Flores said that she relies on this frequently whenever a wave of sickness hits and after just a couple of inhales, the fresh and medicinal vapor makes the uncomfortable sensation dissipate. Conveniently packaged like a lip balm and dual-ended to feature the inhaler component on one end and an oil dropper on the other (great for rubbing under the nose), the Allclair is non-medicated and fast-acting. It contains a blend of oils like lavender, peppermint and eucalyptus, along with camphor, menthol and borneol — an organic compound often found in rosemary.In that same story, Flores asked experts why this drug-free inhaler was so effective and, according to Stanford Healthcare’s clinical associate professor of medicine, Irene Sonu, herbal ingredients, such as peppermint or ginger, interact with key receptors involved in the sensation of nausea.
