Beeswax treatment of a runny nose

Treatment of sinusitis involves the prescription of many medications. You may be surprised, but in some cases ointments are also included in the treatment regimen for this disease. The most common ointments prescribed by ENT doctors are: Fleming, Ichthyol, Levomekol, Vishnevsky, Simanovsky, Doctor Mom. In addition to them, if you wish, you can independently prepare an ointment for sinusitis at home from available ingredients. The main thing before this is to coordinate the use of such a remedy with your doctor.

Liniment Vishnevsky

Everyone is probably familiar with this “fragrant” drug. But not everyone knows about its healing properties for sinusitis. Liniment consists of xeroform, birch tar and castor oil. Xeroform has strong antiseptic properties and effectively copes with most pathological microorganisms characteristic of purulent inflammation. Birch tar also has an antiseptic effect. In addition, tar increases local blood circulation, accelerating the resorption of infiltrates and the removal of purulent exudate. Castor oil improves tissue permeability and has a regenerating effect.

Vishnevsky ointment can be used in its pure form, but more often it is recommended to add additional components to it:

take cyclamen and aloe juice in equal quantities;
add a little honey and garlic juice.

It is important to make sure that the person being treated with this composition does not have hypersensitivity to any of the components of the drug.

All ingredients are thoroughly mixed with liniment, the resulting mixture is applied to cotton swabs and placed in the nasal passages for 10-30 minutes. If a strong burning sensation is observed, it is better to stop the procedure earlier so as not to damage the nasal mucosa and not to prolong the recovery period.

Using this remedy for sinusitis allows you to speed up the cleansing of the nasal passages and sinuses from pus and secretions accumulated there, eliminate swelling of the nasal mucosa and reduce inflammation.

At what age is it accepted? The child has a runny nose...Can we take it for a year old? Hardly inside. Firstly, all ointments are based on bee products, and secondly, there are ointments that are more gentle - for colds or Free Breathing. When children have a runny nose, they can be used externally on children - lubricate the nose and chest My mark:

I bought ointment in Gelendzhik. Before this, I suffered from sinusitis for several years, tried many treatment options - to no avail, the inflammatory process only worsened over time. After using the ointment it became much easier. The inflammation has gone down!!! Now, at the first sign, I use this wonderful remedy. Thanks a lot!!! The jar is running low... I really want to buy it, but delivery is more expensive than the product itself. Do you have sales points in Taganrog? Galina, thank you very much for your feedback! Good health to you! So far in Taganrog we do not have points of sale of monastery ointments.

Doctor Mom

Doctor Mom ointment is known for its positive effect on various colds. This ointment can also be used as part of complex therapy for sinusitis. Doctor Mom contains:

camphor;
thymol;
menthol;
turpentine, eucalyptus and nutmeg oils.

The ointment is applied to the bridge of the nose and wings of the nose. It has an irritating, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, improves nasal breathing, and eliminates headaches. Using Doctor Mom, you can significantly reduce the number of uses of vasoconstrictor drops and experience noticeable relief from sinusitis.

Beneficial features

In folk medicine, wax is widely used as a basis for the treatment of almost all problems associated with skin diseases, joint pathologies and problems of the musculoskeletal system. Quite often, special recommendations relate to eliminating:

psoriasis;
eczema;
fungal infections;
reducing the effects of varicose veins;
cleansing the skin and reducing the manifestations of the inflammatory process;
seasonal nutrition and protection from adverse weather conditions.

Wax is an excellent remedy for treating joints. Moreover, the form does not matter: you can make applications from heated, plastic pure wax, or you can smear sore spots with ointments and creams based on it.

Wax has long been used to warm the lungs, nose and throat. It is enough to heat it to the desired consistency and fix the plate on the inflamed area. And in the form of an ointment, it will also have a healing effect.

The wax itself contains more than 50 compounds, but the predominance of esters in it makes the substance a strong bactericidal agent.

By adding nothing to the wax, for example, tea tree or eucalyptus oil, you can get a strong antiseptic, and aloe extract or grape seed oil will make the ointment an indispensable nourishing cream.

In general, there are a lot of options for creativity, the main thing is to know the basic principle of making the ointment and its basic recipe. Then you can change the products at least every day.

Using wax as a natural base for ointments has important advantages: its use does not cause any side effects. Unlike synthetic thickeners, wax is absolutely harmless, and its properties have been tested by the thousand-year history of beekeeping.

Before use, you should find out if you have an allergy. This is the only contraindication for using wax. The composition may contain pollen, particles of honey or pieces of propolis. Inert in itself, wax can cause a negative reaction only due to their presence.

The product pierces the maxillary sinuses and draws out the purulent contents that have accumulated here due to the proliferation of bacteria.

