Olbas Oil contains a unique combination of natural aromatic oils that release soothing vapours when inhaled or applied to the skin.
These vapours act as a natural decongestant, helping to clear blocked noses, ease breathing, and relieve sinus pressure.
When applied topically, Olbas Oil helps to stimulate blood flow to the affected area, providing a warming sensation that helps reduce muscular aches and stiffness.
Always read the patient information leaflet before use.
Olbas Oil can be used in two ways: inhalation and topical application.
Children aged 3 months to 2 years:
Apply 1 drop onto a tissue and hold it close to the nose to inhale the vapours.
Do not add to hot water for infants.
Adults and children aged 2 years and above:
Apply 2-3 drops onto a tissue or cloth and inhale deeply.
Alternatively, add 2-3 drops to a bowl of hot (not boiling) water, lean over it, and cover your head with a towel.
