At this time of year when microbes invade the weakest organisms, the ENT sphere is the area most affected by this winter weather: clogged and congested noses,mucus, sore throat are so many symptoms common in most of the weakened population.
Respiration : pourquoi faire le choix des huiles essentielles ?
Généralement, les respiratory disorders Are the result of fouling a class of toxins created by the body, namely glues. These are mucosic substances transported by the lymph, the result of a healthy lifestyle to be rebalanced. Diet, elimination of toxic overload, sport, "work life balance" are all parameters to be modified to find a strong and healthy body that no longer lets itself be invaded by microbes. However, reality is there to confront us with a society in which it is difficult to take care of ourselves 100%. From then on, choosing one's mode of healing allows one to take care of oneself consciously with respect for one's own body but also with nature and the environment.
En effet, dans la médication allopathique, les sprays nasaux se vendent comme des petits pains, souvent sans prescription médicale, invitant alors l’usager à une consommation souvent quotidienne mais surtout abusive et non ciblée. Cette automédication devient dangereuse pour l’organisme qui s’adapte et s’accoutume bien trop rapidement aux molécules chimiques.
From then on, let's discover essential oils which accompanies in the framework of a support on the respiratory plan.
L’eucalyptus Radié : le Roi de la respiration
Utilisée en préventif autant qu’en curatif, l’huile essentielle d’eucalyptus radié Radiant - rich in 1.8 cineole - is abacterial and powerful antiviral. From then on, it is the ideal essential oil to counter the diseases that invade our bodies in winter. Indeed, this essential oil acts on the upper respiratory spheres, namely the nose, the upper bronchi and the throat. Moreover, it is anti-catarrhal (the catarrh is an acute or chronic inflammation of the mucous membranes, generating a hypersecretion of mucus at the level of the inflamed zone, being able to be then the seat of infection), mucolytic (which facilitates the expectoration of the bronchial secretions) and expectorant (fluidifying bronchial facilitating the expectoration of the secretions produced by the respiratory tract).
Utilisée en olfaction, en onction ou en diffusion, l'huile essentielle d'eucalyptus radiée – malgré ses quelques contre-indications – sera très adaptée pour respirer l’air frais du froid piquant que cet hiver nous impose.
La lavande et le tea-tree : pour aider le système immunitaire
These two essential oils are indispensable in the AROMA family kit. Indeed, the therapeutic properties of these two oils are suitable for many ailments. Therefore, when suffering from ENT disorders, they act with a disinfectant and antiseptic action.
Lavender will be preferred in its variety "aspic" which will then be ideal to treat the ground in background treatment. Moreover, its biochemistry allows an action on the broncho-pulmonary axis thanks to the presence of cineole oxide.
Teatree, due to its broad spectrum action will be able to help the weakened immune system and then allow for better ENT health very quickly.
Which essential oils to breathe better?
Le Niaouli : pour une ouverture respiratoire
De la famille des « melaleuca » tout comme le teatree, cette huile essentielle sera très intéressante sur les affections respiratoires. Majoritairement composé d’oxydes de cinéole, le niaouli permet d’ouvrir la respiration pour ceux qui sont très encombrés. En effet, c’est en frictionnant le torse et le haut du dos avec un mélange composé de niaouli et d’huile végétale neutre que le nez se débouchera rapidement pour offrir une respiration plus vaste et ample. Certains ajoutent à ce mélange l’huile essentielle d’eucalyptus radié pour un effet encore plus aérien.
Mixtures must be prepared under certain hygienic conditions and the proportions must not be measured randomly. If in doubt, consult your herbalist, phytotherapist or pharmacist.
Finally, despite the cold that our homes take on, think about airing out your home every day to renew the ambient air and thus allow for better oxygen circulation.
