Kongka Herb Herbal Inhaler Classic Blue 1 thb

Kongka Herb Inhaler — the classic Thai herbal inhaler (blue-and-yellow tube): menthol, camphor, borneol, eucalyptus; for a stuffy nose, stuffy rooms and motion sickness — a 1-baht bonus item

The little yellow-and-blue Kongka Herb tube is Thailand's most recognisable inhaler: drivers, shopkeepers and students twirl it in their hands all over the country. Inside is a herbal blend of menthol, camphor, borneol and eucalyptus — open, inhale, and the nose clears, the head feels lighter and bus nausea fades. It is two-sided: a dry inhaler on top, a liquid balm underneath for the temples and under the nose. In our shop it is a bonus item for 1 baht with your order.

What it is

Kongka Herb Inhaler (Original) is a pocket inhaler made to a traditional Thai recipe: a mix of essential oils and crystals — menthol, camphor, borneol, eucalyptus oil and herbal extracts — in a two-part tube. The top is a dry inhaler with a cotton wick; the bottom (unscrews) holds a liquid herbal balm-oil for the temples, under the nose or on an insect bite. Registered in Thailand as a traditional herbal product. Kongka Herb makes several versions; the classic is the most balanced in freshness.

What it is used for

• A blocked nose from a cold or allergy — menthol and eucalyptus ease breathing in seconds;
• Stuffy rooms, heat, air conditioning — refreshes and lifts a heavy head;
• Motion sickness on a bus, in a car or boat — Thais inhale at the first sign of nausea;
• Drowsiness at the wheel or at work — the sharp cool jolt wakes you up;
• The balm underneath — on the temples for a tension headache, under the nose for a runny nose, dabbed on a mosquito bite.

How to use

Inhaler: remove the cap, hold to one nostril, inhale once or twice, close. As needed, usually 3–6 times a day. Balm: unscrew the bottom, rub a drop into the temples, behind the ears or under the nose. Close tightly after use — the essential oils evaporate; the scent lasts 1–3 months.

Who it suits

People who catch colds often or have seasonal allergies; travellers and anyone prone to motion sickness; drivers and office workers; hot holidays. A classic Thai souvenir for pennies — people buy 5–10 for friends.

Good to know

For inhalation and external use only — do not swallow, do not put drops in the nose. Not for children under 6 (menthol and camphor); ages 6–12 under supervision, one shallow breath. Do not apply the balm to mucous membranes, around the eyes or on broken skin. With asthma, sharp menthol can trigger coughing — try carefully. It relieves the feeling of congestion but does not treat a cold or sinusitis.

Storage

Tightly closed, at room temperature, away from sun and heat (it evaporates faster in a hot car). Best-before date on the pack.

Questions and answers

Why 1 baht?

It is a bonus added to an order once the cart reaches the qualifying amount. Not sold separately.

How is it different from the Kongkaerb eucalyptus version?

The classic is balanced and herbal with menthol and camphor; the eucalyptus one is sharper and colder and clears a blocked nose harder.

What is in the bottom part?

A liquid herbal balm — the same blend in oil form. Apply to the temples, under the nose or on bites.

How long does it last?

1–3 months of daily use, then the scent fades. Keep it closed.

Can I take it on a plane?

Yes — tiny volume, fine in hand luggage. Helps with pressure changes and dry cabin air.
