Using a natural chest rub to aid in respiratory function in children can be a great alternative to commercial chest rubs.
Here’s the down side to most recipes though; peppermint is often chosen because is has a high concentration of monoterpenes, which have a stimulating effect on mucus membranes. The problem with peppermint is that is also contains a constituent called 1.8 cineole. Too much of this can sometimes act negatively on the temperature receptors of children’s lungs and cause slowed breathing.
This recipe covers alternatives to peppermint so as to avoid 1.8 cineole when treating children but still give them a boost. Find the recipe at Mommypotamus…
