Detailed Description
This study compared the efficacy of spray containing aromatic essential oils of Eucalyptus citriodora, Eucalyptus globulus, Mentha piperita, Origanum syriacum, and Rosmarinus Officinalis, against placebo in the treatment of patients with acute viral Laryngitis or Tracheitis.
In- vitro and clinical studies suggest therapeutic potential of aromatic herbs and trees oils in the treatment of Laryngitis or Tracheitis. The pharmacological and clinical activity of Eucalyptus citriodora, Eucalyptus globulus, Mentha piperita, Origanum syriacum, and Rosmarinus Officinalis, include anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral activities. Some of these herbs and trees oils have direct activity on the respiratory tract, the coughing reflex and the airflow in the nasal tract.
