Essential oils have become extremely popular and are used in many different ways. The key feature of essential oils is that they evaporate at room temperature – this is the reason they smell so pleasant. Apart from imparting a pleasant, relaxing aroma, essential oils can also help the body in other ways, forming the basis for aromatherapy as a healthcare discipline. In addition, the essential oils of Peppermint and Eucalyptus have been used traditionally to help maintain clear, cool breathing.
Alfred Vogel first wrote about Po-Ho essential oil in March 1929 in his first magazine, Das Neue Leben (A Fresh Start). The name comes from Po-Ho, the (Mandarin) Chinese for peppermint, one of the five essential oils in this refreshing classic.
Features/Indications
- Mixture of purely natural, high quality, essential oils
- For inhalation
- Can also be rubbed onto the skin
Ingredients
Po-Ho oil for inhalation is a mixture of: Peppermint essential oil (50%), Eucalyptus essential oil (30%), Juniper essential oil (14%), Caraway essential oil (4%), Fennel essential oil (2%)
Directions For Use
The most popular use of Po-Ho is to inhale the essential oils. This can be done in a number of ways:
- Put a few drops of Po-Ho oil onto a handkerchief or bunched-up tissue, hold it to your nose and inhale. You can also put the essential oil soaked handkerchief into your pillowcase or next to your pillow to help you sleep better.
- If you need to inhale an extra boost of essential oils, put one drop of Po-Ho into a steaming-hot bowl of water, lean over, cover your head and bowl with a small towel, and inhale. Do this carefully as the oils can initially feel quite strong to your eyes when you inhale.
- Po-Ho essential oil can also be rubbed onto the front of your upper chest – your body heat will release a constant supply of essential oils for you to inhale. 1 drop of Po-Ho should be mixed with 15 drops of base oil before rubbing onto your chest.
Cautions / Contra-indications
Do not use as eye drops, nose drops or as a nasal spray.
Avoid contact with the eyes, sensitive skin or other sensitive areas of the body.
Wash your hands thoroughly after touching the oil.
Do not use Po-Ho if you are allergic to any of the essential oils.
