Phytotherapy: a natural response to ENT ailments

Phytotherapy, or the use of medicinal plants, is a time-honored method that is now finding its place in the management of ENT ailments. By combining plant extracts renowned for their antiseptic, expectorant and soothing properties, it helps relieve symptoms while supporting the body's natural defenses.

The benefits of plants for the respiratory tract

• Thyme (Thymus vulgaris): Thanks to its antiseptic and tonic properties, thyme is particularly effective for clearing the respiratory tract and soothing dry coughs. It also stimulates the immune system.
• Eucalyptus globulus: This emblematic tree of respiratory care is known for its expectorant virtues, promoting the elimination of mucus in the event of a wet cough. Its essential oils are also antiseptic, helping to reduce respiratory tract infections.
• Peppermint (Mentha piperita): Its refreshing, decongestant effect helps clear nasal passages and soothe throat irritations.
• Blackcurrant buds (Ribes nigrum): Used in gemmotherapy, they have anti-inflammatory and antihistaminic properties, ideal for respiratory allergies and chronic inflammation.

Managing specific symptoms

• Dry cough: Thyme and marshmallow are precious allies in soothing irritated mucous membranes and calming spasms.
• Oily cough: Eucalyptus and Scots pine promote expectoration and help clear congested bronchi.
• Colds and sinusitis: Peppermint and ravintsara offer decongestant and antiseptic action.
• Irritated throat: Propolis, combined with honey, protects mucous membranes and soothes pain.

Prevention and hygiene: simple gestures to avoid ENT infections

In addition to using phytotherapy, adopting preventive habits can considerably reduce the risk of ENT disorders:

• Hydrate regularly: Hydration keeps nasal and pharyngeal mucous membranes in good condition, promoting their role as a barrier against pathogens.
• Air your living spaces: Renew the air in your homes and offices to limit the concentration of pollutants and allergens.
• Humidify the air: In winter, heating systems dry out the air, which can weaken respiratory mucous membranes. Use a humidifier to maintain optimum humidity levels.
• Observe hygiene rules: Wash your hands regularly and avoid touching your face to limit the transmission of viruses and bacteria.
