Po-Ho - Essential oils for inhalation
Peppermint, eucalyptus and other essential oils
- Mixture of purely natural, high quality, essential oils
- For inhalation
- Can also be rubbed onto the skin
- Available in a 10ml bottle and inhaler stick
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.
Po-Ho essential oil for inhalation is made from the highest quality essential oils. It contains a mixture of the essential oils of peppermint, eucalyptus, juniper, caraway and fennel. It is available in a 10ml bottle as well as inhaler stick.
Apart from imparting a nice 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 – particularly during the cold or flu season.
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 amongst oils.
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.
- The easy-to-carry essential oil inhaler stick is a convenient way of using Po-Ho. To use, insert the tip of the inhaler gently into your nostril, close the other nostril and inhale deeply. Repeat with the other nostril. Not suitable for children under 6 years of age.
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%
Po-Ho essential oil inhaler stick also contains limonene, linalool and vitamin E.
The few things you should take care of when using
Po-Ho are:
- Do not use as eye drops, nose drops or as a nasal spray.
- Avoid contact with the eyes and 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 or other ingredients of the inhaler stick.
- Best stored in a cool place.

“The tablets do exactly what they say they will do. They have made my menopause symptoms so more bareable. Most of the day I forget I'm premenopausal . When I forget to take the tablet in the morning I start to suffer with hot flushes by the afternoon . Will recommend them to my friends who are going through the same symptoms.”

Pregnancy can make you more susceptible to a blocked nose. Hormonal changes can cause the delicate tissues of your nose to become inflamed, restricting the flow of air and causing you to experience a blocked nose.
