Suffumigi

«Herbal tea for colds

The fumigation, or more simply fumigation, is a practice with ancient origins, based on the reduction of a substance in fumes or vapors for therapeutic or disinfectant purposes (of the body, but also of the spirit).

The suffumigation technique is quite simple: the diseased part is placed on top of a container containing a given substance in hot infusion; thus, to carry out a fumigation of the respiratory tract, just cover your head with a cloth, to prevent the steam from dispersing, and breathe the fumes that rise from the container with your mouth open. Approximately every two minutes it is advisable to re-emerge and breathe the ambient air normally, and then repeat the entire operation two or three more times. The fumigations are therefore particularly indicated in the presence of pharyngitis, laryngitis, asthma, bronchial diseases, etc. In all these circumstances, phytotherapeutic products based on balsamic substances dissolved in water are particularly useful. Depending on the desired action, there are emollient, stimulant, dry fumigations, etc.

Today there are many types of fumigating devices on the market, which artificially create vapors derived from the drug used. In the phytotherapeutic sector, balsamic essential oils are often used, which must however be used in rather low concentrations, in the order of 5-6 drops per liter of hot, but not boiling water, in order to remove the risk of laryngospasm above all. in children. At higher concentrations, without exceeding 10 drops, the balsamic essential oils can be dissolved in bath water to obtain the same therapeutic effect. In general, it is important to avoid do-it-yourself, as fumigations with essential oils can be contraindicated. to different categories of subjects, such as for example asthmatics. More generally, these are preparations with a low therapeutic index, which as such may even result in non-free sale; particular attention is also paid to prolonged use, generally to be avoided. When, on the other hand, it is necessary to resort to the always not recommended do-it-yourself, it is better to put aside the fumigations with essential oils and use infusions of various plant drugs (leaves, flowers, etc.), to be added to boiling water and then inhaled the vapors. For colds, 30 grams of eucalyptus leaves in half a liter of boiling water can be enough.

Basil, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, marjoram, rosemary, tea tree and thyme are particularly suitable for colds or sinusitis. Anise, chamomile, peppermint and ginger are used when looking for an anti-inflammatory effect, while very hot fumes with a simple decoction of mallow or marshmallow are indicated in the presence of sore throats, for their ability to soothe the inflamed epithelium.

The fumigations of the tincture in water of benzoin, a fragrant arboreal or shrubby plant belonging to the Styracaceae family, are useful for treating colds, coughs and pharyngitis. The same goes for sodium benzoate fumigations, which soothe the inflamed epithelium and perform a mild expectorant action. The official Italian pharmacopoeia contains instructions for preparing a concentrated solution for fumigations, based on essences of eucalyptus, mint and Scots pine; the dosage is 10 drops per liter of boiling water.
