Features of the composition of thuja oil with adenoids and its medicinal properties
Adenoiditis disease can occur in children aged 1 to 14 years. The nasopharyngeal tonsil of the child’s body is constantly trying to resist various infectious diseases. As a result, in most cases it begins to grow, the nasal lumens partially or completely overlap, and cold air through the mouth begins to enter the airways. Enlarged adenoids have loose tissue, which is an ideal place for the reproduction of various bacteria. Because of this, children begin to suffer much more often from bronchitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and a chronic stage of rhinitis develops.
Even in the 19th century, the healing properties of cones of coniferous evergreen thuja were discovered. Since then, the extract from the plant has been widely used in the manufacture of homeopathic medicines, as well as for the treatment of tuberculosis, asthma, respiratory diseases and colds, to stop hemorrhages, increase the general tone of the body and restore strength.

• tonsils block more than 60% of the inner opening of the nasal passages. Symptoms: talking in the nose, severe snoring, constant breathing through the mouth;
• Tonsils enlarge so much that they completely block the posterior nasal passages. Symptoms are the same as in the previous stages, but apnea, inflammation and ear diseases, deformation of the skeleton of the skull in the most advanced stages may additionally develop.

What you need to know in advance using thuja oil for adenoids in children
First of all, do not count on oil as a 100% effective remedy against adenoids. Thuja ether is not a panacea, and sometimes it’s sometimes just an inconsequential way to slightly alleviate the symptoms of the disease. One child may feel better after several times using the drug, another after a month of use, the third may not have noticeable improvements at all. Someone oil will relieve adenoids once and for all, but someone simply will not do. Everything is decided individually.
In order not to overdo it with a dose, diluting the oil in its pure form with water, it will be easier to purchase ready-made drugs under the name Thuya DN and Thuya Edas-801 at the pharmacy. They are easy to find in any pharmacy.
If you choose a method of treating adenoids by instillation, it is imperative that the person at this moment is in a lying position. When the drops get into the nasopharynx, it is necessary to remain in this position for at least 10 minutes to evenly distribute the drug through the channels. Very small children usually do not want to lie on their backs, therefore, to instill their noses, you can use the spraying method with an ordinary syringe without a needle nozzle.
Thuja oil can be used as a prophylactic of adenoiditis. It is enough 1 time per month to regularly instill a nose in the children at night before bedtime, having previously washed it with salt water.
