Thuja oil for adenoids for children

What are adenoids and why are they dangerous for a child? Many of you are familiar with this problem that occurs in children between the ages of 2 and 14. Adenoids are abnormal growths of lymphoid tissue. nasopharyngeal tonsil, which leads to mucosal edema and impaired nasal breathing. The child breathes through the mouth, although there is no runny nose, and if a runny nose appears, then it becomes protracted. These are the first signs of adenoids that have appeared, which should alert parents.

Adenoids are the focus chronic infection, they must be treated, otherwise the child will have serious health problems:

• hearing worsens;
• speech is disturbed;
• growth is disturbed facial bones and teeth;
• slows down the development of the chest;
• the middle ear often becomes inflamed;
• often there are constant companions of adenoids - pharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheitis;
• the child often and for a long time suffers from colds;
• the brain suffers from a lack of oxygen, which affects the child's performance at school;
• nervous disorders appear.

If the disease is in mild stage, then doctors offer conservative treatment, these are physiotherapy procedures, taking vitamins and immunostimulants, washing the nose with special solutions and instillation into the nose medicines, which have an anti-inflammatory effect, kill microbes and relieve swelling.

If the process is started, then most likely the doctors will suggest removing the adenoids, but the operation is a huge stress for the child. It is better not to start the development of the disease, but to start treating it as soon as possible.

Thuja oil is successfully used for adenoids in children, it relieves swelling and inflammation, kills bacteria, and enhances the body's defenses.

How to bury thuja oil in the nose of children

I repeat that it is impossible to instill pure essential oil of thuja into a child’s nose, you need to buy homeopathic oil or other preparations based on it in a pharmacy, in which the content of thuja oil does not exceed 15%.

• Rinse the child's nasal passages with salted water from a pipette, tilting his head forward over a basin or sink, let him blow his nose.
• Thuja oil for adenoids for children, according to the instructions, 2-3 drops are instilled into each nostril, the child should sit with his head slightly thrown back.
• After instillation, the child should be laid horizontally for 5 to 10 minutes.

Do the procedure daily for a month, then take a break for a month, and if the problem persists, instill thuja oil with adenoids for more long time. You'll have to be patient, because conservative treatment may take several months, sometimes it is necessary to conduct 3-4 courses until a complete cure.

I suggest watching a video in which the famous children's doctor Evgeny Komarovsky talks about adenoids, how to prevent this disease, how to treat it, and when an operation is needed.

Thuja oil for a cold

Thuja oil for a cold is also used, but not in acute period when it literally flows from the nose. Like any oil, thuja oil with a very wet mucosa can disrupt the function of the epithelium, which will lead to even more swelling and deterioration.

As soon as the runny nose enters the stage when thick, difficult-to-separate mucus accumulates in the nose, turning into crusts, dryness is felt in the nasal passages, homeopathic thuja oil can be instilled into the nose. It will soften dried mucus and help remove it, moisturize the mucous membrane, relieve inflammation, and facilitate nasal breathing.

Thuja oil for sinusitis

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the maxillary sinuses, a serious disease caused by infectious processes in the nasopharynx and upper respiratory tract. Often sinusitis develops with lingering runny nose when the outflow of the contents of the maxillary sinuses is disturbed, leading to inflammatory processes in them.

If in the background prolonged runny nose there is pressure in the nose, there are severe headaches in the forehead and temples, the body temperature has risen, purulent discharge from the nose, you must definitely contact the ENT doctor, as these signs may indicate inflammatory process in the maxillary sinuses.

When it comes to children, careful attention to outward signs diseases, as children cannot always explain what exactly they feel. Sinusitis is fraught with serious complications, therefore medical assistance necessary.

IN complex treatment sinusitis, various folk remedies in the form of nasal drops, inhalations, irrigations, washings. Thuja oil for sinusitis provides significant assistance:

• kills microbes,
• softens mucus and pus accumulated in the sinuses,
• due to its vasoconstrictive properties, it relieves mucosal edema,
• improves nasal breathing
• facilitates the outflow from the inflamed sinuses of its pathogenic contents.

Thuja oil for sinusitis is instilled 3-4 drops into each nostril 2-3 times a day for at least 10 days. In the future, you need to look at how you feel, if necessary, the course of oil treatment can be repeated after a short break.

For sinusitis, it is recommended to rinse the nose with a small syringe or medical syringe without a needle. For such washings, it is best to prepare a decoction or infusion of chamomile, sage or St. John's wort, adding 15 drops of thuja oil per liter of liquid. Such washings are especially important in the presence of thick and difficult to separate purulent contents in the maxillary sinuses.
