Excessive dryness of the nasal mucous membranes becomes an urgent problem during cold weather, when the level humidity in the room decreases due to the operation of the central heating system, as well as when frosty air on street.

Applying peach oil to your throat

Peach oil is used not only in the treatment of the nose, but also for sore throat and sore throat. Due to its soft texture, it has a soft, enveloping effect. Oil is used for treatment in various ways.

Instillation through the nose

The effectiveness of instilling oil through the mouth lies in the fact that through the nasal sinuses it will get exactly to the place of inflammation, and not into the digestive tract. The remedy begins to exert a local effect, relieving puffiness, pain and inflammation.

Lubrication and spraying

In inflammatory processes of the nasopharynx (for example, with pharyngitis), it is recommended to lubricate with peach oil. To do this, they lubricate the oral mucosa. The result is a gradual drainage of oil along the larynx mucosa - it has a calming effect, relieving inflammation and pain when swallowing.

Irrigation with oil is carried out mainly when the vocal cords are damaged. This problem is observed among teachers, singers, orators. It is recommended to irrigate the ligaments in a medical institution where a special syringe is used.

At home, spray your throat with special sprayers and be very careful to minimize the entry of oil into the digestive tract. Otherwise, it can cause digestive problems, painful sensations in the stomach and other unpleasant symptoms.

Rinses

Gargling is the most common way to use oil to heal your throat.

Perform it as follows:

1. Dissolve a few drops of oil in boiled warm water. It will float on the surface, so for better dissolution, you need to add a little honey or milk to it.
2. The resulting mixture should be rinsed for about 5 r. in a day.

Steam inhalation

Inhalation using oil is also effective, since it penetrates as deep as possible in the form of steam, gently affecting and enveloping the damaged throat.

To conduct them you need:

• Boil water (500 ml) in a suitable saucepan.
• Next, 5 drops of oil should be added to it.
• After that, the steam should be breathed over the pan, inhaling it through the nose, and exhaling through the mouth. Covering your head with a towel is recommended to avoid rapid evaporation of the steam. This procedure should be carried out carefully so as not to burn the face and mucous membranes.

You can simplify the treatment process by using special steam inhalers, where you just need to pour the prepared solution. Inhalation not only relieves sore throat, but also relieves nasal congestion. To do this, you need to breathe over the steam with peach oil for 10 minutes. Steam inhalation is not used to treat children under 3 years of age.

Can I use cosmetic peach oil in the nose?

When treating, it is necessary to use only pure (edible) essential oil. The use of a cosmetic product can cause irritation of the mucous membranes, itching and increased dryness, as it lends itself additional processing (as a result of this, valuable substances are lost) and often contains dyes, preservatives and other chemical connections. Cosmetic oil is used only externally - it can, for example, lubricate the wings of the nose to prevent flaking and dry skin.

• Cold-pressed oil should be purchased, since it has not undergone heat treatment and all useful substances are preserved in it.
• The bottle of oil must be sealed and made of dark glass. It is important to inspect it carefully for damage. After opening, the bottle of oil after use should be sealed and stored in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
