Toco-Tholin drops are based on seven pure essential oils, enriched with menthol. The recipe is nearly 100 years old and is a unique family formula created by naturopath Carl Friederizi.
To this day, thousands of bottles are shipped, and Toco-Tholin drops are used for various purposes. It’s no coincidence that the unique formula of these drops is known as "the good old home remedy."
The power of Toco-Tholin drops lies in the positive effects of the seven natural essential oils (peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, star anise oil, petitgrain oil, lavender oil, rosemary oil, and clove oil) mixed with menthol. The ingredients in this special blend have been known for thousands of years for their relaxing properties and positive impact on body and mind.
In this blog, we explain all the different ways you can use Toco-Tholin drops! The drops have a rather strong and intense scent, so if you are sensitive to it, it’s best to limit usage to just one drop at a time.
Toco-Tholin Drops for Fungal and Thickened Nails
A thickened or fungal nail is a persistent condition that can be difficult to treat. If left untreated, the nail can become thick, bumpy, and yellow-white over time. Treating fungal nails is challenging, but did you know that Toco-Tholin drops with their antiseptic properties can help?
Apply Toco-Tholin drops twice a day directly onto the nail. It is crucial that the liquid penetrates well between the nail and the nail bed to maximize its effectiveness. Continue this treatment until the affected part of the nail has completely grown out. Keep in mind that toenails grow about 1 mm per month, so visible results may take some time.
Toco-Tholin Drops for Headaches
Do you sometimes suffer from headaches? Of course, the best way to prevent headaches is by getting enough rest and avoiding stress. Activities such as massage, meditation, or yoga can also be excellent ways to help you relax.
However, if you’re looking for a natural remedy to help relieve headaches, Toco-Tholin drops might be the perfect solution for you! Simply apply a drop to your forehead and/or temples, then lie down for a while. Your headache should gradually fade away on its own!
Toco-Tholin Drops for Steam Inhalation During a Cold
Are you feeling a bit congested and struggling with a stuffy nose? Steam inhalation with a few drops of Toco-Tholincan help clear your nasal passages. The steam effectively loosens mucus, making it easier to breathe again.
There are different ways to use Toco-Tholin drops for steam inhalation:
- In the shower: Sprinkle a few drops on the shower wall and take a warm shower. The steam combined with the essential oils helps clear your airways.
- Over a bowl of hot water: Fill a bowl with hot water (maximum 60°C). Add a few drops of Toco-Tholin, place a towel over your head and the bowl, and inhale deeply through your nose, exhaling through your mouth. Continue for about 5 to 10 minutes, or stop earlier if it gets too warm.
There are also many other ways to use Toco-Tholin drops when you have a cold.
In a cup of warm water: Dissolve one or two drops in a cup of warm water and drink it. This has a warming effect and spreads a comforting sensation throughout the body, which is especially soothing when you're feeling under the weather.
Applied to the throat: Rub one drop on your neck to help soothe your throat, especially if you also have a sore throat. Chest or back application: Rub a few drops onto your chest or back to breathe more freely and experience relief from congestion.
These simple applications make Toco-Tholin drops a great natural remedy to help you feel better faster during a cold!
Toco-Tholin Drops Against Mosquitoes and Other Insects
As previously mentioned, Toco-Tholin drops have a strong and intense scent. Insects, especially mosquitoes, dislike this smell, making it an excellent natural repellent.
Simply apply a few drops to your hair, clothing, or pillow to keep mosquitoes at bay. This is ideal for warm summer nights when you want to sleep undisturbed or when you're heading out for a walk in a mosquito-prone area.
Toco-Tholin for Muscle Pain
Toco-Tholin drops can also be used as a muscle oil to help keep muscles and joints flexible! If you want to deeply massage the oil into your muscles, we recommend using a Toco-Tholin balm instead.
All Toco-Tholin balms are made from petroleum jelly and paraffin, mixed with Toco-Tholin drops and other ingredients, depending on the type of balm. They are quickly absorbed into the muscles and can be applied in a thin layer (for a warming effect) or a thick layer (for a cooling effect).
For example, Balm Warm and Balm Hot contain natural capsicum, which has a warming effect. This stimulates blood circulation in the muscles and provides a pleasant warming sensation.
