What is Olfae Eucalyptus Radiata Huile Essentielle Bio Arkopharma 10ml used for?
Olfae Eucalyptus Radiata Huile Essentielle Bio Arkopharma 10ml has a fresh, pleasant scent, finer than that of Eucalyptus globulus and less heady, making it more suitable for atmospheric diffusion. It is antiseptic for the upper respiratory tract (rhino-pharyngeal sphere), expectorant, decongestant and mucolytic.
Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil is distinguished by its many beneficial properties for the respiratory system, thanks in particular to its wealth of active compounds such asα-pinene and 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol). These molecules play a crucial role, acting synergistically to improve respiratory health through various actions: expectorant, mucolytic, spasmolytic, bronchodilator, antiviral, immunomodulating, antibacterial, respiratory antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antifungal and analgesic.
Eucalyptus Radiata has a significant concentration of α-pinene and 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol), two constituents that act synergistically to promote the liquefaction of bronchial secretions. α-pinene helps dissolve mucus, while eucalyptol stimulates the movement of epithelial cilia, helping expel accumulated secretions from the respiratory tract. This combined action clears nasal passages and facilitates breathing, offering appreciable relief to those suffering from respiratory ailments.
The 1,8-cineole present in Eucalyptus Radiata exerts a notable spasmolytic action by relaxing the smooth muscles of the respiratory tract. This property relieves bronchial spasms and makes breathing easier. In addition, 1,8-cineole acts as a bronchodilator by blocking the entry of calcium through the cell membrane, thereby reducing muscle contraction and dilating the bronchial tubes. This dual action helps relieve coughs and improve pulmonary ventilation.
Thanks to the presence of α-terpineol and eucalyptol, Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil has remarkable antiviral properties. These compounds act by inhibiting the replication of certain respiratory viruses, making it an effective ally in the fight against viral infections of the respiratory tract. What's more, the terpinene-4-ol present in this essential oil stimulates immunity by boosting the activity of immune cells, helping to strengthen the body's defenses against pathogens.
The α-pinene and 1,8-cineole contained in Eucalyptus Radiata give this essential oil antibacterial and respiratory antiseptic properties. These compounds act by disrupting bacterial cell membranes, leading to their destruction and preventing their proliferation. In atmospheric diffusion, this essential oil purifies ambient air and reduces the risk of respiratory infections. Its use in hospitals is testimony to its effectiveness in preventing nosocomial infections.
Finally, Eucalyptus Radiata has anti-inflammatory, antifungal and analgesic properties, mainly attributed to the action of eucalyptol. By inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory molecules and acting on pain receptors, this essential oil offers effective relief to people suffering from inflammatory respiratory disorders and associated pain. What's more, its antifungal action helps fight certain fungal infections of the respiratory tract, while its analgesic effect offers relief from inflammation-related pain.
