Key Ingredients & Benefits
Peppermint Oil
A well-established herbal active with cooling, analgesic and decongestant properties. Peppermint Oil helps relieve headaches and migraines, soothes muscle pain, clears congested airways and provides an instantly uplifting and refreshing sensation — making it one of the most versatile actives in the formula.
Camphor
A warming and penetrating herbal active that helps relieve muscle and neck pain, assists with blood circulation and provides decongestant support for sinus and respiratory discomfort. Camphor’s warming properties complement the cooling action of Peppermint and Menthol in the formula.
Wintergreen
Naturally rich in methyl salicylate — a compound with well-established analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Wintergreen is particularly effective for muscle and joint pain relief and supports the overall pain-relieving action of the formula when applied directly to affected areas.
Eucalyptus Oil
A powerful decongestant and antimicrobial herbal oil. Eucalyptus Oil helps clear the airways, reduce the symptoms of sinusitis, colds, flu and bronchitis and provides soothing relief from hay fever and nasal congestion — particularly effective when inhaled or sprayed onto pillows and bedding.
Menthol
Provides an immediate cooling and soothing sensation on the skin and airways. Menthol enhances the decongestant and pain-relieving action of the formula, contributes to the mood-lifting and calming experience of the mist and helps support better sleep when used on pillows and bedding.
Green Rooibos Extract (Aspalathus Linearis)
Annique’s exclusive, extremely powerful natural antioxidant. Green Rooibos soothes and calms the skin, provides antioxidant protection and supports overall skin health — adding a gentle, restorative dimension to the active herbal blend that makes the formula suitable for use directly on the skin.

More recently I was very excited when Anna-Marie came to our offices and gave a demonstration. During her presentation she sprayed some of the Annique Rescue Mist. It smelled nice and seemed to open up my sinus, but at that stage I did not place an order for it. What an improvement. I started to spray just one spray on his little bed. First night he slept through without a snore or heavy breathing. Now he gets 2 sprays every night. (And his loving Aunt…aka me get some too) I love the product. A dog is a (wo)man’s best friend….well our Knoffel deserves the very best and the Rescue Mist in my opinion is just that!!

My name is Marisa. I went to an Annique ladies tea many many years ago and was intrigued by the healing powers of Rooibos Tea. I was diagnosed with low blood sugar as a child and one day discovered that when I feel dizzy, a cup of Rooibos Tea sorted out my sugar levels in seconds. Needless to say…I am a Rooibos fan! Plus it’s ‘Proudly South African’.
