Essence Algérienne: Solution for Inhalation by Fumigation

Algerian Essence is a medication used as a decongestant for common respiratory conditions (colds, nasopharyngitis) in adults and children over 12 years of age.

Fumigation uses water vapor to carry the volatile components of essential oils. The active molecules, inhaled through the nostrils, easily penetrate the respiratory tract: the nasal cavities and the back of the throat, the pharynx and larynx, the trachea, and the bronchi. This treatment method is therefore particularly useful for winter ailments. Another benefit is that fumigation is effective at purifying the air in the room.

What benefits can you expect?
Ready-to-use blends combine essential oils specifically suited for this purpose. Their antiseptic and soothing properties are fully expressed through fumigation. It is an excellent way to decongest the mucous membranes, thereby relieving the symptoms of the common cold, rhinitis, and nasopharyngitis. While reducing inflammation, it also helps prevent the risk of a secondary bacterial infection.

For adults, it is sometimes helpful to use Coquelusédal suppositories—which are effective against acute bronchitis—if there are associated bronchial symptoms.

epilepsy.
A chronic seizure disorder associated with abnormal electrical activity of a group of brain cells. Its manifestations, varying in intensity, range from the sudden drop in attention (absences, or small evil) to loss of consciousness accompanied by abnormal muscle movements (convulsions, or great evil). Partial epilepsy, as its name implies, does not concern the whole body: the jerky movements only touch one or more muscle groups.


inhalation

  • Method of administration of volatile substances, dissolved in hot water. These substances are intended to act on the respiratory tract.
