GreenHealth Menthol Crystals 4 oz – 100% Natural | Strong Mint Scent for Aromatherapy, Diffusers, DIY Wax Melts, Soaps | Food-Grade Aluminum Bag

I received this product very quickly within about 4 days of ordering it. As soon as I opened the packaging, not the bag the crystals come in but the mailing package, I could smell the menthol. These crystals are very strong and have multiple uses.I bought the crystals to use in homemade shower tabs. I just took a few smaller pieces, the crystals come in different sizes and thickness, I crushed the pieces and mixed them in. I added peppermint and eucalyptus oil. I let the tabs sit in a tray to dry and you could smell the menthol in the air, it wasn't very strong but like a light scent, perfect to help breathing/sinus troubles. I also crushed a crystal and added it to a diffuser and it has helped with my sinuses. I have sinus trouble pretty often and these have helped!I recommend these to anyone who's looking to make homemade products or add to diffuser or a humidifier, the 4oz bag is a big size and will last awhile since the crystals are high quality a little will go a very long way!

I was sick for a solid two weeks with a sinus infection. Nothing helped, not even my cayenne pepper nasal sprays. When I purchased this, I wasn't sure what to expect. All I can say is WOW, opened up the sinus after just a few minutes. I been able to breathe clearly since. You have to be cautious as this stuff is powerful. I simply loaded a bowl with boiling water, dropped a few crystals, mixed em in, they dissolve fine for me. I closed my eyes and inhaled for a solid 5 minutes. I wasn't sitting above the bowl, it was just close by. I recommend this product for a hot bath maybe, but for my purpose it was great. Quality is perfect, price I believe was fair, because a little goes a long way.

I've found that for aches and pains I like Zim's Max Freeze best. It has no heat like Icy Hot, Ben Gay, etc., just 7% menthol, and that icy feeling really works. So I got some Blue Emu that's only 2.5 % menthol and it's pretty lame in comparison. That's what got me searching for menthol on Amazon and I came across these. They are super cool. Just by looking at them you can see that they're unadulterated pure crystals. So I warmed the Blue Emu in the microwave for a short time and put about half a teaspoon of these crystals in. They dissolved almost instantly and I stirred them in. I don't know what percentage menthol I ended up with but, boy, it's icy and it works. I think I can make pain relief cream out of regular hand cream now, and this 4 oz bag should last a long, long time. Good value for the money considering how strong it is.

These crystals are really strong and do a great job of helping with congestion when used in a humidifier. Many humidifiers you buy in the store have a place to put Vick's type menthalatum or other Menthol infused pads that are captured by the steam when running.TAKE NOTE... They DO MELT at about 100f, and you WILL have a mess on your hands if you don't store them in a cool place. Just keep them in a refrigerator somewhere. Or, keep them in a known cool place. They last a long time.I also use them with coconut oil and use the combo for massage. The combination of Oils and "warmth" that the Menthol makes when applied to one's back, shoulders, etc., makes a lovely and relaxing time, with the scent taking you off to a peaceful place!Lots of uses, just be CAREFUL NOT to touch your eyes, or sensitive skin, as Menthol WILL cause temporary discomfort. Not the end of the world but it can be uncomfortable for a while if you are not careful with how you handle the Menthol!Use the in your Sauna, along with Eucalyptus Oil, or use the Menthol as a substitute for Eucalyptus. Perfect for STEAM BATHS!

Very high quality menthol crystals. I ordered these to put in an all-natural version of Icy Hot rub I've been formulating. Recommended usage for menthol content runs at about 3-5% of overall formula. At 5%, this stuff makes a pleasant, tingling rub good for very minor muscle pain and relaxation. I found that this wasn't enough to combat the pain from the huge knot I have in my back. I upped the formula to 10% and let me tell you, the menthol is really powerful. The goal was to be able to take a pea-sized amount to rub into a target muscle and feel almost instant relief. At 10% I was able to achieve this sensation and it feels amazing. The sensation lasts upward of 30min to an hour. I would keep these crystals away from kids and animals to be honest, also wash your hands with soap and water after handling the crystals or any formula you put them in! I cannot stress this enough, someone could really burn their eyes with this stuff. It's that strong.
