Inhalers

Thai inhalers: Poy-Sian, Pastel, Hong Thai, Cher Aim — for a blocked nose, travel sickness and faintness

A Thai inhaler is the small cylinder in the pocket of drivers, office workers and grandmothers all over Thailand: one breath and the nose opens, the head clears, travel sickness recedes. Inside — menthol, camphor, borneol, eucalyptus and peppermint oils on a soaked wick or as a dry herbal blend. 30 products: Poy-Sian and Pastel sticks, Cher Aim roll-on and oil inhalers, Green Herb oil inhaler, Hong Thai and Jarunjit dry herbal jars, Siang Pure, Tiger Balm Inhaler, Peppermint Field.

How to choose

Blocked nose with a cold — a menthol stick, Poy-Sian or Pastel: sharp, fast, lasts 2–3 months. Travel sickness, stuffiness, faintness — dry herbal Hong Thai: herbs and camphor without the sharp chill. Tension headache — Cher Aim with borneol: inhale and rub a drop on the temples. Gentle, for air-conditioned rooms — the Green Herb oil inhaler. First time — Pastel, the mildest stick and the most popular.

Good to know

Inhalers ease breathing but do not treat sinusitis, allergy or migraine. Do not insert into the nose or touch the mucous membrane — inhale from 1–2 cm. Not for children under 6; with asthma, use with caution. Keep the oil away from eyes and mucous membranes.

Questions and answers

How do I use a Thai inhaler?

Unscrew the cap, hold 1–2 cm from a nostril, breathe in deeply 2–3 times, repeat on the other side. Close tightly or it evaporates.

Poy-Sian or Pastel?

Poy-Sian is the classic and slightly sharper; Pastel is milder with many scents and colours. Both contain menthol and eucalyptus.
