Olbas Oil - 12ml

Olbas Oil – 12 ml is a traditional decongestant inhalant oil used to provide relief from blocked nose, sinus congestion and catarrh associated with colds and flu.

The concentrated blend of pure essential oils releases aromatic vapours that help you feel like you are breathing more freely. When inhaled, the vapours provide a cooling, soothing sensation in the nasal passages, helping to relieve the discomfort of congestion and head colds.
