Clear that stuffy nose with Olbas
Review with images
29/03/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Extremely effective for providing relief to a stuffy nose and can be used for aches and pains
Disadvantages Makes my eyes water

Unfortunately, I am once again suffering with the symptoms of constant sneezing, a nose that one minute is running like mad and the next totally blocked up and as a result, I have been feeling lousy for the last nine days. As I have mentioned in a number of my previous reviews I tend to regularly catch viruses due to the fact that my immune system is somewhat weakened because of an underlying medical condition. As you are aware, with a cold comes a number of associated symptoms, such as headaches, sinus, catarrh, earache and dizziness and whilst there are not any products to get rid of the ... more

Helping to de-block my nose! 29/11/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages great decongestant, little is needed for big difference, lasts ages, inexpensive
Disadvantages cant think if a single thing to fault this product

At the moment I am still bit stuffy from having a cold, although I am on the mend. My sister (the lovely person who gave it to me!) gave me a little trick to do with some olbas oil to help unblock my nose and I am so glad I got it! Olbas oil is a mixture of essential pure plant oils and is an inhalant decongestant - to put it simply, one sniff and it helps unblock your nose. Sounds like a miracle to me! The product comes in a little green box with a picture of a green leaf on it. The bottle inside is a dark brown colour, but you are able to see inside the bottle at how much liquid is left. The ... more

Olbas Oil 25/03/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages clears nose, smells nice
Disadvantages not a great rub

This winter I had quite a few head colds that I couldn't get rid off, there is nothing worse than feeling congested and having a runny nose at night time, I lost quite a bit of sleep continually sniffing while trying to get over. I decided to take a trip to Tesco and look for something to help my head cold just before Christmas time when I came across Olbas Oil, I decided to buy it because it seems to be quite a natural substance and I had heard good things about it from a few work colleagues who were having the same problems. What Is Olbas Oil For You can use Olbas oil for blocked noses ... more

Advantages see review
Disadvantages see review

This is the season when everyone seems to have a cold. Our family are no exception with blocked and stuffy noses being a real pain. I have been using Olbas oil for as long as I can remember and always have a bottle handy. Olbas oil is made from natural plant oils and is sold as a decongestant. It is suitable for both adults and children including babies from 3 months old. It can be used to help relief the symptoms of colds, sinus problems and hay fever. The bottle comes in a small green and orange box. Inside is a small brown opaque bottle with white screw top. The bottle itself has a small ... more

A Product for all noses 22/07/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages It does unblock your nose
Disadvantages Hurts when you get it in your eye

Olbas Oil is another essential in our household, for as long as I can remember my mum would give me Olbas Oil either on a tissue or on my pillow when I had a cold or was simply bunged up, so when I moved into my own house Olbas Oil was a must have. I suffer with hayfever from time to time but whether it is used for that or just a common cold, Olbas Oil is the best product to clear bunged up noses. The Packaging Olbas Oil come in a small brown glass bottle with a green and orange label around the middle. It has the words Olbas Oil written in black lettering across the middle of the label. The ... more

My number 1 for stuffy noses (Olbas Oil) 23/04/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Easy to get hold of, natural, works well
Disadvantages Larger bottles can be harder to find

As someone who's advised not to use decongestants much because of the medication I'm on, dealing with trying to sleep when you have a cold is sometimes quite hard and that's where Olbas oil comes in incredibly handy. Unlike most decongestants you don't poke it up your nose to inhale it, you don't squirt it up there either, or take it in tablet form or anything. In fact, you don't get it anywhere closer to you than on a bit of tissue near the bed. For me, the snuffles are generally something that just happens when I have a cold, and it's normally then when I bring out the Olbas oil. However ... more

CIAO is not worth the effort - Donn't waste your time writing rev 17/07/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages nice size for carrying bottle. Only requires a few drops
Disadvantages strong when first applied, but fades quite quickly

CIAO is not worth the effort - Don't waste your time writing reviews I suffer quite often from blocked sinuses and use various methods to help clear and ease breathing when things are bad. Sprays are fine for short term relief, tablets of any kind i only take when i really have to I have used Menthol Crystals in water but lately have found really difficult to find and buy So found this product one day , I have found two ways to apply and use this one is to dab it onto a hankie or even a few drops on your clothes just under your chin. Another way is to use it like the crystals, boil some water ... more
