Inhalation of "Chlorophyllipt" is considered one of the effective methods of additional therapy in the fight against tracheitis, pneumonia and bronchitis. This procedure is often prescribed to patients in hospital settings, as well as in clinics.
With the advent of such a well-known device as a nebulizer, and in connection with the possibility of its acquisition by a large number of people, inhalation of Chlorophyllipt became available at home.
Since the solution has a whole range of medicinal properties, happy owners of a nebulizer often use it for self-inhalation at the first signs of illness. Further in the article we will consider the indications for the use of such procedures, the features and duration of inhalation procedures and the recipe for preparing inhalation solutions with Chlorophyllipt at home.
Chlorophyllipt solution: medicinal properties and indications
"Chlorophyllipt" is obtained from an extract of eucalyptus leaves, and its solution is considered a powerful antiseptic that is particularly active against staphylococcus.
The medicine solution can be oily or alcoholic, but for inhalation the second option is the most effective.
In addition to treating various respiratory diseases, the drug has many indications for use.
A 2% solution of oily “Chlorophyllipt” is used to treat uterine erosion. An alcohol solution of the drug is used for various burns and trophic ulcers. This natural medicine is also used to combat diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant staphylococci. The solution is also used to combat various septic diseases.
How to dilute chlorophyllipt for inhalation
In order to prepare a chlorophyllipt solution, you also need a saline solution. It is noteworthy that the most useful substances are in the oil solution of the medicine, which, like the alcohol form of the medicine, is widely used for “saucepan” procedures.
To properly prepare a medicinal mixture, you must first dilute the medicine in saline solution, and then add the resulting liquid to water.
The proportions in which the components are taken are as follows - 1 ml. chlorophyllipt per 10 ml. saline solution.
Dosage of the product obtained by mixing the components - 3 ml is enough for 1 procedure. mixtures.
When treating with hot steam over a container, this mixture is poured into water brought to a temperature of 80 degrees. The volume of water for 1 therapy session is at least 600-800 ml.
Features of the use of chlorophyllipt solutions
A 2% oil solution of “Chlorophyllipt” is used to treat cervical erosion (medicinal tampons are soaked in it and inserted into the vagina). A 1% alcohol solution is used for therapeutic and preventive douching. To do this, 15 ml of solution is diluted in a liter of water.
Also, 1% Chlorophyllipt is used to accelerate the healing of burns and trophic ulcers. In these cases, it is diluted in a ratio of 1:5 with a solution of procaine. To prevent the development of complications in the abdominal cavity after surgical interventions, as well as in case of empyema and peritonitis, a 0.25% alcohol solution of Chlorophyllipt with the same solution of procaine is administered orally through a drainage tube.
If the intestines are affected by staphylococcus, therapeutic enemas with a 1% alcohol solution of Chlorophyllipt diluted with water are recommended in a ratio of 20 ml per 1 liter. Also, a 1% solution can be taken orally by diluting 5 ml in 30 ml of water.
Rinsing the mouth and throat with 1% alcohol “Chlorophyllipt” is quite effective. To do this, 1 small spoon of the drug is diluted with 1 tablespoon of boiled water.
For diseases of the ENT organs, 1% alcohol “Chlorophyllipt” is used for inhalation in a nebulizer. In this case, the drug is diluted with saline in a ratio of 1:10.
How to carry out the procedure
Inhalations with chlorophyllipt are considered safe. They are allowed for young children and infants. However, they must be approved by a doctor. It is also necessary to make sure that the little patient is not allergic to the medication. This is especially true for the inhalation process, carried out for children and during pregnancy.
The key to the effectiveness of therapy using Chlorophyllipt is the correct preparation of the solution and compliance with the rules for inhalation manipulation.
Preparation of the solution
Chlorophyllipt for inhalation, especially in a nebulizer, is recommended to be used in the form of an alcohol solution. The oil preparation cannot be sprayed into the smallest particles. Before starting the manipulation, the medication must be diluted with saline in a dosage of 1:10.
How to use in a nebulizer
A nebulizer is a device that is used for inhalation. Its mechanism of action differs from the operation of conventional steam inhalers. The device converts liquid medications into a fine aerosol state.
