Chlorophyllipt: What It Is For and How to Use It Properly

Chlorophyllipt: What It Is For and How to Use It Properly 

Chlorophyllipt helps with diseases of the upper respiratory tract (tonsillitis, pharyngitis). It can also be used to speed up the healing of wounds on the skin and mucous membranes. Chlorophyllipt is intended for topical and internal use.

What Is Chlorophyllipt?

Chlorophyllipt is a herbal product made from eucalyptus leaf extract. It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and regenerating effects. It belongs to the group of antiseptic medicines. Chlorophyllipt comes in the form of an oil and an alcohol solution, a spray or tablets.

What Is Chlorophyllipt Used For?

Chlorophyllipt has anti-inflammatory properties and can be helpful in infectious diseases and skin damage. Chlorophyllipt can be used for the following conditions:

• tonsillitis;

• flu;

• bronchitis;

• pharyngitis;

• inflammation of the oral cavity (stomatitis);

• burns;

• purulent wounds.

A doctor may prescribe chlorophyllipt for a cough and for gum damage. In gynaecology, chlorophyllipt can be used as part of therapy in the treatment of cervical erosion. Use of the medicine is recommended after consulting a doctor.

How Does Chlorophyllipt Work Against Bacteria?

Chlorophyllipt has a bacteriostatic effect (it inhibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria). Products with eucalyptus extracts are effective against Gram-positive bacteria (staphylococci), including strains that may be resistant to antibiotics.

Chlorophyllipt destroys the integrity of bacterial cells and prevents them from attaching to the body's tissues. In addition, chlorophyllipt stimulates the immune system, which helps the body deal with a bacterial infection more quickly.

Chlorophyllipt for the Throat

Eucalyptus extract can reduce swelling and pain in the throat tissues. An ENT specialist may prescribe a chlorophyllipt solution for tonsillitis, pharyngitis and laryngitis. To treat the throat, chlorophyllipt can be used in the form of an alcohol solution, an oil solution, a spray or tablets. In addition, chlorophyllipt can be used for inhalation and make breathing easier by reducing inflammatory processes. For example, a chlorophyllipt solution for the throat supports faster regeneration of the mucous membranes.

How to Dilute Chlorophyllipt for Gargling

Chlorophyllipt is used for gargling. Dilute 5 ml of chlorophyllipt solution in 100 ml of warm water. Gargling is recommended three to four times a day for five minutes. The solution should be used until the symptoms of laryngitis subside (after first consulting a doctor).

Chlorophyllipt for the Nose

Chlorophyllipt can be used for the nose in diseases caused by staphylococcal infection (rhinitis, sinusitis). To treat a runny nose, a doctor may prescribe an oil solution or a chlorophyllipt nasal spray. An alcohol solution is not prescribed, as it can burn the mucous membrane.

Chlorophyllipt for the nose can be used in combination with other substances that have anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling effects. For example, a chlorophyllipt spray with silver and cyclamen, or a chlorophyllipt spray with hyaluronic acid, can be used to prevent infections of the nasal cavity and upper respiratory tract. Before using sprays and oil solutions for rhinitis and sinusitis, an ENT consultation is recommended.

Chlorophyllipt for Wound Healing

Chlorophyllipt supports wound healing thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties and its ability to regenerate tissue. Eucalyptus extract can be used for purulent wounds, trophic ulcers and burns. To speed up wound healing, alcohol (1%) and oil (2%) chlorophyllipt solutions are recommended. A gauze dressing or a swab should be soaked in chlorophyllipt solution and applied to the surface of the wound.

Which Form of Chlorophyllipt Is Better: Tablets, Solution or Spray?

The choice of chlorophyllipt form depends on the indications. For the throat, it is more convenient to use a spray or an alcohol solution for gargling. A spray is also usually used for the nose in rhinitis and sinusitis. For tonsillitis, gum diseases and the appearance of wounds, an oil solution of chlorophyllipt can be used. For bronchitis or ulcerative stomatitis, a doctor may prescribe chlorophyllipt in tablet form.

When Are Chlorophyllipt Tablets Indicated?

Chlorophyllipt tablets help relieve symptoms in diseases of the upper respiratory tract. A doctor may prescribe taking chlorophyllipt for tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis and ulcerative stomatitis. Before using chlorophyllipt tablets for the throat, read the instructions and do not exceed the dose recommended by your doctor.

How to Use Chlorophyllipt Properly

Before using chlorophyllipt, do an allergy test by applying a small amount of the product to the skin. If a rash, itching or swelling appears, stop using the product.

For gargling, 5 ml of alcohol chlorophyllipt solution is diluted in a litre of water. Oil chlorophyllipt is applied topically to the skin (for wounds, burns). Chlorophyllipt tablets are held in the mouth until fully dissolved; they should not be swallowed or chewed. The spray is used by spraying into the mouth or nose.

How Long to Keep Chlorophyllipt on the Skin?

A dressing soaked in chlorophyllipt solution should be kept on the skin for 15-20 minutes, or according to the schedule recommended by your doctor. On average, chlorophyllipt is used twice a day to treat wounds and burns on the skin. It is not recommended to leave dressings with chlorophyllipt extract on for a long time, so as not to cause skin irritation.

How Often Can You Use Chlorophyllipt?

The duration and dose of chlorophyllipt are prescribed by a doctor after an examination. How often the product is used depends on its type and on your state of health. On average, chlorophyllipt solutions and sprays can be used two to four times a day, and tablets no more than five a day.

Chlorophyllipt for Children

Chlorophyllipt solution and tablets are not recommended for children due to a lack of sufficient clinical data on the safety of the medicine. Chlorophyllipt throat spray can be used in children as recommended by a paediatrician or a paediatric ENT specialist.
