Fir oil from a cold is instilled into the nose one drop at a time. True, I did not really like this procedure, as there was a slight burning sensation, sneezing, tears flowed from my eyes. Even though it was over in 15 minutes. But this is much better than burying naphthyzinum, which you get used to, and then you can't get rid of. By the way, fir oil also helps.

I preferred inhalers.

Inhalations with fir oil are good for a runny nose and cough, they are effective for bronchitis, both acute and chronic, for pneumonia, and even relieve asthma attacks.

Before the procedure, do a test for sensitivity to fir small, if there is an allergy to it.

Boil water and drop 2-3 drops of fir essential oil into it, cover yourself with a large towel and breathe over the vapors for no more than 5-7 minutes.

I liked this kind of treatment, because at the same time you breathe a coniferous aroma, as if you are in the taiga. And relief came immediately.

A kind of inhalation will turn out if, after rubbing the body with oil, cover yourself with a blanket and breathe for a few minutes.

With nasal congestion, you can breathe fir oil vapors by dropping it on a handkerchief and bringing it to your nose.
