What are Mackenzies Smelling Salts?

Mackenzies Smelling Salts are a remedy for congestion or symptoms of a head cold. They’re ideal for times when inflamed mucous membranes in your nose and throat are causing a blocked nose and phlegm, helping to clear your airways. This product can be used by most people, including infants older than 3 months, and are perfect for those looking for a congestion treatment that won’t make them drowsy or can be used by the whole family.

What is a head cold?

A head cold is just a regular cold, although some people associate a head cold specifically with symptoms that affect your head. These symptoms include:

  • Sinus pressure, pain or irritation

  • Headaches

  • Coughs

  • Sneezing

  • Sore throat

  • Loss of taste or smell

  • A fever or high temperature

  • Muscular aches and pains

How will Mackenzies Smelling Salts ease my congestion?
