OLBAS OIL

Olbas Oil's primary active ingredients are a blend of essential oils, including eucalyptus, peppermint, cajuput, wintergreen, and clove oils. The mechanism of action is attributed to the combined effects of these components. Eucalyptus oil contains eucalyptol, which acts as a decongestant by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages and helping to clear mucus. Peppermint oil contains menthol, which provides a cooling sensation and acts as a mild anesthetic, soothing irritated tissues and reducing discomfort. Cajuput, wintergreen, and clove oils contribute to the overall analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, further relieving pain and reducing swelling in the affected area. The aromatic compounds in these essential oils also stimulate sensory receptors, potentially aiding in clearing congestion and improving respiratory comfort.
