Back to: Inhalations
Inhalations represent one of the oldest, most natural and effective methods for alleviating respiratory system ailments. Unlike oral medicines, which must pass through the digestive system and bloodstream, inhalation allows medicinal particles, water vapor or active plant ingredients to reach the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.
If you also need inhalations or expert advice from cardiologists and pulmonologists for breathing problems, on this page you can find a list of surgeries and polyclinics in Belgrade.
Inhalation with warm steam: A traditional method that involves inhaling steam enriched with essential oils (such as eucalyptus or mint) or medicinal herbs (chamomile, sage). Heat expands the blood vessels, softens the thick secretion in the sinuses and facilitates its expulsion.
Cold inhalation (Hardware): It is performed with the help of electric compressor or ultrasonic inhalers (nebulizers). These devices turn a liquid (most often saline or medicine) into a fine, cool mist whose particles penetrate deep into the lower respiratory tract, which is crucial for bronchitis and asthma.
Inhalations are most often advised as first aid for seasonal colds, acute and chronic sinusitis, allergic rhinitis and dry or productive cough. Cold inhalations with saline solution are extremely safe and effective for children, because they help them sleep and eat more easily during a cold by clearing the nasal passages. In more serious conditions, such as asthma, obstructive pulmonary disease (OBI) or laryngitis, doctors prescribe inhalations with dedicated drugs (bronchodilators or corticosteroids) that quickly expand the bronchi and reduce inflammation.