In the treatment of sore throat or runny nose, aerosol inhalation is used as an additional treatment. A nebulizer allows you to “deliver” the medication directly to the inflammatory focus. In this situation, a regular inhaler will not be effective.
For rapid absorption of the medicinal solution into the mucous membrane, it must be heated to the temperature of the human body. Many modern inhalation devices have a thermostatic and heating function. The nebulizer tank is refilled exclusively using sterile syringes and needles.
The rules for undergoing inhalation therapy include the following:
- It is not recommended to eat an hour before the session,
- It is forbidden to have conversations while undergoing inhalation,
- the patient’s clothing should be loose, not constricting the neck and chest,
- during a respiratory illness, the aerosol is inhaled through the nose, during bronchitis and lung problems - through the mouth,
- It is not recommended to take a deep breath during manipulation (this will lead to coughing), you should breathe as usual,
- before inhaling Chlorophyllipt, the mouth and throat should be rinsed to remove plaque, and it is unacceptable to use an antiseptic,
- if the doctor has prescribed mucolytic therapy for the patient, then the interval between inhalation and taking them should be 1-1.5 hours,
- At the end of the session, it is recommended to rinse your mouth with water to get rid of the unpleasant taste,
- after the manipulation, the patient should remain at rest for 30 minutes,
- in the cold season, going outside after undergoing the procedure is allowed after 40-50 minutes.
Possible side effects
When using the drug, in rare cases, the development of side effects is observed. These include:
- allergy,
- swelling of the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx,
- feeling of suffocation
- rash and redness on the skin,
- nausea, vomiting,
- muscle spasms,
- with long-term use of Chlorophyllipt in inhalation, severe dry mucous membranes of the respiratory organs are possible.
If at least one of these symptoms occurs, you should stop the course of treatment and go to the clinic to see a doctor.
Precaution
Before you start treatment with Chlorophyllipt, you need to do a drug tolerance test. For this purpose, steam inhalation is performed. To do this, it is recommended to dilute the medication in the proportion of 1 teaspoon of medication per glass of water. The duration of the session is 1.5-2 minutes.
In the absence of allergies, nebulizer use of the medication is permissible. This precaution is necessary, since inhalation sessions using a nebulizer contribute to a deeper penetration of the medication into the respiratory system, and, therefore, the adverse reaction will be more pronounced.
Correctly carried out therapy with Chlorophyllipt will stop the development of the disease at an early stage, thus avoiding complications.
Indications for the use of chlorophyllipt inhalations
Chlorophyllipt inhalation also has many indications for use. The procedure speeds up recovery and significantly alleviates the patient’s condition in cases of the following diseases:
- bronchitis;
- pharyngitis;
- diseases of the ENT organs caused by staphylococcal infection;
- laryngitis;
- tracheitis;
- Laryngo-tracheitis.
It is worth noting that therapists quite often prescribe inhalations with Chlorophyllipt to children, since this procedure has practically no contraindications, and the likelihood of a child having an allergic reaction to such inhalation is almost zero.
Inhalation of Chlorophyllipt, carried out using a nebulizer, is considered a very effective remedy in the fight against various diseases of the ENT organs and upper respiratory tract.
Benefits of home inhalations
The nebulizer differs favorably from inhalers located in hospital physiotherapy rooms due to its small size and compactness. At the same time, the principle of operation of a nebulizer is no different from huge hospital inhalation units. Accordingly, it is convenient to use at home, and the main advantage is that the nebulizer can be used at any time of the day (both for planned therapy and for emergency treatment, for example, if a patient is suffering from an acute attack of incessant cough in the middle of the night).
The action of this device is based on the fact that the nebulizer converts the medicinal solution poured into it into an aerosol for inhalation. This ability of the device comes in very handy in cases where the action of the medicinal solution is needed directly by the respiratory tract and ENT organs. When inhaled, the medicinal solution sprayed down to the smallest particles by a nebulizer enters the respiratory tract and onto the inflamed mucous membrane.
"Chlorophyllipt" alcohol for inhalation with a nebulizer is also suitable and is used quite often. There is a special recipe for preparing an inhalation solution based on Chlorophyllipt, which we will consider further.
