Many cold products especially to help decongest, contain both peppermint and eucalyptus. However, there is more to these two oils than you first imagine, hence why we produced our "breathe" candle. I shall deal with each one separately, so that you get as much information as possible!

Breathe candle , was designed with many points in mind. I wanted to make the candle good for stuffy summer and winter rooms. Plus there is always those times, when you just need to take a few moments to yourself and inhale and exhale the days stress away. I have also used it when I have had a cold, plus my husband likes it during the hayfever season, as he says it helps his asthma. It can also help to keep insects and flies away in your home, so great for summer!
