At the same time the present invention helps to support healthy cilia activity which aids in moving mucus and trapped particles out of the sinus and nasal cavities, leading to clear and comfortable sinus and nasal passages.
Alvoecore further treats and prevents many common respiratory illnesses such as colds, flus, viruses, and COVID-19, while improving the user's immune system.
Alvoecore is easily administered using one of several means including: topical, spray-on, roll-on, wipes, and can also be applied to facemasks.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a product that prevents, treats, and cures respiratory illnesses such as: colds, flu, sinus infections, sinus congestion, COVID-19 virus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other types of respiratory illnesses.
A further objective of the present invention is to fight respiratory infection and inflammation of the bronchial tubes such as bronchitis.
An even further objective of the present invention is to enhance and boost the user's immune system, mood, and energy levels.
Another objective of the present invention is to aid in expelling coughs, easing sore throats, reducing fevers, and draining sinuses.
Yet a further objective of the present invention is to provide a product that is easy to administer.
A further objective of the present invention is to manage allergies, relieve headaches, and provide pain relief.
All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The present invention is a product having been designed as a “Respiratory System Protective Product” that also greatly enhance and boost one's immune system.
Some of the ingredients that are used during the creation of the present invention include: aloe vera, lavender essential oil, eucalyptus essential oil, distilled water, distilled witch hazel, hydrogen peroxide, distilled white vinegar, and distilled alcohol.
Aloe vera (or Aloe) is a cactus-like plant that grows in hot, dry climates. The aloe vera leaves have an outer skin layer that is green and thick. The inside of the aloe vera leaves contains a clear white aloe vera gel material. The aloe vera gel has been traditionally used to treat and soothe burns and abrasions of the skin. Further uses for aloe vera include ingesting the gel to promote weight loss and treat inflammatory bowel disease. Even further uses and benefits include managing allergies, expelling coughs, draining sinuses, relieving headaches, easing sore throats, boosting immunity, and improving mood and energy levels.
Lavender essential oil is created by steaming or pressing portions of the lavender plant. This process extracts an oil with the fragrance and medicinal qualities of the lavender plant.
Lavender plants have traditionally been used as an aromatherapy and inhalation therapy to treat headaches, treat depression, reduce stress, treat sinus infections, relax the airways, and improve breathing. Further, lavender has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties which allow it to be used for treating and curing infections and reducing inflammation, and have further use as a deterrent of COPD.
Eucalyptus essential oil is created by steaming or pressing the leaves of the eucalyptus plant. This process extracts an oil with the fragrance and medicinal qualities of the eucalyptus plant.
Eucalyptus has a history of being used to treat many respiratory issues such as sinus infections, nasal congestion, coughing, asthma, and improving breathing. Further, eucalyptus has been used topically to treat arthritis and skin ulcers. Eucalyptus has even further use as an aromatherapy treatment.
The present invention is created using distilled water. Distilled water is used because the use of an unpurified water, such as tap water would lead to the introduction of chemicals such as chlorine or fluorine. Further, hard water should also be avoided.
Distilled witch hazel is extracted and distilled leaves, barks, and twigs of the witch hazel plant. Distilled witch hazel is a natural remedy that has traditionally been used for treating skin related issues, the relief of itching, and to reduce swelling and inflammation. Further, it can be ingested to treat coughs and fevers.
Hydrogen peroxide has a chemical formula similar to water expect with an extra oxygen molecule. Hydrogen peroxide works by releasing the extra oxygen molecule, which creates a foam that helps to remove mucus and debris. Further, hydrogen peroxide has antiseptic properties that helps prevent infections.
Hydrogen peroxide is typically used as topical skin treatment for burns and abrasions, helping to remove debris and prevent infection. Hydrogen peroxide has been further used as a mouth rinse to remove mucus and treat infections or sores.
Distilled white vinegar is created by the fermentation and distillation of ethanol alcohol. Distilled white vinegar has a plurality of uses including cooking, cleaning, and as a medicine. As a medicine distilled white vinegar has been used to control blood sugar, reduce cholesterol, an antimicrobial, and an antifungal. Due to its antimicrobial and antifungal properties, distilled white vinegar has been used to treat nail fungus, warts, and ear infections.
Distilled alcohol is created through the fermentation and distillation of various precursors. Distilled alcohol has long been used as an antiseptic and disinfectant. Due to these strong antibacterial and disinfecting properties distilled alcohol is found in hand sanitizers, disinfecting sprays, and first aid disinfecting wipes.
The present invention is further compromised of a preferred method for creating a respiratory system protection product. The preferred method comprises separating an aloe vera gel from a quantity of aloe vera leaves by removing an outer skin layer from the quantity of aloe vera leaves.
The aloe vera leaves have a flattened triangular spiny shape. The exterior of the aloe vera leaves are covered in an outer skin layer. The outer skin layer is a green layer that is tough in nature and requires a knife or other sharp means to cut. The interior of the aloe vera leaves contains an aloe vera gel. The aloe vera gel being a white clear gel that is soft in nature and can be separated and removed from the outer skin layer by a spoon or other scraping means.
Once the aloe vera gel has been separated from the aloe vera leaves, the aloe vera gel should be cut into smaller chunks. The process of cutting the aloe vera gel into chunks helps it dissolve later during the process.
An alternate exemplary method of separating the aloe vera gel from the aloe vera leavers would be cutting the aloe vera leaves first into chunks using a knife and a cutting board. Then separating the aloe vera gel from the chunks.
