What is olbas?

If you have a blocked nose, cough or just want to feel like minty freshness has taken over every breath you take, then Olbas is what the doctor ordered. But wait, don’t call your physician yet because we’ve got all the details on this actual-life-saver.

A Brief Introduction

For those who aren’t familiar with it- and honestly why would someone not know?-, Olbas is basically an essential oil blend that comprises plant extracts of peppermint, eucalyptus, cajuput (that’s a type of tea tree), wintergreen and juniper in crystal-clear liquid form.

Not Just Another Essential Oil

Surely there are hundreds if not thousands of natural oils available out there, so what makes Olbas different from all others? The possible answer can be found by looking at individual components of this herbal elixir.

Peppermint

Peppermint has been traditionally used as a flavoring agent for candies and chewing gum since ancient times. Its active ingredient ‘Menthol’ provides cooling relief to sore throats while also acting as an expectorant for stubborn phlegm(truly poetic!). Inhaling Peppermint can help clear sinuses too.

Eucalyptus

You might recognize it as the favorite food choice of cute Koalas but did you know that eucalyptus oil has antibacterial properties too? This powerful health boost originated in Australia awakens senses when used topically; its menthol-like odor assists air passage during colds & congestion.

Cajuput

We bet nobody here knows about cajuput except our resident flora expert (we don’t have one). Derived from Melaleuca Leucadendron leaves native to Southeast Asia & Northern Australia; cajput features antibacterial qualities such as Eucalyptus but the aroma is dulcet and faintly sweet.

Wintergreen

Despite its name, wouldn’t it be amazing if winter green helped you survive snow storms? Sorry to say that it stays useless in such situations but it does soothe muscles when applied topically. Besides relieving pain & inflammation caused by sprains or arthritis, this minty extract uplifts mood when inhaled.

Juniper

Last but not least, we’ve got juniper oil- gathered from shredded branches of berries found commonly around our forests’ floor! While known for potent anti-inflammatory benefits as well; most people recognize its pleasing smell.

Benefits galore!

So what can Olbas do for us?

  • Soothes symptomatic relief as aforementioned previous headers

Olbas comes recommended across all age groups for general maintenance of respiratory health that helps protect our nose against harmful pathogens too (quite a multitasker!) All you need to do is add few drops to your steam bath or use a couple on your pillow before sleeping (yes some fans are THAT comitted)
