Hello Helptobreathe, thank you for reaching out! I hear how much you struggle with your breathing and your desire to find ways of opening your airways. While all bodies are unique, many with COPD find any scented products, from perfumes, lotions, and shampoo to essential oils cause the airways to constrict and create issues with breathing. I thought this article and the comments at the end might be of interest to you, as one commenter speaks a bit about her experience with certain essential oils: https://copd.net/living/make-body-friendly/ I hope you might find this useful! Please keep us posted on what you discover is helpful for you. Wishing you a gentle day. ~Allyson (COPD.net team)
