Abstract: The treatment of diseases of the respiratory tract with volatile oils has a long tradition. The conifer oils have recently been studied. They are said to show a quick secretolytical effect. This could be proven for a conifer oil bath preparation in a study with altogether 30 patients. In contrast to a control group (n = 15) of patients who were treated only with brine inhalation, with the fifteen patients who used the oil baths the symptoms improved significantly. They carried through the application over twelve days, whilst most patients of the control group stopped participating after a few days because their inhalations did not show any effects.
