Olbas Oil -- 2 fl oz

Olbas Oil -- 2 fl oz

Olbas Aromatic inhalant therapeutic body massage oil. Olbas Oil has long been a household name that families reach for at the first sign of a cold. It can be dropped onto a handkerchief or into water for inhalation during the day, at night a drop on a tissue tucked inside a pillowcase can help you to breathe easily so that you get a good night's sleep. Applied to the skin, Olbas Oil produces a feeling of warmth and a local anaesthetic action, which makes it particularly effective in relieving muscular discomfort and arthritis pain. Olbas Oil originated in Basel, Switzerland over 100 years ago, and continues to be a European and worldwide favorite. The natural essential oils in Olbas Oil are extracted from six medicinal herbs, the basis of healing in cultures around the world for centuries. This synergistic combination of six essential oils provides amazing relief on multiple levels.

"This is the best remedy in a bottle ever! This product will keep you healthy and well if used on a daily basis. I use it for congestion or when I feel like I'm starting to get a sore throat, or whenever I feel out of focus. It is my "happy" serum because I absolutely love the aroma. I even put a couple of drops on my pillowcase at night....wonderful!"

"I am so thankful to have learned of Olba's Oil. I put a drop on each side of my pillow every night before I go to bed and sleep on my side so I can breathe in the vapors. Although it helps with my breathing, the main reason I use it is to keep my eyes from drying out. I use to wake up (sometimes in the middle of the night because it hurt so much) with very dry eyes. I just don't have that problem anymore."

Great for clearing the sinuses!, June 23, 2008

"This is a great "many uses" product. I initially bought it as something to have on hand to clear my sinuses (being indoors with air the conditioning running stuffs me up sometimes). I sprinkle some on a tissue, place it in a baggie, and pull it out to inhale when needed (also keep a tissue with oil on it by my bed). It works beautifully! I have also put Olbas Oil on insect bites and scratches, and it works well for these, too. One bottle lasts a very, very long time. Great product to keep in your medicine cabinet!"
