OLBAS® – essential oils to treat colds

The risk of catching colds rises every winter, as regular as clockwork. As soon as the climate changes and strong fluctuations between warm and cold appear, the body becomes susceptible to these infections. The risk of catching a cold is high, even amongst the young. The best tactic is to arm oneself against viral attacks at an early stage. The essential oils from OLBAS® are particularly effective at alleviating the symptoms of colds. The oils can either be inhaled or rubbed into the skin, and have expectorant, relaxing and anti-inflammatory effects.

The active substances enter the organism rapidly via the lungs or via the capillary vessels, and help to alleviate cold symptoms. OLBAS® is the first bottled remedy with this effect: a few drops applied to a pillowcase or pocket handkerchief, and the beneficial oil vapours from the blue bottle significantly assist respiration. The skin-friendly OLBAS® ointment contains a balanced combination of these oils, and can even be recommended for children from the age of 3 upwards. The OLBAS® herb pastilles in a click-box, which have a pleasant eucalyptus/peppermint taste and which fit in every handbag or jacket pocket. OLBAS® products are available without prescription from pharmacies and drug stores.
