Kids Luuf balm 30 g
Children's Luuf Balsam contains the essential oils from eucalyptus and the resin balsam of various pine species as well as camphor, menthol and thymol as active ingredients.
The active ingredients are partly absorbed through the skin and cause increased blood circulation, which causes a warming feeling. On the other hand, the essential oils, as highly volatile components, reach the lungs directly from the treated body parts via the air we breathe.
The effect of Kinder Luuf Balsam is antispasmodic, antiseptic (germ-inhibiting) and expectorant. The stuck mucus is liquefied and can be coughed up more easily. Furthermore, breathing is made easier and the urge to cough is alleviated.
Application areas:
- for external use for colds with symptoms such as cough, runny nose and sore throat.
- for supportive treatment of tracheal and bronchial catarrh (bronchitis) as well as stubbornly recurring catarrhs.
For children from the age of 2 to 12.
Contraindications
Children's Luuf balm must not be used
- if the child is hypersensitive (allergic) to any of the active ingredients or any of the other ingredients of Kinder Luuf-Balsam.
- if you have previously experienced febrile seizures or epilepsy
- in infants and small children under 2 years of age due to the camphor and menthol content (risk of larynx spasm).
- because of the camphor and menthol content in patients with bronchial asthma or other respiratory diseases that are associated with pronounced hypersensitivity of the respiratory tract. Inhaling Kinder Luuf balm can cause shortness of breath or trigger an asthma attack.
Interactions
Eucalyptus oil can affect the breakdown of foreign substances in the liver, which may weaken or shorten the effect of other medicines. This cannot be ruled out if children's Luuf balm is used over large areas.