Therefore, you should not try to cure sinusitis on your own using ointment alone. It is necessary to consult a doctor who, after conducting research, will prescribe the optimal course of treatment.

Cooking method

Making the ointment does not require any special skills and will not take much time.

Types of pharmaceutical ointments for sinusitis

The type of nasal cream is selected depending on the form of sinusitis and the nature of the disease. In later stages of development, which are fraught with dangerous complications, otolaryngologists prescribe complex ointments. These are products that are manually prepared in a pharmacy from a mixture of several active medicinal components.

Such drugs include Simanovsky ointment. Depending on the preparation recipe, it has a local anesthetic or decongestant effect. The addition of an antibiotic is indicated for bacterial forms. The price of the composition depends on the cost of its ingredients.

In addition to pharmaceutical creams, hand-made by a pharmacist, for sinusitis, local products produced at pharmaceutical factories and commercially available are used. Based on their form of action, these drugs are divided into moisturizing, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory. Complex action products are produced that simultaneously provide several therapeutic effects.

Antimicrobial

To treat bacterial or purulent forms of sinusitis in children and adults, medications containing antibiotics are used. Such a remedy is the drug Levomekol. Its main component is the antibiotic chloramphenicol. In this case, the medicine has a local anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effect, and is deeply absorbed into the tissues affected by the infection.

To treat the viral form of sinusitis, Oxolinic ointment is prescribed. Its active ingredient (oxolin) is effective against a number of viruses that provoke sinus inflammation. The medicine can be used for preventive purposes. The product is placed inside the cleansed nasal passages 3-5 times a day, depending on the severity of the disease.

In addition to antibacterial and antiviral ointments, nasal antiseptics are prescribed for infectious forms of sinusitis:

composition of Vishnevsky;
Fleming's ointment;
Protorhead ointment.

Fleming's ointment has a pronounced antiseptic effect. The medicine dries out the inflamed mucous membrane, relieves swelling and headaches. In addition to pharmacological compounds (zinc oxide and menthol), the product contains natural plant components - horse chestnut, witch hazel, calendula flowers.

Vishnevsky ointment is also a local antiseptic (the second name of the product is Balsamic Liniment). Its main components (birch tar, xeroform and castor oil) accelerate the resorption of inflammatory infiltrate and purulent discharge, reduce swelling of the mucous membranes, soften and heal tissue affected by the pathological process.

Local preparations are placed as deep as possible into the nasal sinuses on cotton pads for 15-20 minutes, after first clearing the nasal cavity of mucus and snot.

Anti-inflammatory

Ichthyol ointment is an antiseptic with anti-inflammatory effect. Its component ichthammol is a sulfur derivative and has a pronounced effect. The product relieves inflammation without drying out the swollen mucous membrane, destroying the causative agent of infection. The dosage and duration of use are determined by the attending physician. The medicine is placed into the nasal passages up to three times a day, for 10-20 days.

Moisturizing

Ointments for sinusitis in some forms of the disease should have a moisturizing effect. Since vasoconstrictor drops or a spray for a runny nose dry out the mucous membranes when used for a long time, proto-head or syntomycin ointment is prescribed in parallel with them. You can buy these inexpensive products at any pharmacy.

Before starting treatment, read the instructions, recommended method of use, frequency of doses and maximum dosage. The duration of the course, as a rule, does not exceed 14 days, or until the runny nose and other symptoms of sinusitis disappear.

Complex Simanovsky ointment

The treatment algorithm with pharmaceutical cream depends on the form of sinusitis. The composition of the product is selected in accordance with the etiology of the disease. Simanovsky's compound pharmaceutical ointment for sinusitis is prepared according to one of the following recipes.

For bacterial or purulent forms of sinusitis, a composition with an analgesic and antibacterial effect is prepared based on the following components:

antibiotic (Levomycetin, Erythromycin);
Lanolin;
Vaseline or petroleum jelly;
Novocaine or Lidocaine.

For chronic and infectious forms of sinusitis, in order to achieve a moisturizing, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, the product is prepared from the following ingredients:

silver preparations (for example, Protargol);
Streptocide;
Lanolin;
Petrolatum;
Diphenhydramine.

In case of infectious purulent form, Simanovsky’s complex composition with anti-edematous, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects is prepared on the basis of the following substances:

Cocaine hydrochloride;
zinc oxide;
Petrolatum;
Lanolin;
Menthol.

Simanovsky's complex ointment is a strong complex-action drug. The drug is placed inside the nasal passages on cotton pads or sticks for 15-20 minutes a day. The frequency of use is selected individually, depending on the patient’s condition (from 3 to 5-6 times a day).
