Therapeutic action: The method of treating the airways with an inhaler (nebuliser) is recognised as very effective and safe. Inhalation therapy enables a rapid impact on the area of inflammation by means of high doses of medicine, which in turn increases the effectiveness of the treatment and lowers the risk of side effects on other organs. According to clinical data, recovery occurs up to 2 times faster. With this, you can reduce the use of the usual tablets and syrups. The use of inhalation therapy will help to more quickly overcome the attack of shortness of breath in chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, etc., as well as to prevent their exacerbation. The effect of steam inhalation is based on the effect of hot steam. It moistens the respiratory tract and achieves a good expectorant effect. Given that the steam particles are large enough, they are mainly deposited in the oral cavity.
Therapeutic effects of inhalation: steam inhalation improves the local blood supply to the mucous membranes of the airways, effectively improves drainage functions (extremely effective in the presence of nasal obstruction) and has a number of other effects which can be summarised as follows:
- Elimination of impurities along the course of the airways by improving drainage;
- Improving blood vessel circulation: local warming leads to dilation of blood vessels and improved oxygen and nutrient supply;
- Humidification of the airways;
- Expectorant function: steam inhalation acts as a natural expectorant;
- Overall relief and improvement of breathing;
* Action on the skin – The method leads to the dilation of the skin pores, improving the local blood supply to the skin, has a detoxifying effect and, as a result, helps to maintain a healthy and youthful appearance of the skin;
*Action on the whole body – Steam inhalation, especially in combination with essential oils, leads to overall relaxation of the mind and body, improves mood, clears the mind, and warming leads to increased production of white blood cells and consequently increases the body’s immune activity and protection against environmental pathogens.
