratory system. That is why doctors often refer the patient to oil inhalations for pharyngitis, laryngitis, stomatitis, and similar ENT diseases (including chronic ones).

But any effect from such medical manipulations should be expected only if the procedure is carried out correctly, and in compliance with all the important subtleties that only an experienced doctor can know about. Let's take a look at some of these subtleties:

• Manipulation is recommended when the patient is in a calm, peaceful state. The torso should be slightly tilted forward.
• In the process, you can not talk, read, and be distracted by something extraneous.
• Clothing should be comfortable, not restrict the neck, and not interfere with free breathing.
• Inhalations for laryngitis or any other disease should be performed no earlier than an hour and a half after eating and physical activity.
• Upon completion of the procedure, it is recommended to rest for 10-20 minutes, and if it is winter outside - at least half an hour.
• Also, immediately after the event, you should not eat, talk, smoke, or drink for an hour. This is necessary in order to achieve the maximum therapeutic effect - the longest possible effect on the body of beneficial active substances from oils.
• In diseases of the nose, and especially the paranasal sinuses, inhalation/exhalation is performed through the nose. In case of ailments of the trachea, larynx, pharynx, or bronchi, after inhalation, you need to hold your breath for a few seconds, and then exhale intensely through your nose.
• In the process of passing the therapeutic course, you must completely abandon the intake of alcohol, do not eat salty foods, and temporarily suspend therapy with expectorant drugs.
• Before the procedure, doctors advise performing inhalation with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, boric acid, and potassium permanganate (not in all cases).
• One of the important conditions for the effectiveness of the procedure is the patency of the airways. Therefore, to improve this function of the body, it is worthwhile to first conduct breathing exercises and undergo a therapy session with the use of bronchodilators.
• As part of a complex treatment, oil inhalations are usually prescribed after electric shock therapy and light therapy.

There are many myths about oil inhalations in the medical environment. In part, there is a category of doctors who reject their effectiveness and argue that they can only harm the body (or act as a placebo). But, as practice and common sense show, these procedures can still positively affect the body and cause a long-term protective effect. Moreover, to a greater extent, this applies to oils that have vitamin complexes in their composition and are distinguished by antiseptic properties.
