Olbas Oil

Olbas Oil is made from natural plant oils and is used to help when you have a blocked nose, a cold, or sinus pain. When you breathe in the strong, fresh smell, it helps open up your nose and chest so you can breathe more easily. You can also put a small amount on your skin to help with sore muscles and stiffness. It works quickly and is usually used for short-term relief.
