Ebba Sinus Relief Oil
A cool, bracing aromatherapy roll-on inspired by St. Ebba of Coldingham and companions. Rosemary, eucalyptus, and peppermint make a sharp, invigorating herbal scent — the kind traditionally kept close through cold and allergy season — with geranium to round it out. Roll it over the brow, cheekbones, and neck and breathe it in.
Rosemary — Carnosic acid — a potent antioxidant, and why rosemary has preserved oils for centuries. Sharp, green, resinous.
Geranium — Citronellol — soft and rosy; it rounds the blend. Green-floral.
Eucalyptus — 1,8-cineole — the compound behind eucalyptus's clearing character. Sharp and camphorous.
Peppermint — Menthol — it triggers the skin's cold receptors, which is why it reads as instantly cooling. Bright and icy.

It's a roll-on for the stuffed-up, heavy-headed feeling of congestion. Eucalyptus and peppermint open things up on contact — cool, sharp, and clearing — while rosemary and geranium round out the blend. Roll it over the sinuses when your head feels thick and breathe it in; the relief is right away, and it's small enough to keep in a pocket or bag.
Along the sides of the nose, across the brow, over the cheekbones, behind the ears, and down the sides of the neck — anywhere the pressure sits. Keep it clear of your eyes. A light roll under the nose lets you breathe it in directly.
Both. Many people keep it going through allergy and cold season — a roll morning and night — and reach for it more often when they're actually stuffed up, up to a few times a day.
Bracing and herbal — cool peppermint and eucalyptus over green rosemary, like crushed garden herbs in cold air. It clears the head as much by scent as by feel.
It's diluted in a jojoba base for comfortable roll-on use, but peppermint and eucalyptus are potent by nature — that's rather the point. Keep it away from the eyes, and if your skin runs sensitive, patch test on your inner wrist first.
