Results
Summing up the results of today's meeting, I would like to point out one aspect. Treatment of osteochondrosis is necessary, but without the help of doctors you will not be able to overcome the disease on your own.
You can take a wide variety of painkillers in tablets, make anti-inflammatory injections and compresses, but such self-medication will have little benefit.
We need a systematic approach. Only a doctor can determine in what quantity and how many injections you need to give, when and how you should take aminophylline and other anti-inflammatory drugs.
I hope you understood me correctly. I would like this material to push you to the right actions. I wish you good health and thank you for your attention. Subscribe to new articles and updates on my blog. Share the information you receive with your friends, family and loved ones. Until next time.
Sincerely, Vladimir Litvinenko!
Mechanism of influence on the disease
Pain due to osteochondrosis can lead to reflex vascular spasm. Pathological bone growths can compress and irritate arterial, nervous, and choroid plexuses, which leads to their narrowing and disruption of normal blood circulation in the tissues of the cervical, thoracic or lumbar region with osteochondrosis.
The drug Eufillin eliminates the problem of blood stagnation and improves its microcirculation.
The drug Eufillin has a relaxing effect on smooth vascular muscles in osteochondrosis, thereby eliminating the problem of blood stagnation and improving its microcirculation. Due to the increase in the lumen of blood vessels, the drug Eufillin also has an anticoagulant effect. In addition, improving local blood circulation helps reduce pain, which is a constant companion to osteochondrosis.
Instructions for use
The use of the drug Eufillin for osteochondrosis as an intravenous injection ensures rapid entry of active substances into the blood. At the beginning of treatment of osteochondrosis, a low concentration of a vasodilator drug is used. Eufillin is diluted in saline and administered intravenously, monitoring the patient’s blood pressure and heart rate.
The dosage and duration of treatment for osteochondrosis with Eufillin should be prescribed by a doctor, taking into account age, indications, clinical symptoms and other factors. Self-medication is prohibited. 10–20 ml of the drug (2.4%) is diluted in 100–150 ml of sodium chloride solution and administered dropwise at a slow speed (30–50 drops/min.). For children, the dosage is smaller; it is prescribed individually according to age. Eufillin is almost completely absorbed by the body, the bioavailability of the drug is 90–100%. After a day, Eufillin is excreted from the body mainly through the liver.
The drug can be used in children only as prescribed by a doctor.
Electrophoresis procedures with Euphyllin have become quite popular. They promote rapid penetration of the drug through the skin into the body. Eufillin solution is applied to the electrode pads. Due to the action of alternating current, the power and strength of which fluctuate, a high concentration of the medicinal substance is created directly at the site of inflammation without saturating other environments of the body with Euphyllin. A course of electrophoresis procedures (at least 10), when carried out professionally, provides analgesic, anti-inflammatory, relaxing effects, and a restorative effect on trophic processes in the intervertebral cartilage.

Garlic for shortness of breath
Garlic can be considered a dietary supplement due to the fact that it contains a huge amount of useful components. For example, one of the main substances in garlic is considered to be thiamine, or vitamin B1. This substance stabilizes the functioning of the nervous system, improves the processing of sugars and facilitates the flow of intracellular energy processes. True, only raw garlic that has not undergone heat treatment has such properties.
Garlic is useful for the prevention of ARVI, for improving the functioning of joints and liver. But does garlic help with breathing difficulties?
Garlic helps hypertensive patients normalize high blood pressure: it dilates blood vessels and alleviates the condition of patients. The mass of useful substances in garlic helps eliminate the risk of blood clots. And blood thinning is one of the methods for preventing strokes and heart attacks.

The drug Eufillin has the following therapeutic effects for bronchitis:
The action of the medicine is aimed at relaxing the muscles of the bronchi
- expansion of the lumen of the bronchial tree;
- relief of swelling;
- stimulation of diaphragm contraction and improvement of lung ventilation;
