Oil of thuja at a cold in children
One of the most common drugs of traditional medicine in the treatment of children's cold is homeopathic oil of thuja, in the instruction to which it says that it increases immunity, perfectly fights against viral infections and in a short period of time relieves the symptoms of colds.
So, if it was decided to use this phyto-drug to combat the course from the nose, then it is worth remembering that it is possible to apply only non-concentrated (homeopathic) thai oil for contact procedures, since 100% essential raw materials will cause a severe burn, not only in the child, but also in the adult.
If you can not find one in the pharmacy, then you can go an alternative way and prepare it yourself. To do this, it is necessary to tear off a few tuja needles, wash, dry, cut and pour olive oil in a ratio of 1:10 (one part of the needles take 10 times more oil). After that, the mixture is poured into a vessel with a lid and placed in a dark place for 10 days. At the end of this period, the homeopathic oil of thuya is filtered and used to treat the common cold in children of different etiologies. The so prepared agent is a 5% oil of a coniferous plant, which can be used without fear, starting from infancy.
Tui Oil for Children - instruction manual
This remedy can be used both for washing the nasal sinuses, and for instillation and moistening of the mucosa. It is quite simple to apply it, but there are recommendations:
- Thuja oil for washing the nose.
- Tui oil for instillation.
- Thuya oil for moisturizing and removing dried crusts.
The solution for the procedure is prepared on the basis of the infusion of chamomile and sage. To do this, take a teaspoon of these herbs and pour 100 ml of boiling water. The liquid is placed in a thermos bottle and insisted for several hours. After that, the solution is cooled, filtered and added to it 15-20 drops of a homeopathic remedy.
In the manual for thuya oil it is prescribed that for the treatment of children it can be used, beginning with birth, but only if the plant does not have allergies. Dosages of oil for combating snot vary, depending on the age of the youngster and it is desirable that they are prescribed by a doctor. However, if you can not visit the hospital, then you can apply a standard treatment scheme: from birth to a year - 1 drop in each nasal passage 2 times a day; from one to three years - 1-2 drops three times during the day; after three years - 2-3 drops 3 times a day, depending on the severity of the disease.
Before applying thuja oil, however, like any other remedy, the nasal sinuses should be cleaned of mucus. This will ensure not only the maximum effect of the drug, but also will not lead to undesirable consequences of the common cold, for example, sinusitis.
To do this, you need a cotton swab or curled cotton wool in a tube to moisten in homeopathic oil thuja. After that, treat the nasal passages and wait 5-10 minutes, lightly massaging the baby's spout. After this procedure, it will not be difficult to remove dried mucus.
The use of thuya oil in aromatherapy
In conclusion, I want to note that tuya oil is a good remedy for a cold for children of any age. It can be used as an addition to medicinal preparations, and it is possible, if not a severe runny nose, to manage only them.
