What are Colief Breathe Easy Patches For Colds?

Colief Breathe Easy For Colds is a gentle yet effective decongestant patch that can be worn on your child’s clothing or bedding. This disposable patch contains a comforting, natural blend of essential oils, such as eucalyptus, peppermint, rosemary and lemon oils to open the airways, relieve a blocked, runny nose, in addition to their natural antibacterial and antiseptic properties to ease the discomfort of colds. When the patch is attached to sleepwear, preferably near the chest, body heat releases essential vapours, providing beneficial effects that last for up to eight hours.

Once finished using, remove and discard the patch.

How do decongestants work?

A decongestant clears up congestion, helping you to breathe easier. Congestion is caused when the blood vessels in your nose dilate, causing inflammation and discomfort. Decongestant treatments help to narrow these blood vessels, and with the swelling reduced, it allows more air to pass through and the mucus to drain, providing relief for cold and flu symptoms.

Why does my child have a blocked nose?

There are many reasons why children can suffer from a blocked nose, and most likely, it’s nothing to worry about. Some of the most common causes of blocked noses are: cold and flu, sinusitis or a sinus infection, hay fever or other allergies, and rhinitis.

Are Colief Breathe Easy Patches For Colds suitable for children?

Colief Breathe Easy For Colds is suitable for children aged 3 years and over, and is scientifically tested to give your child up to 8 hours of relief. If you’re looking for a decongestant for a child under the age of 3, speak to your GP or  pharmacist for advice on alternative treatment options.
