Late
season colds can really ruin your ability to enjoy the spring weather we are
finally getting. Sometimes the best way
to exist through a cold is to diminish the congestion. I have two remedies for congestion.
An
herb-based tea featuring cayenne pepper will clear the sinuses very
quickly. You can obtain our Work Cure tea or make your own using this recipe:
Work Cure Herb Tea
3 t. peppermint
2 t. thyme
1/8 t. cayenne
(If you double or triple this
recipe, don’t double the cayenne)
Combine
ingredients and use 1 tsp. per cup of hot water. Drink over the course of a day, rather than
as your morning brew.
You
can also make and Antiviral Spray with eucalyptus. It will remove airborne viruses and the
eucalyptus will open the nasal passages.
Antiviral Spray
30
drops eucalyptus essential oil
4
ounces distilled water
Place
both ingredients in a fine mist spray bottle and shake well before using. Use
the mist often when feeling congested or when exposed to colds and viruses.
Keep a bottle handy to spray on pillow, hands, and phones, especially an office
or desk phone others are using.
