Frequently asked questions and answers

How do I inhale correctly?

  1. Heat 1-2 liters of water and pour it into a stable vessel (a bowl or a pot).
  2. When the temperature of the water is about 80 °C add 3-4 drops of China-Oel®. Note: Water from a kettle will cool down to 80 °C in about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Bend over the bowl (caution: do not immerse!) and spread a towel over your head so that the steam does not escape to the side. Breathe normally through your mouth and nose. Do not inhale for more than 10 minutes.

Tip: Use the practical China-Oel® inhaler (medical device) when you are in the office, traveling and on the road or when you want to inhale without water.

What is the best way to store China-Oel®?

China-Oel® should be stored inaccessible to children, protected from light and not above 25 °C. In the original packaging, the contents are protected from light.
