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. Please keep us posted on what you discover is helpful for you. Wishing you a gentle day. ~Allyson (COPD.net team)
