Features of use in childhood

The dosage is prescribed in the instructions (age is taken into account). For example, at 2-3 years old - 1 drop in each sinus, once a day. Children from 6 years old - two drops, 2 times / day. Also, the nasal passages are washed with an oil solution. To do this, 5-6 drops of the concentrate are mixed with chamomile decoction. The procedure is carried out 4 r / day.

Before instilling or rinsing the nose, slightly salted water is poured into the sinuses with a pipette.

The pure extract is diluted with another oil in a 1: 6 ratio. In this case, the child should sit with his head thrown back. After instillation, he needs to lie down for 5-10 minutes.

Dosage

Thuja oil in the nose for children (parents' reviews indicate that even babies can tolerate the drug well) from ready-made pharmacy options are selected depending on the disease. There are several treatment regimens from which to choose the right one.

Before the procedure, you need to rinse your nose. To do this, you can use ready-made preparations Dolphin, Aquamaris or Otrivin. Or make your own rinsing solution by diluting a little sea salt in warm water.

Aroma baths can be made with thuja oil, but only after five years (for disease prevention and therapy). They help in the treatment of inflamed adenoids. To do this, warm water is taken into the bath and 5-6 drops of the extract are poured into it. You need to lie in it for 15 minutes. The procedure is performed daily. The course of therapy is a month. Then the frequency of taking aromavannas is reduced to 2-3 times / 7 days.

At 5 and 6 - the alternation of the first two stages is repeated. The procedures should be carried out 2-3 times a day.
3	4	The first two weeks after cleansing the nose, 4 drops of thuja oil are injected into each nostril. Take a break of 14 days and then repeat the procedure for another 2 weeks.

Before each procedure, the oil must be heated and instilled warm (room temperature). The bottle can be held under hot water or warmed in your hands. When treating adenoids, 4 scheme is chosen, and during a break, the thuja oil is replaced with sea buckthorn (2 drops in each nostril). It also has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, it can temporarily replace the thuja oil.

When treating adenoids, a scheme with a homeopathic remedy Job Malysh can be used. They can be used at the same time as the tools are compatible. In each nasal passage, 3 drops of diluted thuja extract. Then, with an interval of 3-4, alternate with Job the Kid. Instead of injecting oil, the nostrils can be lubricated. Babies tolerate this procedure more easily and resist less. In this case, the effectiveness of the treatment will not decrease.

Inhalation

Thuja oil can be used for inhalation, but only in the absence of fever, severe lingering cough, for children from five years old. This will require an extract, boiling water and a special mask. Pour 250 ml of hot water into a container and stir 5 drops of diluted thuja extract in it. The child should breathe in pairs for 15 minutes, 1-2 times / day. The course of therapy is determined by the doctor.

For inhalation, you can use an aroma lamp:

1. In the treatment of the respiratory tract, the adenoids will benefit from inhaling air saturated with ether vapor. To do this, pour 2-4 drops of the extract onto the aroma lamp. Keep the device on for 2 hours.
2. Drip 1-2 drops of pure extract onto the aroma lamp at night. The procedure should be performed only 2-3 times / week. But you need to carefully monitor how the child feels. Especially when they additionally carry out treatment with thuja oil in the form of compresses, instillations.

Aromatherapy is prohibited if the child has an intolerance to herbal odors, essential extracts. But when there are no contraindications, then aroma inhalation can be used as a prophylaxis. For example, apply 1 drop of diluted oil (15%) to the pillow per day.

The types of inhalation include aroma medallions. They apply 2 drops of thuja oil (for each). Then they are worn around the neck. The locket begins to release ethereal vapors. Since they are concentrated near the nasopharynx, they act on the mucous membrane, making breathing much easier. The medallion can be worn during the day, left overnight. During this time, breathing and nasal congestion become heavier. Therefore, the medallion will ease the symptoms, the child's sleep will normalize.

Aromatic inhalations can be carried out in the bath, sauna. To do this, 10 drops of thuja oil are poured onto hot stones. As a result, vapors will go, which have a beneficial effect on the respiratory system. The procedure makes breathing easier, eliminates sinus congestion. If a bath and a sauna are contraindicated for a child, then 10 drops of thuja oil are added to a spray bottle with water. Then the room is sprayed daily.

Washing

You can also wash with thuja oil. To do this, mix 2 tbsp. l. chopped calendula, chamomile and sage. Pour 250 ml of boiling water over them, then leave for 20 minutes. Add 20 drops of thuja extract to the product. Then cool, drain. The nose needs to be rinsed 2 times / day.

Another option is to mix in 2 tbsp. l. aloe and chamomile, pour in 20 drops of thuja oil. Pour a glass of boiling water over them and leave until the product cools down. Then strain, rinse the sinuses twice every day. But this infusion is not suitable for children under 1 year old.

What not to do

Thuja oil in the nose for children (reviews indicate that it is impossible to use the concentrate in its pure form) has some contraindications for use:

• children under the age of three;
• allergy to needles or ethers;
• epilepsy;
• bronchial asthma;
• severe cardiovascular disease;
• intolerance to individual components of the drug.

Even if there are no contraindications, every time you need to monitor how the baby is feeling. If, instead of a positive effect, there is difficulty breathing, redness, swelling, then the drug cannot be used further, and the child must be urgently shown to the doctor.

To determine if thuja oil can be used for therapy, you must first perform a test. To do this, a drop of the product is applied to the skin behind the ears, wrist, or the inner surface of the elbow. Wait 1 hour, if during this time there is no redness, burning, itching or rashes, then there is no allergy. If negative symptoms occur, thuja oil cannot be used to treat a baby.

It is forbidden to combine treatment with thuja oil with other folk methods and artificial medicines, unless agreed with the doctor. As well as the daily use of an aroma lamp, especially when an additional agent is instilled into the nose or inhaled. Overloading the respiratory system is harmful to the baby.

You cannot rely only on thuja oil for advanced diseases. For example, in the third stage of tonsil hypertrophy. Thuja oil without medication and surgery will only help at the onset of the disease. In the latter stages, treatment is carried out with a surgical operation.

Thuja oil in the nose is not only suitable for children. According to reviews, adults and pregnant women can also use the tool. But since babies are not recommended to give synthetic drugs, it is most often used to treat children. Thuja oil simultaneously forms and strengthens the immune response, as a result, the likelihood of re-disease is significantly reduced.
