Just did my first OO neb treatment!

Well, got everything together today and finally started.

Took about 1/2 an hour. I did 4 drops(working my way up to 5-6 drops) of the OO with about 5-6 mL of Saline Solution.

Feel no difference yet... Maybe a slightly deeper breath? My FEV1 was 83% I believe last time I was in clinic... so I will do this 2x a day for a month or so and go to clinic to see if there were results. I hope all goes well.

Yeah don't expect one treatment to do anything. Maybe by a week you will start feeling clearer. I started feeling better in a couple of days.

If it is your first try of the stuff, you will cough a ton of stuff up because the stuff has like 8 different expectorant natural substances in it. So from the aspect of feeling better due to getting rid of a ton of gunk, yeah you would feel better. But as far as how myself and others felt as in truely being clearer and being able to really breath deeper, it took a little time. All those bugs in there don't die overnight.

This is the OP

I felt like my caughs were more 'controlled' (for lack of a better word) and the gunk that was coming up was more concentrated/thick?

Not quite sure, I am about to do my second treatment of the day. Boy this stuff makes the whole room smell like oregano! LOL
