Olbas Oil Inhalant Decongestant

...my sister-in-law recommended we tried Olbas Oil. While it didn't really help with the RSV, its proved invaluable at helping during times when I've personally been very blocked up. ~~~The Range~~~ Olbas oil is part of a small range of products. These are : Olbas Oil inhalant decongestant Olbas Inhaler Olbas blackcurrant flavour sugar free pastilles Olbas Vapour rub Olbas Bath Olbas for children All of these contain essential oils and claim ...
...are two main uses for Olbas Oil : The first is as an inhalant decongestant. In this case you would put a few drops on a tissue and “sniff” it as needed. I find this works really well, but the first few sniffs are very strong, and then it gradually reduces strength over the space of a good few hours. At night I put two drops on the bottom pillow, about an hour before going to bed, to give it time to lose that initial pungency. I then find it lasts ...

Review of Olbas Oil Inhalant Decongestant

...curb the quivering jelly syndrome? Olbas Decongestant Oil was the answer! Nothing horrid to squirt up his nostrils, just a few drops to be sprinkled onto his handkerchief and pillows, a few sniffs now and again and harmony would be restored! This stuff is magical! It contains a blend of 5 different pure plant oils (originated in Switzerland), including menthol and eucalyptus, that all work together to clear up stuffy noses. If it doesn’t do ...
...Children can also use Olbas Oil, but keep a careful watch on them that they’re not overdoing it. If this product gets into your eyes, it will sting like crazy and your eyes will water big time, so smaller children should be supervised. Each bottle of this miracle fluid contains 28ml of Olbas Oil and should last you for months. Expect to pay around £3.50 in most chemists and supermarkets, which does seem a little steep, but you won’t have ...

...colour LOL) with the words OLBAS OIL (Although, I spent most of my childhood calling it OLLYBUS OIL for some strange reason), my mum said the chemist has recommended her it, as it was new out, so I read the instructions and gave it a go (as I was at the time suffering once again SNIFF SNIFF), just a couple of drops on a tissue and a sniff or two later, I was cured, my blocked nose had instantly been cleared, HOORAY, I could actually breathe through ...
...took the bottle to bed, and sprinkled another couple of drops on my pillow, which helped my breathing during the night-time. When I woke up, there was no sign of my stuffy nose, as a matter of fact, my nose was as clear as ever. As the years have passed, I have sworn by this stuff, it really is excellent for clearing your blocked noses and catarrh, and I will get the bottle out whenever it is needed, it is very strong, but not in the same way as ...

Review of Olbas Oil Inhalant Decongestant

...a couple of drops of Olbas oil on a tissue and then placing it in her pillow case before she went to bed and the difference this made was amazing. Almost instantly she stopped coughing and was less congested and as result we all got a good nights sleep. You can smell the oil as soon as you walk into the room as it is strong and smells of mint and eucalyptus. It is not an unpleasant smell and when you inhale it you can feel it clearing your nose ...

Review of Olbas Oil Inhalant Decongestant

...keep a little bottle of Olbas Oil in my medicine cabinet. I hadn't realised just how useful this little bottle of oil can be! ==A Bit About The Oil== Olbas Oil is a blend of essential oils which give off a pleasant and not too overpowering aroma to aid nasal congestion or a blocked nose. Unlike some decongestants with a strong menthol aroma Olbas Oil has a really nice, refreshing, herby smell, which instantly seems to clear congestion. The oil ...
...applying a few drops of Olbas Oil to my pillow, well away from where my face might be, helps me to have a good night's sleep. For children, if using the oil during the night, it would probably be more preferable to put a few drops on a tissue and place the tissue inside the pillowcase or by the bedside. My daughter is always very stuffed up at night time and sometimes has very restless nights but the Olbas Oil always helps her to sleep soundly. ...

