Luuf Essential Oils Balm 30 g

Luuf essential oil balm contains the active ingredients of the essential oils from eucalyptus and the resin balm of various pine species as well as camphor, menthol and thymol.

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 Luuf essential oil balm 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.

Contraindications

Luuf essential oil balm must not be used

• if you are hypersensitive (allergic) to any of the active ingredients or any of the other ingredients of Luuf essential oil balm.
• 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)
• in patients with bronchial asthma or other respiratory diseases that are associated with pronounced hypersensitivity of the airways. Inhaling Luuf essential oil balm can cause shortness of breath or trigger an asthma attack.

Interactions

Eucalyptus oil can influence the breakdown of foreign substances in the liver and the effects of other medicines can be weakened and/or shortened. This cannot be ruled out when Luuf essential oil balm is used over large areas.

Since there are insufficient data, use during pregnancy and breast-feeding cannot be recommended.
