How to use thuja oil to treat a child?

Adenoids are areas of lymphoid tissue overgrown in the nasopharynx. Most often, children aged 2-14 years suffer from adenoids. Enlarged tonsils disturb the baby's nasal breathing, as the mucous membrane swells a lot.

In this case, the flow of mucus from the nose may not be observed, and the child will still breathe through the mouth. Other signs of adenoids in a child:

• Headaches.
• Snoring during sleep.
• Constant nasal congestion.
• Vileness.
• Thick discharge from the nose.
• Cough worse at night.

Any rhinovirus infection has a long course and is difficult to treat. If the child has a set of the listed symptoms, then the parents should take him to an otolaryngologist.

Another danger of adenoids is that they are a source of infection, which can lead to systematic intoxication of the body as a whole and reduce its natural defenses.

In childhood, untreated adenoids can cause the following health problems:

• Hearing impairment.
• Delay in speech development.
• Pathological development of the bones of the face and teeth.
• Frequent otitis media.
• Frequent inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract: tracheitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis.
• Frequent colds infections, their protracted course.
• Backlog in the school curriculum.
• Nervous disorders.

There are three degrees of development of adenoids in a child. If the baby has the initial stage of the disease, then he breathes through his nose, but at night he switches to mouth breathing. The second and third degrees of the disease are characterized by severe nasal congestion, nocturnal snoring, daytime lethargy, and irritability. With the third degree of adenoids, the child suffers from frequent ARVI, he may have serious hearing problems.

If the adenoids have an uncomplicated course, then they can be treated with conservative methods. The little patient is sent to undergo physiotherapy, vitamins and immunostimulants are prescribed to him. It is imperative to cleanse the nose of mucus, for which the nasal passages are rinsed with disinfecting solutions. Then, various drugs are injected into the nose that have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-edema effects.

When the lymphoid tissue is overgrowing, it must be removed. There are no other ways to help a sick child. It is always worth remembering that surgery is stressful for the baby, which means that it is better to treat the disease in the early stages of its development. Thuja oil can provide a very tangible help in this, especially since it is safe for the health of the child and helps to increase his immunity.

How to properly instill oil in a child's nose?

Only homeopathic thuja oil can be injected into the child's nose. Essential oil is not used for this purpose. The concentration of the plant squeeze in the bottle should not exceed 15%.

The procedure is as follows:

• Pour saline into a pipette, tilt the child's head and rinse both nasal passages with this product. Then you need to ask the child to blow his nose.
• 2 drops of thuja oil are injected into each nasal passage. In this case, the head must be kept slightly thrown back.
• After instillation of the product, the child is placed in bed and left in this position for 10 minutes.

Treatment lasts a month, after which they take a break for 30 days. If necessary, the course of treatment can be repeated 3-4 times.

Thuja oil for rhinitis and sinusitis

For rhinitis, thuja oil should not be used for acute treatment. The oily consistency of the product can disrupt the work of the nasal mucosa, increase its swelling and aggravate the course of the disease.

Thuja oil should be used when the mucus in the nose thickens and begins to separate with difficulty. The drug liquefies the contents of the sinuses, facilitates breathing, eliminates the inflammatory process, moisturizes the mucous membrane.

With sinusitis, inflammation of the sinuses occurs, which is often the result of prolonged and sluggish rhinitis. The natural drainage of mucus from the sinuses is disrupted, which leads to inflammation of their mucous membranes.

Sinusitis will be indicated by pressing pains in the nose and eye sockets, severe headaches, and an increase in body temperature. The mucus separated from the nasal passages has a yellow tint, which means the presence of pus in it. In this case, you need to contact an otolaryngologist as soon as possible.

Thuja oil is used in a comprehensive treatment for sinusitis, along with vasoconstrictor drops, rinsing the nose with antiseptic solutions, and inhalation.

The effect of using thuja oil is as follows:

• Destruction of microbes.
• Improving the outflow of mucus and purulent masses.
• Relief of nasal breathing.
• Liquefaction of thick secretions.

The drug should be injected into each nasal passage 2-3 times a day, 3-4 drops. The course of treatment should last at least 10 days. If necessary, it is extended, but first a minimum break is taken.

You can enhance the healing effect of using thuja oil with the help of aromatherapy. For this, a tablespoon of water and 4 drops of thuja oil are poured into an aromatic lamp. Inhalation of therapeutic vapors helps to increase the general tone of the body, disinfect the air, and improve mood.

About the dangers of thuja oil
