It is a patented device that, when placed in the upper chest area near the nose, harnesses the power of aromatherapy through inhaling essential oil vapor. This patch is unique as the healing molecules enter the body entirely by inhalation. It is NOT transdermal, meaning that no elements of the oils enter the skin.

Breatherapy tabs are so portable and easy to use that they make aromatherapy easily accesible. The tab is discreet when placed in the upper chest area, just below the shirt line, or under a shirt collar. This works well for people who may not want others to know they have a patch on.

Each pre-filled Breatherapy tab contains essential oils and each oil has unique benefits for your health. When placed near the nose, the aromatherapy vapors are easily inhaled and provide a therapeutic experience. Because Breatherapy tabs do not allow any essential oils to come into contact with the skin, they are the safest aromatherapy product on the market.

Linda Halcón PhD, MPH, RN, a retired Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing and member of the University’s Center for Spirituality and Healing and the Center for Child and Family Health Promotion Research, explains aromatherapy as follows: “When we inhale through the nose, airborne molecules interact with the olfactory organs and almost immediately, the brain . . . The limbic part of the brain is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance (Higley & Higley, 1998). Knowing this, we can hypothesize how inhalation of essential oils can have some very profound physiological and psychological effects!”
