- Infants 3 months to under 2 years: Add 1 drop to a tissue and hold it near (not on) the child so they can breathe the vapours. Do not allow direct contact with skin. Consider the gentler “Olbas for Children” formulation.
- Not recommended for babies under 3 months.
As a rub (muscular aches)
- Adults & children 12 years and over: Apply a small amount to the affected area and massage lightly up to 3 times daily on unbroken skin.
