What is a Hong Thai Inhaler?
The Hong Thai Inhaler is an original Thai herbal aromatherapy product, used in Thailand for everyday refreshment — at work and study, before, during or after exercise, while travelling. A strong, distinctive herbal inhaler that gives a quick, fresh sensation.
What's inside the tube?
The Hong Thai Inhaler is made with a formula based on Thai herbal tradition. The main elements of the formula are menthol, camphor and borneol, complemented by the essences of several traditional herbs. The carefully balanced blend delivers a strong, distinctively Thai, refreshing aroma.
What is it used for in Thailand?
Thai people use it in many situations: on long, tiring days, at work and study, before, during or after exercise, in busy or tiring moments, while travelling — in the car, on the bus or plane — or simply when they want a fresh, herbal scent. It is not a medicine and does not cure — it is an aromatherapy refreshing device.
How to use it?
- Open the tube.
- Hold it 2–3 cm from your nose.
- Take 1–2 slow, deep breaths through your nose.
- Screw the cap back on so it lasts.
Important: Do not touch the inside of the nose, and do not use on skin. Keep out of reach of children.
Who is it for?

- those who would use a natural aromatherapy product.
Not recommended
- children;
