Due to the poor air quality as well as the impending allergy issues, I have been delighted to find various local and international remedies otherwise not found in the US. For instance, in the realm of breathing/respiratory aid resides many fragrant and mentholated oils and pastes. One such product I have found great results with, by the name of Cogoni. This is an oil made in India someplace but includes the following ingredients in certain percentages:

Cinnamon Oil 4.445%
Clove Oil 6.668%
Menthol 6.668%
Peppermint Oil 4.445%
Camphor 8.890%
Thymol 8.890%
Eucalyptus Oil 1000%

The figure associated with the Eucalyptus Oil is not entirely correct but as it does not specify, I find it substantial to guess at such a lofty percentage. The directions on the vial read as follows: “Two drops with Tea or Water for cough, colds, flu, gastric troubles, vomiting, etc etc.”

This appears to be a cure all, “good for whatever ails you.” I have successfully consumed two mugs of tea thus far with a few drops of this product within. Other options for use are dropping a bit in hot bath water, placing a few drops on a handkerchief to be inhaled, and similar uses. It did not go so far as to specify, but I am certain it can also be dropped straight into the nasal passages for instant breathing assistance.

Regardless, I find the local remedies to be quite interesting and I am sure half of them would never be approved in the US due to extreme potency. Worry not if you are finding yourself desiring such a vial of wonder oil. If you desire your own, I shall be glad to purchase some and bring it back to the US when I return. This decision should only be made after much contemplation if you truly desire to find the miraculous powers of this conglomeration of fragrant oils. Think about it!
