I recently had a blocked/stuffy nose because of the cold virus. I was trying to get my nose unblocked and decided to put some Mentholatum in hot water to breath in the steam. I did notice that I felt more comfort when I did this (in relation to my dry eyes). I am keen to experiment again to see if there is something 'real' there. I have few theories
1. Could be just coincidental
2. The heat/steam may have just made the oils softer and therefore this provided relief
3. There could be something about the Mentholatum I am hoping that 3. is the reason. But being the pessimistic I think it could be 1. I will update this post with my findings once I try this again. I will experiment with this and let you know.
