Opening your airways

[no calves]

We have all seen those band aid thingys the pro's (Kevin Evans is a big user of them) stick on the bridge of their nose to help open airways. I have also seen some of the euro pro's stick stose buds in their noses dunked in some substance.

 

my Question is: anybody know what that substance is??? and no i am not looking for an answer like rocket fuel...

I recall reading something about sniffing menthol/mint doing something to open up your airways?

Eucalyptus Oil

 

More specificly "Olbas"

You can get it at the pharmacy. One of those spring loaded plasters on the nose and a dab of Olbas oil on the cloves right on the spot where you rub your nose and you won't have issues for a while.

I cannot believe how long those nose plasters have been around, worse than the power balance things.

 

Do people actualy buy them and believe they work (from a sporting perspective)

 

If that was true them the surely philomon platneus has the potential to be a world champion cyclist

Eucalyptus Oil

 

You meant evening primrose oil, and you don't understand what EPO does, do you?

I Agree on Olbas. I use it in winter especially to clear airways.
