Natural Remedies for Colds

"Low humidity dries out nasal passages, making it harder to trap and eliminate the micro-bugs." Tieraona Low Dog, MD

Tieraona Low Dog recommends using a humidifier, but make sure you keep the humidifier clean, so that it cannot harbor something like Legionnaire's Disease.  She adds five drops of oregano, eucalyptus or peppermint essential oils to the humidifier's reservoir to reduce germs and freshen air.  Steamy baths and showers help too.  Drip 10 drops of essential oil into the tub or onto a washcloth placed on the shower floor.  Breathe deeply.  She recommends peppermint oil to relieve headaches caused by congestion, eucalyptus as a decongestant, and oregano which she says is a proven antibacterial and fights sinus infections.
