I’d like to tell you a story; it’s a love story no less!

Once upon a time, a young and fun loving 17 year old went to a nightclub with her cousin, who just also happened to be her best friend at the time. Unbeknown to the young, blonde and naïve 17 year-old (me!), the cousin had invited her boyfriend to join them, and just so the poor gullible young lassie (me again!) wouldn’t feel too left out, arranged for him to bring along a mate to keep her..er…erm….occupied!

The blushing shy virginal <cough> blonde (that would be me again folks!) took one look at the cousin’s boyfriend’s mate and was smitten. He was tall, dark and very handsome. He introduced himself as Boo. He was wearing a kipper tie, a shirt with collar points that reached to his feet and polyester flared trousers but she chose to ignore his appalling fashion sense and odd name! They began a beautiful courtship; the dark and handsome one swept the very short blonde one off her feet and impressed her with his kindness, sensitivity and his macho protective ways. She married him in a cloud of white silk and confetti and knew he would always look after her; he was a big butch tough man! She would always feel safe and protected with him around!

Then one day, not long into their marriage, he caught a rather bad cold. But he was a man, he could cope! Why, he would just shrug it off and carry on as usual! No matter that he was so congested he could hardly speak or breathe! Being a caring, sympathetic and considerate soul, she rushed off to the Chemist for him and brought back a decongestant nasal spray. “Try this my love,’ said the caring wife, “One squirt and you’ll be able to breathe again!”

The tall, dark, rugged and incredibly macho handsome husband took one look and went pale. “I’m not taking that,” he whimpered with bottom lip all of a tremble, “I don’t like the way
it feels when you spray it into your nostrils, it makes me feel weird” and he went quite white at the thought.

The wife was somewhat surprised, how could her big, burly, macho bla bla husband be turned to complete jelly by the sight of a decongestant spray?? Why, even as she watched him, he was heading for a quick lie down until the shaking stopped. What could she possibly do to help him?

CUT!!

Basically, my husband was showing himself to be a bit of a wimp, so what could I do to help relieve his symptoms and curb the quivering jelly syndrome? Olbas Decongestant Oil was the answer! Nothing horrid to squirt up his nostrils, just a few drops to be sprinkled onto his handkerchief and pillows, a few sniffs now and again and harmony would be restored!

This stuff is magical! It contains a blend of 5 different pure plant oils (originated in Switzerland), including menthol and eucalyptus, that all work together to clear up stuffy noses. If it doesn’t do the trick after a few sniffs (although I’d be surprised if it didn’t, this stuff is strong!), add a few drops to some very hot water in a bowl, cover your head with a towel and try a spot of deep steam inhalation therapy! An absolute godsend for anybody suffering from severe congestion or blocked sinuses. Your eyes will stream a little, but your suffering nasal passages will love you forever for it!

It also works well as a treatment for strained and aching muscles, you can either apply neat or mix a few drops with a base oil and massage into the affected areas. Anybody who suffers from rheumatism, arthritis, bruises and tired and aching feet will also benefit. It can also help combat the symptoms of hayfever.

Children can also use Olbas Oil, but keep a careful watch on them that they’re not overdoing it. If this product gets into your eyes, it will sting like crazy and your eyes will water big time, so smaller children should be supervised
.

Each bottle of this miracle fluid contains 28ml of Olbas Oil and should last you for months. Expect to pay around £3.50 in most chemists and supermarkets, which does seem a little steep, but you won’t have to buy a replacement very often.
Every macho man deserves it!
