Interesting read in the European Lung Foundation's (ELF) newsletter about a study into how menthol can help to relieve the feelings of breathlessness. Hopefully this link works, but if not, take a look at their site:Can menthol inhalation reduce the feeling of breathlessness? - European Lung Foundation

I hope it works well for many people .I know that menthol bothers me these days; I am hypersensitive to a lot of chemicals.
