Eucalyptus leaf-shaped leaves

Anti-inflammatory characteristics of Eucalyptus leaf-shaped leaves are based on a combination of its unusual properties. And the possibilities of a medicinal nature give any products those components that are present in it. In this case, such components are more than forty. Some of them are bitterness, which is widely used in the therapy of many diseases, tannins, biologically active substances that kill or inhibit the growth and development of bacteria, microscopic fungi, protozoa (phytoncides).

Eucalyptus leaf-shaped leaves are recognized by modern medicine as one of the most effective in the treatment of many diseases, especially in respiratory diseases and influenza. Due to activation of liquefaction and outflow of mucus, this preparation can actively purify the respiratory tract, which leads to high effectiveness of therapy and rapid recovery. Just do not self-medicate.

Release form

The international name of the medicinal product is Eucalyptus leaves or Eucalypti folia. This phytopreparation belongs to the group of antiseptic medicines. The form of the release is quite diverse. This is eucalyptus essential oil, and briquettes of vegetable raw materials, industrial tinctures, tablets from vegetable raw materials for resorption, as well as filter bags with powder content.

Pharmacodynamics

Pharmacodynamics Eucalyptus is a rod-shaped, whose leaves, mainly, and are used in pharmacology, is based on the antiseptic properties of the plant. Infusions and extracts from them have anti-inflammatory effect and have gentle sedative characteristics.

Infusions of eucalyptus leaves, made on water or alcohol basis, show antibacterial, antiviral, antiprotozoal characteristics, have high fungicidal properties. The level of the therapeutic effect is directly determined by the concentration of aromatic oil in the preparation. Usually this figure is 0.3 - 4.5%. The main active compound of eucalyptus leaves is cineol, which contains from 65 to 85%, about six percent is occupied by tannins, myrtenol and pinenas.

Due to the characteristics listed above, the eucalyptus of the leaf-shaped leaves, in the case of oral administration and use in the form of inhalations, shows excellent results of mucolytic (sputum liquefaction without increasing its volume, and facilitating its removal from the lungs), expectorant and bronchodilator.

This drug is also used in the form of oils or alcohol tinctures, which treat the affected skin. In this case, the leaves of eucalyptus act as an excellent anesthetic, render astringent, soothing effect of itching. Due to antiexudative abilities, the medicinal product made from the leaves of this unique tree is aimed at eliminating the increased permeability of the vessels and the release of fluid (exudate) into the tissue.

In case of medical necessity, the concentration of the active substance in the composition of the drug is increased, which turns the drug from a sedative into a preparation of a locally irritating action.

Tinctures and extracts from vegetable raw materials, due to the increased content of natural bitterness and natural essential, flavored, oils, are able to use in stimulating increased work of the secretory glands of the gastrointestinal tract, which significantly improves the quality of food digestion.

The presence of high sedative ability, obtained by isomers of aldehyde-valeric acid, the drug is very effective in the neuralgic region.

Pharmacokinetics

Under this angle, clinical studies and monitoring of therapy have not been carried out, so the pharmacokinetics of Eucalyptus leaf-shaped leaves have not been thoroughly studied to date.

[8], [9], [10], [11]

Dosing and administration

In connection with the different form of therapy, the way of application and the dose of the drug taken is different.

When administering rinses or medical inhalations, the solution for these procedures is prepared immediately before use. For this purpose, a glass of boiled water at room temperature is diluted with 15 ml of deciduous concentrated decoction prepared the day before, 10-15 drops of eucalyptus tincture or essential oil. These procedures are carried out during the day three to four times.

When the drug is administered orally, a daily dosage of 15-30 drops of concentrated liquid diluted with a small amount of water is recommended.

To prepare a decoction of eucalyptus leaves 10 grams of raw material will be needed, which corresponds to approximately two tablespoons. In enameled capacity, the leaves are poured into a glass of boiling water. The dishes in which the infusion is prepared, covered with a lid and put in a water bath for 15 minutes, then left from the plate and cooled at room temperature for ten minutes. After the leaf has been brewed, it is decanted, squeezing out the cooled raw material well. The resulting amount of liquid is brought with warm boiled water to a volume of 200 ml.

It is worth recalling that it is quite cautious to take the medicine if a history of the patient has a high secretion of digestive glands. In the process of use, care should be taken so that the therapeutic composition does not get into the eyes. If this is still possible, it is necessary to rinse them very quickly in a large quantity of pure, better flowing water.

Before the start of therapy it is recommended to conduct a test to determine the level of sensitivity of the human body to this plant. This test is conducted as follows:

1. 10 drops or a tablespoon of tincture (if there is 1% alcohol solution of chlorophylliptum, its 25 drops diluted with a tablespoon of water) the patient should drink.
2. Endure six to eight hours.
3. If after such a period of time, an allergic reaction does not occur, you can proceed to the main course of medical therapy.

Use of the eucalyptus of a rod-shaped leaf during pregnancy

Many people quite lightly treat medicinal herbs and prescriptions of alternative medicine, considering them quite useful, but absolutely harmless. This judgment is fundamentally wrong. Preparations from natural natural raw materials are all the same medicines that exert a certain influence on the human body and should not be ignored. Due to still little knowledge about this unique natural product and the long-term consequences of its impact, the use of Eucalyptus leaf-like leaves during pregnancy is prohibited.

• Hypersensitivity of the human body to the substances that make up the drug, including chlorophylliptua to other essential oils.
• It is not recommended to use as raw materials for inhalations in case of diseases:

• Bronchial asthma.
• Such an infectious disease of the respiratory tract as whooping cough.
• If bronchospasm are observed periodically.

• In case of atrophy of the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract.
   

Side effects of the eucalyptus of a rod-shaped leaf

Due to its high susceptibility and good tolerance of the body, the side effects of Eucalyptus leaf-shaped leaves are insignificant and may manifest as an allergic reaction to chlorophyllipt or other etheric substances, with the appearance of the corresponding symptomatology:
