Coming from manuka, a tree that grows only in New Zealand and southeastern Australia, manuka honey is different from other honeys, and it has gained a well deserved reputation.

Honey is widely used in folk medicine to treat cough, fever, and inflammation. In this study, the effect of aerosolised honey on airway tissues in a rabbit model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma was investigated.

Inhalation of menthol reduces capsaicin cough sensitivity and influences inspiratory flows in chronic cough.

Menthol Crystal Vapor Inhalation in the Prevention and Remission of Early Diagnosed Covid-19 Patients: Evidence Based.

The effects of menthol on exercise performance and thermal sensation: A meta-analysis.

What if you could easily relieve the symptoms of bronchial congestion and muscle tension alike, naturally and easily, right in your own home? Well, there is a way.

Does the inhalation of a 1% L-menthol solution in the premedication of fiberoptic bronchoscopy affect coughing and the sensation of dyspnea?

Menthol is an organic compound extracted from the oils of Mentha, a genus of plants in the mint family. It can be synthesized and is used as a flavoring or fragrance in a variety of products.

Since ARDS is a major complication of COVID - 19 with subsequent formation of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema , worsening the oxygenation of the patients and foamy and even bloody sputum formation, so the idea is to use alcohol inhalation as it reduce surface tension on the alveoli and markedly decrease sputum formation with improvement on oxygenation beside its cytolethal effect on virus lipid bilayer.

Ethanol (EtOH) effectively inactivates enveloped viruses in vitro, including influenza and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Inhaled EtOH vapor may inhibit viral infection in mammalian respiratory tracts, but this has not yet been demonstrated.

Inhaling low concentrations of ethanol vapor can disable the influenza A virus in mice, without harmful side effects, says a new study by scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST). The scientists believe it may also treat similar viruses such as the one that causes Covid-19.

Ethyl alcohol or ethanol is an effective chemical in denaturing enveloped viruses in vitro, including SARS-CoV-2. It is found that exposure of only 30 seconds is sufficient to deactivate the virus. Alcohol has never been used for the treatment of viral lung infection. However, alcohol vapors by inhalation are used for acute respiratory distress syndrome and alcohol withdrawals.

This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized ethanol (EtOH) in treating COVID-19.

Although I have never seen it, I am aware that alcohol was once used as a treatment for foaming pulmonary edema. It was nebulized as a breathing treatment, forced into the airway by IPPB, or inserted into the ETT. I have heard stories of Vodka being used, although Ethanol Alcohol (ETOH) may also have been an option.

This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized ethanol (EtOH) in treating COVID-19.

Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) is known to inactivate SARS-CoV-2, and therefore, direct delivery to the upper and lower respiratory tracts hypothetically would inhibit the progression of COVID-19. After informed consent, nebulized EtOH was given to inpatients admitted with COVID-19, and outcomes were retrospectively compared to randomly selected controls.

The numerous measures used in the treatment of acute pulmonary edema (A.P.E.) attest to the fact that no therapy is consistently satisfactory and generally useful in this syndrome.
