Brocha on Olbas oil

Question:

What Brocho if any is made on Olbas Oil?

Active ingredients w/w: Cajuput Oil 18.5%, Clove Oil 0.1%, Eucalyptus Oil 35.45%, Juniperberry Oil 2.7%, Levomenthol 4.1%, Methyl Salicylate 3.7%, Mint Oil, Partly Dementholised 35.45%.

 

Answer:

Hello,

we don't eat Olbasoil as it is not for internal use, therfore there is no bracha on it. Regarding its smell, although they write that it contains various oils, it isn't clear that it is the actual oil and not the mint etc., that was soaked in oil and got the int smell. Therefore we would not say any bracha on it.

Best wishes
