Karvol Decongestant Chest Rub 50g

Karvol is the bedtime congestion ritual in capsule form: menthol, pine and aromatic oils sealed in twist-off capsules, snipped onto a tissue or pillowcase so the vapours release through the night. Menthol does not physically open the nose; it acts on airway cold receptors to create a vivid sensation of freer breathing, and that sensation, at 2am with a blocked-nose child, is worth having. The capsule format doses the vapour without touching skin, the classic safe way to run aromatics all night. The chest rub format spreads the aromatic vapour action as a classic bedtime rub; as with all camphor-menthol rubs, keep it off infants under 2 and away from faces.

A blocked nose is worst lying down in the dark. A drug-free vapour that makes breathing feel easier through the night has earned its multi-generational place in the winter bedroom. Because nothing is swallowed and nothing touches skin, it stacks safely on top of any medicine the illness already requires.
