Respiration : pourquoi faire le choix des huiles essentielles ?
Generally, the respiratory disorders Are the result of fouling a class of toxins created by the body, namely glues. These are mucosic substances transported by the lymph, the result of a healthy lifestyle to be rebalanced. Diet, elimination of toxic overload, sport, "work life balance" are all parameters to be modified to find a strong and healthy body that no longer lets itself be invaded by microbes. However, reality is there to confront us with a society in which it is difficult to take care of ourselves 100%. From then on, choosing one's mode of healing allows one to take care of oneself consciously with respect for one's own body but also with nature and the environment.
Indeed, in allopathic medication, nasal sprays are sold like hotcakes, often without a medical prescription, inviting then the user to an often daily but especially abusive and non-targeted consumption. This self-medication becomes dangerous for the body, which adapts and becomes accustomed to chemical molecules far too quickly.
From then on, let's discover essential oils which accompanies in the framework of a support on the respiratory plan.
L’eucalyptus Radié : le Roi de la respiration

Indeed, this essential oil acts on the upper respiratory spheres, namely the nose, the upper bronchi and the throat. Moreover, it is anti-catarrhal (the catarrh is an acute or chronic inflammation of the mucous membranes, generating a hypersecretion of mucus at the level of the inflamed zone, being able to be then the seat of infection), mucolytic (which facilitates the expectoration of the bronchial secretions) and expectorant (fluidifying bronchial facilitating the expectoration of the secretions produced by the respiratory tract).
Used in olfaction, in unction or in diffusion, Eucalyptus radiata essential oil - despite its few contraindications - will be very suitable for breathing in the fresh air of the biting cold that this winter imposes on us.

Le Niaouli : pour une ouverture respiratoire
