Oregano oil for pneumonia
Oregano oil is a very strong essential oil, which can be used, among other things, for diseases of the respiratory tract. Due to its particular strength, it should only be taken up diluted with another oil (e.g. sunflower oil). Oregano oil develops its anti-inflammatory effect through the active ingredient carvacrol. The oil’s many aromatic substances also act against bacteria and are therefore of great therapeutic importance, especially in the typical pneumonia caused by bacteria. Oregano oil is not suitable for inhalation and is usually administered in the form of drops.
Sage as household remedy for pneumonia
The medicinal plant sage has long since made its way into the home remedy pharmacy. Sage is usually brewed as tea or taken in the form of sage candies. Its anti-inflammatory effect is used especially for colds and respiratory tract infections.
Thus, the anti-inflammatory component can also be used in cases of pneumonia. Sage also has an antibacterial effect. In the case of pneumonia, the use of sage as a tea is particularly suitable, since a sufficient fluid intake is also important for recovery.