Review of Olbas Oil Inhalant Decongestant

...remedies. I will start with Olbas Oil. Many of you may not have heard of this is it is not all that well known. Probably the best comparison that can be made is with Vicks (of vapour rub fame). They are both inhalant decongestants, only unlike Vicks, Olbas Oil is in an oil form rather than a cream. Inhalant means it is something you inhale - breathe in, while decongestant means it relieves congestion and basically will help to clear your nose. ...
...DO YOU USE IT? Olbas Oil has actually got several uses. Firstly, and most likely to be the reason you will buy it, it can be used to clear a stuffy nose and help with painful sinuses. Simply put a few drops onto a tissue and keep this with you during the day, breathing in when necessary. At night do the same but place it inside your pillowcase to help you sleep. The inhalation method can also be done to help with hayfever. Secondly you can use ...

The active ingredients are as follows: CAJUPUT OIL – which, according to my dictionary, is the pungent,aromatic oil distilled from the leaves of an Indo-Malayan and Australian myrtaceous tree Melaleuca Leucodendron. CLOVE OIL – intensely spicy and heady JUNIPER BERRY OIL - also used in making gin! MENTHOL – a camphor, got from oil of peppermint DEMENTHOLISED MINT OIL – from the aromatic Mentha ...

Review of Olbas Oil Inhalant Decongestant

...some relief, I would recommend Olbas Oil. It’s very strong, and smells of mint, it is a decongestant, and provides relief from catarrh, colds and sinuses. From my experience it’s the best thing to use for relief from a blocked nose, and works better than any sweets/lozenges. Tunes have never worked for, no matter how many I take. You can either put a few drops on a tissue, and breathe it in. Or put a few drops into a bowl with some boiling ...
...towel over your head to trap the steam. This is probably the most effective. You can also put it into an oil burner, but I never find this very effective, as it just makes the room smell minty, but isn’t strong enough to clear your nose. You can also use it as a rub, to relieve headaches, and muscle pain. I’ve never tried this, buy my dad uses it often. The labels stated that it is suitable for children from 2 years and over. You can ...

...bought him some tissues with Olbas oil in them and that I was looking after him through his illness. Well I, unlike him, and not on my death bed and do not need constant care, as all men do with man flu but I do need something to sort out my blocked nose. It’s so infuriating when you cannot breathe and so I really needed something that would unblock my stuffy nose. I have always used Vicks in the past but had heard that Olbas Oil might be a little ...

...anything…I card hear anything…I deed Olbas Oil. Ah, the relief. The cool, herbal vapour spreads through your nasal passages to bring instant, refreshing relief from that miserable blocked-up feeling of a heavy cold or catarrh, or the pain of sinusitis. It is also very useful in relieving the symptoms of hayfever. Olbas Oil is a natural, synergistic preparation of six oils: peppermint, eucalyptus, cajeput, wintergreen, juniper and cloves. ...
...sprinkle a few drops of Olbas Oil onto a tissue and inhale deeply. Alternatively, sprinkle 10-12 drops into a bowl of hot water, put a towel over your head, bend over the bowl (be careful!) and inhale the steam. Bliss. At night, sprinkle a few drops of the oil onto your pillow to help keep your nasal passages clear whilst you sleep. I find this very effective. As well as using for colds and associated symptoms, Olbas Oil is excellent to massage ...

...this is certainly true of Olbas Oil. A small amount of this oil does wonders for symptoms of colds and a range of other complaints as well. Olbas Oil is principally an inhalant decongestant. It contains a mixture of natural plant oils originated from Switzerland, which provide relief from bronchial and nasal complaints. These include catarrh, colds and sinuses. By direct application to the skin, Olbas Oil also relieves symptoms of muscular pain, ...
...Perhaps the best thing about Olbas Oil is that it can be used in several ways. The first way is to add two or three drops to a tissue and inhale. This is what I do to relieve blocked noses and the stuffiness caused by colds and hayfever. The vapours given off by the oils get to work straight away, causing a cold, numbing sensation in the nose. This is particularly beneficial at night. Simply put the tissue inside the pillowcase and breathe the vapours ...
