Seasonal sniffles? Sinus pressure? That groggy, head-in-a-fog feeling? Whether it’s hayfever, a head cold or general congestion, our Decongestant Vapour Balm and Pulse Point Roller Ball are your natural allies for clear breathing and calm moments.
At Husk & Seed, we believe in the power of plants to restore balance, and this duo is no exception. Let’s take a closer look at the essential oils inside — and why they work so beautifully together.
💨 Why Use a Balm and a Roller Ball?
While both products are designed to ease congestion and help you breathe deeply, they each bring something unique:
-
The Vapour Balm is rich, soothing and ideal for bedtime or when you're staying in. It melts into the skin and provides long-lasting aromatic relief.
-
The Pulse Point Roller Ball is stronger, more concentrated, and designed for on-the-go use — perfect for popping in your bag for a quick, refreshing boost.
Used together, they create a ritual of relief — calming the body, clearing the mind, and supporting your respiratory system naturally.
🌿 The Essential Oils That Make It Work
Here’s a breakdown of the hardworking oils we’ve blended into these products — and what each one does for you:
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus)
✅ Opens airways, clears sinuses, relieves congestion
This sharp, fresh oil is a go-to for respiratory support. It helps reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and supports easier breathing, especially when inhaled deeply.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita)
✅ Cools, energises, and soothes tension
Peppermint provides that instant ‘ahh’ feeling — a cool tingle that can soothe headaches, reduce sinus pressure, and awaken the senses.
Frankincense (Boswellia carterii)
✅ Deepens the breath, grounds the nervous system
Used in meditation for centuries, frankincense isn’t just calming — it’s also anti-inflammatory and supports the lungs. A key player in helping you feel balanced and clear-headed.
Clove Bud (Eugenia caryophyllus)
✅ Powerful natural purifier with warm, comforting notes
Clove is rich in eugenol, giving it strong antimicrobial and pain-relieving properties. It adds a warming depth to the blend, helping to relax tight muscles and support immunity.
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
✅ Stimulates circulation and clears mental fog
This herbaceous oil is wonderful for boosting alertness and blood flow, making it a great companion to eucalyptus in clearing the head and easing sluggishness.
Lemon (Citrus limon)
✅ Brightens the blend and uplifts the mood
Refreshing and zesty, lemon adds a lightness to the formula and helps cleanse the airways with its natural antimicrobial properties.
Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)
✅ Purifies and supports immunity
Known for its powerful antibacterial and antiviral action, tea tree oil is a key ingredient for defending the body and cleansing the skin and airways.
Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans)
✅ Warming, grounding, and comforting
Nutmeg rounds out the blend with a spicy warmth that complements the cooler oils, helping to bring calm to the senses.
✨ How to Use the Duo
Decongestant Balm:
Warm a small amount between your fingers and massage gently onto the chest, back, or under the nose. It’s especially effective before bed or when paired with a warm compress or steam inhalation.
Pulse Point Roller Ball:
Roll onto temples, wrists, neck, or under the nose. Inhale deeply and let the oils do their work. Ideal for moments of congestion, travel, or mid-day clarity breaks.
