Treatment Information
Overview
Olbas Oil Inhalant is a mix of plant oils that treat the congestion of airways. It is effective against cold and flu-like symptoms, hay fever and minor airway infections.
It can also be directly massaged on the joints to relieve joint pain. The active ingredients are organic plant oils which work by reducing inflammation (swelling).
