, the famous poet Sunthorn Phu in his work Nirat Phukhao Thong even mentioned the king’s love of perfume.Since then, ya dom has become part of the daily culture of Thai people.
Now, they come in various forms, ranging from inhaler sticks, dried herbal pieces in bottles, liquid oils, to ointments.However, the most popular form remains the herbal inhaler that is easy to carry around.
Although each brand has a different formula, the main ingredients of Thai herbal inhalers generally consist of the following four main components:
1. Menthol
Provides a cool and fresh sensation, helps relieve nasal congestion, and relieves mild headaches.
2. Camphor (camphor)
Known for its distinctive calming aroma, camphor is often used to treat nasal congestion and dizziness.
3. Eucalyptus Oil
Works to relieve sinus congestion, has natural antiseptic and deodorant properties, and is known to repel insects.
4. Borneol
Natural aromatic compounds that provide a calming effect and are believed to reduce dizziness.
Some brands also add decongestants such as oxymetazoline or pseudoephedrine to help improve breathing.
However, it is not recommended to use this substance for more than one to two weeks, because it can damage the nasal tissue and cause a rebound effect, where the nose becomes even more blocked.