The preferred method of the present invention further comprises adding the aloe vera gel to a heating vessel positioned over a heat source.
The heat source being turned off and the heating vessel being at room temperature, the heating vessel is place on top of the heat source. The heat source may comprise of a number of different heating means such as but not limited to a stove, a propane burner, or an electric hotplate.
The heating vessel may comprise of a number of different means for containing and heating a liquid mixture such as but not limited to a pot, or a kettle. The aloe vera gel is added into the heating vessel.
The preferred method further comprises preparing a first solution in a container using distilled water. The first solution being comprised of distilled water and for each 1 gallon of the distilled water the first solution further comprises: 1 tablespoon distilled witch hazel, 1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide, 1 tablespoon distilled alcohol, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, and one-half cup of baking soda.
The container used to prepare the first solution can be any container which is capable of holding liquid such as but not limited to a pitcher, a flask, or a bottle.
Now with the first solution prepared, a first mixture is created inside the heating vessel by adding the first solution to the heating vessel until the aloe vera gel is covered, so that none of the aloe vera gel is above the surface level of the first mixture.
The heating vessel used in the preferred method should have the capacity to hold or contain a volume greater than double the volume of the first mixture.
The heating vessel is covered with a lid. The lid being any suitable means for covering the top of the heating vessel while heating such as a pot lid. The heat source is turned on and the heating vessel along with the first mixture is heated.
In an alternative exemplary embodiment the heating source is comprised of a stove and the heating vessel is comprised of a pot. The stove is turned on to high or full heat, and the first mixture is raised to boiling—once boiling, the first mixture is kept at boiling for 3 minutes. The stove is then reduced down to half or medium heat.
In the ideal embodiment, baking soda may be further be further added to the first mixture at this point, after the stove is reduced to half or medium heat. One-half cup of baking soda is mixed into the first mixture, then one-half cup of distilled water is further added into the first mixture. The addition of baking soda creates a chemical reaction that fundamentally changes the properties of the first mixture. When the baking soda is added to the first mixture, the baking soda chemically reacts with the vinegar present in the in the first mixture. The baking soda may introduce further chemical reactions when added to the first mixture, including inducing reactions with distilled alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, aloe vera, lavender, and eucalyptus oils.
The mixing of the baking soda and vinegar creates a first reaction, which is described as follows: one mole of solid sodium bicarbonate reacts with one mole of liquid acetic acid to produce one mole each of carbon dioxide gas, liquid water, sodium ions, and acetate ions. The first reaction takes place in two steps. The first step is a double displacement reactions, while the second step is a decomposition reaction. The first reaction introduces sodium acetate into the mixture. In some embodiments, the excess resultant liquid water from the reaction may be evaporated off as the first mixture boils (see next step).
The introduction of baking soda into the first mixture may introduce further chemical reactions when added to the first mixture, including inducing reactions with distilled alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, aloe vera, lavender, and eucalyptus oils. It is noted that the introduction of baking soda into the first mixture may be transformed into cremes, powders, sprays, or other similar compounds or products when baking soda is introduced into the first mixture.
Once the baking soda has been added in the heat is returned to the original heat—being either high or full heat—and in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first mixture is stirred or otherwise amalgamated during the heating process. Stirring can be completed by a number of means for stirring such as but not limited to using a spatula or a spoon.
After the first mixture begins to boil for three minutes, the heating vessel is removed from the heat source. This is done to stop the heating process and prevent the first mixture from overheating. Once the heating vessel is removed from the heat source, the first mixture begins to cool. In some embodiments, the heat may be diminished instead of removing the heating vessel from the heat source. The first mixture is allowed to cool until it reaches room temperature—this is known as the “relaxing period”. Room temperature being the ambient temperature of the room, typical values would range between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. After the first mixture reaches room temperature, a second mixture is created by adding an oil component to the first mixture. During this stage, the chemical reactions induced by the introduction of baking soda into the first mixture may still be in progress.
In the preferred embodiment for each 1 gallon of the first mixture the oil component comprises: 12.5 milliliters eucalyptus essential oil, and 12.5 milliliters lavender essential oil.
If the oil component is added while the first mixture is still hot, the oil component would lose some of their medicinal value. Therefore, it is important that the first mixture cools to room temperature before the addition of the oil component.
The second mixture is blended or otherwise amalgamated to ensure all of the ingredients are blended or amalgamated together. The blending process also helps to break down any remaining chunks or large pieces. The blending can be accomplished through any means of blending such as but not limited to using a blender. During this step, the chemical reactions induced by the introduction of baking soda in the first mixture may achieve completion.
The second mixture is filtered to remove any solid material from the second mixture. The solid material being any non-liquid materials. The second mixture is filtered using any suitable means for filtering such as but not limited to pouring through a mesh strainer, a mesh screen, or a filtering media. The solid material may be discarded or stored for later use.
The respiratory system protection product is comprised of the remaining liquid from the second mixture after filtering. The respiratory system protection product may be stored at room temperature.
The present invention further comprises a respiratory system protection product that is produced by the methods of the present invention. This respiratory system protection product can be used as a topical agent that is applied to the chest, neck, and head areas. Further this respiratory system protection product can be administered through several means including but not limited to topical spray-on, wipes, or roller applications. Further the present invention maybe applied alongside or to the inside of facemasks.
After application, the present invention provides a plurality of benefits to the users such as but not limited to treating and curing colds, flus, sinus infections, and sinus congestion. Further the present invention boosts the immune system and aids in respiratory function.
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
