A pastille combining myrrh tincture, peppermint oil and menthol to treat the upper airway

Mür ve boraks içerek tentürler gargara solüsyonu olarak kullanılmaktadır. Mür sakızı, sindirim güçlüğü, ülserler, soğuk algınlığı, öksürük, astım, akciğer konjesyonu, artrit ağrısı ve kanser için de kullanılır. Mür, ağrıya tabi tutulan farelerde, ağrı kesici etkiler göstermiştir. Antiseptik olarak ağız ve boğaz inflamatuar lezyonlarında kullanılır. Boğaz ve ağzın iltihaplı lezyonlara uygulanır ve antispazmodik olarak kanser ve enfeksiyon hastalıklarının tedavisi için kullanılır. Bu yazıda mür tentürü, nane yağı ve mentol açısından literatür gözden geçirilmiştir.

Üst havayolları için mür tentürü, nane yağı ve mentol kombinasyonu içeren bir pastil

Myrrh and borax (combined in a tincture) can be used as a mouthwash. Myrrh gum is used to treat indigestion, ulcers, colds, coughs, asthma, lung congestion, arthritis pain, and cancer. Myrrh has been shown to exert analgesic effects on mice in which pain was induced. Myrrh is used as an astringent, antiseptic (to treat inflammed lesions of the throat and mouth), and antispasmodic to treat cancer and infectious disease. In this paper, we review the literature on myrrh tinctures, peppermint oil, and menthol.