"Chlorophyllipt" for inhalation in a nebulizer
Most nebulizer solutions are prepared on the basis of a universal medical product - saline solution. "Chlorophyllipt" for inhalation must also be diluted beforehand. To do this, 1 part of the Chlorophyllipt solution is mixed with 10 parts of saline solution.
Next, 3 ml of the resulting mixture is poured into the nebulizer. Children need to inhale “Chlorophyllipt” prepared in this way for inhalation in a nebulizer for 5 minutes. The duration of inhalation for adults is 10 minutes. It is recommended to repeat the procedure three times a day.
How to dilute, in what dosage?
There are several nuances that are taken into account when preparing a solution for inhalation.
It is worth taking into account:
- Have similar procedures been carried out previously?
- What age group does the patient belong to?
- Does he have a tendency to allergic reactions?
- What medications does the person take on a regular basis?
If inhalations using Chlorophyllipt have not been carried out previously, the solution is prepared according to a special scheme.
Add 5 ml of the drug to 250 ml of water, mix everything thoroughly and use it for inhalation. The duration of the procedure is 2–3 minutes.
This is a test inhalation; its implementation will help determine the body’s susceptibility to the drug and its components. If no allergies are detected, then you can prepare another, more concentrated solution.

Inhalations for adults
The procedure requires compliance with certain rules; its average duration is 10 minutes. It can be increased, but only after consultation with a specialist.
The preparation of the solution occupies a special place; close attention is paid to this process; for inhalation with a nebulizer you can use:
- alcohol solution of Chlorophyllipt;
- Chlorophyllipt oil solution.
Preference is given to alcohol, it is diluted with mineral water without gas, saline solution.
Proportions:
- For 1 part Chlorophyllipt (alcohol solution).
- You will need 10 parts of saline solution.
The resulting liquid is thoroughly mixed and poured into the nebulizer tank, and then inhalations begin. The procedures are done at least 3 times per knock with breaks.

For children
If a child has a sore throat or cough, he can be inhaled with a nebulizer. This procedure is simple and not painful. Its duration is 5 minutes. To treat children, only an oil-based solution is used. Chlorophyllipt is diluted in the following proportions:
- 1 ml Chlorophyllipt, oil solution;
- 10 ml saline solution.
For inhalation, only 3 ml of solution is required; it is poured into the reservoir and the procedure begins.
In children, the body's sensitivity to the drug is high, so it is worth doing a test inhalation - this will help avoid the development of allergic reactions and unwanted side effects.
Precautionary measures
Despite the fact that such inhalations are considered harmless, it is still recommended to take precautions before performing the first procedure. Even if Chlorophyllipt inhalation was prescribed by a doctor, it is worth conducting a test for an allergic reaction before starting.
On various medical forums, it is advised to take 25 drops of chlorophyllipt solution and dilute them in 20 ml of water. The resulting mixture is drunk and the body’s reaction is observed over the next 5-8 hours. If during this time no allergic reactions occur, the drug can be safely used, including for inhalation.
Inhalation manipulations for adults
Inhalation using Chlorophyllipt requires compliance with a number of rules. Its duration should not exceed 10 minutes. Increasing the time of inhalation manipulation is possible only as prescribed by a doctor.
It is equally important to be able to properly prepare the solution. Chlorophyllipt is used in nebulizer therapy in the form of:
- alcohol solution,
- medicine prepared in oil.
It is preferable to use the drug in alcohol. On the eve of filling it into the nebulizer, Chlorophyllipt must be diluted with non-carbonated mineral water or saline solution. Dilution is carried out in compliance with the following proportion: one part of an alcohol solution of the drug to 10 parts of solvent.
The resulting composition is used in nebulizer inhalation immediately after its preparation. It is recommended to conduct the session three times during the day.
Patient reviews
It is impossible to come across negative feedback from patients about Chlorophyllipt inhalation. Many of those who practice inhalation with this solution at home write only praise for the medicine. Patients write that inhalations with this drug really help relieve severe sore throats. They note that the unpleasant soreness and swelling become noticeably less after the first inhalation.
Patients note the availability of the drug and its low price as the main advantages. Patients also like the fact that, despite its undeniable effectiveness, Chlorophyllipt is an exclusively natural drug and contains absolutely no chemical or synthetic additives.
