Menthol therapy is a treatment of fungal skin diseases. It is a common antiseptic and analgesic used for children with cuts and burns. Its antiseptic property helps to relieve the pain caused by such infections, as well as to provide soothing relief to the skin. It is also used in cases of thrush, oral infections and as topical treatment for fungal skin diseases such as athlete’s foot and ringworm.
Menthol is a derivative of the aromatic chemicals hydroxide of thymol and methyl salicylate. It is commonly used as an antiseptic and analgesic, having few side effects. It was first used in Germany and then successfully introduced to the USA by Dr. van De Graaff. Today, it is widely available as a variety of products including soaps, shampoos, lotions, soaps, toothpaste and chewing gums. It is used in the manufacturing of cough drops and vapor rubs, and as a flavoring in candies, desserts and ice cream.
Menthol is available as a pharmaceutical product in the US under the trade name Menthol Oil. It is also manufactured under various other brand names, but the main one is Menthol. Other brands include Cool Mints, Cool Salts, Zippoilles, etc. Menthol therapy is the commercial name for any solution that contains menthol.
Oral infections are frequently associated with inflamed and irritated gums, especially in children. Some other symptoms include a general irritation, such as that seen in adults. Cramps, sore throats and earaches are also symptomatic signs. The most common cause of oral infection in children is fungal bacteria. It is useful therefore to treat this condition with the oral spray called Mentholated.
Menthol can be used in treating a number of conditions that do not fall under the category of Dermatitis. It can be used for coughs and colds, as well as for inflammation of the lymphatic system. It has an anti-inflammatory effect, which makes it excellent for treating rheumatic arthritis, a very common type of arthritis. It can also reduce the pain caused by gout.
The skin, particularly the sensitive skin around the eyes can also benefit from the use of menthol therapy. It is a very strong antiseptic agent and has great moisturizing properties. It can be applied topically to the skin or taken orally with water. It is a popular antiseptic for children who have upset stomachs, or who have diarrhea.
The antiseptic qualities of menthol make it a good treatment for cold sores. It can also be used on scrapes and burns and may help to alleviate symptoms of sunburns. Many forms of acne are treated with menthol. It is thought that it might have some effect on reducing the severity of eczema in people who have a family history of this condition. However, it should be remembered that while it can be very soothing to the skin, it can cause irritation if applied excessively.
Menthol therapy is now available in many places. It can be purchased over the counter, or in some cases, a physician may be able to prescribe it. It can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, and has been used for centuries. There is little clinical evidence to suggest that it is an effective treatment for anything other than minor aches and pains. For people who do have skin problems, it may be worth trying.
One problem with using menthol is that it tends to get into the hair and the skin, causing the user to have a burning sensation. This is usually not very severe, and is simply the result of the oil on the skin being unable to evaporate. The best way to avoid this is to rinse the area with warm water and soap several times before applying the menthol oil. If this does not work, a doctor may be able to prescribe an antiseptic liquid that will help. A better strategy would be to rinse the area with distilled water, and then apply a thin layer of menthol directly on the problem area.
Menthol can be used on minor scrapes and wounds as well as more serious skin conditions. In fact, it is said to be so powerful that it may be able to completely heal a broken bone! No clinical studies have been done on this claim, however, it is believed that it can be used as a poultice to treat minor infections. It may also be used on athlete’s foot, ringworm, cold sores, jock itch, acne, and other skin irritations. Some users have reported lessening or eliminating symptoms of some diseases, including cold sores, ringworm, and acne.
To use menthol for healing or soothing the skin, just spray a little on the area being treated. Be sure to do this in the early morning and late afternoon, when the sun is hotter. If you are pregnant or nursing, keep away from menthol therapy, as the oil can be harmful. However, the oil has been successfully used on more sensitive skin, such as the face and foot.
