Algerian Essence solution for inhalation by fumigation

Algerian Essence is a drug used as a decongestant during common respiratory diseases (colds, nasopharyngitis), in adults and children over 12 years old.

Fumigation uses water vapor to transport the volatile components of essential oils. The active molecules, inhaled through the nostrils, easily penetrate the respiratory tract: nasal cavity and back throat, pharynx and larynx, trachea artery and bronchi. This mode of treatment therefore has all its usefulness in the face of winter conditions. Another advantage is that fumigation is effective in cleaning up the ambient air.

What benefits to expect ?
The ready-to-use complexes combine essential oils suitable for this use. Their antiseptic and calming properties are fully expressed through fumigation. It is a great way to decongest the mucous membranes, so relieve the symptoms of coryza, rhinitis and nasopharyngitis. While moderating the inflammation, the risks of secondary infection with bacteria are also prevented.

antecedents

antiseptic
A substance that locally destroys bacteria, reducing their numbers and preventing their proliferation. Some antiseptics are also active on microscopic fungi and viruses.


convulsions
Involuntary contractions limited to a few muscles or generalized to the whole body. They are due to excessive pain or stimulation of the brain: fever, poisoning, lack of oxygen, brain damage. Convulsions may be due to an epileptic seizure or high fever in young children.


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
  • A general term for the absorption through the mouth and nose of gaseous substances or suspended particles that diffuse into the respiratory tract after deep breathing.
  • Method of administration of volatile substances, dissolved in hot water. These substances are intended to act on the respiratory tract. Unlike the aerosol, which requires electrical equipment, inhalation is practiced in a simple way: by breathing the vapors of a solution contained in a bowl, the head covered with a towel. There are inexpensive inhaler bowls in pharmacies with a mouthpiece covering the mouth and nose.

dosages

These are traditionally used for their respiratory properties (stimulating, expectorant, antiseptic) and their revulsive power when applied to the skin. The most used are camphor, menthol, eucalyptol, essential oils of mint, turpentine, niaouli, pine, anise, etc.
Some terpenes, and especially camphor, have been responsible for convulsions, respiratory pauses in the infant, in case of overdose. They can also cause behavioral problems in the elderly. These products should be used with caution at the extreme ages of life.
