Menthol Illness: Using Online Therapy For Symptoms

Menthol is a volatile component that can cause coughing, wheezing and difficulty breathing when applied to the lungs. Menthol can be found as a product in cough and cold remedies. Menthol has also been used for skin applications such as soaps, shampoos, face masks and creams. Recently, there has been an increase in interest in using menthol for medicinal purposes.

Menthol is reported by some users to have properties that mimic the actions of asthma drugs such as Advair and Singulair. It may be useful for persons with acute respiratory conditions where non-drug therapies are ineffective or causing serious side effects. Menthol has the effect of lessening wheezing during asthma attacks and reduces coughing in people without other respiratory problems. Further studies are required to verify these claims.

There is little evidence to support the use of Menthol for treating asthma. One account describes how a patient suffered from respiratory symptoms and had her breathing stopped by her doctor using a Menthol spray. She was reported to be having ‘warmth’ in her chest and her symptoms were eased immediately. This is consistent with previous accounts where Menthol has been used to treat respiratory problems. However, these accounts cannot be verified since there are no supporting studies.

Menthol is not a drug and cannot be made addictive. If you become dependent on Menthol, you may suffer withdrawal symptoms when you stop its use. Some reports of dependency on Menthol come from persons who have become addicted to inhaling the spray. This is also not likely to result in dependency if taken only as directed. However, if taken in combination with other drugs, it could become habit forming.

Most users comment that they feel a tingling sensation when they inhale the Spray. However, it can be irritating to others. Others feel it to be an irritant, but again, it depends on the person. It’s not harmful to the health but some people do find it irritating.

Inhalation of Menthol spray may produce short-term symptoms such as cough or wheezing, but these symptoms usually go away after a few hours. Longer term symptoms may include shortness of breath and chest pain. These symptoms may last for days or even weeks and cannot be prevented. Since some patients use Menthol as a sleeping aid, these symptoms may persist throughout the night and into the morning hours. Some patients develop sleep apnea, a sleeping disorder characterized by gaps in breathing while sleeping. If you experience these symptoms, speak to your doctor immediately and consider using the non-niche therapy available.

It is not known if there are any long term effects associated with using Menthol. Long term effects may become evident as the body builds up a tolerance to Menthol. Tolerance can be increased by regular use over time. If you do decide to stop using Menthol you may want to take into consideration how your body is currently feeling.

It is recommended that anyone who wishes to try the online therapy utilize a small amount first. You may want to wait until your body has adjusted to the use of Menthol and then gradually increase the dosage. As with any drug use, always consult your doctor and listen to their suggestions. They may have specific instructions and they may work in conjunction with your homeopathic treatment to make sure your symptoms are thoroughly addressed.

It is important to keep in mind that you will likely feel some of the same symptoms as others who have taken Menthol. These include headaches, nausea and a sense of taste or smell. However, these symptoms usually subside after a few hours and then subside completely. If you have these symptoms continue using the treatment. You may also find that you become more relaxed and comfortable if you are using Menthol. While some people may feel this effect as a side effect, most people notice a marked improvement.

When your body adjusts to the use of Menthol it may seem that all is well. However, if you continue to use the treatment regularly it can have an addictive quality to it. If you become dependent on Menthol it can become difficult to stop. If you are someone who suffers from this problem, you should consult a professional to make sure that there is no way that the use of Menthol can negatively impact your current mental, physical or emotional situation.

It can be very hard to stop using Menthol because it seems to offer a temporary relief from symptoms. If you use the treatment long term you could suffer serious withdrawal symptoms. If you want to get the most out of any online therapy, it is important that you thoroughly discuss the benefits and risks with your doctor or mental health professional. If you use the treatment for a period of time then it may not be worth using but if you use it regularly you may see a dramatic improvement in the quality of your life.
