Being stuck indoors with a blocked up nose is miserable. Just a few drops of Olbas Oil on a handkerchief can help unblock a stuffy blocked nose, thanks to the powerful natural decongestant vapours. And you can tuck the hanky into your pillowcase at night for soothing night-time congestion relief to aid restful sleep.
For a really intense Olbas experience, put a few drops of Olbas Oil in a bowl of hot water, lean over it and cover your head with a towel. It’s enough to clear even the most stubborn of blocked noses.
When you’re feeling achy, you can also try massaging in a few drops of Olbas Oil for soothing relief.
Olbas Oil is suitable for adults and children as young as 3 months.
