    Sleeping remedy i think came in a little squeezy rubbery tear drop that you tweaked the end off and it had a mentholy smell.

    any ideas what this was?

    cheers.

    The thing that actually comes to mind is not a sleeping remedy as such.

    There’s a product called Olbas Oil, it comes in a very small bottle, it has menthol, camphor, and eucalyptus in it. The thing is, they used to make it in capsule form years ago, a bit like a cod liver oil capsule. You could squeeze it into a hankerchief to inhale its vapours, or onto a pillow etc to help you breath easier through the night if you had a blocked-up nose. Could that be what you are thinking of?

    I’m… not bothering to explain myself but this stuff was in a little rubber capsule and used when I was twee I remember the adverts on the tv.

    Not albus oil, might be camphor oil.

    cheers
