Made Euc
We've all been there at one time or another. A severe cold, with severe sinus impacts. Either your nose is running too much or is so blocked that your head feels like it's under water.
At one of our shows recently, I was suffering from a severe cold and taking some OTC medications that, contrary to the packaging, were making me drowsy. I was fortunate enough to have been neighbored up with a lovely grandmotherly type that weekend. Her advice was a salt bath. Knowing what I know about the healing nature of salt and herbs I got an idea and ran with it.
So when I came home, I consulted my healing herbs bible, along with my favorite internet stops to create a new recipe. Here is my recipe for an herbal home remedy for blocked sinuses:
- 8 cups of water
- 1 cup of whole eucalyptus leaves
- 1/2 cup of peppermint
- 1/3 cup of dead sea salt
Bring the water to a rolling boil and add the herbs and salt. Mix it gently, and wait for the steam to get good and thick.
The house smelled a bit like a candy cane dipped in Vick's, with a pair of dirty football socks steeping somewhere. It was a pleasant smell, with a just hint of the "medicinal" attributes lurking in the steam. I attribute that to the Dead Sea Salt.
Transfer a few cups of the steamy mixture into a good-sized bowl (like a mixing bowl), cover your head and the steamy bowl with a towel and breath in deeply through your mouth and nose.
After about 2 minutes was able to, you know, blow my nose. My face had a clean, fresh feel, my eyes were bright and clear and most importantly, my sinus was empty. And about 30 minutes later, I had a bit of energy back but more notably, my sinus was still clear and my nose was dry.
For me, the remedy worked for about 6 hours. Not a cure. But not a bad dose of symptom relief - much better than the OTC remedies we normally rely upon. I still had a tremendous cold, and little long-lasting energy but I will say that this particular home remedy eased my most aggravating symptom in a nice way. It was affordable, it was natural, easy to make and it helped. We can't ask for much for much more than that.
So if you want to try it out, let us know what you think. We have lots of Euc and Peppermint and enough Dead Sea Salt to last the winter, so feel free to order it from the store (www.earthworksrus.com). And my home-made all-natural lemon/lavender lip balm is a must have for the winter cold season!
I give this recipe a thumbs up, and we'll keep using it.
