All natural relief from colds, flu, sinus infection, & congested nose. A super quick & easy steam to help alleviate symptoms.
What you'll need (& I will post both ways to create this) :
Method #1
- A large bowl
- Boiled water
- Peppermint / Peppermint oil
- Camphor oil
- Eucalyptus / Eucalyptus oil
OR if you don't have these ingredients laying about the house then an easy alternative is:
Method #2
- A large bowl
- boiled water
- Peppermint tea bag (I've use Tetley Pure Peppermint)
- Vicks® VapoRub®
*Please* be sure, your bowl is safe for boiled water, if it's not then only heat the water until it's steaming.
Method #1
Put about 5 drops of each oil in the bottom of the bowl, pour in the steaming water, mix, then with a towel over your head to create a 'tent', hover over the bowl inhaling the steam. (be sure the steam isn't so hot that it may burn your face) I like to keep my eyes closed because the camphor and peppermint can make them water.
Method #2
Rub some Vicks® VapoRub® around the bottom of the bowl, toss in a peppermint tea bag and add the steaming water. Then with a towel over your head to create a 'tent', hover over the bowl inhaling the steam. (be sure the steam isn't so hot that it may burn your face) I like to keep my eyes closed because the camphor and peppermint can make them water.
HAPPY HEALING.
