Hydrogen peroxide and its beneficial properties
Thanks to the research and experiments of Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences I.P. Neumyvakin, the author of 200 scientific papers, began to call hydrogen peroxide a panacea for the 21st century. The scientist himself and supporters of his theory from different countries of the world have been using the drug for more than 40 years for the treatment of various diseases and the general healing of the human body.
Hydrogen peroxide has a powerful antibacterial effect and is able to effectively resist most fungi, viruses and bacteria, while simultaneously stimulating the immune system and supporting vital processes (metabolism) of the body. The drug is used to treat a variety of ailments:
- cardiovascular diseases;
- diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract (runny nose, tonsillitis, sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema);
- oncological diseases such as leukemia;
- allergies;
- osteochondrosis;
- dental problems (toothache, periodontitis).
Professor Neumyvakin recommends dripping hydrogen peroxide into the nose when a runny nose appears, which will help avoid the spread of viruses and bacteria through the respiratory system and prevent the onset and development of sinusitis. Many patients doubt whether it is possible to treat sinusitis by instilling hydrogen peroxide into the nose, and whether it is dangerous. Immediately we can say that it is not dangerous, the professor recommends many diseases to be treated by taking peroxide inside and even injecting it intravenously. In this case, the scientist conducts all experiments on himself.
The positive side of treatment for sinusitis with peroxide is that there are practically no contraindications to the use of this remedy, except for the patient's individual intolerance to the drug.
Hydrogen peroxide with sinusitis acts on the mucous membrane very gently. It does not irritate and does not overdry the epithelial integuments, since under the influence of air it quickly decomposes into components - oxygen and hydrogen. The atomic oxygen released in this process destroys almost all pathogens. The strong disinfecting effect, due to the chemical and physical action of the drug, helps to eliminate inflammation and swelling, as well as to accelerate the healing of damaged soft tissues in the nasal cavity. Peroxide solution helps in the presence of capillary bleeding in the mucous membranes, accelerating blood clotting.
Peroxide nasal wash procedure
The most common hydrogen peroxide regimen involves flushing the nasal passages. For this, a 3% peroxide solution is used, which is sold in every pharmacy and is very cheap. It does not negatively affect the mucous membrane, which differs from many other drugs.
However, peroxide cannot be used undiluted to treat mucous membranes; in this form, it can be used exclusively for treating the outer skin.
If conventional nasal irrigations are mostly simple physiological procedures, the purpose of which is to liquefy and remove mucous accumulations from the nasal passages, then the addition of hydrogen peroxide makes it possible to influence the causative agent of the disease. All manipulations can be carried out at home, you just need to know the features of the procedure and the procedure:
- First, a solution is prepared. For this, boiled water cooled to room temperature is used. Immediately before rinsing, 60-80 drops of hydrogen peroxide 3% are added to a glass of water.
- For irrigation, it is best to use a jala-neti teapot (available at yoga stores), but a 20-millimeter syringe with the needle removed and a small ENT syringe will work. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to ensure the possibility of fluid flow in the nasal cavities by blowing your nose or using any vasoconstrictor in the form of drops or spray.
- The patient bends over the sink in the bathroom or sits on a high chair, placing a bowl in front of him. The head is tilted to one side so that one nostril is higher than the other. Carefully, without creating a large pressure, the solution is poured into the upper nostril. Having passed through all the voids and carrying with it the accumulated exudate, the liquid flows out of the lower nostril. In this case, you need to breathe through your mouth. To prevent water from pouring down the throat, you can pronounce some kind of sound, for example "and-and-and" or "koo-ku". In this case, the soft palate will block the pharynx.
- After using half of the solution, the head tilts to the other side, and all the manipulations are repeated.
- After rinsing, you need to sit quietly with your head tilted to drain the remaining solution, and then blow your nose well.
It is better to irrigate at bedtime, as fluid can still drain from the sinuses for some time. It is not recommended to go outside for at least an hour in order to prevent hypothermia.
Instilling hydrogen peroxide solution into the nose
Another popular way to clear mucus from the nasal cavity is by instilling a peroxide solution into the nostrils. Such a procedure is described by Professor Neumyvakin in his book, and it can be used not only for maxillary, but also for other types of sinusitis - ethmoiditis, frontitis, sphenoiditis. The procedure is carried out as follows:
- The liquid for instillation is prepared by adding 12-15 drops of a 3% peroxide solution to a tablespoon of boiled water.
- The solution is drawn up with a pipette and 2 drops are injected alternately into each nostril. The patient's head is thrown back.
- A few seconds after instillation, the solution foams and stimulates the release of a large amount of exudate from the nose.
- You need to blow out mucus by tilting your head to one side, alternately from each nostril, pinching the other with your finger. It should be borne in mind that too active blowing of the nose can lead to the penetration of the infected secretion into the sinus.
- At the end of the procedure, do not drink or eat for 15-30 minutes.
- You can carry out 2-3 repetitions per day until a positive result is achieved.
Such nasal drops are effective at the initial stage of the disease. If there is no improvement in the condition within two days, you need to contact an otolaryngologist.
Peroxide for nosebleeds
The causes of nosebleeds with sinusitis can be:
- mechanical damage to tissues when trying to peel off a dried crust;
- rupture of the vessel if you blow your nose too hard;
- chronic rhinitis;
- atrophy of the mucous membranes;
- the presence of serious diseases (heart disease, tuberculosis, hypotension), against which sinusitis develops.
Whatever the reason, the blood should be stopped to prevent the patient's condition from worsening. To do this, it is enough to wet a cotton swab with a 3% peroxide solution and put it into the nasal passage for a few minutes. If the bleeding has not stopped, then the case is serious enough, and it is worth calling an ambulance.
Prevention of sinusitis with peroxide
Alternative medicine advocates recommend taking peroxide by mouth to normalize the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, which is mainly responsible for the immunity of the whole body.
According to this technique, on the first day you need to consume 1 drop of the product diluted in 50 ml of water. Then every day the solution becomes more and more saturated, as the amount of peroxide increases by 1 drop. After 10 days, a three-day pause is made, after which therapy is resumed using a solution of 10 drops of the drug. Usually, the medicine is taken half an hour before a meal or 2 hours after a meal.
This technique is not entirely standard, therefore, before deciding on its use, it is advisable to consult with the attending otolaryngologist.
