Vicks Inhalateur vapeur Steam inhaler V1300EU01 is ideal for decongesting the respiratory tract.
The Steam Inhaler from Vicks is a product that uses hot steam, with or without essential oils, to decongest and relieve congested airways. Highly recommended for colds, coughs, sore throats and sinusitis, it's the perfect ally for congested airways.
Vicks Steam Inhaler comes with two tablets scented with menthol and eucalyptus. These two herbal active ingredients are renowned for their expectorant and fluidifying properties, which are highly effective in the treatment of bronchitis, coughs and ENT infections. They are also recommended for their antiseptic and astringent action. With its compact size, the Vicks Steam Inhaler can easily accompany you on the move. It's very easy to use, and its funnel shape ensures that steam is released directly and easily into the respiratory tract.
The hot steam released by the inhaler plays a crucial role in rapidly decongesting the respiratory tract. When water is heated and transformed into steam, it creates a warm, humid environment that helps liquefy nasal and bronchial secretions. This liquefying action facilitates the expulsion of mucus, clearing the airways and making breathing easier.
When inhaled, the steam also acts to moisten nasal and bronchial mucous membranes, which can relieve the irritation and inflammation associated with congestion. By reducing the sensation of dryness and soothing inflamed tissues, hot steam contributes to a feeling of immediate respiratory comfort.
The scented tablets supplied with the inhaler contain menthol and eucalyptus essential oils, renowned for their expectorant and liquefying properties. Menthol acts as an expectorant by stimulating mucus receptors, resulting in increased mucus production. This facilitates the expulsion of secretions from the respiratory tract, relieving congestion and coughing.
Eucalyptus, meanwhile, contains compounds called ketones, which have mucolytic properties. These compounds help break down thick mucus, making secretions more fluid and easier to expel. By combining these two essential oils, the inhaler offers a complete treatment for respiratory conditions such as bronchitis or persistent coughs, promoting the elimination of secretions and relieving associated discomfort.
In addition to their expectorant properties, menthol and eucalyptus essential oils also have antiseptic and astringent actions. Menthol has antibacterial properties that help fight respiratory tract infections, while eucalyptus is known for its antiviral and antifungal properties.
What's more, these essential oils have astringent effects, meaning they can tighten tissues and reduce inflammation. This can be particularly beneficial in relieving respiratory tract irritation and reducing symptoms such as dry coughs and sore throats. By combining these antiseptic and astringent actions, the inhaler offers effective relief for respiratory ailments while helping to prevent infectious complications.
We also offer menthol Vapopads from the Vicks laboratory, at the best price in our online pharmacy.
